Unlike many popular dating apps today, Hinge has an interesting format that lets you answer a variety of Hinge prompts, which alleviates some of the pressure of coming up with the bio all by yourself. All you have to do is simply pick three Hinge prompts (and a voice prompt, if you're comfortable) and answer the questions to the best of your ability.
"Hinge's prompts are designed to help you showcase your most authentic self and easily create meaningful connections with others," licensed therapist Moe Ari Brown, Hinge's love and connection expert, says.
Since these Hinge prompts are given as an option for everyone though, it can sometimes feel hard to stand out on Hinge. Fortunately, if you're struggling coming up with interesting Hinge-prompt answers, we've got you. Look no further than this list of Hinge-prompt answers that will keep your profile exciting and totally match-worthy. (Feel free to also try this dating app opener that has a 99.9 percent success rate too.) First, Brown shares insight into what to consider when crafting your profile.
Hinge-Prompt Answers Advice, According to a Hinge Expert
Use a voice prompt. According to Hinge data, daters with a voice prompt on their profile were 66 percent more likely to go on a date. As for what voice prompts to use? Try "The best way to ask me out is by..." "the hallmark of a good relationship is..." and "instead of grabbing drinks, let's..." These voice prompts were most likely to lead to a date in 2023, according to that same Hinge data.
Show off what makes you, you. I think we can all agree how annoying it is to see the same old, same old Hinge prompt answers. (Looking at you, everyone who likes "pineapple on pizza.") Plus, the Hinge-prompt answer doesn't really reveal a lot about you. "Sharing your truth and honoring your uniqueness is key," says Brown. "Don't be afraid to [show off] your quirks, whether it's a weird habit or a secret hobby."
Avoid one-word answers. Ultimately, one-word Hinge-prompt answers either show that you're too lazy to put effort into your dating-app profile or that there isn't much to say about you. "Short prompt answers aren't going to lead to an impactful conversation. Use your profile to spark a meaningful conversation that leads to a special connection," says Brown.
