The "Smart Photos" Tool is About to Change Your Tinder Game Big-Time

Some days, you magically crush the Tinder game with a match rate of what feels like a hundred freakin' percent. That hottie Eric, 27, “my favorite place are the ones I haven’t been to yet,” asks you out for happy hour drinks, then Louis books you later that night for an art gallery exhibit, and the smokeshow from Knoxville, TN, just Super Liked you in one fell swoop—erm, swipe. And then other days...is the app broken? Are you in some warped time-lag zone? You’re sinking 1 out of 20 shots and ready to call it quits. We feel you.
But thanks to Tinder’s new Smart Photos function, which launches today, you can make strides in saving yourself from swiping oblivion. Available to all Tinder users (though you can opt out, if you’d like), the game-changing tool will rotate your default profile photo as it uses algorithms to determine which pics are your top-performers. It's technology that actually buffs up your success rate by giving you reliable feedback you can count on. In fact, during its beta-phase, users got a bump of up to 12% in successful right-swiping. And in case you were looking for that excuse to up your Tinder usage, the algorithm gets smarter the more time you spend using the app.
If you want to beef up your profile the good ol' fashioned way, follow these three simple tips from relationship expert Dr. Gloria Brame, sex therapist and author of Sex for Grown-Ups. They may not rely on fancy loops of code, but we dare you to try them and not watch your Tinder game and swipe ratio (hey, it’s a thing) see a serious spike.
1. Adjust your attitude to the kind of person you want to attract.
Want someone playful and easygoing? Forget smug glances and sultry stares. Show your biggest, most natural smile. A wide, friendly smile is a magnet for people who want to have a good time. Besides, hordes of non-scientific studies (erm, user experience) have proven that nothing turns people off faster than an omni-present duckface. That and, “I love to travel and I’m 5’7’’ (in heels)"...said every person ever.
2. Have at least one photo where you look proudly assertive. Go ahead, let it be known that you’re a total #GirlBoss. Showcase a photo with your hands on hip, looking boldly ahead with a strong eye gaze. A challenging look or playful smirk will have a throng of worshippers lining up.
3. Looking for a bad boy or girl? Stick to demure shots. It may seem counterintuitive, but don't look too sassy—he or she wants to be the renegade in the relationship. Show them you're pretty but ready to enjoy their rough and rowdy ways.
