You’re swiping away on Tinder, excited to match with some potentially awesome people, when you notice this thing called “Top Picks” popping up everywhere. You thought you knew the ins and outs of Tinder, but now you’re wondering what exactly a Top Pick is, and if you’re a Top Pick yourself! Don’t worry if you’re confused about the Top Picks feature—we’ll break it down for you!
Steps
Question 1 of 5:
What are Top Picks on Tinder?
Download Article
Top Picks are profiles you’ll like most. Each day, Tinder provides a curated set of Top Picks to highlight your biggest potential matches. Since the Top Picks list is smaller and more unique to you, you’ll be more likely to find someone you match well with, and swipe right on them.[1]XResearch source
The Top Picks feature is part of the Tinder Gold and Platinum experience.[2]XResearch source
Top Picks was added to Tinder in September 2018.[3]XResearch source

How are Tinder Top Picks chosen?
Download Article
1 Top Picks are chosen based on what you put in your profile. This means that information like your hobbies, interests, education, and job are taken into account. Tinder then uses this information to group users into categories like “foodie” or “creative.” This makes it more likely that you’ll match with people who are similar to you.[4]XResearch source
Try to make your Tinder profile really representative of your interests, lifestyle, and personality. This helps filter out the people who aren't right for you.[5]X Expert Source Maya Diamond, MARelationship CoachExpert Interview
2 Swiping behavior impacts Top Picks. Tinder looks at your previous swiping patterns to determine who they want to give you as a Top Pick. If you tend to swipe left on a certain type of user, for instance, you might see less of those profiles in your Top Picks.[6]XResearch source
Advertisement Question 3 of 5:
Do Top Picks know they are Top Picks?
Download Article
There’s no way to tell for sure. Tinder won’t notify you if you’re featured on someone’s Top Picks. However, it might be more likely that you’re a Top Pick if you’re getting more Super Likes and matches than usual.
You can tell if someone Super Likes you if you see a blue star around their profile while swiping, but this doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being shown to that person as a Top Pick.[7]XResearch source
Question 4 of 5:
How do I become a Tinder Top Pick?
Download Article
Make your profile more personal and unique! Since Top Picks are based on your profile information, you’re more likely to show up as a Top Pick if your bio contains lots of details for the algorithm to work with. You can also use keywords to increase your chances of being organized into a certain group and shown to someone similar. With a little bit of work, you can definitely boost your chances.[8]XResearch source
For example, add in your college if you haven't already, and include “musician” somewhere in your bio.
Visual impressions matter for a lot of people, so make sure your first picture is great.
Above all, be very clear about why you're on Tinder to begin with.[9]X Expert Source Maya Diamond, MARelationship CoachExpert Interview
Advertisement Question 5 of 5:
Can anyone see Tinder Top Picks?
Download Article
All users get 1 free Top Pick a day. But since the Top Picks feature is part of Tinder Gold and Platinum, you’ll have to be a Gold or Platinum member if you want to see more Top Picks and interact with them.[10]XResearch source
Click on the Gold or Platinum flame icon on the “Discovery” screen to see your Top Picks.
Top Picks refresh after 24 hours.[11]XResearch source
