OK, so, you officially downloaded Bumble, picked out your best dating-app-friendly photos, and brushed up on some pickup lines. Now, it’s time to create the perfect Bumble bio. But where do you begin? If you’re stumped, we totally understand.
Creating a bio that stands out may sound like an intimidating task, but it’s super important you don’t half-ass this step. According to Bumble’s US data from April, “those who added a bio to their profile experienced an increase in their average number of monthly matches than members who didn’t,” a Bumble spokesperson says. Clearly, it’s important for a better dating experience.
But just because crafting a bio sounds intimidating doesn’t mean it has to be. Really, it starts with thinking about all of the things that make you you. With the help of a Bumble spokesperson, here are some tips and ideas on how to craft the best Bumble bio to score quality matches.
Tips on How to Write the Best Bumble Bio
Complete your entire profile first. Before deciding on what to include in your bio, Bumble recommends filling out the rest of your profile. Add to your “Interests,” “Basics,” and “Lifestyle” badges, which will give people an idea of who you are and what you’re looking for. Then, take a look at your profile and decide what about yourself is missing from it. Per the Bumble spokesperson, some of the most popular Bumble profiles included information on a user’s dating intentions, exercise interest, and zodiac sign.
Highlight the things that matter to you. The Bumble spokesperson said this will help to make sure you’re matching with people who share similar interests as you. For example, if it’s important you match with a fellow dog-lover, make sure you mention something about your own dog (or the type of dog you want). To stand out from the billion other profiles that mention a dog, don’t be afraid to add some spice to your profile. “Try to jazz your bio up a little by exaggerating your statements or cracking a joke,” the Bumble spokesperson says. Just remember, brevity is key.
Focus on the positive and not the negative. Bumble data shows that positivity is one of the most important traits for Bumble members worldwide, according to the spokesperson. Instead of listing out what you don’t want in a partner, hone in on what you do want. “Focusing on what you do like can be a much better way to find someone who ticks all your boxes,” the rep says.
Ask those closest to you what makes you special. Ask your friends or family what key things they think a date should know about you, the Bumble spokesperson suggests. “They won’t overthink it in the same way you might.”
Once you’re ready to write your bio, here are some ideas to get the juices flowing. Feel free to copy and paste, or tailor the below to your individual preferences and needs.
