How to write a dating bio that gets matches

The 3-part formula

Hook — one specific, human detail in the first line.
Substance — a second beat that shows taste or values.
Invite — a question or soft challenge so messaging you is easy.

• Hook: “Still hunting the best breakfast burrito in every city.”
• Substance: “Weekends = trails or terrible trivia.”
• Invite: “Defend your favorite taco spot.”

Length that gets read

Aim for roughly 15–45 words on Tinder (punchy). Bumble can run a touch warmer/longer. Hinge wins with prompt answers (~150 characters), not a wall of About Me.

Skip these clichés

“Partner in crime,” “fluent in sarcasm,” “love to laugh,” “just ask,” and generic “travel + gym + food” lists. Specifics beat cleverness.

Draft faster

Use the bio generator, then rewrite weak lines, or score what you already have.
