Introduction

Raise your hand if this feels familiar: You’re lying in bed, swiping on Bumble, Tinder, Hinge, or another dating app. Your match counter is at zero, your likes are non-existent, and you’re left wondering why. You’re not alone—hundreds of thousands of online daters in India share your frustration. What if there were a way to change the game and improve those skewed odds? In this article, we will explore how to create dating app profiles that attract attention, and stand out from the 10,000 likes that women see on their profiles every day.

Studies suggest that the male-to-female ratio on these platforms can be as skewed as 90/1 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), making it particularly tough for men to stand out

So what is the problem? Some blame the system—believing that dating apps are rigged—while others attribute their lack of success to factors beyond their control, like height or appearance. These explanations are oversimplified. This isn’t to say that attributes like height, looks, and wealth don’t matter. We live in a superficial world, and for some, these attributes are important. However, there are also many who prioritize other qualities. So why aren’t these people matching with you, despite your interesting personality, caring nature, hobbies, or gym body? The problem boils down to two key issues: the supply and demand imbalance and a lack of effective self-presentation.

The Supply and Demand Problem
#

The issue of supply and demand is global across dating apps, but it’s particularly pronounced in India. Studies suggest that the male-to-female ratio on these platforms might be as skewed as 90/10. You don’t need a degree in mathematics to see how challenging these odds are for men. This skewness means:

  • Men face significant competition.
  • The sheer number of profiles means standing out is crucial for getting noticed.

Consequently, many men feel disheartened, believing there’s no way to increase their chances of getting matches. AmanAI addresses this imbalance by helping users write profiles that stand out, making them more attractive to potential matches. Read on to find out how this works, then try it out yourself, for free!

A lack of effective self-presentation
#

Adding to this challenge is a common shortcoming: many Indian men struggle with effectively marketing themselves. Think of the dating pool as a market—when supply far exceeds demand, standing out becomes crucial. This is something most of us men struggle with, and why wouldn’t we? We grew up in a society where we were never taught this art of self-presentation. Since we were 12, we were burdened with school, tuitions, and homework, leaving little room to learn how to market ourselves with written words. The consequence is a surplus of generic dating app profiles that fail to stand out among the 10,000 likes that women receive every day. With AmanAI’s profile review and prompt-writing features, you can highlight your qualities and interests in a unique manner, making your profile stand out in the sea of sameness.

The key to standing out: Opinions, not facts
#

Standing out in such a large pool of men can seem daunting. If you read, work out, travel, play the guitar, or engage in any other activity that you pride yourself on—there are thousands of others who do the same. So how do you stand out? The key is to write opinions, not just facts.

Crafting Engaging Prompts: Consider these examples of two men who love brewing their own coffee and are deeply into the art of brewing the perfect cup. Here’s how they responded to a prompt “If loving this is wrong, I don’t want to be right” on Hinge:

  • Man 1: brewing my own coffee.
  • Man 2: brewing my own coffee. There’s something zen about grinding beans and brewing the perfect cup. It’s like yoga but with more caffeine and fewer awkward poses.

Which response is more engaging? The second one presents a strong opinion about coffee, adds some flavor (pun unintended), and makes a sweet analogy that opens another opportunity for engagement (yoga). It’s easy to see why Man 2 would receive more matches and engagement than Man 1.

On a personal note, I dislike coffee brewing and find it pretentious. Instead of writing something generic like “Change my mind about: brewing coffee being pretentious,” I would write: “I probably shouldn’t admit this, but pretentious coffee brewing is like performing a Broadway show in your kitchen just to make water taste slightly better. Sorry, coffee snobs!”

Again, it is quite obvious which answer is better. The second response invites likes, matches, and engagement not just from those who dislike coffee, but also from coffee enthusiasts who enjoy a good-natured disagreement. The bad news: Not all of us can write and create compelling narratives with written words like the examples above.

Supercharging your entire dating profile

Once you’ve improved your profile prompts and bio, AmanAI’s comprehensive profile review can help further refine your profile. Many men don’t realize that dating apps offer multiple sections to showcase different facets of your personality. If you upload two gym photos, you’re already limiting your profile by presenting only one side of yourself. Adding “Gym” as an interest or writing a prompt like “After work, you can find me in the gym” further wastes valuable space by repeating the same point.

Choosing the right profile pictures is also crucial. Avoid repetitive poses or always wearing sunglasses. Variety and confidence are key-showcase different sides of your personality through diverse photos.

AmanAI’s comprehensive profile review service helps diversify your profile, making it more appealing and multi-dimensional.
