The most swiped man on Tinder gave his advice on how to make the most of the dating app.
It was revealed in 2017 that male model Stefan-Pierre Tomlin was the person with the most right swipes on the app, and now the hunky trained pilot has offered his top tips on how to achieve the most possible matches.
Stefan suggested using the app at 2 pm on a Sunday afternoon as, especially in the winter, most users aren’t up to much and have their phone to hand.
This is a peak time, he revealed to The Sun: “because everyone is so hungover, feeling a bit sorry for themselves and literally everyone is indoors on their phone – especially in the winter.
He’s also found that: “People are also trying to plan their week with dates in the future.”
Here are Mr. Tomlin’s best tips to bagging a date on Tinder:
1. Make sure your first photo has a brightly colored background – Stefan-Pierre says using yellow or blue in your profile picture will make your profile stand out against the countless others your matches are swiping through
2. Include a sexy holiday photo in your selection – poolside pics show off your fun, relaxed side according to our dating expert.
3. Ensure you’re doing something different in every one of your photos – forget posting loads of glam club shots, Tinder’s most fancied man claims sharing photos of you doing different activities and looking dressed up AND casual will guarantee the most success.
4. Be active on the app at 2 pm on Sunday – Mr. Tinder claims this is the peak time for the app as users are recovering from a big night out and planning dates for the week ahead.
5. Swipe for new matches after 10:30 pm on a weeknight – singletons on the app also regularly check the app before bed when they’re swiping through Instagram, Stefan-Pierre says.
6. Use the Facebook algorithm to get ahead – syncing your Facebook and Instagram profiles to your Tinder can help you match with people with similar interests based on what pages you’ve “liked” or accounts you follow.
7. Change your location using Tinder’s premium service – if you fancy bagging yourself a banker, Tinder Plus allows you to drop your location pin anywhere in the world – including Canary Wharf.
8. Crack a joke in your bio – it shows you don’t take yourself too seriously and makes you more approachable on the app, Stefan-Pierre says.
9. Don’t give away too much away – keep your bio “short and snappy” to give your potential match something to ask you about.
10. Avoid group photos in the first three pictures – this will help your match differentiate you from your mates in that uber-glam clubbing photo.
