THE BIT
EVERYONE SKIPS
WHY YOUR BIO IS LOSING YOU MATCHES YOUR PHOTOS ALREADY WON
Y our photo got them to stop scrolling. That's the hard part done. Then they tap through to your bio and it says 'I love food, travel, and good coffee' — and they keep scrolling. Not because you're not interesting. Because you gave them nothing to hold onto.
A bad bio doesn't just fail to help. It actively undoes what your photos worked hard to build. One sentence that reads as try-hard, negative, or just boring — and the impression your photos created is gone.
YOUR BIO IS THE CONVERSATION BEFORE THE CONVERSATION.
Nobody messages 'hey' to someone whose bio gave them something better to work with. A specific detail, a half-finished opinion, a question they actually want to answer — that's what gets you 'okay I need to know more about this.' Generic gets you silence. Specific gets you conversations.
EACH APP READS DIFFERENTLY.
Hinge prompts are essentially tiny essays — they reward personality and specificity. Tinder bios need to land in three seconds or less. Bumble skews toward women making the first move, so your bio needs to give them an easy in. Using the same words across all three is like wearing the same outfit to a job interview, a first date, and a beach barbecue. Technically fine. Never optimal.
WHAT YOUR BIO IS ACTUALLY SAYING
(versus what you think it's saying)
The Personality-Free List
'Love food, travel, and good coffee.' 'Looking for my partner in crime.' 'Dog mum/dad 🐶.' These aren't wrong — they're just invisible. Every second profile in Sydney says the same things. We'll find the version of you that nobody else can copy.
The Accidental Warning Sign
'Not looking for hookups.' 'Swipe left if you're not serious.' 'If you can't handle me at my worst...' You're trying to filter people out, but it reads as exhausting before anyone's even met you. We'll say what you actually want — without sounding like a terms and conditions page.
The Blank Space
Nothing. Not even a single line. It says 'I couldn't be bothered' — which, to be fair, is probably not true. You bothered with the photos. You bothered to download the app. Thirty words is not a lot to ask. Let us write them.
The single most effective thing you can do on Hinge: be specific in your prompts. 'I'm looking for someone who appreciates a good wine' gets ignored. 'I'm looking for someone who will argue with me about whether the 2019 Yarra Valley Pinot was better than the 2021' gets responses. Same sentiment. Completely different result.
01 — HINGE PROMPTS THAT MAKE SOMEONE WANT TO RESPOND.
Hinge gives you three prompts. Most people pick the most popular ones and write the most expected answers. The result is a profile that's technically complete and completely forgettable.
We'll pick prompts that suit your actual personality — not the ones everyone else picks — and write answers specific enough that the right person sees themselves in them.
Three prompts, done properly, can do more work than ten mediocre ones. That's what we're going for.
02 — TINDER & BUMBLE SHORT. SPECIFIC. IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE.
Less space means every single word is doing a job. We'll write bios that:
- Land in under five seconds — because that's all you get
- Say something specific enough to be memorable
- Give them one easy, obvious reason to message you
GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO SAY.
The whole point of a good dating profile — photos and words together — is to make it easy for the right person to start a conversation. Your photos get them there. Your bio hands them the opening line. If you've already sorted the photography side, the bio is the last piece. If you haven't, we can help with that too.

The conversation that writes the bio
We start with a call. Not a questionnaire — an actual conversation. What makes you laugh? What would your best friend say about you if they were writing this? What's the thing you're weirdly passionate about that you never put on dating apps because you think nobody cares? That's exactly what goes in.
The best bios come from a twenty-minute chat, not a form.
Hinge prompts, chosen properly
Not 'two truths and a lie.' Not 'I'll fall for you if...' answered with something generic. We'll find the prompts that give you the most room to be specific — and write answers that make someone stop and think 'I actually want to know this person.'
Three prompts. Three chances. Let's not waste them.
The hooks that start conversations
A good bio plants things for someone to respond to. A half-formed opinion. A specific detail that only a certain kind of person will recognise. A question that's actually interesting. We build these in deliberately — so 'hey' becomes the backup option, not the only one.
Make it easy for them to start the chat.

THINGS PEOPLE ACTUALLY ASK
1. Can't I just write my own bio?
Yes. But most people either write something so safe it's forgettable, or overthink it until it sounds nothing like them. The problem isn't that you're bad at writing — it's that writing about yourself is genuinely weird. We ask different questions than you'd ask yourself, which tends to surface the actually interesting stuff.
2. Will it still sound like me?
That's the only thing that matters. A bio that sounds like a dating coach wrote it gets fewer responses than a slightly imperfect one that sounds like an actual human. We write in your voice — we just sharpen it. Think of it as the version of you that's on in a good conversation, not the version filling out a form.
3. I genuinely don't know what to say about myself. Is that a problem?
It's actually the most common thing we hear. Most people are surprisingly bad at identifying what's interesting about themselves — not because there's nothing there, but because you've been you your whole life and it all feels ordinary. It isn't. We'll find it.
4. Does it work for both men and women?
Yes — with different strategies. Women on Bumble need to make the first move, so their bio needs to give men something easy to respond to. Men on Hinge need prompts specific enough to stand out in a crowded field. Same goal, different execution. We tailor for whoever you are and wherever you're swiping.
5. Do I need the photos sorted before the bio?
Ideally yes — because the bio works best when it complements your photos rather than trying to compensate for them. If your photos are already done, we can go straight to the words. If you're still working on the photography side, we can help with that first and come back to the bio. Either way, the two things are designed to work together.
