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?
