1. Use clear, recent, realistic photos
- One clear headshot, one full-body, and one "you doing something" (like hiking, cooking, or laughing with friends).
- Skip filters. Confidence beats perfection.
2. Write a profile that shows, not tells
Bad: “I’m funny and love to travel.”
Good: “Last trip? I got lost in Tokyo looking for ramen at midnight—and it was worth it.”
Keep it light, specific, and a little vulnerable. That makes people feel something.
3. Open strong. No “Hey.”
Start with something from their profile.Example: “You’re into jazz? Give me a starter album—I need converting.”
It shows effort, curiosity, and personality.
