He noticed an increase in the response from girls, but many were also more skeptical. Fayaz thinks Tinder is not designed well for boys. He prefers to check up on girls in real life or on Instagram. Psychology professor Leif Edward Kennair is skeptical about whether professional photos on Tinder are worth the money. He believes that those who succeed on Tinder are the same as those who succeed in the city. Tinder photographer Bjørk Ellingsbø gives advice on how to improve your dating profile, including by having varied photos and avoiding too many professional photos. The summary is made by an AI service from OpenAi. The content is quality checked by news’s journalists before publication. – I noticed that I got even more response from the girls, but many were also more skeptical. That’s what 21-year-old Fayaz Ahmadzai says. He made contact with a Tinder photographer last October. Fayaz brought a couple of different outfits and was photographed in several different places. He has used the pictures on both dating apps and LinkedIn. – There have been a few more matches, but I haven’t noticed such a big difference. – I have never used Tinder so seriously. It doesn’t work as well as actually genuinely approaching a lady on the street or in the city. He prefers to check up on ladies in real life or by sliding into the DM on Instagram. Fayaz believes that Tinder is not designed very well for boys. – Many girls are only on the apps for fun, as a type of pastime, he says. And Fayaz probably has a point here, just read this case: Think Tinder doesn’t work – It’s a way to sell yourself, but the more professional the photos become, or the more “paintbrushed” they become, then the less and less credible. That’s what Leif Edward Kennair says. He is a professor of psychology at NTNU and has researched Tinder. The professor understands the motivation behind getting good photos for a dating profile, but he is skeptical about whether it is actually worth the money. – Those who succeed on Tinder are the same who succeed in the city. Kennair compares taking good pictures of yourself to Tinder to dressing nicely or putting on make-up before going out the door. Photo: Aurora Nordnes The professor compares Tinder to a catalogue. – Most people who are on Tinder, especially girls, are there because they are bored. Many browse the app because they are curious about what is out there, he says. According to Kennair’s research, Tinder doesn’t work very well. – Boys who don’t succeed don’t have kjangs. The girls who are picky don’t get boyfriends, but they may have sex with the same guy in competition to get him. Tip from the Tinder photographer – It almost feels like I’m on a date with the people I’m photographing, says Bjørk Ellingsbø. She who works as a photographer for Tinderbilder.no in Bergen, and says that it is mostly boys who contact the company. Photo: private Here are some of her photo tips for the dating profile: First photo is crucial The first photo acts as the first impression and is therefore the most important. In many cases, this photo can determine whether someone swipes right or left, Ellingsbø believes: – The first photo should never be a selfie, a group photo or have poor quality. You shouldn’t hide parts of your face either. Have varied photos. Varied photos in different settings are good. Some pictures with friends, but not too many. Ellingsbø has Tinder herself and says she can become skeptical if someone smiles exactly the same in all their photos. – Show different sides of yourself. Have pictures where your face is shown well. Have some photos with friends, but not too many. Don’t be afraid to offer yourself a little. A selfie is allowed, but avoid mirror images! Don’t only have professional photos The Tinder photographer says that they advise their customers to mix the professional photos in a mix with their own photos. – A high-quality image can be a good sales image. But if you swipe on a person with only professional photos, you almost start to wonder if the person is a model, laughs the photographer. She says the key to a good profile is varied photos and a bio that can be a conversation starter. Hello!Thank you for reading this matter.
