50 Actually-Good Tinder Bio Ideas to Help Your Profile Stand Out

Think of your Tinder bio as your dating app elevator pitch—a quick and dirty explanation of who you are and what your vibe is. In an era where dating burnout is high and meeting someone compatible isn't always easy, nailing a good Tinder bio can be a super efficient and low-stakes way (which is key here, minimum effort maximum results!) to bring in matches who can pick up what you're putting down. And all it takes is a few authentic sentences!
Today's Tinder profile layout allows for 500 characters in your bio, so depending on how wordy you want to get, you only really have space for three-to-four sentences. If your dating goal is to find a partner, the best way to use that limited space is by being authentic and honest about who you are and what you're looking for. 'Your bio is a chance to showcase your personality, interests, and values, giving others a glimpse into who you are beyond your profile pictures,' says relationship expert J essica Alderson, founder of So Syncd.
You don't want to make it too intense, either—write it out the way you actually talk and try to keep it light and welcoming, so potential matches get a taste of your personality before swiping right. According to Tinder's 2024 Year In Swipe Report, 45 percent of singles want someone friendly, loyal, and engaged. A good pro tip? Try to inject some of that energy into your first impression.
'Not only is authenticity attractive, but it also helps you connect with people who you are genuinely compatible with,' says Alderson. On that note, remember to steer clear of exaggerations, out-dated info, or anything else that isn't reflective of who you really are and what you're looking for today. If you're honest, the right person will be interested, trust.
Not quite sure where to start? That's where we come in. We put together a list of 50 potential Tinder bios for you to draw inspo from or copy and paste, if one resonates. (And yes, these also work for other dating apps besides Tinder if you're putting your metaphorical eggs in multiple baskets.) Happy swiping!

Funny Tinder Bios
The best quality you can have as my boyfriend/girlfriend is being able to tell me what movie or show that one actor is from.
Not from a family that runs 5Ks on holidays, FYI.
Seeking something casual, like a life-altering love affair that forever shifts our understanding of the world and our place in it and makes us question the very nature of love itself. Again, nothing serious!

Your next mistake.
Conversation-Starting Tinder Bios
Which Taylor Swift era are you currently in?
Fill in the blank: Together we could…
Seeking: New songs for my commute. Hit me with the best from your playlist.
Things I have firm opinions on (in no particular order): Looking at the menu ahead of time before a date, Apple Music, and dill pickles. (Or, you know, whatever specific things *you* have strong opinions on.)
16. If you were a breakfast food, what would you be? (I'm bottomless mimosas, obviously.)

Warning: Having me as a girlfriend is not for the weak.
Your friends will love me.
Tinder Bios That Hint at What You Are (And Aren't) Looking For
Literally just trying to go to a damn pumpkin patch this fall, ngl.

Not looking for a soulmate; just a short-lived, romantically ambiguous fling that leaves us both with minimal trauma and at least one good memory.

If this doesn't work out, at least we'll both gain an Instagram Story viewer forever.
Tinder Bios That Hint at What You're Like as A Person

Allow me to put the 'she' in your shenanigans.
Let's delete this app together.
Boyfriend/girlfriend applications now open: Inquire within.
Come vibe with me?
Creating a stellar Tinder bio is a lot like crafting the ultimate yearbook quote—because, if we're all being honest with ourselves, high school was pretty much a 24/7 quest to impress our crushes, and what are any of us really doing on dating apps if not trying to come across as cool and fun and witty and, well, dateable, to our future crushes? Your dating app bio is also similar to a graduation quote in that you don't have much space, you want it to reflect who you are, and you do not (emphasis on do not) want it to come off as cheesy.
Not that it's something anyone should be stressing about or anything, but learning how to write a good dating app bio really is a skill worth mastering, because, hi, yes, your bio is a Very! Important! part of your profile.
According to relationship expert Jessica Alderson, founder of So Syncd, a dating app that matches users based on personality type, a well-crafted bio not only helps you stand out, but also increases your chances of finding a meaningful connection. 'While physical attraction factors into the equation for most people regarding dating, long-term compatibility goes beyond just looks,' says Alderson. 'Your bio is a chance to showcase your personality, interests, and values, giving others a glimpse into who you are beyond your profile pictures.'
Hence why Aldereson says authenticity should be your first priority when crafting your Tinder bio. 'Not only is authenticity attractive, but it also helps you connect with people who you are genuinely compatible with,' she says. On that note, remember to steer clear of exaggerations, out-dated info, or anything else that isn't reflective of who you really are and what you're looking for. No lying! Alderson also suggests keeping it concise: 'Remember, you only have a few seconds to capture someone's attention on a dating app,' she says. 'So keep your bio short and make every word count. Think of it as a teaser that leaves people wanting to know more.'
Last but not least, our final rule: Show don't tell. One of the most important tips for writing a good dating app bio is to showcase whatever qualities you're hoping to convey rather than just listing 'em out, says Alderson. Instead of stating you are 'fun' or 'outgoing,' show that you actually are those things by writing something fun and voicey in your bio.
It's also good practice to update your bio regularly, so whether it's been a minute since you've switched things up or you're Tindering for the very first time, it's understandable if you've come across a little writer's block. Hi, that's where we come in with these 30+, Cosmo-approved dating app bios for your inspiration. Happy swiping!

What Is Tinder's New Double Date Feature?

Earlier this week, Tinder launched 'Double Date,' a new feature that allows users to—wait for it—double date by pairing their profiles with friends and swiping for other paired matches. Double Daters can sync their profiles with up to three friends, arguably rendering the 'Double Date' of it all something of a misnomer, but that's neither here nor there. For world-weary daters like myself who have been swiping since the apps went mainstream a decade ago, this news may trigger flashbacks to the mid-2010s chaos that was 'Tinder Social,' a similar (and relatively short-lived) feature that allowed daters to swipe as a group. But enough showing my age. While Tinder Social was ostensibly a flop, launching in 2016 and sunsetting the following year, the app seems to be betting on a new generation of daters better suited to the group-dating mentality. As Tinder's resident relationship expert, Devyn Simone, puts it, 'Gen Z isn't shy about being, well, a little shy.' For a generation of post-pandemic daters who crave in-person interaction but were deprived of it during their formative years, 'Dating can feel like a high-stakes performance,' Simone tells Cosmo. Double Date 'turns it into a team sport, one that comes with a built-in gut check.' Meanwhile, in an age of dating-app burnout where singles are craving real-life connections but aren't sure where to find them, a group-date scenario—however app-originated—could potentially make a first date feel less like an algorithmically generated job interview and more like a low-stakes hang where sparks can fly (or not) organically. According to a press release, the new feature has already proven popular among its target demo, with nearly 90 percent of Double Date profiles coming from users under 29 years old (the oldest Gen Zs are, like my Zillennial self, currently 28). Testing also found that the feature may be particularly attractive to women, who were three times more likely to swipe right on a pair than on an individual profile. As for how that's playing out in real life—well, as one TikToker put it, 'Everywhere I turn they release more tools for men to be absolutely heinous because why did they release a Double Date feature on Tinder? I do not need to be seeing more than one of you guys at once.' Anyway, whether this summer is destined to be the summer of double (or triple or quadruple) dates or Double Date is headed for the same fate as its Millennial predecessor, I think we can all get on board with anything that gets us out of the house and actually interacting with other people. Life's short, go forth and date (with friends!).

My Wildest Prediction: The podcast that dares to imagine the future with business visionaries

Stay at the forefront of the ever-changing business world alongside CEOs, tech disruptors, and entrepreneurs as they reveal their boldest predictions that have the potential to transform our world. On My Wildest Prediction, we not only have the courage to forecast the future but also engage in discussions about the pathways to reaching those predictions. Renate Nyborg was Tinder's first female CEO, but she left the popular dating app with a mission to use technology to combat loneliness. She is launching a new app, Meeno, that utilizes AI to help solve relationship problems. She also predicts that the future will involve fewer online dating experiences and more real-life encounters. In this first episode of My Wildest Prediction, Tom Goodwin discusses with Renate Nyborg her boldest predictions on love and chatbots. In a future dominated by driverless cars, will your grandchildren need a driver's license? Alex Roy, a former executive at Argo AI, a U.S. autonomous driving technology company, is also a rally race driver who asserts that autonomous vehicles are inevitable. However, he also argues that human driving will never disappear. How will these two predictions coexist? It's the most wonderful time of the year for retailers. With Christmas around the corner, shopping soars: groceries and drinks for dinners, toys, electronics for gifts, and clothes for events. It seems wild not to believe that capitalism is in perfect health... However, former Greek Minister of Economics Yanis Varoufakis not only believes it's in decline but thinks it's already dead. Who killed it? Well, according to him, Amazon and Alibaba, among others. In an age ruled by incessant screen time and with Pornhub, the colossal streaming pornography platform, valued at $97 billion, it appears audacious to propose that the era of viewing erotic content is drawing to a close. Yet, Caroline Spiegel has a different take. She has pioneered a female-first erotic app that encourages listening to, rather than watching, explicit content, stating, "Imagination is a truly powerful tool." Robots will build everything: our clothes, our food... but they will start by constructing our homes. This is Tesla veteran Russell Varone's wildest prediction. He's already providing a glimpse into this future. Varone is the co-founder and CTO of Diamond Age, a US-based company that has successfully constructed 25 houses using 3D printing and robotic technology. "It's not acceptable for a CEO to simply say, 'Well, I don't do marketing,'" says Ed Fidoe. That's why he is leading at a groundbreaking university aimed at cultivating well-rounded leaders. Fidoe is one of the minds behind the UK's first new university with degree-granting powers since the 1960s—the London Interdisciplinary School (LIS). He argues that specialising alone will fall short in a world grappling with intricate challenges like climate change and AI; instead, one must embrace interdisciplinary skills. In Silicon Valley, some say that the app Superhuman is the next frontier of work. However, its principle is not as futuristic as one might expect; there's no quantum, blockchain, metaverse, or whatever. Instead, it's addressing a very down-to-earth problem: email management. Something that eats away at our time and hampers our productivity. While flying taxis may still sound like science fiction, they are poised to become a reality before the end of the year. Volocopter's drone-shaped electric vehicles are ready to take flight in Paris, coinciding with the 2024 Olympic Games. Dirk Hoke, former CEO of Airbus Defense and Space, spearheads this groundbreaking initiative at Volocopter, a German start-up pioneering the introduction of electric air taxis to the market: the most disruptive revolution in urban mobility since the beginning of the century. Fed up with all the anger and noise on social media? Entrepreneur, futurist and author Dominique Jaurola believes that change is possible through the implementation of new structures for human engagement. Are you interested in trying a wireless headset that allows you to interact with digital devices simply by reading your mind? This isn't science fiction; it was invented over a decade ago by Australian entrepreneur, inventor, and businesswoman Tan Le. Her groundbreaking work in neuroscience has deepened our understanding of the brain's inner workings. Now, she predicts that we will all use neural interfaces in our daily lives, and they will resemble easy-to-wear headphones. Nikolas Badminton's work is the antithesis of mindfulness. He is a futurist and "hope engineer," renowned for delivering talks globally and mentoring high-level executives and government officials for over three decades. Given his expertise, we believe he is the ideal person to delve into discussions about the future and share his bold predictions with us. Audrey Tsang is the CEO of the app Clue. You might be wondering what Clue is, but over 10 million people in more than 190 countries use it religiously to track their periods. Clue is a trailblazer in menstrual health and femtech. In fact, the term was coined by its founder, Ida Tin. Tsang is here to tell us more about this revolution and her predictions for the future of health tech. Rhiannon Jones is a renowned creative and strategic futures specialist, known for her expertise in interpreting trends and formulating impactful strategies for startups and global brands across various sectors, with a specialisation in women's health. She co-founded Ultra Violet Futures with FemTech veteran Anna Butterworth, the first and only future forecasting agency specializing in FemTech and women's and marginalised health innovation. Scott Galloway is a professor of marketing at the NYU Stern School of Business, a best-selling author and an entrepreneur. With his wide expertise, he joins the podcast to share his thoughts on the connection between artificial intelligence (AI), youth and generational wealth. Bruce Daisley is a best-selling author on a mission to make work more enjoyable. Former Vice President of Twitter, Daisley is an expert on the future of work, helping companies improve workplace culture and productivity. In this episode, Daisley brings his fresh perspective to the podcast, offering insights that will resonate with many office employees. If you spend a lot of time in meetings but still feel disconnected from your company, this episode is for you. Nancy Xu is the founder and CEO of Moonhub, a US-based company specialising in AI-driven recruitment solutions. Xu offers a groundbreaking perspective on how AI is, and could, revolutionize the way we work by making the recruitment process less biased. Karoli Hindriks is the founder and CEO of Jobbatical, an Estonian company that helps employees relocate around the world. Hindriks was a key figure in the creation of the digital nomad visa, and she joins the podcast to share her wildest prediction on worker mobility, borders, and the future of passports. Rory Sutherland is the Vice-Chairman of Ogilvy in the United Kingdom, one of the world's most renowned advertising agencies. He is the author of several books among which Alchemy: The Power of Ideas That Do Not Make Sense, and of a fortnightly column in The Spectator. Known for his thought-provoking insights, Rory Sutherland joins My Wildest Prediction, to share his visionary takes on work, the housing crisis and the US economy. Susan Kahn is a business psychologist, a practitioner, and an academic, author of Bounce Back: How to Fail Fast and Be Resilient at Work. She joins My Wildest Prediction to share her boldest views on the future of work. Her conversation with Tom Goodwin revolves around the importance of actively listening in workplaces, being open about professional failures, and being a good leader. Bertrand Piccard can be regarded as the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry of the 21st century. An adventurous explorer, relentless innovator, and visionary, Piccard is a Swiss psychiatrist and aviator. In 1999, he piloted the first balloon to fly around the world non-stop. In 2016, he completed the first global circumnavigation in a solar-powered electric aeroplane. And now, he's leading the Climate Impulse project, working towards the first non-stop, hydrogen-powered flight around the world. Tara Chklovski is the founder and CEO of Technovation, a global non-profit empowering young women to tackle real-world problems through technology and entrepreneurship. Chklovski joins My Wildest Prediction to explain how technology and education can spark positive change in underrepresented communities. David Spiegelhalter is one of the world's most important figures in statistics. He's an emeritus professor of statistics in the Centre for Mathematical Studies at the University of Cambridge and he's the author of The Art of Uncertainty: How to Navigate Chance, Ignorance, Risk and Luck. Spiegelhalter is committed to making mathematics more accessible, and he joins My Wildest Prediction to talk about probabilities, how to deal with uncertainty and artificial intelligence. Dom Price is a work futurist at Atlassian, an American software company based in Sydney, Australia. With experience spanning technology, finance, and gaming, Dom brings a unique perspective to the future of work. As a sought-after media commentator and keynote speaker, he shares his insights on life, and the evolving job landscape, helping individuals and companies rethink their approach to success. Since predicting the future of work is at the core of Dom's mission, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to invite him to My Wildest Prediction. Greg Clark is a highly renowned UK urbanist. He is, among others, chair of the Connected Places Catapult, a board member of Transport for London, and a Chair of Places for London and 3Ci, the City Commission for Climate Investment.
