If you’re hoping to get your Tinder profile in shape before Dating Sunday, Tinder’s global relationship insights expert Paul C. Brunson has five top tips.
1. Show your true self
Brunson recommends having at least five photos that capture your true personality in different settings.
“People want to see you as you are and authenticity is important above all for young singles,” he said.
2. More words, more possibilities
The optimal number of words in a Tinder bio is between 15 and 45, according to Tinder.
“It’s important to make these 15 to 45 words count, as Tinder research shows that more than two in five (45%) of young singles aged 18 to 24 prefer their potential partner to be clear about what they want in your dating app bio.” Mr. Brunson said.
3. Show your interests
Showing your interests can help potential matches quickly find common ground with you.
“Your interests are what make you you, and by sharing them, you’ll be more likely to meet people who match your energy,” Mr. Brunson advised.
4. Express your personality
Instead of sending a generic ‘Hi, how are you?’, Brunson suggests getting creative and personal with your messages.
‘Ask questions you really want to know the answers to, or light a spark by asking your partner about their favorite hangout or the name of their pet. You never know what you might learn…’ she said.
5. Be open about what you are looking for
Lastly, Brunson advises being clear with your intentions from the beginning.
“Being direct and honest about what you’re looking for in a match will be a big help,” he concluded.
