The beauty of Tinder Reddit (r/tinder) is tons of people can anonymously share their online dating woes and triumphs.

The downside is that there’s so much well-meaning advice on r/Tinder, it’s hard to know what are actual ProLifeTips and what’s “nice guy” bs.

It’s much easier to connect with your partner by thinking about how you feel about them than by thinking about the dating app. I feel happy and my confidence is higher when I spend time thinking If you want to go on virtual dates with strangers and use Facebook as a networking platform, Facebook Dating is the best place to do that. Raya is an exclusive dating app that requires a membership and also costs $7.99 a month. You cannot just JOIN Raya, you must know someone already using the app and be invited. Background: me, early 50s woman, single, into ENM. I have a few cub FWBs, some very casual, one or two are longer term and are actual friends. Currently need advice. I was recently diagnosed with a chronic health condition. I am on new meds, and will see a specialist next week. I will be fine and healthy with the meds and some lifestyle changes. Straight and same-sex couples. This is the dating app where women have to make the first.

How does a casual r/Tinder lurker parse all these opinions and actually glean some useful info?

We’ve put together some of the best dating advice on Tinder Reddit to guide you on your quest for Tinder success.

Tinder Reddit Tip #1: “Put your damn shirt back on.”

Truth bomb.

Just because you want to immediately see a woman topless doesn’t mean she feels the same way.

In fact, even if you’ve got a fine bod, most women will tend to think you’re compensating for something else (brains, usually) if you’re half naked in your dating pics.

Put even more aptly by u/appogiatura, “Shirtless bathroom selfies are tacky.”

Tinder Reddit Tip #2: “Literacy is super hot.”

“Do not initially contact me with: ‘hey,’ ‘what’s up,’ or ‘how r u.’ I don’t care if you’re the hottest, smartest, most successful man, I will not reply to a message that took the least amount of humanly effort possible.” –u/waverunnr

The bar is not high.

Even the smallest amount of creativity and effort can make a huge difference in getting responses to your Tinder openers.

Tinder Reddit Tip #3: “Don’t listen to that OKCupid article, smile more.”

PREACH. 🙌

We couldn’t agree more. In fact, we did a study that showed OKCupid’s premise resulted in some of the cringiest & grumpiest looking selfies attempting to replicate smoldering straight-faced models.

The easiest way for average guys to look max attractive and appealing to women is simply flashing your pearly whites.

Tinder Reddit Tip #4: “Your opening photo has to be a good one.”

Online Dating Apps

Your photos (especially the first one) make a huge difference in the way matches “hear” your messages.

In fact, you could say the same thing to the same person — just with a different main profile pic — and get a completely different reaction.
