Badoo Profile Tips to Make you Profile Stand Out

If you're having a hard time finding matches on Badoo, there's a good chance you're making one of these common Baddo mistakes; thus not getting sufficient likes and matches.

Mistake #1: Blending in

Sure, you know that you're interesting and fun to hang out with, but how are other Badoo users supposed to know that? If all you do is upload a picture or two (and not impressive ones, either) and then write a bland bio, or no bio at all, there's no reason for someone to give you a chance. The Badoo users can only know what you tell them — so make a good case for getting to know you.

Mistake #2: Choosing the wrong photos

If you're still not sure how to choose the right photos for dating apps, take a look at other photos on Badoo. Not even just of people you're interested in, but everyone's photos.

Think about what stands out to you. Are there people you'd like to chat with at a bar? Someone you'd want to invite to board game night? If so, why? It's probably because their pictures make it clear that you've got common interests, and that makes it more likely you could have interesting conversations.

Mistake #3: Ignoring the encounters section

Because Badoo can be used for more than just dating, you meed to make sure you're active in the areas of the Badoo app that align with what you're looking for. And if you're looking for dates, that means the encounters section.

Basically, that's the part of the Badoo app that functions kind of like Tinder, or any of the other apps you're used to, where you swipe to find a match. And like those other apps, once you get a match, both users will be notified by the app, and then you can decide to send messages to each other, and hopefully create a conversation that can lead to friendship or dates.

Mistake #4: Not backing up your statements

When you're dealing with a population that's had social media accounts their whole lives, you know people are on the lookout for fakes and scams. That's why every part of your profile — and especially your photos — needs to prove to potential matches that you're for real.

If you're going to claim you won a marathon, there had better be a picture of you with a medal around your neck. In fact, every photo you include can back up something you've said about yourself, so the other person can choose to chat with you with confidence.

If you're looking for more matches on Badoo, we've got you covered. Because it's not about meeting just anyone, it's about meeting attractive women in the age range you're looking for. And to do that, you need to put in some effort.

Tip #1: Focus on standing out

Finding success with online dating means combatting dating app fatigue. App users have seen it all at this point, and Badoo is no exception. So the first thing you need to do is find a way to stand out from the crowd by creating an eye-catching profile with great pictures and an engaging bio.

Think about your most unique feature and make that unique thing the focus of your profile. This will give you a hook that helps you stand out and will help you get likes on your Badoo profile.

Tip #2: Tell your story

It might feel easier to stay detached and act too cool for the app, but more people will be interested in getting to know you if you're genuine. Just like a Facebook "about" section, your details are already covered. So only list your stats if they're part of your story.

For example, simply stating your location isn't interesting. They'll know your location thanks to search results. So only include that info if you're visiting for an interesting event, or because you just moved and you're looking for new friends, etc. Basically, consider any statistic you're going to share, and decide how that could take up an (interesting) sentence or two.

Tip #3: Unlock profile super powers

Okay, super powers aren't quite as fancy as they sound. This is the language Badoo uses for its premium features. And it can be worth throwing down a little money to give your account access to these added benefits.

One feature that is well worth the investment is being able to see what potential matches are already interested in you. Basically what would be called "likes" on other apps. Talking to a user who has already expressed interest is going to be a much better use of your time than simply swiping through the profiles of random people.

Tip #4: Consider your settings screen

Okay, we know this isn't the sexiest feature on the app, but it does create the basis for your experience on the app. The settings screen choices you make will impact whether a user shows up when you search, as well as what other users are available to you.

Because on Badoo, you aren't limited to people nearby, like on most other apps. So make sure your location settings align with the kind of search results you're looking for.

If you've read through the do's and don'ts above and still have questions, don't worry. We tackle some of the most common questions here.

How do I make my Badoo profile better?

Focus on the details. It's often small changes that make a big difference. For example, if your current images aren't working, figure out why. Maybe it's something as simple as wearing a hat in all your pics, that's causing a shadow across your face. It's easy to miss details like that when looking at your own screen because you already know what you look like! But consider how closely you examine someone else to decide whether you find them attractive, and then offer that same amount of detail on your own page.

What should I write in my Badoo profile?

The number one thing your Badoo profile needs to do is give users a reason to start messaging and having conversations with you. You truly cannot include too many conversation starters in your profile. Because you want to make it as easy as possible for matches to figure out what to say, and also to keep the conversation going.

Think of your profile as the prelude to your first message. Foreplay for messages, if you will. Think about what you ultimately what your chat to include, and plant the seeds for those topics right up front. That way, a user that's interested in the same things as you is more likely to consider you a good match.
