10 Of The Best Words For Men's Bios
The best words for a bio on dating apps include wine, pizza, dogs, and more. A study found 10 words that give men a boost if found in their profile.
This post share 10 of the best words for bios that can increase matches and responses to messages. Sprinkling a few throughout your bio may connect with women reading it.
Use these words in your bio.
According to a study, when 3 of the words below are in a bio, men get 30% more messages from women. The words are:
- Travel
- Gym
- Connection
- Wine
- Tacos
- Hike
- Foodie
- Pizza
- Dogs
- Concerts
Words are powerful, and the right ones can make your bio more effective. Choose three words above that you enjoy doing and add them to your bio.
Never lie about your interests by choosing words that aren't part of your lifestyle. For example, don't include hiking if you have hit a trail in a decade.
For dating apps with a lengthy bio.
Apps such as Match.com, OkCupid, Coffee Meets Bagel, and eharmony allow you to write a lengthy bio. If you use one of these (or similar) apps, don't just list the word - expand on it - give a few details.
A better way to think about it is to paint a picture of the interest so women visualize it. Painting a picture about why you enjoy something makes a fabulous impression and speaks to women reading your bio.
If it's difficult for you to describe something, a great tip is to answer the following questions:
- How
- What
- Why
Let's assume you enjoy traveling. You can't expect to connect with women by only writing the word travel in your bio - remember, give some details.
Keeping the focus on traveling, how do you write about it? A great way to kickstart your writing is by answering one (or all) of the following questions:
- How - Give examples of how you enjoy traveling.
- What - What do you enjoy about traveling?
- Why - Share why you love traveling.
Answering the questions above can definitely help overcome writer's block. If you love traveling, writing a sentence or two about it should be easy.
Here's an example of the word "traveling." Women love seeing a description like the one below:
Traveling to exotic places allows me to heal and take breaks from the regular grind. Is there anything better than lying on a beach with a cocktail in hand? I can't think of a better way to recharge the soul than the sound of the waves and the warmth of the sun.
For dating apps with a short bio.
Apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Badoo offer limited space for a bio. You can't (nor should) write long sentences about a topic.
The key for these apps is short sentences and sprinkling the words throughout your bio. Keeping it simple is the way to go on these apps.
Here's an example of a bio on Tinder. Note that I highlight some of the words in the bio.
Me: Active, spiritual, love hikes followed by fish tacos, mischievous, charming, educated, confident, seeking a connection, and more.
A pro tip is mentioning specific locations using words. Instead of tacos, write "Tacos at (XYZ)" or "Weekend concerts at (XYZ)." XYZ is a popular location in your area.
A single word in your bio can connect with women.
Prompts
When thinking of a dating app with prompts, most people think of Hinge. Other dating apps offer prompts - Bumble, Facebook Dating, and Match.com. OkCupid, and Coffee Meets Bagel are essentially all prompts.
You can follow either of the tips above in this post for prompts - give details or add the word. Below is an example on Hinge where three of the words are highlighted in yellow.
Words like hike, dog, and hike can boost your results on dating apps.
Final Thoughts
The right words can impact your results positively on dating apps. According to science, adding a handful of specific words to your bio can get you up to 30% more messages from women - that's huge!
Sprinkle a few of the words above into your bio and give details about it. You never know the impact one word can have.
