Tinder Profile Pic Tips

If the only good photo you have is of you cuddling with another guy — even if it's just a friend — it might be worth taking a few new selfies.

We can't help but be intrigued by this woman's tactic: a yummy food photo plus the tagline "I eat carbs."

The accordion might be a better hobby to introduce on the fourth or fifth date. And look like you wanna be here, would ya?

Don't try to look like a supermodel. This Tinderer's natural makeup and cute dress give off a girlie but laid-back vibe.

Everyone is over the duck face: men, women, your mom, the Internet . . . Ditch the Olsen twin look, and just be yourself.

You can't go wrong with natural light and natural makeup, and the earbuds are a nice touch.

No one wants to play private investigator just to figure out which one is Lana. Even if you have a few group photos, make sure your profile pic is just you.

Maybe you have baby fever. Maybe you have a baby. Or maybe you just love babies. But really, no one wants to think about babies right now.

See previous slide: babies and hookup apps don't mix. Childhood photos are cute for #tbt, but on a dating site, it's a little creepy.

Maybe she's in an open relationship. Maybe she's divorced. Either way, posting a photo from your wedding is a little much.

I just don't even know what to say about this.

It is possible to look sexy while also being subtle. This is not one of those times.

See previous slide, re: sexiness. You can look sexy and even pose in bed while keeping it classy.

Costumes are tough to pull off on Tinder, especially clown costumes. A lot of people are really scared of clowns, not to mention three clowns.

I respect that, but since Tinder is all about snap judgments, I don't think the mustaches are doing her any favors.

Props to this woman for forgoing purely sexy costumes for a scary one . . . but scaring people off isn't the goal.

As deep as a puddle? I guess this photo tells us that Ashley can take a cool pic, but this isn't a personality contest.

Unlike the accordion girl, this woman looks sophisticated and chic yet laid-back, like you could bring her as a date to a party and she'd get along just fine.

While her zombie makeup is impressive, it's not exactly the way to woo the dates.

Men, women, everyone on Tinder: just put down the gun for a minute.

Please, step away from the Instagram filters! Better to look like a human than an alien.
