The web engineer approached his ex-girlfriends in a hope they would write a review of their relationship so he could include it on his bio on the dating app.

While most of the girls agreed, there was a mixed bag of results.

“We were young and dumb — you were an a**hole. Looks like you’ve changed and like you’re doing awesome now,” reads a review from ex-girlfriend Danielle.

“I am married, leave me alone …,” wrote Sarah.

Regardless of the replies, Jake’s profile received a lot of attention on social media and has now blown up.

For those looking at spruiking up their own Tinder profiles in search of love, you could always follow Jake’s guidance.

If that is a little too awkward for your liking, we have compiled a list of five tactics to up your Tinder game.

1. ONLY HAVE PICTURES OF YOURSELF

There is no getting around it, Tinder is superficial and matches are based purely on photos.

This means if you want to get a match make sure you select flattering photos and avoid group shots.

No one wants to match with someone hoping they are the hot blonde in the group of seven people.

2. USE PROPER SPELLING AND GRAMMAR

While basic mistakes can be overlooked, if u talk lyk dis, chances are you are not going to appeal to a member of the fairer gender.

3. USE YOUR TAGLINE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE

Take Jake’s lead. It doesn’t have to be reviews from your ex, but think of something that will make you stand out.

4. KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON

You might have abs for days, but it’s a common complaint form girls who use online dating sites and apps that shirtless dude pics creep them out.

5. HAVE GOOD CHAT

Once you match with someone, start with a clever opening line and build from there.

Keep the chat tactful and engaging.

Even if you are only on Tinder for hooking up, there is no need to be blunt.

Remember there are always subtle ways at suggesting things.
