5 Reasons You're Not Getting Matches on Lox Club & How to Fix

Unfortunately, yes. Gone are the days when swiping on apps led to easy matches. These days, so many people have flocked to online dating apps that burnout is real, and the standards are higher.

That means it's more important than ever to put serious effort into your profile and pictures if you actually want to get matches. And especially on an app that made you wait out an application process—what's the point if you aren't going to follow through?

#1: You're still using your tired Tinder selfies from 2017

The dating game has changed (and hopefully, so have you.) Your bathroom mirror or gym selfies just aren't going to cut it anymore, especially not on the Lox Club dating app.

#2: Lox Club isn't in your city yet

Okay, maybe this one is a no-brainer. But sometimes it's not super obvious where a dating app is operating. Especially because many of them (Lox Club included) will drop you onto the waiting list until there are enough potential members waiting in your area.

#3: Lox Club is in your city, but it's still new

As a newer dating app, Lox Club isn't as popular as dating apps like Tinder or Bumble. And while fewer users can mean it's easier to stand out from the crowd, it can also mean the numbers simply don't pan out—and there aren't enough good dates to go around.

#4: You're being TOO picky

Yes, Lox Club is a tongue-in-cheek online version of pretentious social clubs, but that doesn't mean you can be hyper-specific in your dating parameters. If you specify everything from exact age to hair color, height, and even job description, you're just not going to find anyone. So one of the first things to do if you're not getting matches is to relax your search criteria.

#5: Your bio is boring

Lox Club specifically asks about career goals and future ambitions, and that means just dropping a few emojis in your bio isn't good enough. Lox Club's users are looking for people who want more than a hookup—or at a minimum, they want a fancy date first! So make sure you show what your lifestyle is like, and that you can hold a conversation, or why would someone bother to like your profile?

Sorry, no. While some social media platforms employ a shadowban to limit views of less desirable profiles, it's not really a tool utilized by dating apps. If Lox Club wants you off the app, you're just off—and you'll know it.

Like any online dating platform, it's important that you follow the rules, or face the consequences. And this is doubly true on an exclusive dating app like Lox Club. Their reputation is built on user experience, and that means they won't tolerate anyone who makes other users feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

#1: Nail your primary photo

Your main photo is the first thing that people are going to see, and only people who like the look of that image are going to bother looking at the rest of the images (let alone read your bio) so a lot of thought needs to be put into this choice.

#2: Have a niche

Yeah, we just told you not to be too picky—but you don't want to be wide open, either. If your profile is trying to attract everyone, it won't attract anyone. People need to see what you're into so they know if you'll get along. Don't just say you like sports, say what sport. (And do you play or just watch?)

#3: Stay active on the app

Potential matches are most likely to see you if you stay active because like other dating apps, the Lox Club dating app rewards activity. Get on there and swipe often, or you're missing out. Because you only get a handful of potential matches at a time, and they refresh a couple of times a day.

#4: Go to events

Like other so-called exclusive dating apps, Lox Club is bringing users together online AND in real life. And sometimes the old-fashioned way of meeting is the most effective. Apply to attend their events and see what happens when you try your opening lines face to face.

#5: Remember to have fun

Online dating (any dating, really) can be stressful. But if you don't look like you're having fun, why would anyone want to interact with you? Keep any frustration to yourself and put your best foot forward. It'll be better for everyone.
