A simple three-part bio
- Anchor: one recognisable detail from your normal life.
- Contrast: a second detail that adds range.
- Opening: a question, recommendation or small plan.
Example: “Weekdays usually end with a run by the canal or dinner with friends. I make an unnecessarily serious mushroom risotto. Tell me the place in town you never get bored of.”
Examples for different energies
“Bookshop browser, slow Sunday cook and the person who reads every museum label. Looking for someone kind who has a favourite corner of the city.”
“I organise the hike, bring the snacks and stay for one more drink. Currently trying to learn salsa without counting out loud.”
“Life is good and I would like to share more of it. I value clear plans, affectionate people and conversations that wander.”
Replace adjectives with proof
Instead of calling yourself adventurous, mention the last thing you tried. Instead of saying you are funny, include an observation that shows your humour. Instead of “family-oriented”, name the ritual you protect.
The best bio is flattering and true at the same time. It should make meeting you easier, not manufacture a more impressive character.
A ten-minute edit
- Remove apologies and complaints about dating apps.
- Cut generic lists that appear in your photos already.
- Add one detail that can become a first message.
- Use words you say in real conversations.
- End before the text becomes an autobiography.

How long should an about-me section be?
Usually 40 to 80 words is enough to create texture without becoming work to read.
Should I mention what I want?
Yes, in plain language. A warm sentence about the kind of connection you want is more useful than a list of requirements.
Is it okay to use an example?
Use the structure, then replace every detail. The finished version should only make sense for you.
