Why are dating apps not working for me?
It's not you. It's the halibut you're holding. That's your problem on the apps. Welcome back to the How to Get a Girlfriend podcast. I'm your host, dating coach, Conal Barrett. I am here to help you flirt with confidence, get dates, and get a great girlfriend, all by being authentic. No sketchy, weird, toxic pickup artist moves needed. Not here. And let me ask you a question. I think I know the answer to this, but I'll ask you anyway. Are the dating apps just not working for you? They don't work for most guys, at least not very well. Chances are you swipe and you swipe and you swipe and you're really struggling to get good matches, good dates. If you're struggling with online dating, if you've got carpal tunnel because you swipe so much with no results, we wanna fix that. And it can lead to a lot of other problems, right? It can lead to anger, frustration, giving up on the apps. And worst case scenario, you end up moving to a monastery in Myanmar, becoming a monk, swearing off women, and just meditating on a mountain.
Hey, that's not going to work for most guys. Well, today's episode, I've got some really good tips for you. Today's episode, I want to give you six essential photos that pretty much every guy needs in order to get matches and dates on any dating platform. And most men, if you're struggling on the apps, it's because your photos just aren't good enough. It's not that you're not good enough.
What are the six essential photos for dating app success?
It's that your photos aren't making women feel the way we want them to feel. And that's simply about understanding that online dating isn't really dating. Not until you meet a woman or at least have a phone date with her. Online dating isn't dating. It's marketing. You're marketing a product. The product is you. The product is you as a great boyfriend. The product is you as a great guy. A guy with so much to offer, and I know you have so much to offer. So understand, if you would, that if you're struggling on the dating apps, the good news is it's not you. It's the fish photos you're showing women. It's not you. It's the halibut you're holding. That's your problem on the apps. And I've been a dating coach now for 13 years.
I've helped thousands of guys get literally tens and tens and tens of thousands of matches on the dating apps. And I want to help you have the same kind of results. So today's episode, I'm going to give you six essential photos that you need in order. In order. I'm going to tell you exactly what six photos to use. I'll tell you how to take the photos and what order to put them in. These are going to help you so much. I have a client named Ben. Ben did these six photos and he was literally getting like zero good matches a week. He was getting okay matches, but women he just wasn't attracted to. And he did these six photos and all of a sudden he was like, Connell, you're killing me. I'm so upset.
He's like, I got 83 matches this week, and I just don't have time to go on all these dates. And so I want you to have, that's called a first world problem. I want you to have first world problems like that. So here we go. Here are the six game changing photos that are going to really help you change the game for you on Tinder, on Bumble, on Hinge. And stick around to the very end. In about 15, 20 minutes at the end of today's episode, I'm going to give you the Five photos not to use on dating apps. The photos that are going to get you swiped left on. So stick around to the very end and I'll talk about those too. Okay, here we go. Game-changing photo number one. Essential photo number one is you want a portrait. What I call a radically authentic portrait.
You want your first photo to be a portrait of you that... makes a really good first impression, and that sucks a woman in and just makes her say, wow, this guy is well-dressed. And I would love to learn more about him. Most guys don't have good portraits. Most guys just have a couple selfies on their online dating profile. Or if they do have a portrait, if you do have a portrait, it might be a studio shot or it looks too much like a LinkedIn photo. And that first photo, the first essential photo, I call this a radically authentic photo. Here are the core components to it. Number one is you should be well-dressed. You should be dressed first date great. Number two is you should be looking at the camera.
