89 Good Tinder Bios That Will Help You Get More Matches

Whether you tend to go through Tinder profiles as a mindless distraction while sitting at your office desk or you’re looking for a serious relationship, most dating app users can agree that swiping easily becomes a habit. In fact, 68% of Tinder users in the U.S. use the app multiple times a week. If you find yourself falling within that majority, you may be wondering how to write a good Tinder bio. Once they’ve caught a glimpse of your cute selfies or adorable shots with your dog, your bio should seal the deal on getting a right swipe.

“A good Tinder bio starts with standing out from the crowd by making your profile engaging,” certified relationship coach Amie Leadingham tells Bustle. She also recommends using humor to make your bio more memorable and pique the curiosity of your potential matches.

Leadingham also suggests avoiding the “negatives'' when crafting your Tinder bio; a popular phrase many people make the mistake of using is “no hookups.” While some may think this approach will discourage daters just looking for casual flings, starting with negativity right off the bat can be off-putting for the people you do want to attract. “[‘No hookups’] seems presumptuous and negative,” Leadingham says. “Focus on what you want instead.”

In other words, rather than listing the things you don’t want from a partner, be clear about what you are looking for. For example, it’s a good idea to mention that you want a long-term partnership in your Tinder bio if that’s true for you. Leadingham also recommends viewing your bio as a “targeted marketing ad” and regularly updating it. As you try out different inclusions and formats, you’ll notice patterns in your matches. Consider the positive trends, and cater your bio to them.

If you’re looking for some inspiration to start or refresh your own, here are examples of good Tinder bios.
