Tips for Making the Best Profile

1
Keep your profile about you. You’re the main character of your life, so make sure your profile is primarily about you. Feature pictures of you and you only. Include a list of your favorite activities, what you like to do on a lazy day, and/or a beloved movie or musician.^{[6]
X

- Letting your personality show is the best way to capture potential matches, so don’t be afraid to be different and authentically you! After all, your profile should express yourself and all your loveable quirks.
- Take a flattering photo of yourself or use a candid shot taken by a friend as your first profile picture, as it's more appealing than a selfie.^{[7]

Explain why you’re on Tinder. Believe it or not, someone’s more likely to swipe right when a profile details why they’re interested in online dating. Including a brief or clever line about why you’re on the app helps attract people that feel the same way or have a similar goal. Here are some examples:^{[8]
X
Research source}
- “Looking for someone to become friends first and maybe more after.”
- “I’m not here to make friends or to have a serious relationship—just looking to have some fun!”
- “Seeking a serious relationship and possible chef.”
3
Keep your bio short and sweet. Tinder profiles have a 500-character limit but aim for even less. We know you have a lot to say about yourself (as you should because you’re amazing), but potential matches aren’t looking for a lengthy novel about your life. Give them the bullet points of your best attributes rather than detailing everything about yourself right away.^{[9]
X
Research source}
- Give potential matches something to ask you about. The goal of an online dating profile is to spark a conversation. If you detail everything, a match won’t have any questions to ask.
4
Never leave your profile blank. Potential matches want to learn about you, but they can’t do that if there’s nothing about you in your profile. Even the smallest detail can have more people swiping right!
- If you’re not sure what to put in your bio, write down a list of your interests and hobbies. Then, think about how you can tweak our above examples to fit your personality.
A Tinder bio is your first impression, so make sure everything is grammatically correct and spelled right.^{[10]

6
Sprinkle in 1 or 2 emojis if you want. Emojis are a fun way to express yourself, but using too many or ones with obscure meanings could hinder you. Use them sparingly, and stay clear of emojis only your friends would understand.^{[11]

- A 🙂 or 😊 after a friendly bio could be an exception as it universally radiates positive energy.
- A 🐶 or 🐱 in a bio discussing a love for dogs or cats may also be acceptable to show your playful side.
- A 😉 or 😏 might be used in a flirty bio but may come off as too suggestive.

Tips

Remember that the success of your bio doesn't reflect your value, and that online dating is ultimately a numbers game. If you're not having fun with the apps, try taking a break for a bit and come back in a few days or weeks.

Tips from our Readers

The advice in this section is based on the lived experiences of wikiHow readers like you. If you have a helpful tip you’d like to share on wikiHow, please submit it in the field below.

The goal of matching with someone on Tinder should be to meet up with them, so keep your profile simple and straightforward. Be upfront about why you're there, share a bit about your likes/dislikes/preferences, post some attractive (but honest) photos, and otherwise, save all the get-to-know-you stuff for the actual date.
Don't steal bio ideas from the internet. Make up your own profile! It'll show you're genuine.
