what's going on guys and welcome to the Tiege Hanley channel my name is Dave and today we're
going to be talking about dating apps even before covet hit dating apps were huge things like tinder
bumble and hinge but now things are even bigger and there's a lot more competition from other
guys out there so if you want to get results and get dates you've got to avoid the same common
mistakes that most other guys make and that is what we're going to talk about today so let's
get into it number one you've got to stop using low quality photos let's be real bro photos are
the most important part of your dating profile and it's not even close however most guys have super
weak photos and they wonder why they don't get any matches bro your photos suck you got to improve
them so what exactly constitutes a low quality photo though well it comes down to a few different
things first is blurriness if you're taking a blurry photo in 2020 what are you doing bro use
your camera phone use another camera it's not that hard to get a sharp a sharp crisp photo in 2021
so make it happen group photos can be bad too it's okay to have maybe one you know as like your
third or fourth photo to show that you have a good social circle and you're a social guy but there's
no need for any more than that and it definitely shouldn't be your main photo she's not gonna
be able to tell who you are or which one of your friends you are and you're gonna lose out selfies
are terrible too every time i see guys posting their online dating profile for feedback
they always have selfies and i always have to say bro please cut out the selfies they're not gonna
work selfies make you look like you don't have any friends they make you look like your life is
boring and they have no place in your dating profile if you don't have anyone to help you
take photos go get a cheap tripod from amazon and just set up your camera on the tripod and set a
timer and use that to take your photos that is so much better than a selfie you want to avoid those
drunk photos as well you know those photos of you out the club party in maybe those are some group
photos too they don't look good in your profile and they're just a bad looking general and finally
you want to avoid photos where you've got a bunch of acne or breakout luckily you can avoid this in
general in your life by using a quality skin care routine like Tiege Hanley what i love about Tiege's
skincare routine is it makes it easy for you to keep your skin healthy clean and fresh and free
from breakouts their level one system comes with a daily face wash a twice a week exfoliating scrub
and an am and pm moisturizer so you can avoid breakouts and also avoid dry skin that way your
skin is looking nice and radiant anytime you want to take a picture and those girls they're going
to be swiping right but yeah you're going to want to take all those bad photos down and replace them
with the following types of photos first stylish photos of you with clothes that actually fit well
second photos of you next to a cool background over the cool background behind you maybe a pool
maybe the beach just keep in mind that the simpler the background the better because that's going to
make you stand out and pop you should also have photos of you doing something that you enjoy so
every time we're coaching guys we say hey what do you like to do you like to play football all
right get a photo of you throwing a football around get a photo of you going skiing when
you get photos doing things that you enjoy you show off those other aspects of your personality
they add some depth and girls are gonna want that so get these photos up in your profile
you're gonna be in great shape now moving on to number two don't use generic boring opening
messages most guys will send out something super generic like hey or how's it going and again
this just blends in with every other guy messaging her and it's not going to work you need to be
trying to stand out on these dating apps because remember you're competing against other guys so
the best thing to do is to put a little bit of thought into your messages and my favorite way
to do that is to just make a comment on one of her photos so let's say she has a photo at the
beach you can say hey that's a dope that's a dope beach photo you got be missing summer already
it doesn't have to be anything crazy we're not reinventing a wheel here you don't need to
unlock your heart with one message you're just trying to stand out a little bit and get a reply
that way you can move the conversation forward but yeah just by putting in a little bit of thought
and effort you're going to separate yourself from every jamock out there number three and bro this
might be the worst one of all stop over messaging i see a lot of guys exchanging days or even
weeks worth of messages with girls and i'm like bro what are you doing why are you investing all
this time into a girl that you don't even know that you haven't even met and that you don't even
know if you're gonna like in person it doesn't make any sense the whole point of online dating
is to go on dates in real life how do you do that well the best way to do it is to push
for the date early on in the conversation specifically there's no reason to exchange
more than four to five messages each before going for the date so around like eight to ten messages
total i show my students this and they're always shocked by how quickly and consistently it works
to get them dates because the girls are surprised too they're like wow this is a breath of fresh air
every other guy's sending me 30 messages this guy knows what he wants and he goes for it this
is a lot more efficient you're going to save time and you're not going to become her pen pal
plus the longer you wait to ask her out the more likely she's going to match with another guy he's
going to hop in he's going to ask her out first and she's going to stop responding so be quick be
intentional make this happen bro number four don't waste your time and spend hours a day on the app
listen i know it's easy to sit there swiping and messaging for hours every single day you
get caught in the loop of it you know it's a nice getting some validation some positive feedback
from girls it's fun but you don't need to do that after a while you're gonna have swipe through
every single possible match in your area for one and for the other you're gonna drive yourself
crazy you're going to be looking at your phone all the time it's going to kill your productivity
and you're not going to be able to focus and be present throughout your day it's going to make
you miserable matter of fact a 2017 study actually proved that men who use tinder more often had more
body image issues and more self-esteem issues than men who use it less so what should you do easy set
aside 20 to 30 minutes a day it could be after you're done with work it could be on your lunch
break whatever the case may be set aside that time to swipe and message girls and set up dates that's
all you need then put your phone down do other things and don't be focused on it this is going to
make you seem harder to get it's going to make you more efficient and more effective and it's just a
better strategy overall number five stop with the boring profile yes your pictures are by far the
most important thing in your dating profile but your bio is important too and a lot of guys have
really terrible bios they'll be out here trying to put their entire autobiography of their life out
there and the girls just don't care this isn't gonna help you get the girl it's not gonna have
her say oh where's the perfect match no all it's gonna do is scare her away and make you lose your
chances it's a lot better to be a little humorous and show some of your personality for example i
used to have things like i live life on the edge even if i was scared of fights or i always put
a comma before the last and in a sentence it's just something i believe in and these were fun
little things that girls would comment on you can also add a prompt question in your bio to
get girls responding and maybe even messaging you first so one problem i used to like to use is
vodka or tequila hint there's only one correct answer this is just fun it is playful anyway
bro go out there and make these changes it's going to make your dating app a million times
better you're going to get more matches and more dates now if you want to check out more of Tiege
