May 26, 2018 Ah, the ever elusive dating profile description Chances are if you’re reading this, you’re looking at that tiny About Me box on your Tinder profile, watching that little red cursor blink, and wondering what in the world you should say about yourself in 500 characters or less. Jun 23, 2020 I’ve tested things out on Tinder, OkCupid, Match, Bumble, and Hinge, and scoured hundreds of profiles in pursuit of the “perfect” dating profile. In this article, I’m going to share with you 20 dating profile examples of men, and I’ll be discussing what works and what doesn’t work on the various dating apps. Sep 17, 2017 We can help you with that. Take a look at some of these funny online dating profile examples below to get started. Example #1: Funny. About me: My name is Jenna and I’m 24 years old. I never pictured myself as the online dating type, but at this point in my life I thought ‘ Screw it, why the f#$% not!”. The worst thing you can do in a traditional profile is to write the same kind of profile that you would for a discovery dating app. A good profile is going to be at least 150 words long. However, if it goes over 300 words, fewer people are going to be willing to read it.

Don’t agree? No problem. Let’s debate.

Tina, 25
It’s funny because:
a) it’s true
b) it’s a poop joke
c) it happened to someone who sucks
d) you’re tired and/or drunk and everything is funny

Curious about your answer.

Annie, 23
The peanut is neither a pea nor a nut.
The chickpea is neither a chick nor a pea.
Ralph Fiennes is spelled neither rafe nor fines.
Duran Duran is neither a Duran nor a Duran.
The Italian neo realist movement in film was neither Italian nor neo nor particularly realist.

Discuss.

Tip: Give them something to talk about.
It’s no secret that starting a conversation on a dating app can be hard, so if you want to make it easier for someone to start a conversation with you, give them some easy ways to start chatting. Put a question in your profile, something you’d like them to ask you, a topic that’s up for debate, or an icebreaker. It seems odd to say this, but it doesn’t even need to be about you. If you pick a topic, say something silly, or ask a question you’re showing your personality, not telling someone about it. It many ways, it’s much more powerful.

Trick: Greater than/less than.
An easy way to create a profile that gets people talking, is to use the greater than/less than trick. Simply list out sets of things you could debate or have an opinion about with someone, and say which you think is best. And the more absurd or seemingly trivial, the better. Your profile should show the weird, wonderful things about you and instead of saying what your job is, or that you like to travel, get random. Want some other ideas: tacos < burritos, Friday nights out > Thursday nights out, National league > American league, Radiolab > Serial, and the list goes on and on.

Jessie, 26
First…
Car: 72 Super Beetle (bright orange with a horrible clutch)
CD: The Spice Girls ‘Spice’
Kiss: Jacob Allen in my friend Krissy’s basement. So many braces… so so bad.
Job: Polishing little figurines at The Hallmark Store.

Rachel, 29
Last…
Movie I saw: Isle of Dogs
Book I read: Zadie Smith’s essay collection Changing My Mind
Food I ate: A burrito
Trail I hiked: Garrapata in Big Sur
Country I visited: Ireland
Guy I swiped right on: We’ll have to see now, won’t we?

Malorie, 28
I’ve never…
Driven cross country.
Had a root canal.
Missed a friend’s birthday. (Really, I’m so good about birthdays. I love them.)
Met a New Pornographers fan I didn’t like.

Tip: Lists are your friend.
If you want to make your description short, scannable, and easy to read put together a list. It makes your description look more approachable than a large block of text and catches the eye easier. Start with a small headline, then elaborate. And don’t forget to include those small details that spark conversation.

Trick: First and last.
Another quick way to create a no fuss but plenty of fun profile—list off some firsts or lasts. Listing of things like the last concert you went to, person you called on the phone, place you visited, or even what you had for lunch, gives people a sneak peak into what your everyday life and interests are like. Or want to get nostalgic instead? List off some firsts like first crush, first pet, first place you lived, or first book you loved. Hey, you can even mix them up and list your firsts and lasts together.

Jen, 25
About Me: I like to sing-talk, guys with messy hair, reading the New Yorker on Sunday mornings, and funny voices.
About You: If you’re still reading, that’s pretty good. Let’s do this.

Rosario, 26
All happy girls are alike; every unhappy girl is unhappy in her own way. My kind of unhappy is full of self-deprecating humor, double IPAs, and is actually pretty rad.

Let me know if you want to be miserable together.

Jocelyn, 28
I live my whole life setting up situations that will eventually lead to the phrase, “And then laughter and hilarity ensued…” Hoping this one will work out too.

Tip: Let your freak flag fly.
There are so many people and profiles on Tinder, that it can get boring reading the same ol’ same ol’ about hiking, traveling, working, spending time with family and friends… These aren’t bad things (I love these things, we all do) but they’re universal things and they don’t help someone really get to know what’s unique about you. Don’t be afraid to get a little weird. Share a secret desire, an odd personality trait or habit, or be a little dark… or overly optimistic. Whatever you do, be different.

Trick: About You/About Me
Here’s an easy template for a Tinder profile—organize your thoughts into short About Me/About You sections. Just list a few interesting details about you (and, like I said, the weirder and more random the better) then a few things about the type of person you’re into. About Me: I love stinky cheese, the smell of dog paws, and going camping by myself for my birthday every year. About You: You have a dog, know how to give as good as you get, and don’t mind crashing my (lack of a) birthday party. Try it!

Natalie, 29
The last guy who swiped left on me aged so quickly he shriveled up into an old man skeleton thing before he turned into dust and died a swift yet horrifying death.

He chose poorly.

Mel, 27
I’m very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. What does your apartment smell like?

Sally, 26
You should know that I hate old people, children, and dogs.
Actually, I love all those things but if you know what movie that line is from, we should go out.

Tip: Feel free to not say much.
Because your Tinder bio goes along with your photos, don’t feel like you have to say a ton or write a novel to catch someone’s eye. In fact, it’s probably better that you don’t say too much. Keeping it short and sweet makes it more likely someone will read your bio in the first place (many people may move past you if they see a large block of text they’re not in the mood to read). Plus, it will keep them wanting more.

Trick: Obscure references.
In many ways, we are the art we consume. If you have a favorite line from a movie, a quote from a book or speech, or an obscure joke that will make an interesting profile, try it out. Some people may not get it, but the people who do get it will get you. (And that’s what you’re really looking for anyway.)

Yin, 27
Grew up in the Portland, Oregon area. Survived middle school by becoming a skater kid (still haven’t grown out of it). Now I’m trying to pay my rent, play my music, and make my way.

Looking forward to going to Brazil in the fall. If you have any tips on what I should see, definitely let me know.

Fiona, 28
I love guacamole, the original Star Wars movies, laughing with someone in the corner of a crowded room, when the sun shines through my blinds in the morning (just not before 9:00 please), and new people who tell horrible jokes.

Oh, and I hate squirrels. Don’t let those little punks trick you. They’re just fluffier rats.

Maria, 25
“The girl doesn’t stop.” – My best friend Erin
“Excellent incisors. And she flosses.” – Dr. Dan, my dentist
“She’s not as crazy as she looks.” – My ex boyfriend Jake
“Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!” – Betty Davis from All About Eve
(Ok, so Betty didn’t say it about me, but it fits somehow.)

Tip: It’s ok to be a little cheesy.
Do you like sunsets? Are you spiritual? Are you confused about life and your place in it? Go ahead and say so. Chances are there are other people out there who can relate to your experiences, so don’t be afraid to get real or even a little cheesy. Not every dating profile needs to be clever or funny to catch attention.

Trick: Fake Reviews
We’ve all seen product reviews but another quick trick to creating a different kind of profile is the fake review profile. What would your mom say about you? Your ex? Your neighbor? Your 2nd grade teacher? Your drill sergeant? Writing silly, fake reviews for yourself can be a fast way to share more about yourself by going beyond the standard dating profile.

Writing a profile may seem tough at first, but use a few of these tricks, see what works for you, and mix things up until you find a good fit. Or better yet, keep things fresh by switching things up now and then. Different profiles attract different people. And if you’re in the stage of dating where you’re open to meeting different kinds of people and aren’t sure what you want yet, this is an opportunity to see who’s out there.

When it comes to success in online dating, it all comes down to three things: your profile, your photos, and your strategy. With online dating apps split between discovery apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge and apps like Match, POF, Zoosk, and eHarmony knowing how to write the best dating profile for the dating app you are can be confusing.

In today’s blog, we are going to break down the basics of how to write a profile that attracts the people you want to meet.

How to Write a Profile for Tinder, Bumble, or Hinge

Discovery, or Swipe, apps changed the way people date when Tinder first came onto the market in 2012. Where you used to have to write a long profile, now you were limited to no more than 500 characters.

Also, instead of searching through profiles, you swiped through photos, only stopping to read the ones that grabbed your attention. The result is a type of dating that feels more like a video game.

This makes spending time on these apps easier, but it can make finding a connection on apps like Tinder, Bumble, or Hinge that much harder.

What Are People Doing Wrong?

With only 500 characters on Tinder, 350 on Bumble, and only 150 per answer on Hinge, people feel like their only chance is to stand out with a profile so clever that the reader would want to not only swipe right but share it on their Instagram account.

This is the wrong way to go.

When you try to be clever or funny, it often just sounds forced and disingenuous. You don’t need to entertain the masses to get your profile swiped on. You just need to connect with people. You are never going to get a good connection with a sales pitch, and that’s what half the people on these apps are doing.

Sadly, the other half are just listing adjectives like features on a used car… because there’s nothing people want to read more than a list.

How do I write my Tinder or Bumble profile?

We will have a more in-depth post coming out on this soon, but the basics are pretty easy.

• Forget the sales pitch
  • You can’t convince people to like you if there’s no connection. Just be yourself. It is the only way you will connect with the right people.
• Leave the list behind
  • Instead of filling space with a ton of useless adjectives, pick three things that matter to you. Write a full sentence for each one of them, giving context and color. That way you aren’t just saying you love concerts, you are creating a conversation starter by telling them about the best show you’ve ever been to or your dream concert. This context is what will grab people. If they liked your photos enough that they wanted to read your profile, this is the kind of stuff that will make them want to get to know you. Lists just don’t do that for you.
• Tell a story
  • If the previous suggestion doesn’t grab you, pick one thing, a story from your life that tells who you are. That’s the only thing you have to write about. When people read that, they’ll get a sense of who you are, and that will help them determine if they would actually want to spend time with you.
• Use the space they give you
  • I’m constantly amazed at how many people use less than 100 characters of their allotted space on their profiles. The number of characters between the number 3 and the start of this sentence is already 143. When you leave a profile blank, or you write the least amount that you think you can get away with, you show people that you don’t really care about how you present yourself and you are mainly focused on photos. Even if that was true, you’ll still have a much better rate of success if you put in that little bit of extra effort.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help
  • Whether you need an objective eye on your photos or you need help writing your Tinder/ Bumble profile, we’ve got you covered. We’ve created a suite of services specifically to help you improve your success with Tinder and Bumble. Check them out HERE.

How Do I Write My Hinge Profile?

Hinge is actually our favorite discovery dating app. While not as large as Tinder or Bumble, It has a design that is far more conducive to starting conversations and connecting than any of its discovery competitors. Here are two big tips that everyone needs to make sure they follow when they write their Hinge profile.

• Choose the right questions
  • When people call me for help with their Hinge profile, one of the first problems I notice is that they usually choose questions because they think other people want to read the answers, not because they had any interest in answering them. If you don’t pick questions that interest you, your answers are going to suck! It only takes five minutes to read through all of the questions they give you to choose from. If you don’t have an answer in your head for that question, pick a different one. If you have to sit and ponder what your answer should be to a question, you shouldn’t be trying to answer that profile question.
• Give full answers
  • There is no dating app where people are more guilty of one-word answers than on Hinge. You have 150 characters. It’s not a lot. It’s two letters more than I wrote in the last two sentences. When you answer a question, make sure you take the time to give your answer context. Instead of just saying you can’t live without Italian food, tell people that one special dish that always makes a bad day better for you.
• Call in the experts
  • If you get stuck on your Hinge profile, we’ve created a special service just for you. With this service, you can hop on the phone with one of our dating profile writers and have your new profile in as little as 20 minutes! Check it out HERE.

How to Write a Profile for Match, Pof, Zoosk, Harmony, or Okcupid

Traditional dating apps like Match, POF, Zoosk, eHarmony, and OKC are where most of the real relationship-seekers are when it comes to online dating. Most of these dating apps require a paid membership, and they all require a much longer profile than you’ll see on Discovery apps.

Another big thing to realize about these dating apps is that they draw a more mature crowd than discovery apps. I would not generally recommend any of these apps (other than OKC) to anyone under 32. With all of that in mind, here are some tips to help you write your dating profile:

• Show don’t tell
  • Most people are a recipe: I’m funny, outgoing, loyal, kind, athletic. People don’t want to eat the recipe, they want to eat the cake. Never list things about you. Take the list of things that you want to say, cut it in half, and then make sure that each of those things has a comment added to it that brings it to life and gives it context. That’s what will take you from flour, eggs, sugar, and cocoa to a moist, delicious chocolate cake.
• Watch your “I”s
  • You can make the world’s most interesting person sound like the world’s most boring person if every sentence about yourself starts with the word “I.” Make sure to use transitional phrasing in your sentences and it will do a much better job of creating a connection with prospective matches.
• Remember your audience
  • Most people think they need to write a profile that attracts the most people. That’s just wrong. Your profile should actually repel around 99% of the people who see it. The only people who matter are the ones with whom you share actual compatibility. Don’t worry about attracting everyone else.
• Don’t worry about funny, worry about you
  • People always ask me to make their profile funnier or more clever, but that’s not always the best plan. Funny and clever is great if you have a funny story to share or something that is naturally clever. Trying to force it into the profile just makes you sound like a salesman. If you really want to add humor, the best way is through an anecdote. Other than that, just focus on being yourself.
• Don’t ask for things that are normal parts of healthy relationships
  • You’ll often see people say they want to meet someone honest and loyal, or someone who doesn’t play games and is looking for a monogamous relationship. While all of these things sound reasonable, they are also things that you shouldn’t have to ask for. When you do ask, it makes it sound like you are still dealing with issues from past relationships where you were lied to or cheated on.
• Don’t write too little, or too much
  • The worst thing you can do in a traditional profile is to write the same kind of profile that you would for a discovery dating app. You have space. Use it! A good profile is going to be at least 150 words long. However, if it goes over 300 words, fewer people are going to be willing to read it.
• Give me a call

Bonus Tip For OKCupid and eHarmony Profiles

Unlike the other dating profiles, eHarmony and OKCupid break their profiles up into a series of questions.

It is really important that you answer EVERY question. This is not the time or place to get lazy. Take the time to answer them all, and make sure that you give full answers. One word answers are just going to make it look like you don’t really care about meeting someone.
