1. First photo: 30 points
The opener carries the most weight because every later photo depends on someone continuing. Score what the image communicates at card size, not what you remember about the moment.
- 10 — face is immediately readable
- 6 — solo, with no identity confusion
- 5 — current appearance
- 4 — natural or approachable expression
- 3 — clean light and focus
- 2 — crop works on a phone
2. Photo range and order: 25 points
A strong lineup moves from recognition to context. Give points only when an image adds information the earlier slots did not already provide.
- 6 — full-body or wider current frame
- 5 — genuine activity or interest
- 4 — readable social context
- 4 — different settings and distances
- 3 — strongest images appear early
- 3 — memorable final image or conversation detail
3. Quality and consistency: 20 points
The profile should feel like one current person. Heavy age gaps, dramatic facial differences, repeated outfits, or radically different editing styles make the viewer reconcile the set.
- 6 — appearance is consistent
- 4 — no blur or severe compression
- 4 — no repeated session or pose
- 3 — no face-obscuring lead image
- 3 — crops preserve the important context
4. Bio: 15 points
Score the writing for specificity and voice, not length. Tinder says a bio can talk lightly about hobbies or go deeper on what you want; either approach works when the details are clear and true.
- 5 — contains at least one specific detail
- 4 — sounds spoken rather than copied
- 3 — adds something the photos cannot
- 3 — avoids demands, clichés, and empty labels
5. Reply openings: 10 points
Someone should be able to start a conversation without inventing a cold opener. Count the visible hooks across photos and bio, then judge their quality.
- 4 — one clear interest or ritual
- 3 — one opinion or choice worth answering
- 3 — one date-shaped detail or shared activity
Read the result without overreacting
The score is a decision tool, not a prediction of matches. Use the lowest category to choose the first fix, then rescore the finished profile.
- 80–100 — clear and coherent; polish the weakest slot
- 65–79 — good material with visible friction
- 50–64 — several decisions need rebuilding
- Below 50 — fix recognition, consistency, and order before small copy edits
