Your profession and college are more important than your bio. Be creative when listing them.Understand colour psychology.
Light backgrounds indicate wealth. Dark tones suggest poverty. Red represents anger, green wealth and blue business.
Control emotional expression. Avoid overly happy or too passive expressions. A balanced approach works best.
Know your real competition. You’re not competing with the best-looking people but those who look just as good as you.Underplay yourself.
Instead of trying to appear as a good person, aim for subtle self-presentation.Don’t use boosts. He advised against using paid boosts to increase visibility.
Move quickly to dates. Instead of fixating on matches, focus on interactions. Use your bio to encourage conversations where potential matches ask you out.
