Best tinder bios for guys

#1: The strong opener

If your photo bought you enough interest, the next thing she's going to do is glance at your profile. So your first line has literally seconds to grab her attention and make her keep reading. So if there's something amazing about yourself that you want to share, go for it. But for most guys it's a good idea to aim for a clever Tinder bio, at least when it comes to the opening line.

• "Widely considered the bachelor of the month."

#2: The good writer

Some folks will rely heavily on emojis and other visual tricks to come up with a good bio, but if you're a good writer — show that off! Maybe it's sad that spelling and grammar are a selling point, but they can be hard to find on a dating app. So if you're a smart guy looking for a smart girl, this is your chance to show off. While you're at it, maybe even drop a reference or two to a book you've read recently.

• "Will die by the Oxford comma, and Strunk and White lives on my desk."

#3: The music lover

On the other hand, if words aren't your strong point, let other people do some of the work for you. Song lyrics are a perfectly respectable way to put together a good Tinder bio. In the poetry of our times, a meaningful lyric can really improve your dating game. Think carefully about the message you want to send before choosing what to include, and consider changing out your chosen bio lines if your first attempt doesn't get the results you're looking for.

• Go with a classic, "If You Want My Body, And You Think I'm Sexy, Come On, Sugar, Let Me Know."

#4: The serious relationship guy

Tinder might be known for hookups, but that's not the only thing you can find there. If you're interested in something more serious, say so! It's a great way to get a girl's attention. (As long as you're being honest!)

• "Looking forward to deleting Tinder together."

#5: The dog lover

People take their pets seriously so if you're an animal lover, you'll want to say so! Try proposing a date to the dog park right in your Tinder profile. Believe it or not, bringing pets along on the first date can be a great selling point. It can feel safer and more casual than going out for drinks, and dog parks are usually full of other people which can also make them feel more comfortable.

• "First things first, let's make sure our dogs get along."

#6: The active person

Depending on what part of the world you're in, you might find your local Tinder users all share pictures of their rock climbing, hiking, or surfing adventures. If that's you — great! One easy way to get more matches is to advertise your interests and find people interested in the same things.

• "Looking for someone to teach me to surf."
• "I need a belay partner — could that be you?"

#7: The funny guy

Are you the jokester of your friend group? Then maybe some funny, guy Tinder bios are the way to go for you. It can be tricky to get a good laugh online, but if you can pull it off, and show you've got a good sense of humor, you've just gone a long way towards getting yourself a date. Given the length of space available, it can be tricky to come up with short funny tinder bios — so don't use the kind of joke that relies on a long story. Instead, get your laugh in quick and make it clear there's more to come on a date.

• "Looking for a new ex girlfriend"
• "Help me make my friends jealous."

#8: Witty Tinder bios

If you're hoping to write a clever bio in order to find a good match, you'll need to put your thinking cap on. A lot of people are looking for the best Tinder taglines and that means you'll need to stretch your creativity in order to come up with something unique.

Here's a great example:

• "Not going to call myself a 'good guy' but I'm better than your ex."

#9: Cheesy pickup lines

Online dating has brought back the art of the pickup. Lines that would fall flat in person now work online when they're delivered ironically.

• "My friends call me Windows, can I crash at yours tonight?"
• "I know a lot of girls are avoiding refined sugar — can I offer you a date?"

#10: Flirty Tinder bios

Finally, if you're looking for Mrs. Right Now instead of Mrs. Forever, you might want to set the tone right from the beginning. The best bio for a casual date or hookup makes it clear what you're looking for, without making you sound like a creep. After all, you don't need to spend your entire life with someone to still be respectful. Here's one excellent example:

• "I know the best place in town for a good Mai Tai, and conveniently, it's my apartment."
