It actually doesn't matter that much at all how you look or what your profile says. This is the logic of the market applied to dating. You are explicitly commodifying your romantic life when you use these apps, and scarce commodities are valued higher.
Swipe left on 90% of the people, use your best photos and only your best (use facetune if you have to, I haven't but a lot of ppl do), and keep a sparse, ambiguous profile where folks can project what they want onto you. That's how relationships work anyway.
Voila, now everytime you log in you will be flooded to an annoying degree. Look forward to a lot of noise to get to the signal. Bad sex, bad dates, and so on are the norm. You'll occassionally also have a good time and meet rad folks, which makes the other headaches worthwhile.
This exactly.
