Looking for more (or more attractive) matches on Tinder, Bumble or Hinge?
If you want to get more matches or simply want more attractive matches on dating apps such as Tinder, Bumble or Hinge, and you live in Amsterdam or are planning to go there soon, then this article is for you.
I'm Bryan Furtado, and I've helped dozens of men get better results on dating apps.
A large number of them lived in or around Amsterdam.
I know the places in Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands that are perfect for getting noticed by attractive women on dating apps. I've seen up close what works and what doesn't work in creating a dating profile that really stands out. If you're tired of endless swiping with no results, or if you simply want to get to the next level in your dating life, then this guide is for you.
The key to great dating profile photos
The right photos are flattering, spontaneous looking and in fit with who you are. Why the latter is important? Because women recognize a fake look from miles away.
Not the sporty type? Then don't try to pretend you are.
Not a partygoer? Don't force it.
Women immediately sense when something is not right. If your photos don't match who you really are, it backfires. Even if you come to a date, the difference in energy can cause the click to be lacking.
Although I'm not an opponent of making the truth prettier than it is for you men who claim to be 6 feet tall ;).
Step 1: Find your "secret sauce"
What is your vibe? Think about the version of yourself that women find most attractive and that still feels real.
A few examples:
- The charming gentleman (Harvey Specter-type): confident, stylish, groomed.
- The laid-back bad boy (Jason Momoa-type): relaxed but dominant, with a playful energy.
- The mysterious pretty boy (Timothée Chalamet type): artistic, dreamy and subtly confident.
There are many other variations, of course, but the important thing is that it really suits you. Once you've figured out what your vibe is? Then choose photos that exude exactly that.
Step 2: Choose venues that fit your image
Amsterdam is full of photogenic spots for your dating profile photos. The trick is to choose locations that enhance your personality and lifestyle.
1. A rooftop with atmosphere
Vibe: musical and adventurous.
Why it works: want to show your musical side with a cool view? Think Amsterdam-Zuid or The Valley, stylish backgrounds with lots of character. If you've spent hours learning an instrument, be sure to show that in your photos.
2. The Valley Amsterdam
Vibe: bright and powerful.
Why it works: The Valley has a modern, sophisticated look. The light colors make your face appear sharp and professional, something women pay immediate attention to.
Vibe: casual and sporty.
3. Billiards at Plan B
Why it works: the warm, beautiful background looks inviting. With the right pose, it almost feels like an open invitation to a pool date. Pro tip: Take a photo where a woman can imagine herself sitting next to you, relaxed and confident.
4. Vondelpark
Vibe: social and charismatic.
Why it works: this is the place for relaxed, social photos. Get together with a friend and make sure you are the center of the photo.
5. Amstelpark Tennis Club
Vibe: playful and relaxed.
Why it works: active photos do great whether you play tennis, soccer or just exercise. It exudes vitality and fun.
Bonus: tips for irresistible photos
Timing is everything. Photograph during golden hour (the hour after sunrise or before sunset). In the center of Amsterdam, among tall buildings, it's best to start a little earlier to avoid shadows.
Clothing: dress according to your vibe.
- Gentleman? Go for a well-fitting blazer.
- Bad boy? Think leather or a casual, fitted T-shirt.
- Pretty boy? Go for lighter colors, softer textures and a creative touch.
Professional help: an experienced photographer knows exactly how to capture you in the best light. You'll see that difference immediately in your matches.
