6 Tinder Photos PROVEN To Triple Your Matches
Swipe fatigue – it’s real and it’s brutal. But what if the secret to tripling your Tinder matches was as simple as updating your photo lineup? That’s right gents: Your profile picture could be what stands between you and a slew of potential matches ready to swipe right.
From our years of experimentation plus helping hundreds of guys in our Mastermind, we’ve learned the six types of photos that are like match magnets on dating apps. Whether you’re a seasoned swiper or new to the digital dating game, having at least a few of these pics will give your Tinder profile a serious edge. From the charm of pooch pics to the thrill of high-altitude snaps, we’re here to guide you through each photo type with tips on how to capture them – even if you don’t have a dog, a private jet, or a motorcycle parked outside.
Ready to transform your Tinder experience? Let’s snap to it and start with the most universally loved photo – you guessed it – a picture with man’s best friend.
1. The Dog Tinder Picture
Nothing beats the effortless charm of a dog photo. Despite the sea of pooch pics on Tinder, they continue to fetch matches like no other. Independent studies even support this, showing that dog photos significantly boost your dating profile’s appeal. Don’t own a dog? No worries! Visit a local dog park or borrow a furry friend from someone you know. (One of our PWF endorsed photographers regularly borrows Alex’s dog for photoshoots!) The key is to ensure both you and the dog look happy and relaxed – it’s all about that joyful, carefree vibe.
Check out the photos below – super high quality examples of guys not looking too posed:
2. The Airplane or Helicopter Dating App Photo
Elevate your profile with a shot that screams adventure and luxury – an airplane or helicopter photo.
You’re probably saying, “Yeah man, but I fly basic economy! Where am I getting an airplane from?”
Pro tip: You don’t need to own a private jet to pull this off. Gather a group of friends and split the cost of a helicopter tour, or find a local airfield where you can snap a picture with a parked plane. These photos convey a high-flyer lifestyle, making your profile stand out in a sea of ordinary.
Here are a few examples, including one from my own Tinder:
3. The Classic Suit Tinder Photo
Suit up and watch your Tinder stock rise.
Jokes aside, a sharp suit photo exudes confidence and class. If buying a suit is out of reach, consider renting one or even borrowing one for the photo shoot. The setting doesn’t need to be overly formal; a natural pose at a social event or even a candid shot while out on the town works wonders.
A few examples:
4. A Boat Tinder Picture
Show off a slice of the good life with a boat photo. Whether it’s a yacht or a simple rowboat, being on the water adds an element of fun and relaxation to your profile. Renting a boat for a day or joining a friend who owns one can provide the perfect backdrop for your photo. Dress appropriately for the setting to enhance the authenticity of your leisurely lifestyle.
5. A Shirtless Tinder Photo
If you’ve got it, flaunt it. (And if you don’t, don’t post shirtless photos!) But, there’s a catch… you should flaunt it only if “it” is a fit physique that looks natural in a shirtless setting. Shirtless photos for the sake of shirtless photos will turn off a good subset of girls.
So, the best shirtless photos are taken in contexts where it makes sense to have no shirt, like at the beach, near a pool, or after a workout. Ensure the photo doesn’t look posed; a candid shot where you’re genuinely enjoying the moment tends to be more appealing.
6. A Motorcycle Dating App Photo
Add a dash of danger with a motorcycle photo to tap into the bad-boy allure that many girls find irresistible.
Again, you might be saying, “Yeah, but I don’t own a motorcycle!” Well then borrow one or rent one for the shoot.
Opt for a modern sport bike to appeal to a broader audience on Tinder. And as always… don’t be posed! This is extra true for a motorcycle picture… you don’t want a girl looking at it and thinking, “Oh he just found this motorcycle to take a Tinder pic. What a tryhard!” So, ensure the photo looks natural, with you either gearing up for a ride or casually lounging on your bike.

Conclusion: You Don’t Need ‘Em All, But Pick 1 or 2
As you experiment with your Tinder profile, remember that while you don’t need to include every single type of photo mentioned, choosing one or two that best represent your personality and lifestyle can make a significant difference. Whether it’s the playful charm of a dog photo or the adventurous spirit of an airplane shot, selecting a few of these photos that best resonate with who you are will attract more matches.
Remember, your dating app photos matter most! Using them as an opportunity to showcase the best aspects of your life and interests will help you get more matches – and more dates. So grab that camera, choose your setting, and get ready to boost your match rate with just a few strategic snaps!
