Making a good first impression is hard, and it becomes tremendously more difficult when you don't get to do it in person. We've all seen how online dating has revolutionized modern matching. Tinder, in particular, has become a primary vehicle for these interactions. Launched back in 2012, the app has now collected over 75 million users (dwarfing numbers associated with competing platforms like OkCupid and Hinge). Not only that—a 2022 survey conducted by the wedding planet website The Knot found that the app helped introduce 27 percent of newlywed couples who met online. But what kind of profiles inspire this kind of success? What photos need to be posted and what, exactly, appears in those Tinder bios? Read on below to find out!

What Are Good Tinder Bios Really Made Of?

Everyone has a different opinion of what constitutes a good Tinder profile. And while it's true that different people will gravitate towards different details, there are a few commonalities across the board.

For one, there are the photos. Tinder actually collects data surrounding what types of photos garner the most success. A few general tips include solo shots for your first picture and up-to-date, unposed images to follow. People are so desperate to nail this portion of the profile that several different companies have even set up shop to help people perfect the shot.

And then there's the bio. This is where you get to communicate all those details that your photos cannot. Don't worry if you don't know what to jot down, research suggests that the simple act of including any words in your profile increases your chances of success by up to four times.

That's not to say you should be completely careless with what you write in your Tinder bio—you shouldn't. These blurbs provide the best opportunity you'll have to communicate who you are and what you're looking for. In fact, we care so much about helping you succeed here, that we've put together a few Tinder bio examples below. Keep reading to see what we've got.

Important Tips for Your Tinder Bio

We hope you got something out of the ideas listed above! Of course, you are always encouraged to put your own original spin on things. After all, Tinder profiles should be relatively unique, and your potential matches don't want to see something they've seen over and over again. But before you go putting together some material for a funny bio of your own, check out the tips below. We don't want to see things go south before you even get started.

Be real and honest.

A good Tinder bio will help users walk away with a better sense of who you actually are. Don't just jot something down because you think it will land well with a match—make sure whatever you write reflects at least some of your own personality.

It's really not as hard as you may think. There are tons of avenues to show some of yourself. Humor, creative writing, and references to pop culture are just a few ways to get started.

Be engaging.

No user is less engaging than one who has decided to leave their bio blank. Doing so not only strips users of any idea as to who you are but also anything that could help them kick off the conversation. Even a cheeky Tinder bio is much more likely to attract some kind of exchange than one that contains nothing at all.

Again, there are tons of options here. Toss in a few unpopular opinions for a fun debate. Use some self-deprecating humor to make those potential matches laugh. You can even throw up some wild inaccuracy for the sake of being corrected—anything to get the ball rolling!

Don't be jaded.

Everyone experiences burnout online, but a good Tinder bio will communicate some hope in the modern dating scene. Making assumptions about someone ghosting you before even exchanging words is a turn-off, plain and simple. Don't let past disappointments muddy your ability to create new connections going forward.

Don't be overly suggestive.

Sure, sometimes suggestive and spicy statements can help contribute to a relatively funny Tinder bio. But this move can also backfire pretty quickly—especially when used on someone who is actually looking for a serious relationship. People meet plenty of creeps out there. Do what you can to prevent yourself from falling into that category.

Check your spelling and grammar.

The only thing worse than a blank profile is one riddled with grammatical errors. Dating is about putting your best foot forward, so maybe don't let everyone know how bad you are at spelling right off the bat. Besides, it's good to show that you've put in some effort, even if it comes in the form of a simple proofreading exercise.

FAQ

Should guys put their height in a Tinder bio?

The decision to include your height in your Tinder bio is completely your own, though it may spare you the misfortune of meeting up with someone whose physical preference differs from where you stand—literally.

What is Tinder Loop and should I use it?

Tinder Loop allows users to create two-second looping videos which they can then add to their profile. In addition to adding a little more novelty to your profile, data shows that the feature helps users increase conversation length by up to 20 percent. Their number of matches also increased by an impressive 10 percent.
