Your action plan to get more hinge likes

1. Learn how dating app algorithms work through the Tinder/Hinge blueprint

2. Optimize your profile using the workflow presented [using apps such as lightroom and Faceapp].

3. Rewrite your bio using the C.V.H system [Contrast, Value, Humour]

4. Take a break from the app for a minimum of 3 days.

5. Write to all your current matches openers using the S.E.M.C system [Stimulate, engage, momentum, close], and do not like any new profiles.

Key Takeaways

• If you’ve failed to initiate positive conversations, through effective openers the Hinge algorithm will decrease your visibility [low interaction score]

• If you’ve spent too much time on the app, Hinges AI steps in with the sole purpose of getting you to spend money. Don’t expect getting likes until you do, OR take a break from the app.

• The algorithm “test” your profile by showing it to who it believes to be people that match your preferences. If these people swipe no on your profile, you’ll eventually move down a tier on the “visibility-ladder”. The only real way to reverse this is to learn visual attracion.

Perfecting Your Online Dating Profile

High-Quality Photos

• Variety is Key: Use a mix of hinge photos showing different aspects of your life—social settings, hobbies, solo shots, and most importantly, your Attractive traits. This is the single most powerful action you can take to increase visibility.[1]

• Clarity and Quality: Ensure your photos are clear, well-lit, and high resolution.

• Showcase Your Life: Include a few photos that highlight your interests and travel experiences to make your profile stand out.

• Avoid Group Photos: Avoid using group photos as they can make it difficult for others to identify you.

• Presentation: Always edit your photos using Lightroom and Faceapp.

Engaging Prompts

• Use the C.V.H-system.

  • Contrasting: Reflect on any negative assumptions that could be made about your profile. Contrast this in your prompts. If you come off as self-absorbed, showcase self-distance and humour in your first prompt.

  • Value: Add value to your profile by revealing an attractive skill or activity of yours. Women love to make up stories in their mind. Maybe you make a killer “Beef Chili”?

  • Humour: The prompts on Hinge are meant to be lighthearted and never serious. You therefore need at least one prompt dedicated to being funny. [Ideally all three are fun to read]

• Avoid negativity at all times and highlight your passions, passions are attractive [2]

• Include conversation-starters or CTA:s if possible, this invites people to initiate contact with you resulting in better visibility. [3]

Active Engagement on Dating Apps

1. Regular Activity

   • Check the App Frequently: Regular activity on the app, like other popular dating apps, tells the algorithm you’re an active user.

   • Like and Comment: Engage with other profiles by liking photos and commenting on prompts to increase your chances of getting more hinge matches. Meaningful interactions get noticed.

2. Optimize Your Preferences

   • Realistic Preferences: Make sure your match preferences (age range, distance etc) are set realistically to expand your match pool.

   • Update Regularly: Regularly review and update your preferences to keep them in line with what you’re looking for.

Profile Boost

1. Consider a Boost

   • Use the Boost Feature: This feature, common in many dating apps, temporarily makes your profile visible to more users and can increase likes.

2. Be Patient

   • Algorithm Learning Phase: Remember it may take a few days for the algorithm to fully understand your preferences and start showing your profile to compatible users.

Additional Tips

1. Profile Completeness

   • Complete All Sections: Make sure every section of your profile is filled out, as complete profiles tend to perform better.

2. Be Yourself

   • Authenticity wins: Authentic profiles get genuine interest. Be yourself and let your true self shine through your prompts and photos.

   • Choose prompts that let you talk about your hobbies, values and unique traits, especially any interesting hobby you have.

   • Being open about your values and what you’re looking for in a relationship, including aspects of your sex life, makes your profile more attractive.

Troubleshooting Common Issues on Dating Apps

If you’re still not getting likes after this, it might be worth reviewing and tweaking your profile or even trying other dating sites.

Ask a friend for feedback or compare your profile to successful matches to see what you’re missing, like not having a group photo and to get more matches.

Summary: no likes on hinge

If you receive no likes on Hinge on the first day, enhance your profile with a mix of high-quality photos that showcase your attractive traits and engaging specific prompts. Regularly engage with the app, liking and commenting on other profiles, and ensure your match preferences are realistic. Give the algorithm time to learn your preferences.
