Ultimate AI Guide for Online Dating

[Heisenberg]

Edit: Hi guys, I decided to leave the forum for a bit.
I'm spending too much time in front of screens and having these online discussion is a distraction for me.

[Holden]

I'm wearing a red suit jacket in my (new) main profile picture and before that I wore a red bomber jacket in my main picture. Can confirm they vastly outperformed my last main pic, which was the classic black leather jacket pic.

Gotta admit it feels dystopian as fuck to use AI images but I also believe that all is fair in love and war and if they lead to actionable insights, that's a good thing.

I've thought about "use the first pic to grab attention" not necessarily to look hot before, based on marketing principles that never disappoint if you apply them to girls.

Like the little envelope is interesting as fuck, it gives that version of a pic a reason for a girl to stay 0.5 sec longer on your profile, probably leading to more matches.

Are you using midjourney+inswapper?

Interesting post. I've experimented a little with AI for dating and other purposes. When it comes to photos, in my experience quite a lot of girls do know they are not real. I got several comments each time saying its AI or that something is weird about the photo. It also matched up with me getting less matches than with my normal photos. That is despite the AI photos looking incredibly realistic (imo) and being of the highest quality in terms of what i am wearing, location etc.

Maybe in the future when AI photo generation becomes even better it will be more workable but for now normal high quality pics were still absolutely superior in my experience.

Hey Max, glad to see you again ( although here)

I used AI back in Jan with @Paw and got me shadow-banned right away. My fear is that Tinder will train their Ai to detect other AI before it gets mass diffusion

Extremely interesting but makes me a bit concerned for the future of online dating. Especially the shirtless one lol, has does that play out in person?

It feels dystopian, but I consider it just another way of optimizing the profile. This will be the new normal. What's the conceptual difference between this and staged photos with a professional photographer or instagram beauty filters?
Tinder is a competitive marketing funnel and the rewards go to those who innovate and apply effective strategies.
Everybody who is on the "Use shitty photos to show your real self"- train can enjoy their ethical high-ground while not having sex.

The difference is that one is actually you, and one isn't. One exists in the physical reality, one doesn't. I choose not to live in the Metaverse for a reason.

You're not optimizing your profile, you're faking a lifestyle and looks that you don't have (notice how even your face is more attractive in the AI-generated photos than your real ones?)

Enjoy the rewards all you want if you don't have any moral qualms about it, but in my view, what you are doing is ethically ruinous and promotes a race to the bottom (and I have been consistent about this on KYIL since guys started FaceApping their photos on here).

Don't even get me started on KYIL guys who put Faceapped or AI profile photos that only other guys will see.

2. Red = Matches

Totally correct, red just doesn’t suit any skintone. So if it doesn’t, you should try to get an element of red in.

I tried a huge bunch of pictures of me as James Bond and in many different settings like medieval, steampunk, godfather, alien, etc. None of them produced good results. I think

Those are horrible ideas of funny pics. I have one with an alpaca kissing me and it performs amazing

and gets me about 1 match per day when I do nothing and about 15 matches for a boost during peak hours, which is more than double that before the experiment.

I get that this is an improvement but are you really throwing away your moral for 1 match a day?

Interesting write up based on what you found testing this

Just be aware we have a general forum rule that you can't promote and post outside links - have redacted the initial post

Links to any personal projects are allowed in signatures though as I see you already have
