Let's not call it the friend zone. Let's call it the Tinder tundra or the hinge hinterland, the bumble Bermuda triangle, coffee meets no one, and the bagel dies a lonely incel. Welcome back to the How to Get a Girlfriend podcast. I am your host, dating coach, Connell Barrett.
I am the bestselling author of Dating Sucks But You Don't, and I am your podcast dating coach, here to help you flirt with confidence, get more dates, and get a great girlfriend, and do this by being authentic. No sketchy pickup artist moves needed here. This is about dating with integrity and authenticity, because women like you for you.
And if you're like most guys, you swipe and you swipe and you rarely get good matches and good leads on the dating platforms. And after a while, that can start to feel personal. It can feel like women just don't like you. And it can feel like the dating apps are just conspiring against you. It's a scam. The apps are all a scam. And I know what that's like. I really do.
I used to have my own online dating struggles. And the reason I can solve pretty much any online dating problem, such as not getting matches, is because I dealt with it myself. I had every problem. I had every dating problem in the book. And now I first fixed it in myself. And now I help my clients fix their issues. And the biggest issue on the dating apps is just not getting good matches.
If you don't get good matches coming in on Hinge, on Bumble, on Tinder, then you're not going to get dates. And it's going to be a waste of time and a waste of money. So here's why you're struggling on the apps. It's not you. It's not your looks. And it's not this idea that the apps just don't work. It's your profile. your profile is not good enough.
What that means is you're missing several of what I call the 12 essentials of an irresistible dating profile. There are 12 core essentials that pretty much all or most need to be there for you to get maximum number of good matches. Once I dialed in all 12 of these essentials, I started getting tons of really good matches. My clients and I have literally gotten thousands of matches.
And we've been on hundreds and hundreds of dates combined. Actually, I've been on hundreds and hundreds of first dates. And so have my clients. And actually, I met my girlfriend, my soulmate, Jessamyn. I met her on a dating app. So yes, the dating apps can and do work, and they can work for you. You just have to do it the right way.
And so this is part two of a four-part series I'm doing here on the podcast. And I'm going to walk you through in detail the first six of the 12 essentials. I'm going to give you the foundation of an online dating profile that converts. And by the way, if you missed part one, feel free to go back and check out the last episode where I give you the full 12-point checklist of all 12 essentials.
It's just a good, quick CliffsNotes version of these 12 things. It's a great way to troubleshoot your profile. What you might want to do is go back and listen to part one and say, oh, wow, I'm missing four, five, six of these 12 essentials. And then you're going to know what to work on.
