Tip: Give them something to talk about
It’s no secret that starting a conversation on a dating app can be hard. If you want to make things easier, give others some easy ways to start chatting. Put a question in your profile, something you’d like them to ask you, a topic that’s up for debate, or an icebreaker.
It seems odd to say this, but it doesn’t even need to be about you. If you pick a topic, say something silly, or ask a question, you’re showing your personality. In many ways, it’s much more powerful.
Trick: Greater than/less than
An easy way to create a profile that gets people talking is to use the greater than/less than trick. Simply create a list of things you could debate or have an opinion about with someone, and say which you think is best. And the more absurd or seemingly trivial, the better.
Your profile should show the weird and wonderful things about you. So, instead of telling people what your job is, or that you like to travel, get random. Want some other ideas: tacos < burritos, Friday nights out > Thursday nights out, National league > American league, Radiolab > Serial. The possibilities are endless!
Jessie, 26
First…
Car: 72 Super Beetle (bright orange with a horrible clutch)
CD: The Spice Girls ‘Spice’

Rachel, 29
Last…
Movie I saw: Isle of Dogs
Book I read: Zadie Smith’s essay collection Changing My Mind
Food I ate: A burrito

Malorie, 28
I’ve never…
Driven cross country.
Had a root canal.
Missed a friend’s birthday. (Really, I’m so good about birthdays. I love them.)
Met a New Pornographers fan I didn’t like.
Tip: Lists are your friend
If you want to make your description short, scannable, and easy to read, put together a list. It’s more eye-catching than a large block of text and makes your profile look a lot more approachable. Start with a small headline, then elaborate. Don’t forget to include those small details that spark conversation.
Trick: First and last
Another quick way to create a no-fuss but plenty of fun profile is to create a list of some firsts or lasts. Listing things like the last concert you went to, person you called, place you visited, or even what you had for lunch, gives people a sneak peek into what your everyday life and interests are like.
Feel like getting nostalgic instead? List off some firsts like first crush, first pet, first place you lived, or first book you loved. Hey, you can even mix them up and list your firsts and lasts together.
Jen, 25
About Me: I like to sing-talk, guys with messy hair, reading the New Yorker on Sunday mornings, and funny voices.
About You: If you’re still reading, that’s pretty good. Let’s do this.
Rosario, 26
All happy girls are alike; every unhappy girl is unhappy in her own way. My kind of unhappy is full of self-deprecating humor, double IPAs, and is actually pretty rad.
Let me know if you want to be miserable together.
Jocelyn, 28
I live my whole life setting up situations that will eventually lead to the phrase, “And then laughter and hilarity ensued…” Hoping this one will work out too.
Tip: Let your freak flag fly
The best Tinder profile examples for women aren’t afraid to get weird. There’re so many people and profiles on Tinder that it can be hard to try to get yours to stand out from the crowd.
Sticking to universal topics is okay but it won’t really help someone get to know your uniqueness. Don’t be afraid to get a little weird. Share a secret desire, an odd personality trait, or a habit. Whatever you do, be different.
Trick: About you/about me
Here’s an easy template for a Tinder profile example for women. Organize your thoughts into short about me/about you sections. List a few interesting details about yourself and then a few things about the type of person you’re into.
For example: About Me: I love stinky cheese, the smell of dog paws, and going camping by myself for my birthday every year. About You: You have a dog, know how to give as good as you get, and don’t mind crashing my (lack of a) birthday party. Try it!
Natalie, 29
The last guy who swiped left on me aged so quickly he shriveled up into an old man skeleton thing before he turned into dust and died a swift yet horrifying death.
He chose poorly.
Mel, 27
I’m very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. What does your apartment smell like?
Sally, 26
You should know that I hate old people, children, and dogs.
Actually, I love all those things but if you know what movie that line is from, we should go out.
Tip: Feel free to not say much
Since a Tinder bio goes along with your photos, don’t feel like you have to say a ton or write a novel to catch someone’s eye. In fact, it’s probably better that you don’t say too much. Keeping it short and sweet makes potential matches more likely to read your profile. Plus, it’ll keep them wanting more.
Trick: Obscure references
In many ways, we are the art we consume. If you have a favorite line from a movie, a quote from a book or speech, or an obscure joke that will make an interesting profile, try it out. Some people may not get it, but the people who do get it will get you.
Yin, 27
Grew up in the Portland, Oregon area. Survived middle school by becoming a skater kid (still haven’t grown out of it). Now I’m trying to pay my rent, play my music, and make my way.
Looking forward to going to Brazil in the fall. If you have any tips on what I should see, definitely let me know.
Fiona, 28
I love guacamole, the original Star Wars movies, laughing with someone in the corner of a crowded room, when the sun shines through my blinds in the morning (just not before 9:00 please), and new people who tell horrible jokes.
Oh, and I hate squirrels. Don’t let those little punks trick you. They’re just fluffier rats.
Maria, 25
“The girl doesn’t stop.” – My best friend Erin
“Excellent incisors. And she flosses.” – Dr. Dan, my dentist
“She’s not as crazy as she looks.” – My ex boyfriend Jake
“Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!” – Betty Davis from All About Eve
(Ok, so Betty didn’t say it about me, but it fits somehow.)
Tip: It’s ok to be a little cheesy
Do you like sunsets? Are you spiritual? Are you confused about life and your place in it? Go ahead and say so.
Chances are there’re other people out there who can relate to your experiences, so don’t be afraid to get real or even a little cheesy. Not every dating profile needs to be clever or funny to catch attention.
Trick: Fake reviews
We’ve all seen product reviews but another quick trick to creating a different kind of profile is the fake review profile. What would your mom say about you? Your ex? Your neighbor? Your 2nd-grade teacher? Writing silly, fake reviews for yourself can be a fast way to share more about your personality by going beyond the standard profile.
Writing a profile may seem tough at first, but use a few of these Tinder profile examples for women, see what works for you, and mix things up until you find a good fit. Or better yet, keep things fresh by switching it up now and then.
Different profiles attract different people, and there are no guaranteed winning Tinder profile examples for women. If you’re in the stage of dating where you’re open to meeting different kinds of people and going on different kinds of first dates, this is an opportunity to see who’s out there!
