Dating Wiki for Men

By far the most common question I've seen from guys online is how to get matches. 0. Get good pictures of yourself clicked if you don't have any. Strictly no selfies. Also try and avoid profiles with too many selfies (it usually means they don't have enough friends in life which is a red flag). 1. Pictures shouldn't be old/outdated. Always upload recent ones. One or two should be of you doing something interesting (with friends, some hobby/activity) and your face and body should be visible clearly. Have at least 1-2 pics where full body is visible. 2. Do not have more than 3 sentences in your bio. Don't try too hard to describe yourself in a profile (don't fill up that profile to 100% details filled). Leave some space for mystery. 3. OBSESS over bio introduction. It should be crisp, witty and error free. It will make or break your profile. 4. Gym pics and car pics are a hit and miss. Some will go for it, others won't. Different personalities will go for different things. Upto you which kind you want to attract. 5. If you have pics with female friends, can add one. Women trust other women to select men. If you already have healthy female friendships, that's a green flag for them. Do take permission from your friends though. And it should be a group pic, not one where it's just you and one woman. They would assume that's your gf/ex, which is red flag for many. Just do this much and it will definitely boost your matches.

0. Try to have a call/video call before the first date. Always take their phone number/insta id before agreeing to meet, plenty of ghosters and shady folks these days. 1. Always try to meet outside for the first date. Don't go for drives. Those kinda dates almost never end up going well in the long run. Ask to meet halfway, don't go out of your way just to meet someone. 2. Don't meet someone with the expectation to start dating or getting married right away. Get to know them as friends first. Everything else later. 3. Date for 2-3 months at least before committing to be exclusive, don't rush into things and keep your options open. 4. Do not go for dates when you're feeling down or depressed. Meeting a stranger most likely won't help, it'll only distract temporarily. 5. Draw up a list of things you want and don't want in a partner. Should have at least 5-6 points on both sides. Pointless to date without knowing that much, but the list will also change with time. 6. Keep an open mind, try to be empathetic, and have fun. Don't compromise just to please the other. Learn to take a stand and draw boundaries from the start. 7. Use protection always, no matter what. And also have some self defense prepared just in case (for all genders). Having met hundreds of people through dating apps in the last decade, these are a few rules I formed for myself over time. Hope they help :)

And why

Which dating app works in Bengaluru? I am an average looking guy and single. Honestly just wanna like company of someone. I tried bumble and tinder but not getting matches (both premium). I don't know why. Feeling a lot lonely nowadays.

Does anyone know why every one in bangalore suggests download bumble to every new person who comes to bangalore, when asked what to do in new city?

Like i bought bumble premium for 200rs and my profile was complete for almost 80 percentage. Still not even a single woman matched with me. Well dating app gave me insecurity 💀

Want to move away from hookups to dating but everyone is just to hookup on dating apps. Really how should i kill time here? Doing gym for 4 hours currently but getting bored. Thinking of trying swimming.
