3 Keys For Match.com Profile Topics
You must choose (and answer) Match.com profile topics to make your bio stand out. The topics are optional, but it's critical to fill them because they are an added way to show your personality.
When I say "topics," I don't mean things you add to your summary. Match.com offers you several profile topics that you can answer to, as the app says, "show your best side."
Match allows you to choose up to 3 topics. Make sure you choose 3 - don't use just one. Remember, you want to maximize your appeal to women reading your bio. The best way is to fill out as many of these as you can.
Why pick a topic in the first place?
To succeed on dating apps, you should always use whatever features an app offers to your advantage. Match.com topics are a prime example!
They stand out when on your bio. Women glancing through your bio will see them (below is an example). Notice how the topic draws the reader's eyes when viewing a profile.
Match.com displays profile topics in throughout your bio.
With the right choices, you can make your Match.com profile stand out significantly. Filling out topics can give you a huge advantage, so don’t ignore them. Here are three tips for Match.com profile topics.
1. Pick the right profile topics.
Match offers several topic choices, so you have options. Pick things that allow you to show humor and insert your idiosyncrasies. It's those little things that draw women to you.
You want topics that grab a woman's attention. Choose something fun, engaging, and not too serious.
Unless you're comfortable, I recommend avoiding controversial topics. You may turn women away. If you're passionate about something, it’s OK to choose any topic. But don’t choose a topic to rant about something – politics, for example.
2. Add depth to your profile topic.
Whatever topic you select, make sure to write as much as possible. Don't just write one or a sentence because it shows low effort.
As of now, Match allows you up to 150 characters in your answer. So, if you choose "Beach or mountain," don't write what shows on Match below, "Mountains with a beach." That's boring and generic.
Avoid short answers to your Match.com profile topics.
Instead, write, "I say, both! The beach is great, especially if cocktails are involved. But, I love the mountains too. A nice hike followed by a picnic is always fun."
My example is far better because it offers more information. Take the time and put some thought into your answer.
3. Make sure your answer is engaging.
It's a good idea to answer a question in a way that appeals to women. This means to answer a question using "inclusive" answers – things women want to do with a guy, namely you.
You want women picturing themselves doing things with you. If you answer a question about how a great night for you is reading a book or playing video games, women won’t get excited. These are topics you can do alone.
A better idea is choosing a topic that allows you to insert multiple activities. Write about your love of random Groupon adventures (as I do below), or maybe describe why you enjoy road trips and live music. When adding several fun activities, women will see how much fun you can be and are more likely to contact you.
Add depth to your answers - It helps you stand out.
Final Thoughts
Choosing profile topics on Match.com is a must! They are highlighted in your bio, so there's no reason to ignore them. Filling them gives you an added boost.
Lastly, make sure you put effort into your answers. Never use one-word answers or a single sentence. Inject your personality – use humor and make sure you answer in a way that appeals to women. A woman may contact you based on one, so keep that in mind.
