Hello, fellow men reading this. I have tried my best to include all my learning and those of my friends. I’ve written this as informally as possible.
Let’s get right into it.
Functionality matters as much as features; your personality will matter as much as your looks.
Your looks or pictures on the app will act as a hook, something that will stop girls from swiping left on the spot.

stop looking for “learnings” everywhere - step out, get a life. you’re looking for a date, not for a PM role
Personality
-My matches tripled when I used creative prompts and intros compared to normal intros and images. -Your prompts should ideally either tell about you or showcase your niche interests. Use one to tell about yourself and another to create interest in you. Just saying you like F1 is not enough. Maybe use a prompt like “My hell was when X driver moved to Y team” so that they know you are not just riding the wave and it can act as a conversation starter. Be as unhinged as possible. My best prompt was where I mentioned how I made a high school teacher cry; it led to interesting conversations.
-Think about what can be a funny story to tell when catching up with an old friend. -If you don’t have a personality, work towards building one. Just watching reels post-work is not going to cut it. Start reading books, watching good movies and shows, and try exploring your childhood interests.
Art of Conversation The most important rule: please stop thinking about them as a potential girlfriend or a hookup. -Try showcasing genuine interest in their profile, as you are interested in knowing more about them, their life, and their interests. Everyone loves to speak; you just have to give them the space to do so. Don’t be generic. For example, if the girl has Bollywood in her interests and all traditional pictures, it’s better to say, “Your outfit gives xyz actress from xyz movie vibes” than “You look pretty.” Also, try playing a fun game; ask them if you can guess their favorite Bollywood movie or song.
-Don’t let it be like a forced conversation. Ask random questions, and once the flow is there, you are good to go. When flirting, exaggerate and be desperate to make them feel like they are one of a kind. Saying “your cheeks look so red and blushy” is meh, but saying “Your face makes me feel as if I have seen the most beautiful rose blossom in this world” is much better.
By far the most common question I've seen from guys online is how to get matches.
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.
Always try to meet outside for the first date. Don't go for drive...
the purpose of dating apps is not to find you a partner, but to ensure you keep using it and pay for their products as long as possible
that's how they are engineered, intentionally.
why would they let their paying customers go away ?
