30 Best Tinder Has Released Pictures Of The Top 30 Most Right Swiped People

As the image above shows, the popularity blend shows you more of Tinder’s most popular users when you’re swiping.

That means you can see the profiles that are killing it on Tinder – the profiles that you’re going to emulate for your very own Tinder success.

Together with the ability to change Tinder location on Tinder Plus, it means you can set your location to anywhere in the world and see who the most popular people are.

Unfortunately, the Tinder blend feature is currently in a testing stage and isn’t yet available in the United States.

But because I’m part of the testing group (it’s being tested in Australia), I’m able give you an early glimpse of Tinder’s most popular guys and the Tinder profile strategies that they’re using.

…That means you can get a jump start and begin using these Tinder strategies before anyone else!

Edit: The very useful Popularity Blend function that I used to peer into Tinder’s elite user base and get these findings was later scrapped by Tinder. It never made it past Tinder’s testing phase in Australia. It was good while it lasted.

1. The most popular Tinder guys are attractive

This won’t be a surprise to anyone.

Users who receive the most likes on Tinder are good looking looking people.

Actually they’re very good looking – a lot of the most popular guys are models:

It’s no wonder that attractive people are most popular – we all find physical beauty irresistible because it’s hardwired in our nature.

When we see a beautiful face it actually makes reward centers in our brain light up… It does the same thing to our brain as does addictive substances (think chocolate or drugs).

We’re addicted to beauty and it shows on Tinder.

Now, we can’t change how beautiful we are, but for us average-looking guys there are still important points we can take from this so we can get more Tinder matches…

What the obsession for beauty means for your Tinder profile

Because attractiveness is rewarded so strongly on Tinder, you absolutely need to make sure your profile photos maximize your looks.

There’s no use writing a hilarious and witty essay in your Tinder bio trying to convince people you’re a great guy – it’s a waste of time.

Your bio is a great tool for starting conversations and encouraging girls to message you first, but it won’t move the needle when it comes to matches.

When it comes to getting more quality Tinder matches it’s how you look in your photos that matter most.

And more specifically, it’s how you look in your main Tinder profile photo that matters most.

To show you the importance of choosing a main profile photo that maximizes your looks, let’s take a look at an example…

Here’s a profile photo of Zach:

From what we can see he’s a decent looking guy who you’d expect to get an average amount of matches… Just a few, nothing crazy.

But what if I told you he was one of the most popular guys on Tinder in California – possibly in all of the United States.

…Would you believe me?

Probably not.

Well he is – Zach is one of the top 1% of Tinder users.

And why is he?

…Because he has an awesome main Tinder profile photo that maximizes his looks:

He looks like a completely different guy when comparing both pictures.

It goes to show how different photos can alter your attractiveness significantly.

And also, it shows how important your main Tinder profile picture is.

A great main Tinder picture can make all the difference.

Here are a couple more Tinder photo examples showing the difference a great photo can make in terms of your attractiveness (and your profile matches):

Mark and Miklos above are good looking guys so none of their photos are terribly bad, but the difference a good photo can make is pretty amazing, even for them.

So the two main points to take from this are:

You can look up to 5x more attractive just by taking the right photos. That can mean an increase of 5X to 10x the amount of matches you get.Your main Tinder photo selection is the most important – get this right and your Tinder matches will skyrocket. Your supporting photos still matter, but they’re not as important as your main Tinder picture when it comes to getting more matches..

And just to let you know, I’m not saying you need to look super-attractive like these guys to succeed on Tinder – you absolutely don’t!

Remember, these guys are the top 1%.

What I’m saying is that you might be a decent looking guy, but you’re probably using the wrong types of photos which are keeping you from reaching your potential.

All you need to do is add the right photos so you look your best, which takes very little effort, and the amount of girls you match with come rushing in.

The effect won’t just be an increase of one or two matches each day… but an increase of 2x, 5x or even 10x the amount of quality girls that you’re matching with right now.

Maximize your attractiveness by using a few simple techniques and you’ll maximize your quality matches.

So what are those techniques?

Well, it’s what all the popular guys on Tinder are already doing…

2. The best main Tinder photos for your profile

One of the first things that you”ll notice about the popular Tinder guys is that they tend to use the same types of main profile pictures.

From the way they pose to their facial expressions – they all use the same key techniques that have been proven to make girls more interested in them.

Solo waist-up/head shot photos

The majority of popular Tinder guys have a waist-up or a headshot as their profile photo, with no one else included, like these:

It seems obvious to make sure that your main Tinder photo clearly shows who you are – after all, why would anyone like your profile if they can’t see what you look like?

This is no sneaky-trick, it’s just common sense.

However, many people still make the mistake of using a main picture where you can’t see their face or can’t identify who the profile belongs to, like group pictures:

The most popular users on Tinder never use main photos like that.

If you want more matches, neither should you.

You need to be able to make sure people can see what you look like instantly so they can “connect” with you. Here are a couple of stats directly from the official team at Tinder:

Wearing a hat: makes you 15% less likely to get a right swipe.Wearing glasses (sunglasses or spectacles): makes you 12% less likely to get a right swipe.

Look away from the Camera

This is a very common theme among Tinder’s most popular guys, like these:

And as you’ll notice above, these elite Tinder guys DON’T smile when they’re looking away from the camera.

This seems strange, but it’s supported by a psychological experiment that shows men aren’t as sexually attractive in the eyes of women when they’re showing emotions of happiness.

(For the record, women found guys showing emotions of pride the most sexually attractive.)

This “non-smiling” phenomenon is also supported by one of the world’s largest online dating sites, OkCupid.

They found that for men, looking away from the camera and not smiling produce the best results for a main profile picture:

http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/the-4-big-myths-of-profile-pictures/

I used to recommend this type of picture, but not anymore. Here’s why: very few guys can pull off a photo like this.

Out of the hundreds of guys who have tried to recreate a looking-away picture and asked me to review it, only two or three have managed to make it look decent. Most of the looking-away pictures I see (seriously 99% of them) come out looking forced, unnatural, and to be honest a little weird. You don’t want that.

So your surest way of increasing your matches is to forget about the “mysterious model” look and instead create trust and connection with every girl who looks at your photo. That means using a main photo where you’re smiling and looking directly at the camera.

This is supported by the official team at Tinder who say:

Smiling will make you 14% more likely to get a right swipe.Directly facing the camera will make you 20% more likely to get a right swipe.

If you have a naturally candid photo where you’re looking away from the camera and showing pride, you can include it as a supporting photo because it’ll add variety to your profile. But for your main pic you’re best to look at the camera and smile because that’s guaranteed to get you great results.

The other big tip for for creating trust and connection is to convey open body language: no crossed-arms and no arm-in-pockets will make you look more friendly, approachable and inviting.

Selfie for a main Tinder photo – yes or no?

Only a very small portion of Tinder’s most popular guys used a selfie for their main picture.

This probably means that selfies aren’t the best style of Tinder photos for a guy to use because they’re harder to pull off.

Selfies either look to feminine or just too creepy – especially selfies in the mirror.

Jessica agrees:

So selfies are out, but what if you have no one around to take photos of you?…

How to take a non-selfie Tinder picture (without the help of friends or family)

You don’t need to take selfies – just use the self-timer function on your camera or iphone.

If you do it on your iPhone you don’t need any apps because everything is already built in.

Step 1:Go into your camera app and make sure you have it switched to the “Photo” setting (at the bottom of your screen).Then tap the timer symbol up the top of the screen

Step 2:Select the “10s” mode which will give you a 10 second countdown after you take the photo. This will give you enough time to run in front of the camera and get your pose ready.

When the countdown gets to zero, your iPhone will take 10 photos in a row. That means you’ll be able to select the best one.

(If you need any more help on how to use the self-timer function on your iPhone, you can go here).

That’s it – easy! Now it will look like someone else has taken the photo for you.

That means there’s no need for mirror selfies anymore!

Summary Tips for your main Tinder profile picture

Make sure your main Tinder profile clearly shows youUse a waist-up or head shot style photoNo group photosLooking away from the camera is a successful tacticNot smiling may help you more than smiling, but both is okNo selfies – they’re just for girls. Use the timer function on your camera or iPhone instead.

3. The best Tinder pictures to show off your body

Another very common factor among Tinder’s most popular guys is that they show off their bodies.

A lot use shirtless pictures for their main Tinder profile or in their supporting pictures:

Again, this shirtless profile photo trend among Tinder’s most popular users is backed up by the online dating giant OKCupid who ran experiments on exactly this topic:

Contrary to everything you read about profile pictures, if you’re a guy with a nice body, it’s actually better to take off your shirt than to leave it on…

Dating, both online and off is about playing to your strengths, and it should be no different for men with muscles.

– OkCupid

One (important) thing you’ve probably noticed from these super-popular Tinder profiles is that all the shirtless pictures are tasteful and sometimes artistic…

The elite Tinder guys don’t use shirtless selfies taken in the bathroom or gym photos, unlike a lot of guys on Tinder:

So when it comes to being super-successful on Tinder, showing off a good physique by using tasteful photos is the clear winner.

Of course, one thing to note that is that shirtless Tinder pictures work because the guys who have them in their profiles are the guys who have bodies worth showing off.

So if you’ve got it, flaunt it…. And if you don’t have an exceptional body, then you can always use the next best Tinder profile picture (#4).

Summary Tinder profile tips:

If you have an exceptional physique, show it off on your Tinder profile as it’s likely to get you more matchesA shirtless picture will do well for your main Tinder profile photo, or in your supporting pictures, but only if you have an exceptional body.Don’t be a douche – keep the shirtless photos tasteful and a little artistic and you’ll get more Tinder matches

4. Tinder pics with a dog

Pets have been described as chick-crack when it comes to online dating, and for good reason… girls absolutely adore cute puppies and other pets.

They say it in their bios and they show it by sending endless Tinder moments (RIP) of their own dog:

The most popular guys know the amazing effect that cute puppies have on Tinder girls and they’re using that chick-crack to their advantage:

Having a dog in your Tinder profile (in either your main or supporting Tinder pictures) will make a girl stop and take a little bit more notice… Girls swoon over every dog (unlike swooning over every guy on Tinder).

I also think that including your dog in your profile adds an extra dynamic – it makes you seem more friendly and likable, which will only help to get more Tinder matches.

It’s working for the most popular guys on Tinder and it’ll work for you was well.

Using your dog to start a Tinder conversation and get a date

Here’s a creative Tinder photo that one of the popular guys on Tinder used to show off his dog:

A Tinder photo like Alex’s on your profile that introduces your dog is a great way to encourage girls to start a conversation with you.

By introducing his dog, Alex is creating a personal connection with the girls that swipe his profile.

That connection will get him more matches and also help girls think of something to say when starting a conversation.

It will also give him a great path to getting a date… When a girl asks about his dog, he could say something like:

“You know Zero could do with some new friends… would your dog be interested in a play date? ;)” 

If you don’t want to go to the effort of adding text into your photos to introduce your dog, you can simply add your dogs name in your Tinder bio.

Here’s an example of a good Tinder bio that you can use to encourage girls to start a conversation with you:

My dog’s name is Toby – he would love it if you said Hi to him 😉

Tinder profile Tips

If you’re wondering what types of photos you should be adding to your Tinder profile, consider adding one with your pet. Preferably a cute puppy.Experiment with introducing your dog on your Tinder profile – it’s a great way to start a conversation.

5. The best Tinder photos are high quality

When it comes down to it, the difference between an awesome Tinder picture and an average picture is the quality of the photo.

You can take a picture of the most beautiful person in the world, but if it’s grainy and blurry it’s going to look crappy.

That’s why when you look through Tinder’s most popular profiles, EVERY SINGLE GUY has a high-quality main picture that maximizes his attractiveness.

Just take a look back through all the photos that you’ve seen so far – every single main Tinder photo is high quality.

And for most popular guys, all Tinder pictures in their profile are high quality, not just the main.

It’s simple:

low-quality photos = less matches

high-quality photos = more matches

Here’s a comparison of two different quality Tinder pictures – one low quality, the other high:
