<\/p>\n\nIt\u2019s 2018 and you\u2019re fine as you are, so forget that whole \u201cnew year, new you\u201d crap…<\/p>\n
Why don’t you make this the year you find yourself a new lurver, instead?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n\n
We know dating (online dating in particular) can be confusing at times, we enlisted a little help!<\/p>\n
In the name of love, we chatted with the team at Tinder about what you’re doing wrong when it comes to the app and well, it turns out there are a few things.<\/p>\n

1. Stop leaving your bio blank:<\/strong> <\/p>\n People wanna see some personality!<\/p>\n 2. Smile in your photos:<\/strong><\/p>\n I mean, this should be obvious? No one wants to date this look:<\/p>\n People who smile increase their chances of being right-swiped by 14 <\/em>per cent<\/em>. <\/em><\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> Get rid of those bloody sunglasses: <\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019re basically asking to be left-swiped. <\/p>\n 4.<\/strong> Choose photos where you\u2019re wearing colour: <\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019ll help you stand out against the 72 per cent of users who wear black, navy or white in their pics. <\/p>\n Yes, we know 99.9 <\/em>per cent<\/em> of your wardrobe is made up of those colours. <\/em><\/p>\n 5.<\/strong> Give \u2018Smart Photos\u2019 a whirl: <\/strong><\/p>\n It can improve your chances of being right-swiped on by up to 12 per cent. <\/p>\n 6. Link your Instagram account:<\/strong><\/p>\n You know people are trying to stalk you on it, anyway. <\/p>\n 7.<\/strong> Swipe on a Sunday: <\/strong><\/p>\n Sunday afternoon is when Tinder\u2019s users are the most active.<\/p>\n Who knew? <\/em><\/p>\n There is one thing that is setting your Tinder game back above all else, however. <\/strong><\/p>\n …And no, it\u2019s not your gym mirror selfies \u2013 but ew, get rid of those, anyway.<\/p>\n It\u2019s how you approach your convos. According to the folk at Tinder, sending a GIF is said to get the best results\u2026 (who doesn\u2019t like GIFs, right?). <\/p>\n Apparently, users who use GIFs are 30 per cent more likely to get a response and are more likely to have conversations that last twice as long.<\/p>\n The only other tips Tinder has to offer are: be yourself, and be respectful. <\/p>\n Now go forth and swipe, lovelies! <\/p>\n Image and GIFs: NBC, Warner Bros<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New year, new boo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":1503,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[201,439],"tags":[],"geo_market":[],"class_list":["post-4333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","category-love-dating"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/cms.smooth.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/tenor_10.gif\" "\\"\\"")
