5 Way To Create The Best Coffee Meets Bagel Prompts
Choosing the best Coffee Meets Bagel prompts will get you more matches with women. Prompts on the app should showcase your lifestyle, interests, and what you're looking for on the app.
You can choose up to 5 prompts on Coffee Meets Bagel, and I recommend doing the maximum. A balanced set of prompts is critical for success on the app.
Don't take your prompts for granted. Coffee Meets Bagel claims, "The top 10% of liked profiles were 35% longer than others" - women want to see effort!
This post shows how to create the best prompts on Coffee Meets Bagel. You'll discover how to keep women engaged and how the right answers can make you desirable to women viewing your profile.
1. The "I am..." prompt.
I recommend using this prompt at the top of your profile. Describe yourself in this section, focusing on attributes instead of things you enjoy.
So, write that you're "active" and "confident" vs. how you love hiking. We'll cover things you enjoy doing later in your bio.
Here's an example of an "I am" prompt I tested that performed well - "Active, confident, assertive, 100% classy, passionate about my health, dashing (yes, dashing), friendly, educated, and know the best spot in San Diego for fish tacos."
You'll probably notice the sentence, "... know the best spot in town for fish tacos." This sentence is a headline that can prompt women to message me.
The words you choose in your description are important. It's important the rest of your profile PROVES everything you say.
- If you say you're adventurous, use pictures that prove it (zip-lining, skydiving).
- If you say you're funny, insert humor in your other prompts.
- If you say you're healthy, write about your active lifestyle in other prompts and use pictures showing yourself hiking.
Don't choose words the rest of your profile cannot prove. I recommend brainstorming words that describe your personality, values, and lifestyle - Choose the best from this list.
When writing about yourself, always use positive words. Show confidence. Have some self-awareness and avoid sharing things that are red flags.
2. The "I like..." prompt.
In this prompt, share your passions, interests, and hobbies giving women more insight about things you enjoy. The "I am" prompt above describes who you are; this prompt is a continuation of it and describes stuff you do in your free time.
Anything you do is fair game to share in this section. It can be a favorite hiking trail or a guilty pleasure. You can mention a local spot for live music or a great spot for sushi.
Here's an example of my prompt: "Night hikes, running on trails, brown sugar Pop-Tarts, working around the house but learned the hard way to hire a plumber, spending time at the park with my dog, jalapeno margaritas, food from all cultures (the spicier, the better), anything on Amazon Prime Video that has zombies..."
You see below that Julie comments on the prompt. She liked my answer and focused on my mentioning, Pop-Tarts.
My prompt shares a lot of topics that can connect with women. It's not super-deep but gives enough information showing I'm a well-rounded guy.
It's important to share things you enjoy that women typically do. For example, wine-tasting will connect with more women than videogames.
Here are examples of things you can share in this section of your profile:
- weekend getaways
- concerts/dancing
- cooking/restaurants/favorite dish
- family/pets
- guilty pleasures
Pay attention to what you share in this section. Everything you include should appeal to women and give insight into you.
3. The "I appreciate when my date..." prompt.
This prompt allows you to describe the traits of the type of woman you want to meet on Coffee Meets Bagel. Describing what you're looking for sets you apart from the masses whose bio focuses on themselves.
Keep your description 100% positive. Don't write how you're "not here for games or drama" or tell women to swipe left for a reason - negativity instantly kills attraction with women.
Here's an example: "Is friendly, respectful, has a great sense of humor, doesn't mind sharing an appetizer (except for calamari... all mine!), enjoys flirting, talking, and is on time!"
Be honest about what you want, but avoid a huge laundry list of "must haves." Keep this section positive and light. Done right, it will help connect with women.
Women love a man who knows what he wants. While most men write they "don't know what they're looking for" or "will know when they find it," you're prompt can create an instant connection with women reading it.
4. The "What never fails to make you laugh?" prompt.
This is an excellent prompt to show your sense of humor. One of the best things you can do is make a woman laugh through a prompt.
Share a funny philosophy, a story about yourself, or something you find funny. Here is one talking about one of my favorite shows, Friends: "Ross and Monica doing "The Routine" on Friends. It still makes me laugh my ass off to this day."
All I'm doing is referencing a scene from Friends because it's funny. Any fan of the show will see this and respond, which is what happens below.
I don't recommend writing a joke or a long-winded story. Jokes lose their impact on a profile and a long story will bore women - Short and sweet works best.
Think of something hilarious and insert it in this prompt. Something as simple as referencing your favorite movie or show can motivate a woman to like your profile or send a message.
5. "The bravest thing I've ever done" prompt.
This is a good way to make yourself relatable with women who've done something similar. A great way to connect with women is through shared experiences.
Below is my prompt sharing something that many women can connect with; moving somewhere new. "Graduating college and moving from California to New Jersey for my first job. I didn't know a soul. An awesome experience and have fond memories... except for winters, humidity, and jughandles."
Anything in your life that you're comfortable sharing do so. Keep it recent - so if you're 45, don't write about something you did 20 years ago.
If you've had a life-changing experience, it's worth sharing. Below are a few examples of things that people classify as brave:
- Quit a job and starting a new career path.
- Doing something risky - bungee jumping, skydiving, etc.
- Traveling somewhere adventurous.
- Stepping out of your comfort zone to do something new.
Avoid writing silly answers like "online dating" or "joining Coffee Meets Bagel." No woman will respond to these answers because they are not funny, unoriginal, boring, and not brave.
Also, stay away from depressing topics or things that are negative. Like all prompts, keep your answer positive.
