Let's face it, most men find it difficult to describe themselves in a way that women will find tempting. Unfortunately, the majority of dating profiles miss the mark, and this can be a crucial component of online dating success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you're on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Match, or any other dating app, your profile is the most important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One wrong move and you're doomed to fail, with an empty inbox serving as a constant reminder that your profile needs some work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve researched this topic extensively to find out what makes a great online dating profile. I\u2019ve tested them out on Tinder<\/a>, OkCupid<\/a>, Match, Bumble<\/a>, and Hinge<\/a>, and scoured hundreds of profiles in pursuit of the \u201cperfect\u201d dating profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, I\u2019m going to share with you the best dating profile examples of men, and I\u2019ll be discussing what works and what doesn\u2019t work on the various dating apps. So, let's get it right and make your dating profile a success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Alexander, 27<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m looking for somebody to be a contestant on Bargain Hunt with. You have to be good though because I\u2019m not losing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tom, 31<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA geek at heart, I like everything from board games, comics, books,<\/em> and movies to technology, science, and various different franchises.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n James, 31<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCareer-driven guy looking for similar. If you like Netflix & food we\u2019ll get on well. Not the tallest 5\u20197\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Richard, 27<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy mom thinks I'm pretty cool, I'm sure you'll too.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I can juggle and backflip literally what else do you want\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Takeaway from Tinder:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What works:<\/strong> Short, engaging, slick, and witty bios that give a brief rundown of what you\u2019re all about\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n What doesn\u2019t work:<\/strong> Bios that are too long or too<\/em> short, and which are either too deep or too cliched <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a lot of friendly women on Tinder who would be up for chatting with you if you nail your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I like Alexander\u2019s because he\u2019s making a joke and showcasing his sense of humor. Yet by doing this, he\u2019s also showing us what he\u2019s also about. He likes his television, he likes a game and he\u2019s up for some laughs. It\u2019s the kind of light-hearted but informative profile that gets lots of results on Tinder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n James, meanwhile, is telling us what he\u2019s looking for, he\u2019s telling us his values (he\u2019s career-driven), and he\u2019s also showing us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What you need to take from this is that, in just 2-3 sentences, you have to drop your values, your interests, and what you\u2019re looking for into your bio and<\/em> you have to do all this while being light, positive, and playful. If you can do that, you\u2019re onto a winner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jake, 24<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCozying up under the blanket all day to jump out of a plane all alone, my weekends can swing either way.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m down for almost anything, anywhere. Deep discussions over <\/em>coffee & bright minds excite me. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Got delicious feasts & travel plans in your sleeves? I\u2019m your prisoner.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kyle, 29<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI absolutely love seeing how far rabbit trails take me. I am very curious about a lot of things and will dive head-first into the subject.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I usually end up surrounding myself in whatever it is until I am satisfied that I have learned everything I want to about it or see what other tangent it leads me to.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I like to bike most days down in Fish Creek and still enjoy the odd night to go see a movie or enjoy a drink and some delicious food.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n Evan, 31<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBarefoot, crafty, gardener \u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Polyamorous. I am interested in many kinds of relationships.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If the connection is good, I can warm up to physical intimacy fairly quickly but I like to connect intellectually and emotionally first. I\u2019m also super duper respectful and sensitive to your boundaries. (Duh!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just thought I would add that as far as physical attraction, I seem to be more interested in female bodies and feminine to androgynous folks and not so much into the very masculine.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jay, 26<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ll admit, I\u2019m a little old-fashioned. I open doors and like to go for drinks AND dinner on the first date. But it\u2019s all part of what makes me a gentleman.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m looking for someone who is always up for life\u2019s adventures but doesn\u2019t mind staying in and watching a movie when the weather calls for it. I try to eat healthy but I have a major weakness for pizza. Let me know if you want to go get a slice!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Takeaway from OkCupid:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What works:<\/strong> Honest, transparent, and real profiles that go deeper and really dig into what you\u2019re all about <\/p>\n\n\n\n What doesn\u2019t work:<\/strong> Lack of effort <\/p>\n\n\n\n I love OkCupid because it encourages people to really open up about themselves. It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re just looking for a friend or a long-term lover, you need to be honest and real on here. People don\u2019t judge you on OK Cupid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is OkCupid in a nutshell:<\/em><\/strong> It\u2019s a place where people go to make genuine connections with people who are on their level. To make these connections, you have to open yourself up on your profile. Otherwise, the people you want\/need to talk to, won\u2019t find you. There isn\u2019t really a limit to what you say on OKC, nor is there a word limit. Just say what comes out – what matters to you, what you truly desire. Don\u2019t be afraid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cihan<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy most controversial opinion is \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Han shot first.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Markese<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ll know it\u2019s time to delete Hinge when \u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I can\u2019t go a day without seeing you.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n Matt<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIdeal first date \u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Doing some type of activity outdoors.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Raffi <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe hallmark of a good relationship is \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Being honest.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Takeaway from Hinge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What works<\/strong>: Honest answers. A bit of humor never goes amiss, too<\/p>\n\n\n\n What doesn\u2019t work: <\/strong>Cockiness or answers that are clearly untrue <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019d say Hinge is the trickiest of all dating apps to get right because you\u2019re given a series of prompts and a very<\/em> short amount of space to write your answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And the thing is, the Hinge prompts you to receive are the exact same prompts as others receive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So how do you make your answers unique?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, you\u2019ve just gotta be 100% you. If, perhaps, a slicker version of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cihan, for example, is being himself but his answer – a reference to Star Wars – is kinda witty. It also acts as a dog whistle to fellow sci-fi fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Raffi, on the other hand, is being unequivocally honest. It\u2019s this kind of honesty that draws respect on Hinge – the \u201cdating app designed to be deleted\u201d – and it will also help you catch the eye of someone who shares your values and interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The trick is to not try too hard. Offer a witty answer here and there, but just be you<\/em>.

I laugh and smile a lot, and love someone who can make me do just that. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I love to travel and there are still so many places in the world yet to explore. My family and friends are really important to me and I spent lots of time with them.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nick, 35<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m friendly, perhaps a little quiet, but happy, looking for someone to spend time with, both out in town and in at home. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Contrary to the photos, I don\u2019t drink all the time \u2014 those photos were just easiest to find!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n Wjp83, 35<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI love traveling<\/em>, walking in the countryside, reading, games, films\/TV, music, Looney Tunes, and watching the footy. Usual really. Happy to chat to get to know you better.:)\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris, 31<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJust looking for someone genuine, honest, and loyal. Also tall dark and handsome \u2026 just to be cliche! I\u2019m over these dates that go nowhere. I want someone to prove to me the world is not a cynical place and there is someone out there for everyone.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Takeaway From Match.com:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What works:<\/strong> Short but informative bios that are cheery but upfront <\/p>\n\n\n\n What doesn\u2019t work:<\/strong> Jokey profiles and one-liners <\/p>\n\n\n\n Match.com straddles the line between Tinder and OkCupid. As such, when it comes to writing your profile<\/a>, it helps to have some of the honesty you\u2019d use on OK Cupid, but it\u2019s important that you pair it up with the brevity of Tinder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see from the profiles I\u2019ve picked out, the best ones are those that get to the point in terms of what the man is looking for. At the same time, the bios are positive and light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What we can also take away from this is that no one\u2019s wasting anyone\u2019s time with catchy one-liners of the type you sometimes see on apps like Tinder and Bumble. This is mostly because Match is a subscription service. If someone is paying to message you, they\u2019re taking this dating thing pretty seriously. For this reason, it\u2019s key that you list some of your interests on your profile, and it helps if you can state – as lightly as possible – what you\u2019re looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nathan, 27<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cATL>NC>NYC. Only child but my mom still confuses my name with the dogs.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dan, 24<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve been slapped by a wild bear and am often told I remind people of Ryan Reynolds, so I have that going for me.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n Peter, 25<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLooking for a new spirit animal. I was wrong about cats \u2026\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Philip, 24<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOutdoorsy, adventurous, but also ready to sit on the couch and watch Netflix while eating junk food. I\u2019ve been called a science nerd but look forward to a fresh opinion.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Takeaway From Bumble<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What works:<\/strong> Edgy profiles peppered with slick, witty one-liners<\/p>\n\n\n\n What doesn\u2019t work:<\/strong> Too much detail and openness <\/p>\n\n\n\n The best Bumble profiles<\/a> are pretty damn slick and look as though they\u2019ve been crafted by the writers of The West Wing. At the same time, they\u2019re often also informative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a look at Dan\u2019s profile. He seems adventurous & displays confidence, and yet he takes the edge off what could be construed as cockiness by writing \u201cso I have that going for me.\u201d He keeps it light and entertaining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Peter does that, too, by making a great joke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then there\u2019s Philip, who has enough self-deprecation and humility (which girls love) to say he\u2019s been called a science nerd – but is looking forward to a fresh opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can mix a bit of bite-sized info about yourself with a joke, you\u2019re onto a winner on Bumble. You can take help from our article Best Bumble Bios<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Takeaway: \ud83d\udc47 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed this article and that you\u2019re now in a position to craft better, more exciting dating profiles. This is going to take some time but you can use the ones in this article as inspiration. Just make sure to keep yours unique and don\u2019t be afraid to keep tweaking until you get this right. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you struggling to craft the perfect dating profile that will attract the women of your dreams?
