You need Tinder Gold or Tinder Platinum. Both include the Likes page, which shows you the women who have already liked you before you decide whether to Like or Nope them. Once you subscribe, tap the heart icon at the bottom center of the main screen. Tap a woman's card to look at her properly, then swipe right to match or left to dismiss her.

Where the page is and how it works

The heart icon sits at the bottom center of the main screen.

Tap it and you see the women who liked you. Open one and look through her photos and whatever she wrote. Swipe right and it is a match straight away, since she has already liked you. Swipe left and she is dismissed.

Go through the page in one sitting, when you have a few minutes to decide properly. Flicking through it between other things is how men end up matching with women they barely looked at.

In select markets, some iOS users may be offered Likes as a standalone purchase instead of a full subscription. If you see that option, it is the same page sold on its own.

Without a subscription

If you do not pay, you still find out who liked you, just the ordinary way. When you like a woman who has already liked you, it becomes a match.

The Likes page does not create any interest that was not already there. It shows you that interest sooner and lets you act on it first. Keep that in mind when you decide whether it is worth paying for.

Keep your standard on the Likes page

A page full of women who already said yes feels like free matches, and it is tempting to swipe right on everyone in it.

Resist that. A match with a woman you are not attracted to costs you time. It leads to conversations you do not really want and dates you are half-hearted about. Coaching material on the apps makes the same point. Being selective, and liking only the women you actually want, tends to serve you better than liking everyone.

Judge each woman on the page exactly as you would in the main stack. The only difference is that you already know the answer to one question.

A simple test helps. Before you swipe right on someone from the page, ask whether you would have liked her if she had turned up in your normal stack. If the honest answer is no, her like does not change it.

A like is interest, not a date

When you match from the Likes page, you know she was interested enough to swipe on you. That is a head start, not a finish line.

Write to her soon, while the like is fresh. Make the first message about her, using something from her photos or her words, rather than a hello she has already read ten times today.

a dating coach's approach to messaging comes down to three things. Be playful enough to create some attraction. Share enough real detail about your life that she feels comfortable with you. And seed the idea of meeting early, so that asking her out does not come out of nowhere.

What a thin page is telling you

Plenty of men pay for Gold, open the Likes page, and find very little there. That is useful information, even if it stings.

The page is a mirror of how women respond to you. If it is nearly empty, the issue is usually upstream, in your photos and the first impression they make, not in the app. a dating coach makes this point about paid features in general. Most of them multiply the results you already have, and a multiplier on nothing is still nothing.

So if your page is thin, put your effort into your photos first. Lead with a clear, well-lit shot of your face. Add a few of you doing things in real places, and cut any group shot where she has to guess which man is you. Then check the page again in a couple of weeks.

Is it worth paying to see

For the right man, yes.

If women already like you regularly, the Likes page saves you real time. You can go straight to the women who are interested and skip long stretches of swiping past women who are not. a dating coach's advice on anything you can pay for on a dating app is to try it once, see whether it changes your results, and drop it if it does not. That is the right way to judge this one too.

If women rarely like you back, fix that first. The page will be worth far more once there is something on it.
