Why You’re Not Getting Matches (Dating App Diagnostics)
If you are getting zero or low-quality matches, the apps are not the only problem. Your profile is sending the wrong signals. Fix the leaks.
Dating apps are a feedback loop. If women swipe left, your profile gets shown less. That is why “no matches” usually means your profile looks low-signal or confusing.
1. Your Photos Are the #1 Leak
Bad photos are the fastest way to get buried. Most guys fail on these:
- Weak lead photo (selfie, group shot, dark lighting).
- Too many selfies or random memes.
- No clear full-body photo.
- No social proof or lifestyle signal.
Run the Tinder Photo Score tool to see your biggest photo leaks fast.
2. Your Bio Is Either Generic or Needy
A “nice guy CV” bio gets ignored. A meme dump gets ignored. Your bio needs a clear frame: who you are, how you live, and what you are looking for.
Use the Dating App Bio Score to get a quick diagnostic and fix list.
3. Your Prompts Give No Reply Angle
Hinge prompts fail because they are either too long or too vague. The best prompts give her an easy reply angle (question, challenge, or standard).
Use the Hinge Prompt Rewriter to fix this in under a minute.
4. Your Swiping Behavior Is Killing You
If you swipe right on everyone, you look desperate. If you never reply, you train the algorithm to bury you. Match quality is part profile, part behavior.
- Stop swiping on everyone. Be selective.
- Respond quickly to good matches.
- Fix your profile before spending on boosts.
