A ‘Fake’ Facebook
Step 1
Before you login to your Tinder account, you need to create a fake Facebook. While
some men may have the perfect photos on their personal Facebook account, a
majority of men will benefit from creating a fake Facebook account strictly to use on
Tinder.
See Tinder does not provide men with many photo-editing options. All Tinder
allows you to do is select a photo from your Facebook and then center it. You barely
get any cropping options and certainly no filtering choices.
By creating a fake Facebook account, you allow yourself to tinker with your photos
until everything is just right. You can upload photos of yourself that may not be on
your personal Facebook. You can upload photos that you would not want on your
personal Facebook.
Your photos are your most important part of your Tinder profile and game. Creating
a fake Facebook account gives you the flexibility to ensure all your best photos end
up on your Tinder profile, not just the ones that happen to be on your personal
Facebook account.
Creating Your Fake Facebook
To create your fake Facebook account, go to Facebook and click the “Sign Up”
button. There are two things to note when creating your fake Facebook:
● First, you want to use your real first name and a fake last name.
● Second, you want to use an email for this Facebook account that you never
use or check. Make sure you are the only person with access to this account.
This email account will get blown up with notifications.
Once you have signed up for your fake Facebook and verified your email, you are
free to begin setting up your fake account.
The first thing you will want to do is go to the Tinder Seduction Facebook page
(https://www.facebook.com/pages/TinderSeduction/1416986031894452). This
page will help you add new “friends” to your fake Facebook.
*Do not add any photos of yourself until you have completed the next few
steps…
To use Tinder you must connect your Tinder profile with a Facebook account that
has at least 50 friends. Tinder has determined that if you have less than 50 friends
on Facebook you are a fake or you’re too much of a loser to use Tinder anyway.
So the first step in getting your fake Facebook up and running is to get 50 friends.
This is where the Tinder Seduction page above comes into play. While logged into
your fake Facebook account with zero photos posted, ‘Like” the Tinder Seduction
page.
Once you ‘Like’ the page, go to the section of the page where you can ‘Post’
comments. You should see numerous people posting there, asking people to add or
‘friend’ them. These people are all doing exactly what you are.
Quickly type something into the Posts/Comments section like, “Add for add!” Then
scroll through all the people who have posted in that section of the page in the last
few days. Open their profiles in new tabs and send them all friend requests.
After 12-24 hours, you should have at least 50 new ‘Friends’ on your fake Facebook.
Once you do, you are almost ready to add your photos.
But not yet…
Step 2
The “Facebook Liking Spree” Hack
Before you add photos, you are going to want to go on a “Liking” spree on your new
Facebook account.
We do this because girls use Tinder differently than guys do. With us it’s purely
physical, especially on Tinder. If we see a girl we would bang she get a ‘swipe right’
plain and simple.
Most of these girls actually read your profile and look through all your pictures.
Weird, I know. But you need to remember…
Tinder is a place where the comfort aspect of the game is almost wholly forgotten.
Thus, if a girl finds herself highly physically attracted to a man’s photos on Tinder
she may desire to know a bit more about him. She may want to feel comfortable
before she meets up with you.
This is certainly not every girl. Many women on Tinder are doing the exact same
thing as us guys. Still…
These girls who desire a certain amount of comfort, the same girls that read your
profile also check to see if you have any common “Interests” together. This is again
her way of creating comfort with you.
When she looks at your commonalities, the only “Interests” that are shown to her
are the commonalities you two have both ‘Liked’ on Facebook will. She has no ideas
about your interest outside of the commonalities you share.
Use this to your advantage!
Sometimes the difference between getting the ever-coveted ‘Swipe Right’ and
getting the axe is your commonalities. Comfort game for the win!
Now this is rare due to the superficiality of Tinder, but it does happen. This doesn’t
mean you go around “Liking” every single thing you see on Facebook. No, there is a
strategy to this…
When you go on your ‘Liking’ spree on your fake Facebook, think of the random
things hot girls ‘Like’ on Facebook and in real life. Then begin ‘liking’ these same
types of things.
The only things you want to avoid ‘Liking’ are things that may cause a girl to
question if you’re a closeted homosexual.
Sports, sporting teams, musicians, movies, animals (dogs!), foods, etc. are all great
things to like, especially anything that is local.
Next, begin ‘Liking’ any and every restaurant, bar, and coffee shop within 5-10
minutes of your place. This is the most important part because you can easily
transition into setting up a date near your place if she also “Likes” one of these
places.
Then, ‘Like’ all of your favorite bars and clubs in your city.
Next, ‘Like’ every single place you have ever travelled. Finally, ‘Like’ anywhere in the
world you would like to travel.
This should set you up to have some type of commonalities with a majority of
women on Tinder. While not a huge deal, it’s the little things that count.
Before you upload any photos to your fake Facebook account, you need to educate
yourself on selecting the best photos for your Tinder profile…
Step 3
The Most Important Part
On Tinder, your photos are by far the single most important aspect of your profile. If
you do not have compelling photos you will get zero attractive matches.
Now I am not going to sit here and tell you there is an exact method and order to
selecting your photos on Tinder. There is not. You’re most attractive photo will
probably be a completely different style of photo compared to my most attractive
photo.
While there is no single formula for determining the perfect Tinder photo, there are
a few guidelines. The best photos for your Tinder profile communicate the following
to girls:
● In Shape/Athletic
● Fun loving / Social Man
● Cleans Up Well
At this point you should have some type of understanding of the importance of using
your best photos on Tinder. And while your photos are the most important part of
your profile, they are trumped by one thing on Tinder…
Lust At First Sight
While all the combination of all your photos on Tinder is the most important aspect
of Tinder ‘game’, your initial profile picture is the absolutely vital to getting any
matches.
When a girl initially sees your Tinder profile the only thing see will see is your first
picture. If she is not physically attracted to your first picture or at least intrigued,
she will not even look at your other photos, much less ‘swipe right’ on you.
Women experience ‘lust at first sight’ just like we do. If she is not physically
attracted your first picture, you will not get what you want from her. Thus, the first
and most important hurdle in the Tinder game is your first picture.
Selecting Your First Picture
There are no absolute guidelines when selecting the first photo for your Tinder
profile. This is because the absolute best first impression of you through a
photograph will be completely unique to you. Your style, swagger, physique,
posture, surroundings, and much more determine if you look great in a photograph
or if it is a dud. There is no best answer here…
What I can do is give you a few minor guidelines, then show you examples of some
of the best photo types to use on Tinder.
First, when selecting your first picture for Tinder you want to make sure the photo
is only of you. You can do this by selecting a photo of yourself where you are alone
or by cropping a photo. Never use a group photo as your first picture!
Bonus points if you crop a hot girl out of the picture, but you can still kind of tell she
is attractive because you keep a tiny sliver of her in the shot.
Your first picture should be from the waist or shoulders up. You should not show
your full body from head-to-toe in your first picture on Tinder. As well, you first
picture should a high quality photo, but should not look like a professional
photographer staged it.
You may have a photo in mind to use as your first picture on Tinder already. You
may be looking for a bit more specific advice…
Either way, below will help to clarify some of the best types of pictures to use on
Tinder.
How To Select Which Photos To Use On Tinder
Meeting single women on Tinder can take a little skill, but it is not
complicated. With little to no introduction, a women will decide whether a man is
worth her time or not, and your photos are the single biggest indicator of what she
chooses. At the end of the day, your pictures will be doing the legwork for you.
Two more keys with your photos:
● You need a minimum of three photos on your profile. I’ve found the sweet
spot to be 3-5 photos on your profile. I’ve occasionally had 6 photos on my
Tinder profile.
● Also, make sure to diversify your funds. Don’t have three of the same photo
types. One face selfie is great. Five of them makes you look like a narcissist
with no friends. Just make sure to have a few different types of photos.
Examples Of The Best Types Of Photos To Use On Tinder
The Selfie:
Yes I said it, a selfie. Specifically, a selfie that shows off your face. Tinder is a dating
app where people choose if they are attracted to you strictly through your photos.
Women are typically rank facial features as the number one physical trait they are
attracted to in a man. Thus, women want to see what you face looks like right off the
bat. One of the best ways to do that is with a selfie.
No matter how anti-selfie you are, you probably have one where you look good.
Don’t be afraid to throw it on Tinder.
A selfie that highlights your facial features can be a great first picture for men on
Tinder.
The Man’s Best Friend:
A photo with a cute puppy may be the absolute best picture to use on Tinder. While I
have accepted this as fact, it makes absolutely no sense to me. Which makes sense,
as these hoes make no sense…but a picture with a dog is a huge hit on Tinder.
Seriously, these girls love puppies.
*If you have a decent picture with a puppy, use it. As well, if you facial features look
good in this photo with a puppy then this would be the best photo for your first picture.
The “This Is What I Do” Photo:
It’s never bad to throw a picture of you doing what you love to do on your profile. If
you have a picture of you doing a favorite hobby or activity, throw it in your profile.
Well, unless you love to run marathons or play videos games. Don’t put a picture of
you running a marathon or playing video games, they are like anti-poon.
The best types of photos featuring you doing something you love to do are typically
athletic. These could be a photo of you surfing, playing basketball, lifting weights,
etc.
These photos are also a great way to show off your physique. If you have six-pack
abs or are jacked, use a photo that shows off your body while you are doing
something. Straight flexing mirror selfies are not a big hit on Tinder.
A photo that shows off your physique (if you are in good shape) while doing
something can be a great first picture on Tinder if your facial features are also
prominent.
The Smiler:
Yeah, dating is supposed to be fun. Weird, right? So show some emotion in your
pictures, these are not prison photos!
Smile and look genuinely happy in at least a few of your pictures. What kind of girl
wants to get to know, let alone date a guy that looks depressed or emotionless?
Please keep in mind: a smile or looking happy does not mean duck faces, these sorts
of faces make men look immature and ridiculous.
While a smiling photo or two are great, I would personally avoid them for your
profile picture unless your physique looks incredible in the photo or you just have a
great fucking smile.
The Outdoorsman:
Another great photo option for men on Tinder is to use a photo that features you in
the outdoors. Women love to date men with a sense of adventure. Women love men
who enjoy and appreciate the great outdoors.
This could be a photo of you fishing, surfing, hiking, on the beach, at the lake, etc.
There are thousands of different ways to enjoy the great outdoors. You can also use
an outdoorsy photo to show off your physique.
One key ‘don’t’ with an outdoor photo is to never have a gun, an animal you killed, or
a fish you caught in your hand. All these photo types are played out on Tinder.
The Suit:
This is where the “cleans up well” guideline comes into play. If you have a picture in
a suit, use it.
Chicks dig suits! Just make sure the suit is well fitting and stylish. Chicks love a man
in suit, but not if the suit is hideous and/or does not fit you well.
A photo of you dressed up in a blazer or a vest can work just as well on Tinder. The
goal of the photo is to show your sophisticated side, all the while telling her you look
great when dressed to the nines.
Suit pictures can be good as your first picture on Tinder. While a ‘suit’ picture is not
my favorite first picture on Tinder, some men only look their absolute best in a suit.
This all comes down to you.
Final Thoughts On Photos
Some men are at their peak in a suit, while other men look better with their shirt off
on a surfboard. Some men have a perfect smile (shit-eating grins drive the ladies
wild), while other men look better gazing off into the distance giving off a
mysterious vibe.
The best photo of you for your Tinder first picture comes down to you!
One key to remember: it is a lot harder to choose a “best” photo of yourself, then to
pick the best photo of someone else. If you struggle picking the best photo of
yourself, ask an honest friend (maybe a girl, depending if you trust her judgment)
and see what him or her thinks about your photo selections.
Step 4
Once You’ve Selected Your Photos
After reading the previous chapter, you should have an understanding of what
photos you should use on Tinder.
Log in to your fake Facebook account on your computer and upload final versions of
the 3-6 photos you have selected for your Tinder profile. Make sure these photos are
cropped and edited exactly how you want them to be.
Once you have the photos uploaded, keep them public for a few minutes. Quickly
open your Tinder app and sign into Tinder with your fake Facebook account login
information.
Once logged in to the Tinder app, head over to the edit your profile area. Select the
3-6 photos you placed on your fake Facebook.
Arrange the photos as you see fit. Then scroll through them after you exit out of
‘edit’ mode on Tinder. Make sure you like the flow of your photo choices.
Now head back to your computer and move your photos you uploaded on your fake
Facebook account to private. Double check to make sure nothing shows up on your
fake Facebook wall or in your ‘Newsfeed’. We want to remain as anonymous as
possible.
Head back to the Tinder app on your phone, you photos should still be displaying
normally. Once the photos are on Tinder, the app does not continue to verify your
photos are public.
If you try to edit these photos, you will find your photos do not show up in the
Tinder app anymore, as they are private on your fake Facebook account.
Congrats! Your photos are all set up now.
Step 5
How To Write Your Tinder Bio
Some men consider the Tinder “About” section or bio to be optional. Some men fill
this section out, while some do not. Unless you look like a male model, you need to
fill out your “About” section.
While photos are certainly the most important part of your Tinder profile, if a girl is
on the fence about your photos, the “About” section or bio can get you over the
hump.
The key to the “About” section is to come off as normal, whilst not boring. Humor is
a plus as well, as long as you avoid coming off as a creeper.
The “About” should be short, but give a brief and entertaining description of your
life. Discussion of where you work/go to school, your goals, and your hobbies are
fine. The “About” section is important for men who have gotten their Tinder pictures
up to par and are still finding it difficult to attract more and get matches.
Many men just do not know how to start an “About” and end up turning women off
instead of turning them on.
Below are a few guidelines and examples to help you create the best “About” section
you can.
The Good News
If a girl takes the time to read your, “About” section, then she is intrigued by you in
some manner. She may already be enthralled by your photo and is reading your
“About” to make sure you’re a normal guy. Or she may be on the fence about
whether or not she finds you attractive.
The Goal Of The “About” Section
The only reason you fill out your “About” section is to get more matches, more
replies to your messages, and more girls messaging you first. The only other benefit
your “About” section can lend you is fodder when engaging in messaging
conversations with girls.
The best way to accomplish our goals using the “About” section is by creating a
funny fact about yourself.
Learning By Example
Instead of elaborating too much on the “About” section, I am going to give you a
brief ‘how-to’ on and then different examples of each aspect of your profile.
Good examples of a brief synapse of who you are, examples of funny facts, and then
examples of full “About” sections.
*One item to note is your “About” section should be short, sweet, and to the point. You
should never, ever use over 200 words in your “About” section. Fewer than 50 words is
preferable, but I know some of you creative fuckers are long winded.
How To Write a Brief Synapse of Who You Are

Keep It Simple:
These chicks just want to see a bit of normalcy and humor in your profile. Nothing
crazy is needed. Simply put a bit about yourself. Avoid anything too quirky or corny.
Quotes are also a big no-no unless done properly.

Displaying Stability:
Enjoying alcohol or partying is fine, but writing about liking to party and your
drinking habits is lame. Most women desire a man who is not only stable, but also
somewhat interesting. Nothing says I’m a fucking loser like your only hobby being
drinking on the weekends. Men can write about their job or where they go to school,
but only with brevity.

Discuss Hobbies and Interests
You do not need to be too descriptive in your Tinder bio. There is nothing wrong
about being a huge fan of the sushi place down the street, but chances are most
women will have no clue where that is. Be broad when writing your profile.
Instead of writing about that specific sushi place, a man could write about his
affinity for sushi everywhere. This is much broader and chances are more women
will be able to relate to loving sushi than loving one specific restaurant.
A simple to get this point across is, “Sushi addict” or “Sushi is my favorite food
group”
Examples Of “About” Section Synapses
Here are a few examples to clarify things for you:
“- London based, 6’2″, former professional athlete.
- Swedish. In Chicago for the weekend”
“Former pro MMA fighter in both Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Thai-Boxing. Just recently
moved to NYC.”
“6’5” Something like an athletic accountant with a slight alcohol problem.”
“Collector of moments, not things. Lover of adventure, sushi, and wine.”
“Manhattan, Med School, Dog Lover.”
“- New York based graphic designer
- Surfing and traveling addict”
“Graphic designer. Yoga enthusiast. Sushi is my favorite food group.”
“The least flexible guy in the yoga studio, but my downward dog is top notch.”
A few things to take note of with the examples: if you are above 6’2” it behooves you
to list your height. Telling girls about your athletic prowess in a non-douche way is
beneficial. Briefly describing your job is also good. Talk of relocation or travel sparks
a girl’s curiosity.
There are very little blocks of text here. Periods. Commas. Dashes. Break things up
for these girls. They do not want to read a full paragraph.
Using these examples as guidelines, any man should be able to come up with a brief
synapses that attractively portrays who he is.
*If you are struggling to write about yourself, right when you wake up in the morning
spend 15 minutes writing about yourself. You can write in a serious manner, a funny
manner, whatever. Do this for a week. The compile what you have written and see if
you can select a sentence or two for your profile. You’ll find you’re the most creative
right when you wake up in the mornings. Brain fog is beneficial.
These synapses of a man’s life can be all you need in your Tinder “About” section.
However, you can increase the response rate to your messages and the percentage
of girls who message you first by using the methods below.
Throwing a Funny Fact In Your Bio
Throwing a funny fact in your profile is a great way to get more matches, more
responses, and more girls messaging you first. The key to using funny facts in your
profile is to avoid coming off like a creeper.
Instead of lecturing you on the in’s and out’s of funny fact “game”, I am just going to
show you some examples:
“Professional pillow fighter.”
“Ranked 5th in the world for thumb wrestling.”
“Shakira told me my hips don’t lie.”
“Runner-up at the world championship of snuggling.”
“Naked & Afraid occasionally constitutes as foreplay for me.”
“I’m a virgin.”
“World champion of warm smiles.”
“I typically Tinder on the toilet.”
These funny facts are supposed to be humorous and kind of weird. The best
topics/activities to use are: pillow fighting, thumb wrestling, snuggling, and petting
dogs. When coming up with your own, think along those lines.
Do not sexualize these any more than they already are. Anything past this level of
“sexualization” will come off as creepy in your profile.
As well, the best way to start these is by either stating you are a professional or
ranked. Examples:
-
Professional thumb wrestler.
-
Professional dog petter.
-
Professional snuggler.
Or…
-
Ranked 7 in the world for dog petting.
-
Ranked 3rd in the world for pillow fighting.
By inserting a funny fact into your profile, you make girls laugh while giving them
something to talk about. Whether it be in the conversation you have or when she
messages you out of the blue because you’re such a stud muffin!
Completed Tinder “About” Sections
When you put the two aspects of your Tinder profile together, your “About” section
is completed. Here are a few examples of great completed “About” sections. Make
sure to keep the punctuation and spacing the same, minus the quotes:

“Manhattan, Med School, Dog Lover.
Ranked 4th in the world for thumb wrestling.”

“Collector of moments, not things. Lover of adventure, sushi, and wine.
Professional pillow fighter.”

“Former pro MMA fighter in both Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Thai-Boxing. Just
recently moved to LA.
Shakira told me my hips don’t lie.”
The above examples all make for great Tinder “About” sections. You give the girl a
glimpse of what you are about combined with something that may make her laugh
or cause her to message you first.
Make sure to avoid copying anything in this chapter. Take bits and pieces of the
examples, but focusing on creating your own “About” section. Something that is
congruent with who you are as a person.
