How to create a great dating profile

Last updated 2/15/2025

Profile photos

• Use recent, clear photos where your face is visible

• Include at least 3 photos

• Smile — profiles with genuine smiles get more matches

• Avoid group photos as your main photo

• Keep it authentic and specific to you

• Mention a few interests or hobbies

• Add a conversation starter or a fun fact

• Keep it between 100–300 characters

• Add at least 5 interest tags

• Be specific — "hiking in the Rockies" is better than just "outdoors"

• Tags help the algorithm find compatible matches

• Refresh your photos every few months

• Update your bio when your interests change

• Active profiles get more visibility in the feed
