Just an anecdote:

When I was single last time, I tried tinder for the first time in a very long time. Wrote a few interesting bios. Got some matches, nothing that sparked anything ultimately though.

Then I just changed my bio to (roughly translating from my language) “hey, I create stuff”. Just a few words, no real substance.

Got too many matches to handle, a few really hit off. and one of them I am sharing my life with still.

All this to say, it’s not necessarily important to have a great bio. Maybe it piques peoples’ interest more, even, if it’s very minimal and casual. Not sure what it was, could’ve been just fool’s luck, but just a perspective I thought could be interesting to know.

To add to this/sum it up: the more you have on your profile, the higher the chance it has a dealbreaker.

Think of it in twitter context. If it takes longer than ~7 seconds to read, you are losing half your audience.

Disclaimer: i'm single but have been making online dating profiles for 20 years. also i've never had a twitter and the stats i made up and have no proof or source behind them.
