Updating Your Dating Profile Over Time: How To Make Your Hinge, Bumble Profiles Better

Conversely, bios that lack energy, details, enthusiasm can be seen as dull, depressing or thoughtless. If you have a hard time writing about yourself, people will extrapolate that and assume you are like that in other aspects of your life.

With this insight, you are now ready to overhaul your online dating profile and can effectively reveal things about yourself more so than any list of adjectives can. With that said, be sure to limit these stories and do not write an endless novel about yourself – leave something up to the imagination and keep the stories short and sweet.

Like a resume, your dating profile is a living, breathing profile and reflection of yourself. You should always be updating it, getting feedback, getting new photos and adding details when possible.

Review the dating apps, check for new prompts that better suit your personality, lifestyle. Scour the internet (social media, friends, photos from social events and meetups) to see if there are new photos or photos you did not know about.

Add details, captions, conversation starters. Make sure to verify profiles and fill out the necessary fields. Sounding too vague can make you seem like you are hiding something, i.e. identity, unemployment. etc.

Hinge Profile Tips: How To Add Captions To Hinge Photos

There are many mistakes people make on dating profiles, and one of them is a lack of effort and conversation starters in Hinge profiles.

Go to edit profile, edit photos and click the three lines in the upper left corner of the photo. From there, the option to add location or description will appear. Listing something obvious like me at the park is rather boring and rather uninsightful (No shit Sherlock).

Adding a feeling, thought, reflection or interesting juxtaposition to the environment or setting can highlight your creative flair and ability to engage in witty banter.
