Tinder Top Picks meaning: What is the fuzz all about
The Top Pick feature shows you a smaller selection of women that Tinder says have been “hand-picked” for you.
Sounds pretty damn good, doesn’t it?
If you click on the sparkling golden diamond icon on your Tinder account, you will see something like this:
Wow, wait…
Here is even a “surfer,” an “adventurer,” and a “doctor.”
And occasionally, you will discover “scholars,” “fashionistas,” “models” or other “talents.”
What exactly these dubious titles are about and what they mean for you, I will explain now.

The Tinder Top Picks feature: How does it work?
The official explanation, which isn’t very insightful:
My explanation:
Every 24 hours, you get a bunch of women recommended by Tinder.
Based on which women you’ve marked with a “like” or “dislike” in the past.
In other words, the top picks should, in most cases, be exactly the women who are your type. The women of your dreams.

Are Tinder Top Picks REAL?Which is why many men often ask me:
And yes, my dear friend, they’re real.
Yes, although most Top Picks may have a “too good to be true” effect on you.
Each Top Pick is a flesh-and-blood homo sapiens with two X chromosomes.
But do you’ve any chance at all of getting matches with them?
More on this in a moment.
But first, let us find out how the “devil’s work” actually comes about.
Decoded: Tinder Top Picks – How does it work?
The women are real, and 9/10 times they’re damn attractive…
… but to find out what your chances are of actually matching them, we need to understand the algorithm behind it better.
At the beginning of this article, I showed you a bunch of Top Picks.
Is this title completely arbitrary or can every run-off-the-mill Joe get a title like our fine female specimens?
(Note: I gave you part of the answer earlier.)
The answer is:
Yes… and no.
Yes, Tinder automatically gives its users a title based on what keywords are in his/ her profile text.
BUT… once you know how they do it, you can influence the algorithm in your favor and choose your own title.
To make the point clearer to you, I looked at an “athlete” profile.
In the description, she stated the following:
On this profile, Tinder recognized the keyword “workout.”
>> 3 Tinder Tips for Better Conversations & More Dates [11 Examples].
(In some profiles I also noticed possible combinations of words like “active lifestyle,” but “workout” seems more likely).
This opens up new possibilities for you:
You can give yourself your own title with simple keywords.
If you want women to see that you’re an “athlete” too…
… then choose above all words like fitness, running, swimming or other activities that imply that you’re not exactly a couch potato.
The irony is that Tinder even categorizes you as an athlete if you have a profile text like:
The only kind of cardio training I do is to run from my problems.
So, you say quite clearly that you’re a lazy dog, but you’re still shown as an athlete. Adorable.
Anyway… because the top picks are usually quite delightful, you can only choose one woman among them in the free version of Tinder.
Only with a Tinder Gold subscription, you have the “privilege” to like several.
There you go. The mystery of the Tinder Top Picks is solved.
Here are a few more questions men regularly ask themselves regarding Tinder’s Top Picks feature.
>> Tinder for Relationship Minded Men – 5 Things to Do Different.
“Isn’t a Top Pick like just like a Superlike?”
I can see where the confusion comes from.
Each lady of the Top Picks has a Superlike logo at the bottom right of her picture.
That’s why some men see it as a bonus for free superlikes.
But no, bro.
The Superlike logo is to be understood as a “short command.”
If you tap it, you bless your chosen one with a Superlike – without having to tap her profile.
So, the logo is rather a comfortable button.
Important:
In any way, just the fact that you can choose women out of the Top Picks doesn’t mean that your chances of getting matches with them are higher than usual.
THIS is how Tinder selects your Top Picks
That’s the part of this article where we go even deeper…
…at least when you’re ready for nerdy theories.
Rumor has it that the app uses keyword recognition software combined with Amazon’s AWS image recognition software.
The combined forces of both programs should allow the undisputed dating app king to select the most qualitative Top Picks for you.
Anyway…
There are two things that make me doubt this theory.
>> 16 Best Tinder Openers from Fieldtesting Women Just Can’t Resist.
Doubt #1: New profile?
If you create a new Tinder profile…
… you will automatically be assigned a Top Picks list.
And maybe without you having even swiped one woman, adding a profile text or a photo.
Women who are perfect for you?
I don’t think so.
Rather, you will see some of the most popular women in your area.

Doubt #2: ELO score
This is what I noticed when experimenting with Tinder Gold and Top Picks.
The women that are listed to you often differ mainly in one aspect from those that are shown to you in regular match play.
They’re usually of higher quality.
This means that Tinder will partially ignore your ELO score to complete the list for you.
(If you’re just wondering what the hell the ELO score is. The short answer: It’s the value that determines which women you’ll be displayed to (whether attractive or rather unattractive).
Since I don’t know your Tinder profile, I can’t guarantee what consequences this will have for you, but my guess is this:
If you mark a chica bonita of the Top Picks with a like, who has a higher ELO value than you, you will most likely not be shown to her.
After all, only men of her ELO class are shown in her match game.
Of course, you could increase your chances by using a Superlike, but even then… what are the chances that she will swipe you to the right if your profile is of lower quality?
Unless, of course, you’ve recently updated your profile. Then I see a match working.
If not, you can forget all about dating her…
“Do I get a notification when I’m a Top Pick?”
No.
No, you won’t know about your secret “Top Pick career,” and you don’t get any notification on your phone when a girl chooses you as a Top Pick.
Superlikes are therefore, your only chance to stand out from an ordinary like. According to Tinder, here you will be shown 3x more likely to women, and your profile will have a blue frame if they come across you in their match game.
The final verdict: Is it worth it to get Tinder Gold for Tinder Top Picks?
Let’s not beat about the bush.
The short answer:
No.
The Top Picks feature in no way increases the likes you get.
Of course, it feels good to see a collection of beautiful women every day.
And yes, even the hope that a woman of the Top Picks might match you doesn’t feel bad.
However, a match between you and a top pick is unlikely.
Why?
Because these women are among the most popular in your region and are likely to be bombarded with dozens of likes and Superlikes – so no matter how outstanding your profile is…
A match here is more like luck.
I’d be lying, though, if I told you that it’s impossible.
Why?
Well, by following my watertight step-by-step plan, you can increase your chances tremendously:
- Upload epic pictures that show you from your most attractive side.
- Write an original profile text that makes you stand out from the crowd.
- Learn how to turn your matches into numbers and from there into phenomenal dates.
Are all these steps connected with sincere effort?
Yes.
Is this going to make your love life a lot better?
F*ck, yeah.
The best thing for your love life
If you believe that you deserve wonderful women, I strongly advise you to try this step plan (before you do, don’t whine about having too few matches).
