Sometimes coming up with a Bumble bio is the last thing you want to do. You log in to the app, you’re ready to start meeting people, but then you get stuck staring at that little About Me box with it’s blinking black cursor at a complete loss for what to say.

The thing is, it doesn’t have to be that hard. While some apps have long bios and profiles with multiple sections and questions, Bumble takes a more simplistic approach. And the truth is, you really shouldn’t spend too much time on your Bumble bio anyway. It just needs to reveal enough about you to make someone want to learn more.

A lot of users, particularly on swipe apps like Tinder and Bumble, seem to think that providing a slew of 'fun facts' in their bio is the key to profile success. But this isn't necessarily the case. By day/by night bio Nobody is any one thing, and that’s why the by day/by night bio works well. It’s a way to show two sides of yourself, what you do for work and what you do for play. It’s kind of like the mullet of dating profiles. Business in the front, party in the back.

Here are some of the best Bumble bios along with some quick writing tips and tricks to help you create a good profile as quickly as possible:

1. Greater than/less than bio
Want to start more conversations from your Bumble bio? The greater than/less than trick might be for you. Simply list out sets of things you could debate with someone, and say which you think is better. It’s a way to show who you are and also provide whoever’s looking at your profile with some conversation topics.

Examples:

Eric, 25
City life < Country life
Savory > Sweet
Black Panther > Any other superhero movie ever
RadioLab > Serial

Tracie, 27
Cold pizza < leftover Chinese
Flannel shirt > a hoodie
Sunday Funday > Thirsty Thursday

2. First and last bio
Here’s a no fuss bio type to try out—first and lasts. Let people know the last movie you saw, book you read, person you looked up to, vacation you went on, or time you hurt yourself. It gives a fast view of who you are now, without giving everything away. Instead of saying lasts, you can flip it too. Get nostalgic instead and say your firsts—first date, first trip, first job, or first word. The more specific and oddball the better.

Examples:

Olivia, 32
First…
Crush: Joey from Blossom (Woah!)
CD: The President’s of the United States of America
Job: Interning at the mayor’s office, it was actually pretty great
Words: Ut oh (I used to throw things on the floor and say, “Ut oh!” So after that my parents called me an ut oh baby.)

Drew, 28
Last…
Place I visited: Seattle for a friend’s camping wedding (epic)
Book I read: The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood (also epic)
Thing I ate: Poke from Pacific Catch that I probably eat three times a week
Time I was humbled: The day my friend Jeff went to basic training

3. About me/about you bio
Another fast format, the this bio type is where you list details about yourself, contrasted with details about the type of person you’re looking for.

Examples:

Jesse, 38
About Me: Works hard all week so I can take off for the mountain on the weekend, loves my dog Eddie, loves to argue on first dates, isn’t afraid to make a fool of myself on a dance floor.
About You: Love adventures and the outdoors, understands me when I’m hangry, isn’t afraid to talk politics, is down to watch all three Back to the Future’s with me.

Lana, 32
About Me: I love any movie where they spontaneously break out into song, can only eat three pieces of pizza (every time I go for four I regret it), and probably work too much.
About You: Doesn’t give me too hard of a time about working too much, is down to wait in line for an amazing brunch, and understands that the best part of the burrito is the butt.

4. Three simple things bio
Another list format to play around with is the three simple things profile. Just share three completely random things about yourself.

Examples:

Fred, 40
I drink massive amounts of coffee, love anything ridiculous or bizarre, and will shamelessly use my dog to flirt with you.

Leah, 23
Halloween is my favorite holiday, Empire Strikes Back is my favorite Star Wars, and I once drove cross country with my best friend, a basset hound, and a pug.

5. One smartass comment bio
There’s something intriguing about a profile with a single comment that catches your eye.

Examples:

Maddie, 23
A group of ferrets is called a business. So when someone says they’re taking care of business, they’re really just taking care of a bunch of ferrets.

Eric, 27
I talked about Fight Club.

Amie, 32
Still upset that the word ratify doesn’t mean to turn something into a rat.

Dan, 24
Not to brag, but I’ve been told I’m a fine one to talk.

6. Obscure reference bio
Have a quote from a song, movie, TV show, or other piece of life or pop culture that you love? Use it!

Examples:

Peter, 37
I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.

Brianne, 32
I want a guy to say bless you when I sneeze.

7. List of likes bio
So ok, you’ve probably seen this profile before so it’s not the most unique, but done right it can be pretty damn effective. To reduce the risk of sounding generic, stay away from obvious things like hiking, traveling, and your friends and family. Instead list the random, weird, not-so-obvious things you like.

Examples:

Liz, 32
I like…
The Frito smell of dog paws.
When I randomly decide to call an old friend and they say, “I was just thinking about you!”
The way little kids get grumpy and confused when they’re tired.
That moment I get that Bumble BOOM! message, and know someone I liked is into me too.

Ray, 30
Eating ice cream from the carton with a big spoon, when it’s a big holiday weekend and it feels like the city is empty, Romantic poetry (that’s right, capital R not lowercase), poop jokes and Adam Sandler movies. (What can I say, I’m super sophisticated.)

8. By day/by night bio
Nobody is any one thing, and that’s why the by day/by night bio works well. It’s a way to show two sides of yourself, what you do for work and what you do for play. It’s kind of like the mullet of dating profiles. Business in the front, party in the back.

Examples:

Beatrice, 34
UX designer by. Professional cat cuddler and semi-pretentious bibliophile by night.

Raul, 31
Sales director by day, indie music lover and garage band member by night.

Most Tinder users agree that a profile bio is a key factor, determining whether potential suitors will write to you or not. Typically, guys and girls are looking for a hook to start a conversation exactly in an About Me section. In this article, you will know not only how to make an attractive Tinder bio, but how to leave an appealing icebreaker in your self-description to encourage them for communication.

But before, let’s find out the types of Tinder Bios. Actually, they fall into the next categories:

1. Simple tinder bios
2. Good tinder bios
3. Creative tinder bios
4. Funny tinder bios
5. Witty tinder bios

Simple Tinder Bio Examples

Short self-descriptions or simple bio are generally found on Tinder. Of course, most information about a person remains in the background, and a short bio does not always allow one to hook on communication. But I prepared a pack of simplest (and shortest), yet very effective Tinder Bios that will help you tell a story about yourself.

Example #1

Mary, 30

Love my life, join me ?

What I like:

? Las Vegas

?singing

?dancing

✈️traveling

? learning new languages

? meeting new people

Adam, 24

Looking for some positive moments, adventures and fun ?

Tennis ? ? books ? traveling ✈️ hanging out ?? journalism ? skiing ?

Tips: Including some Emoji into the list of your hobbies allows profile viewers to instantly know about your lifestyle without reading a long self-description. Note: if you have many interests in life, do not enumerate them all, but mention just some of them and not more than 7 – nobody wants to waste time on long and boring reading!

Very often I noticed that profiles look like sets of random words or just piles of unrelated tags. However, a profile in Tinder has nothing to do with pictures on Instagram, under which you need to put as many tags as possible to reach to the audience. This trick simply doesn’t work on Tinder.

Example #2

Bella, 25

Explorer, dreamer, idealist. Someone interesting??

Looking also for a travel companion??

Sam, 30

I am cheerful, sociable, and with a very fine sense of humor ?

I hope to find a serious relationship here. ?

Tips: These short descriptions provide an immediate answer to two major questions: “Who am I?” and “What goal do I pursue here?”

What I would like to add from the first example is hobbies. In my opinion, then it would be a very bright Tinder bio.

Good Tinder Bio Examples

I saw a good many of different Tinder bios, and now I can distinguish 3 main principles that would help you compose an effective and appealing Tinder profile. Therefore, I want to ask only three questions to help you sketch out a good Tinder bio, while real-user profile examples will serve you to complete the missing details in your own About Me part:

1. What do you value in people, in life, and what do you value in yourself? – Here you can speak about the traits of character, positive habits, things that inspire/delight you, etc.
2. What are your hobbies? – Mention here your favorite amusements which can keep you busy for hours without a break or things that delight you most.
3. What is your goal? It helps your interlocutor understand what kind of person you are looking for on Tinder, thus, saving the time of you both. Are you searching for a friendship, serious relationship, virtual communication or a cool company to hang out with?

Example #3

Kate, 25

Did you ever meet someone when you can talk for hours and lose track of time?

I’m not looking for a relationship or 1-night thing. I’m looking for a great person to enjoy an evening together ?

I love chocolate, coffee, books, long walks, sincere conversations

My favorite movie is The Green Mile

My favorite band is Coldplay

The day when I get a dog will be the happiest day of my life.

Alex, 25

Adore everything new, interesting, and exciting. Cannot imagine my life without entertainments and having fun. I believe that all happening to us is not by accident. Everything is interconnected in this world.

Psychology, science, and art are what helps me to learn the outside world and myself.

Travelling, adventures, extreme sports are also an integral part of me, but I like watching and admiring extreme sports rather than doing it ?

Would like to find a smart girl with a proactive attitude with non-banal views and beaten interests.

Example #4

Helen 27

I never stop improving myself and appreciate this quality in people!)

I think that the environment plays the most important role in one’s life because it, in particular, influences the way we think, and, in general, determines our worldviews. That’s why I prefer to communicate with people who can keep an interesting conversation flowing.

I have my own goals and I strive to achieve them)) It’s important for me to find a man whom I will be inspiring to reach more together, to enjoy life, and build a close-knit family!

Mike, 26

? Life and know the value of time, both mine and people’s around me.

Adore walking in the fresh and admiring beautiful panoramas ?

Interesting Dating App Bio

? Books and dogs

185 cm tall

Tinder

I would like to meet: a merry, cute, and sociable girl with an excellent sense of humor who needs only a couple of funny stories and a delicious latte to feel good. ☕

Cycling adds +100 Karma points

Example #5

Anna, 25

Like traveling, reading, photography, surfing, walking and ocean ?

French music, grilled tomatoes and red wine ?

Believe in karma, love, peace and happiness?

Looking for long term relationship ❤️

Chris, 27

Speak 4 languages, love travels, nice food and wine. I am interested in architecture, art and history (I am little bit historical nerd but it’s very helpful during travels) + also, like books, cinema and tv-series.

Generally, I am an easy-going, seems like smart guy with a sense of humor who doesn’t mind to meet here someone for chatting, friendship or maybe something more.

Tips: In my opinion, the “values + interests + goal” formula is the quickest way to success, because you do not waste time on the app but find precisely those people who have similar interests and views of life.

Good Tinder bio lines help you understand what kind of person you are dealing with and what goals they pursue: to found a family in future, to meet a person for long-lasting relationships or just to find someone to chat with.

If standard Tinder Bio stories seem boring to you, or you would like to stand out of thousands of profiles and break trivial patterns, then try to think outside the box and create a really attention-grabbing self-description.

Example #6

Kris, 19

I’m looking here for a guy to communicate on Tinder for a whole year. In the meantime, we will get so many followers on Twitter as nobody did before. People will repost our conversations, and our names will be the most popular hashtags on social networks. Our ultimate goal will be to get on the main page of Buzzfeed with an article telling about how we met. When the whole world knows about us, Tinder managers will offer to sponsor our wedding, and accompanied by the R. Kelly – I believe I can fly song, we will go for a honeymoon trip.

James, 24

My perfect date night is when I pick you up in my car. You start thinking: “it’s so dangerous to get into a stranger’s car…” But you love danger and speedy drive, that’s why you will get in.

We will go to a posh restaurant and have a fantastic candlelight dinner. Then we come outside and see my car is on fire.

You will say: “Oh God, James, your car is on fire! What are we going to do now???” And I will look into your beautiful eyes and kiss you passionately, in front of my burning car.

Tips: A creative profile has a 100% chance to draw much attention of potential matches, because, according to my estimations, such bios are very rare, say one in 300 profiles. This means that even if you spend an extra hour inventing something really extraordinaire, you will finally sell yourself effectively. Moreover, it could happen that your story would make it to the front page of Buzzfeed!

Funny Tinder Bio Examples

Having a funny, joyful, humorous bio is a fad on Tinder today. First, many people register on Tinder just for fun. Second, funny Tinder bios set for a positive perception of the acquaintance process. Third, such biographical profiles help build easy and pleasurable communication.

Example #7

Karen, 27

I’m looking for a handsome guy only to have beautiful kids. I do not do it for myself, but for my children solely.

John, 25

A lonely blonde man, 187 cm tall, with large green eyes, Apollo body, and a pleasant tenor voice sells kitties cheaply 🙂

Example #8

Mary, 24

Dating App Bio Ideas

Love intrigues and adventures.

Eating pizza must be the second thing you like doing in bed.

Thomas, 22

My T-shirt looks like a T-shirt of your next boyfriend.

Tips: A hilarious Tinder bio proves that you have a good sense of humor, which is always welcome on Tinder. A funny self-description brings out positive emotions in a person who reads it, prompting him or her to start a conversation. Users will write to you first in 5 out of 10 cases if your bio makes them crack a smile.

Witty Tinder Bios

Funny Dating App Bios Female

For many, witty bios might look difficult to comprehend. Even if you use a statement of some famous person or a quote from your favorite movie in your bio, people may still not understand what you mean by telling that. Here are just some examples of such quotations:

1. What a pleasure it is to be alone! And what a pleasure it is when there is someone to tell what a pleasure it is to be alone…
2. A good man is as strong as his woman needs him to be strong.
3. A real woman does not agree the first time. A real man never offers twice.

Tips: My experiences show that witty bios are not as effective as funny. This is due to the fact that the Tinder app originally was designed for dating, and the easier it is to start a conversation, the quicker the results. And what can be better than having fun together?

You, probably, often notice that Tinder users are reluctant to open a conversation. It is a common situation when they do not have any self-description and single selfie. How to start a conversation in such a case? Only banal “Hello” comes to mind.

That’s why I found a very simple, yet very effective way to help Tinder users take the first step in communication – an open-end question in your Tinder bio! When users study your profile and notice such a question, it will work like a prompt to communication.

Example #9

Margo, 20

I’m a kind, sociable and curious girl ? I decided to learn Spanish without tutors and I succeed so far! ?? Doesn’t it prove that I’m dedicated, too? ?

I dream of playing the major role in a drama theater. And what is your dream? ?

Mike, 23

I love reading and traveling. Open to new acquaintances. I prefer real-world communication to long online chatting. Next time, I’m going to Miami and where would you like to go?

Tips: Seldom did I meet Tinder bios with open-ended questions, so that it was quite a challenge to detect such profiles. There is another trick that works – you can periodically change a question in your bio. And most important: you can ask such questions which encourage your readers to act. For example, “Let’s go to the movies for a premier tonight?”, “Would you like to go to a skating-rink?”, “What about cycling?” or “Let’s have a picnic out of town?” By doing so, you propose to spend time together nicely and increase your chances to find like-minded people, too.

Bottom Line

Funniest Dating App Bios

Don’t be afraid of experimenting with your Tinder bio, and then you will find the perfect concept that would suit your lifestyle, goals, and interests. Based on my observations, exactly creative Tinder bios and funny Tinder bios are the most popular with the users of this dating app. Practice shows that creative or funny Tinder bios produce a positive impression about your personality, which means that your profile will receive Likes or Superlikes much oftener.
