Most guys underestimate how much their photos matter on dating apps. It’s not just about looking “good”: it’s about presenting a story, a vibe, and a personality that women find irresistible.
Here's a step-by-step tutorial on what it means to take photos for the female gaze versus male gaze, how to learn how to pose, and how to get the masculine look that encourages to think about you as a person and therefore swipe on you:
1. Use Scenic Backdrops
A Hinge study found that travel photos increase likes by 30%, but only 3.4% of men include them. Women want to see you in interesting environments that showcase your lifestyle.
Pro Tip: Find a location that stands out—a rooftop, a botanical garden, or even a well-lit street. Your photos should make women curious about your life.
2. Master Your Pose
Awkward, stiff poses are an instant turn-off. Learn how to stand confidently and use subtle tricks to highlight your best features.
Pro Tip: Push your chin forward to define your jawline. Practice “action poses” like adjusting your jacket or leaning casually against a wall. These small changes make a huge difference.
3. Capture Authentic Emotion
Women swipe right on photos that feel genuine. If all your photos have a deadpan or overly serious look, it’s not going to work.
Pro Tip: Experiment with a variety of expressions: smiling with teeth, a mysterious smirk, or even a brooding look away from the camera. Authenticity is key.
4. Get Professional Help
Go beyond just using a a skilled photographer. Find someone who can edit by highlighting your masculine energy and make your photos pop without looking overly fake or catfishy.
Pro Tip: Invest in a professional shoot and editing. Photographers know how to work with lighting, composition, and editing to make you look your best while keeping it natural.
This resulted in a bunch of my clients going from zero matches, to 50, even a 100 match. So now many of them average 2 to 4 dates with women per week. One student, obviously an outlier but one who worked hard on it, got 600 matches!
Or you can watch the video I made that goes into both much more detail AND gives examples of both good photos and how to pose and get said photos.
