The best Tinder bios to use.

Casually swiping through dating apps can be a lot of fun — until you realize you aren’t getting very many matches. If you’re serious about finding someone to hang out or hook up with — or if you straight-up want a serious relationship — then it won’t hurt to give your bio a quick refresh to draw more attention.

According to Devyn Simone, Tinder’s resident relationship expert, your Tinder profile is basically your first impression. “Sure, your photo might catch someone’s eye, but it’s your bio that gets them to send that first message,” she tells Bustle.

To snag more matches in 2025, you don’t have to write an essay for your future lover. “Keep your bio short, sweet, and authentic — just enough to show who you are and keep them interested,” she says. In fact, Tinder found that users with bios between 15 to 45 words tend to have the most luck.

While that doesn’t give you much room to work, you can still fit quite a bit of info about yourself and then save the rest for your first date. Here, experts share tips for getting more matches, as well as a lengthy list of funny, flirty, and conversation-provoking ideas.

List Your Hobbies

If you aren’t sure what to say, try listing your hobbies. “Tinder’s recent Year in Swipe report revealed that ‘pickleball’ was the fastest-growing bio mention in 2024, with a 148% increase.

So if you’ve got a favorite sport, don’t be shy — include it in your bio,” says Simone. You could also talk about your love of reading, knitting, running, or watching old movies.

Share 3 Fun Facts

Another option is to pop in three fun facts about yourself. “One of these facts can be about your zodiac sign, which can really tell a lot about your personality,” says Simone.

The Year in Swipe report found that women tend to be drawn to Virgo profiles and men tend to fall for Geminis. If you aren’t one of those signs, never fear. The topic of astrology will still give you plenty to talk about.

Say What You’re Looking For

While it’s best to keep your Tinder bio light and funny, certified relationship coach Amie Leadingham says it’s OK to be honest about what you’re looking for in a partner, too. For example, you might mention that you’d prefer a long-term partnership if that’s true for you.

Time It Right

Want an extra dose of matches? Mark your calendar. “The first Sunday of the new year is your golden ticket,” says Simone. “Known as Dating Sunday, it's the busiest day on Tinder.

This year, it falls on January 5, 2025, and on Dating Sunday, Tinder users typically see over 10% more matches than the rest of the year.”

Update Regularly

Leadingham also recommends viewing your bio as a “targeted marketing ad” and regularly updating it. As you try out different inclusions and formats, you’ll notice patterns in your matches. Consider the positive trends — do people always comment on your dog? — and cater your bio to them.

As a finishing touch, a cute joke, a quippy quote, or a flirty message won’t hurt either. Ready for some fun Tinder bio ideas? Keep scrolling below.
