hinge method is see nobody doing or talking about. you probably need to be HMTN+ to do this. doing this has increased my match rate significantly. this probably could work for other apps as well but i've only really tried it on hinge so far.
First you get to have a photo of you and 2-3 other people, ideally two, where you terra them. it needs to be pretty brutal, the more the better, ideally taller and better facially, although mine im the same height as the other two but facially way better.
(this also works if your way taller. im not so i can't do that. still imo a face mog will work way better than a height mog. if you can get both good for you, you prolly dont even need this method)
Then you are going to put this group photo as your FIRST photo. this is counter to what most hinge guru coach types tell you. they say that your first photo should always be a solo shot of you.
then your SECOND photo should be the clear facial shot of you.
here's why this is better:
1. you are contrasting yourself with less attractive guys, which makes you look better by comparison, vs if you are just by yourself, she is comparing you to the other chads in her likes. not ideal. a photo of you with less good looking guys is a bit of a reality check.
2. even more importantly, something very common on hinge is that guys and girls alike, put a group photo as their first photo, but they are the least attractive person in the photo. not sure why people do this, maybe they are just delusional?
anyway by doing this method, essentially you subvert expectations, since girls are expecting you to be one of the uglier guys in the pic.
3. you increase the chances they click on your profile when they scroll through likes, since the will be curious about who you are in the pic. once they see you are the best looking, they will be more likely to match with you. this gives you frame. vs normally if you just have a solo pic, she is scrolling through likes comparing you to the local chads.
anyway try it out let me know how it works, I increased my match rate doing this without changing any photos, just switching that group pic to my first photo.
