Woman ‘Dogfishes’ Potential Matches By Only Using ‘Ugly’ Pictures In Her Tinder Profile
The online dating world is a wild place where you will find just about everything.
A woman on TikTok is trying to get men's attention through the type of pictures that she's included on her profile.
Making Her Profile Picture "Ugly"
Hilene's video on TikTok has gone viral for her unconventional approach to her online dating profile.
She decided to make her profile picture "ugly" so that when she meets men in person on a date, they will be pleasantly surprised. In this "dogfishing" approach, the men will at least be happy she's a real person!
Only Has Two Pictures
She only has two pictures on her Tinder profile that she shared on TikTok.
One picture is the "ugly" one and the other is a travel picture that only shows the back of her head.
From An Unflattering Angle
What she is calling her "ugly" profile picture is an extreme close-up from an unflattering angle.
She says she thinks that this will cause more men to swipe right on her as this picture will stand out from the countless other profiles where women only feature their best photos.
Leaving Them In Suspense
The approach looked to have been getting some responses from men in her chat conversations.
She said that this man asked her to FaceTime a few times so that he could get a better sense of what she looked like.
Her Date Was Surprised
The strategy really paid off when she met up with a date for the first time.
The man was shocked and said that in person she is much more beautiful than her profile.
Only Meant To Be In Fun
Some people in the comments thought that in doing this, Hilene thought that she was extremely good-looking and that she was trying to not look like herself.
She clarified that she always meant for it to be her and that she meant for it to be funny.
