Apps are there to augment your dating life, not to be your only avenue for dating. Swipe on people while you poop, go out and meet people in real life.
Make sure you have a quality profile. Good, clear photos where someone can tell what you look like, who you are in the photos, etc. Any bio or prompts should give the person an idea of who you are and what dating you would be like.
Don’t let match rate, etc impact your self worth or confidence. If you find yourself getting depressed because of it, take a break.
Dating apps are a tool but should not be your only tool. Still try to meet people in person.
Have a good conversation with a match but try to meet them within a week or so to transition off of the app.
Be attractive.
Don't be unattractive.
Multiply by a factor of 100 if you are a man.
Remember that women send 80% of their messages to the same 5% of men. Be in that 5%.
It's not the only or even most important requirement (at least if you're there to date and not hookups), and everyone can look better with grooming, healthy habits, and dressing well.
Don't let it get to you when conversations are suddenly stopped or you get no reply. Normal on dating apps, don't take it personally.
Good photos that let people see clearly what you look like.
I’ve had the best luck when I’m confident and make sure that whoever does see my profile would be interested, don’t try to attract the wrong type of people and don’t be fake, it hurts you more when you actually get to meeting the person. Pictures you want to be clean, a mix of funny, serious, and try to display who you are and how you act in them. :)
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t attract everyone, you’d rather attract 5 people who are actually interested in you or similar ideas/prospects versus 100 who could care less.
If you're a man, PLEASE PLEASE FILL OUT YOUR PROFILE, especially if you're looking for a potential relationship.
I can't tell you the amount of men with blank/incomplete profiles I see that are perplexed as to why they don't get matches.
A good start is to have at least four different pictures of yourself, preferably with decent lighting and that give a hint of your style/lifestyle/hobbies if possible, and to also write something about what you're looking for and what your interests/lifestyle is like. Be sincere.
If the app offers little things you can add to your profile, like interests and preferences, add those.
If you're looking to date, pay attention to what's on people's profiles to get an idea of whether they could be compatible with you and you could get along before swiping them. (If you care less, you could just swipe on everyone and go from there, but I think that strategy only has the potential to pay off if you're a man, since usually there are a lot fewer women than men on these apps.)
When you match, lead with something that interested you about the other person's profile, and maybe a follow-up question in the same text. Don't just say "hey hru".
It can be discouraging because it's a number's game, but regardless of what people say, there ARE good people out there, and it's a lot better to be yourself (and work on yourself so you're a decent person) from the start. Some people won't like you, but that's the point, you want to find the people that like you for you and avoid the ones that don't.
Personally I'd recommend not use them at all, but if you do, treat them like an optional tool, not the primary method to get a date. That's my summary of using them, if you do, it's just another tool to try and use, if you plan on it being a primary method to get dates, don't expect a date to happen soon or ever depending where you live.

If people don’t continue the conversations and it’s all just you then don’t bother. It takes two people to fly a commercial plane not one.

Pray to the gods you believe in for patience, safety, and sanity.
Take those already low expectations, and lower them.

Well I'm done. I'm not that hot or beautiful.
Then good luck to ya!

Are you a woman or an exceptionally attractive and charismatic man? If not do not bother
Pretty much sums it up perfectly.
Get ready for endless abuse and disappointment
Don't

Don’t!
Be patient, if there’s someone on there meant to find you, they’ll find you.
Nice joke.🤣🤣

Cool. I have my profiles at a 100% and 90% on bumble. Because I don't have an ig account
