The key to a great Hinge profile is choosing the right photos and using prompts to showcase your personality. Hinge’s tagline is “designed to be deleted,” and no wonder: with its wide selection of get-to-know-you prompts to break the ice between you and potential matches, the dating app is set up to help users make a meaningful and lasting connection. If you're wondering how to go about curating your perfect profile, stick around: we’ve assembled the best tips and tricks to help you master the art of the Hinge profile so that you can find your perfect match.
Things You Should Know
- Post a recent headshot that doesn't obscure your appearance. The first photo on your Hinge profile should depict you as accurately as possible.
- Be positive and funny. Choose prompts that allow you to showcase your humorous and optimistic side.
- Be yourself. You don’t have to share your life story (in fact, you probably shouldn’t), but a little vulnerability goes a long way for Hinge users.
- Avoid talking about exes or what you don’t want in a relationship. Focus on the future and the positives, instead.
