How to Sound Interesting on Dating Apps

4 min read

Be specific instead of generic

"I love to travel" tells someone nothing. "I spent three weeks eating my way through Oaxaca last year" paints a picture. Specificity is the fastest way to sound interesting because it gives people a mental image and something to ask about. Replace every generic statement with a concrete example.

Show opinions and personality

Do not be afraid to have a take. Saying "pineapple belongs on pizza and I will defend this to the death" is more engaging than playing it safe. Mild controversy and humor make your profile memorable. The goal is not to appeal to everyone but to strongly attract the right people.
