How to Write a Bio for a Dating App?

Dating app bios are short—often 100-500 characters. Be specific instead of generic: 'I love hiking' is forgettable; 'I've done 14 of the 46 Adirondack High Peaks' sparks conversation. Show, don't tell: a dry sense of humor works better stated through a line than claiming 'I'm funny.' Avoid negativity or long lists of deal-breakers. One or two interests plus a hook (question, prompt, or joke) usually works. Authenticity matters more than impressing—you want someone who likes the real you.
