Whether you're sitting at your desk scrolling through Tinder profiles as a mindless pastime or you're looking for a serious relationship, most dating app users agree that swiping can easily become a habit. In fact, 68% of US Tinder users use the app multiple times a week. If you find yourself among those people, you might be wondering how to write a great Tinder bio. Once they see your adorable selfie or adorable photo with your dog, your bio should be sure to make the right swipe.
"A great Tinder bio starts with making your profile compelling so you stand out," certified relationship coach Amie Leadingham tells Bustle. She also recommends using humor to make your resume more memorable and pique the curiosity of your potential opponents.
Leadham also recommends avoiding "negatives" when crafting a Tinder bio; a popular phrase that many people mistakenly use is "no hookups." While some may think this approach will deter daters who are just looking for a casual fling, showing negativity right from the start may be off-putting to the person you're actually trying to attract. "['No Hooking Up'] seems very self-righteous and negative," Leadingham said. “Focus on what you want.”
In other words, instead of making a list of what you don’t want from a partner, be clear about what you are looking for. For example, if you really want to, it's a good idea to mention in your Tinder profile that you want to have a long-term partnership. Leadham also recommends treating your resume as a "targeted marketing advertisement" and updating it regularly. As you try different content and formats, you'll notice patterns in the matches. Consider positive trends and cater to them.
If you're looking for some inspiration to start or update your own bio, here are some great Tinder resume examples.
