How To Get More Matches On Tinder (From Hamza's Paid Course)

Key idea: “Thumb-stopping” first photo (Tinder’s 80/20)

• On Tinder, many women left-swipe extremely fast—often without looking at your bio or later photos.
• The only reliable “moment” to win the swipe is your first picture (the “hook”).
• Even very attractive guys may lose because their first photo looks too similar to everyone else (e.g., generic model/city shots), so the woman keeps swiping.

Lifestyle/marketing tip: Use a “Towel Pick” as the first photo

The speaker’s standout strategy is the “towel picture / towel pick”, designed to make the thumb stop abruptly.

Concept

• Use a towel-wrapped, sexually suggestive but attention-grabbing image.
• The goal is not just attractiveness—it’s contrast + abrupt curiosity so swiping pauses.

Variations mentioned

• More explicit/raw version: the towel is positioned in a way that can show a bit of the V-line (noted as potentially provocative).
• Less explicit version: wrap the towel around the waist and pull/grip and slightly lower it to reveal some V-line without being explicit.

Caution on grooming/appearance

• If your physique isn’t good, this can look gross or cringe, and you may get mocked/screenshot-shared.
• Be careful about visible pubic hair: dating apps may remove photos if explicit details are detected.

Fitness routine emphasis (to make the photo work)

• He repeatedly frames results as dependent on having a strong physique.
• The towel-pick worked for him when his training was years in; he references differences between earlier natural results and later enhancements.
• Implied advice:
  • Build a physique you’d be confident showing; otherwise use toned-down alternatives.
  • If your physique isn’t strong, you can try, but it may not look good.

Quick “protocol” / big action step

• First protocol / “AT20”: optimize for Tinder first-photo swipe-stopping, specifically using the towel pick.

App strategy: Prefer Tinder over other apps

• He claims Tinder produces dramatically more matches than Bumble/Hinge for him.
• Reasoning:
  • Tinder more readily supports/encourages shirtless-style photos than some other platforms.
• He focuses on Tinder only to avoid being overwhelmed by message volume.

Self-experiment idea (to see what works)

• Create a Tinder account as if you were a woman:
  • Use any name, and even low-effort/no-photo (or a black screen).
• He claims you’ll still get more matches as a woman than as a “Chad,” to illustrate how aggressively first-image selection impacts outcomes.
