Just think of the most ridiculous thing you think you could get away with, frame it properly and fire away. Worse thing that could happen? She won't have a sense of humor.

Not sure about posts to read on RP about tinder, Don't use tinder that often. But in terms of pictures, the common advice would be to make sure you seem like your life is interesting. The best is to have photos of you with other women. I have 5 photos.

1.) me getting my beard tickled by some guy dressed up like a Satyr at a Renaissance Festival. (I'm not looking at the camera). I'm smiling in the pic. 2.) A pic with a family friend and his GF drinking beer 3.) A general selfie of me 4.) a picture of me and my attractive sister-in-law (bitches obviously won't know thats who it is so again that have photos with girls rule comes into play) 5.) a photo of NY city from the roof of a skyscraper i took when I lived in NY for a few months.

literally nothing special. just a few photos of me having fun. i'm not jacked either. but i average about 7 new matches every 2-3 days. i just have women in my photos. I think the first photo is what's important. I've experimented and swapped the photos in different orders and never get as much success. I also asked 7 new matches if they actually look at photos or if they just swipe and every single one said they look at profiles if the 1st photo grabs their attention. just make sure you're having fun IRL and you should have plenty of good pics.

What kind of pictures should a guy post on tinder?

Women want to know: will he look good in public, will he look good in the bedroom, can other people (women) stand to be around him, and most importantly- will my basic life less boring if I hang around with him?

Just like any communication, actions speak louder than words, so SHOW with your pictures that you're fit for the job. It's your "Awesome life resume". All my bio says is my height and neighborhood.

Pic 1: professional quality or at least very high quality shoulders up non-selfie head shot. Since you always have your style and grooming in order (right?) this can be your "everyday" look. Neutral or "gameface" looking down and slightly away from the camera like something else has your attention. If you do look at the camera, smirk and smolder with your eyes. No toothy grins, no sunglasses. Background should be non-distracting and not your dirty room. If at all possible, don't use your cellphone camera for the headshot. Get someone to take your pictures through the longest focal lens they have. Short lenses exaggerate your features in a non-flattering way. Read this

Pic 2: Shirtless doing something natural besides posing. Football at the beach, chopping wood while camping, petting a dog and holding a Frisbee at the park. Not a selfie.

Pic 3: Dressed up with friends having fun. That candid pic from that NYE party when your wore your suit. You can check two boxes if the group is mixed gender and a girl is touching you. If not, posed with your bros is fine.

Pic 4-6: You doing hobbies or shenanigans. If there's another girl in any of these, all the better ("look how much fun she's having!"). Action shots > posed. These are when you should be grinning like a kid. Think "cliche catalog selling stuff for this lifestyle". If you have a boat, it should be the setting for one of these, but not the focus. Avoid the same "local hike with awesome view" that all the other dudes use. These are the pictures she'll be scrolling through after your first 2 made her swipe right, the bait for her to ask about once the conversation is open.

Some examples that have gotten attention for my friends and I:

• Kayaking through a huge hole
• ski lift selfie
• selfie with a chick with your motorcycle and a view in the background
• beer-in-hand sport like kickball or sack race
• lighting fireworks in front of an apres-ski hot tub full of girls
• you on stage with your band
• laughing around a campfire
• wet and laughing with your surfing buddies
• eating weird food in a travel destination

Caveat / qualifier: I'm mid-30s, 6'3, 195#@~13% BF. I live in a major city. I daygame, but supplement with apps. I open up Tinder every once in a while, but my app success has been with 25-29yo HB7 "career women" almost exclusively using Bumble. Since my goal is to attract women to fuck AND date (fuck multiple times), my picture group is designed to portray myself as a hawt boyfriend prospect. When my account is fresh or reset, I get 10-20 matches per day in the first week, then it tapers off to 2-3 per day for the next couple months. I filter aggressively for investment. I escalate, but rarely press for sex on the first date and if I'm interested enough for dates 2+, it usually happens then.

EDIT to insert link to lens article

I have 3 pics. One is a modeled one I did with a friend. Another is a shirtless mirror selfie. The third is a ski lift selfie. Keep it simple interesting and sexual.

Totally agree about the younger women. I match with them all the time but it's one word answers, no answers, or total reluctance to commit to anything. I find in general young hot girls inept when it comes to making long term plans...and by long term I mean for the next fucking day. They generally are just swept in the direction that the current of life is sweeping them in that exact moment and if they are hot there are allot of currents. Like a horse with blinders that can only see what is directly in front of their face.... so you need to go out and get in front of their face to really score 10's.

I do something similar, except I go for their number and use the reasoning that I don't like texting. It has several benefits. First, when you're talking on the phone, they actually have to think fast and respond, not just look at your text and mull it over and never respond. Second, I have a deep voice and chicks dig it. Third, I have decent verbal game which sets me above a lot of guys. Text game is easy to learn, you don't have to think quickly, and you're not setting yourself above anyone else when you use it. Not saying it's not a skill worth having, it's just a prerequisite. Nothing special.

in smaller places, the women are more skittish. there's a higher chance you have mutual friends or something, and your queue will literally run out of matches

i don't think this changes the optimal strategy, but it can harm the abundance mentality that something like tinder is supposed to have

(to people in that situation: move to a big city. it's more important than lifting)

None of them are an accomplishment. Once you fuck one HB10 you haven't "fucked them All" but after three HB10s, there no different from the HB5s. The BS of all women gets irky and you'll start looking for the path of least resisitance from HB4-10 merely to drain your balls and get back to what you want to accomplish out of life. Female Validation becomes irrelevant after you leave HS/college. The most beautiful women HB8-10 are for sale. HB6-7 are commoner time,energy,money drains. HB3-5 are the midst opionated and "Victimized" chick's on planet earth and HB1-3 unfurtunately have a serious physical disability or disorder and 9/10 its just immoral to exploit them. Only time a womans attention is really valid is when she sacrifices to save you time ,money or energy. Other than that find one you can afford$$$ to keep if you want or loose if you can't.

While I'm on the toilet is pretty much the only time I'll use tinder.
