Online dating bio; advice?

Hi I kinda asked around; friends and strangers etc for advice on a *good* Tinder bio. I found some of the comments useful and rewrote it (I’m unsure if I should delete and remake my Tinder account again now the bio is improved)

Im unsure how important bios are considered to be on Tinder? Or what to include?

It’s seems a there is a fine line between self-deprecating, bragging and being humble in a bio

I kinda thought honesty was the best policy and tried to be direct but positive. I kinda think I’m either misunderstanding the assignment or I’m just unclear what is standard on dating app bios? Anyone else unsure on what works?

For context; I’m 32M, live in the UK 🇬🇧 and I’m neurodivergent myself. So summarising myself might be off putting? I don’t even know if Tinder is the app for me - I paid for a month of Tinder; and kinda feel *meh* (i paid for tinder because it felt like the biggest app)

My bio is:

*“My Last Date Didn’t Like Lord Of The Rings… So We Stopped Tolkien”*

*I love animals. Cat-dog dad and proud neurodivergent geek ♾*

*Into pasta, gaming, horror and fantasy shows and movies, reading, and making tiny clay models*

*Politically on the left. I value kindness, honesty, and solid communication*

*Coffee, or a pub date? Swipe right and let’s pick one*

So yeah:

1. a pun-based “joke” (dad/ pun based jokes are good in bios I think)
2. mentions pets and being ND ♾
3. hobbies to spark a bit of interest
4. politics and a bit about who I want to date, so I kinda set a tone (kinda implies my character too)
5. a date idea to set an expectation

I’m missing something or I’m saying something bad? Feel free to tell me if I’m doing something wrong lol

But yeah; as a wider discussion: does the bio throw you all off a bit too?

Your bio isn’t bad, I liked the Tolkien pun 😂

You give a general overview of things that you feel are important to share, and If someone is interested im sure you’d be willing to share further information

I have used Tinder in the past and I learned the hard way that it’s very rare to find someone that truly wants to find real love

Its catered to today’s hook up culture and if that’s something you wanna do then it’s up to you but from my personal experience it’s not the place to try and find a future spouse

@Ashly ah good! No red flags? 🚩

I altered my pics too: (new layout has only 6)

Are they decent?

Good luck out there, not all women are bad, you just have to find the right one 🫂

@Ashly I agree ☺ I love women for being themselves - I find them more relatable than guys actually 😊 appreciate them as friends and in dating! ❤

@GoldenOldie that’s wonderful

There’s good people out there, both guys and girls
And I think it’s ok to be friends with both of them

Friendships help make life a bit more enjoyable
