Start your online dating game on right foot with OkCupid
OkCupid Tells You How to Up Your Dating Game this New Year with These Simple Tips & Tricks
A new year means new resolutions and a new outlook towards life, which includes your love life. Like Oprah Winfrey said, “Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.” So this year, kickstart your dating game on the right foot.
OkCupid is aware of you’re a lot of substance than simply selfie and connects you with folks as individual as you're.
One of the foremost recognized geological dating apps within the world, OkCupid uses a machine learning-based algorithm to connect people based on deeper things, like beliefs and interests.
OkCupid lists 7 simple ways of upping your dating game this year, particularly if you’re looking for a meaningful relationship. So, get going, online and on dates.
1.
Update, Update, Update!
- An estimated 1 in 3 dating app users don’t update their dating app profile once they put it up - but if you add a new photo or a new story, most geological dating apps treat you with a brand new person and therefore the algorithmic program kicks into gear, showing you to MORE people.
2.
Upload a variety of photos (more than just selfies!)
- Share photos that show what makes you, you- whether that’s volunteering, running marathons or hanging out with friends.
- Here’s the secret -- you want to make it easy for that other person out there to reach out about the photo and say “I went to New Zealand last month too and loved it! Did you go to Wellington?”
- Photos that include animals are 3x more likely to get attention.
3.
Show don’t tell
- Instead of describing yourself with a long list of adjectives, talk about the things you love and enjoy doing. If you love dogs; show a picture with you and Fido in the park; if you're an adrenaline junkie, mention the time you went skydiving; if you’re funny to describe the time you created, everybody laughs along with your maid of honor toast.
- OkCupid’s essays are a perfect place to show potential matches these aspects of yourself.
4.
Answer questions
- The more OkCupid questions you answer, the more accurate your matches will be.
- Plus, you’ll learn a lot more about yourself and what you’re looking for in the process.
5.
Send a meaningful message to initiate conversation
- While it is true that women are 2.5x more likely to get a response than men if they initiate the conversation. Men shouldn’t lose heart.
Look at a prospective match’s profile and discuss one thing specific that you just like.
- Keep it around 140 characters and please don’t say “hey.” Try to engage on a specific photo or question, such as “Pizza is the best food out there.”
- And yes, saying “hey” in a first message is almost equivalent to saying nothing — this greeting has an 84% chance of being completely ignored.
6.
Put time and energy into it
- We hear from thousands of people -- “oh it’s so hard, I never find anyone!
” so once asked what quantity time and energy they place into it their profiles, it's 5 minutes a week!
Dating is FUN!
But don’t forget you get out of it what you place into it, so put some love into finding love.
- Many apps make your profile dormant if you don’t go on for more than two weeks, meaning they stop showing you people.
- Increase your likes by up to 3x when you log in every day.
7.
Get the timing right
- Sunday is the most successful day to plan dates for the week. Alexa, clear my calendar!
- 5 pm is the time of day most users are on.
