Examples of Conversation Starters: List of Good Tinder Prompts For Your Dating Profile, Questions to Ask & How To Respond, Answer Them. Tinder Profile Tips for Guys & Girls.
As an online dating profile consultant in San Francisco, I have reviewed and improved countless dating profiles, photos and bios over the years. While photos (particularly your main profile photo) will have the single biggest impact on your dating success, bios and prompts should never be ignored.
An incomplete bio or one-worded answers to questions can signal lack of effort or creativity. If you are serious about meeting people, don’t skimp on your questions and answers.
Creativity and humor are excellent ways to separate you from the masses and improve your status as someone who is interesting, unique and worth getting to know.
Sarcasm can seem cliche and be taken as a way to shy away from being original or putting out an unpopular opinion.

Tinder Bio Section, Tinder Profile – What Is A Tinder Prompt? Tinder Profile Text
The Tinder about me section is the free-form bio section of your dating profile. Since there are only a handful of prompts out there and most people are rather limited in their creativity to answer them uniquely, the headlines section of your profile is the best way to separate yourself from the crowd.
A good tinder bio will showcase creativity, confidence, quirks and appeal.
The Tinder prompt is a subtle nudge to get people to write more about themselves. Think of it as a conversation starter.

PRO-TIP: Use the prompts below to open up a humble brag or something random that is harder to do in the headline section above.
Tinder Profile Prompts, Tinder Questions And Tinder Prompt Answers
A good profile prompt on Tinder can inspire good creative answers as well as responses from potential suitors.
An unpopular opinion can stir up good conversation and banter while a bad prompt and answer can offset your good photos. A great prompt can invite an opening to be random, quirky, unique, insightful, bold, humble if done correctly.
A decent profile prompt and answer will make it easier for women to start a conversation and more likely to do so beyond a hi, hey or how are you.
Meeting them halfway with good photos with conversation starter environments and outfits as well as insightful answers will help immensely to kick off messages. Avoid these bad introductory lines.
Tinder offers many prompts to users on the app. They provide an easy out or opportunity to state an unpopular opinion or open up about something totally random.

How To Get Prompts On Tinder
To add a prompt, simply go to your photos and select ‘add a new photo’ in your profile. You will be prompted to then capture a photo on your camera, upload an existing photo from your gallery or create a new profile prompt.
You can delete profile prompts after you create them unlike Bumble. You can replace them by editing profile, add media then selecting ‘Create A New Prompt’. In the upper left of the colored screen there is a small circle with two lines where you can select other Tinder profile prompts.

Should I Use Prompts On Tinder, Profile Text Tinder, Dating Profile Questions, Tinder About Me
As many good prompts that exist on Tinder there are also some questions you want to be careful of (some examples of Hinge answers to avoid can be seen here on this Bingo card).
Answering a certain way can sabotage your profile or make you seem not so interesting, weird, or creepy. One-worded answers or cliches answers are likely to be ignored as they suggest low-effort, lack of creativity, inability to engage in witty banter or low energy.
Consider updating your profile photos, bio, captions, prompts and answers during this time with a dating profile critique and makeover: https://eddie-hernandez.com/online-dating-profile-critique/
Choosing a great set of prompts and having good answers to those prompts is a great way to get noticed on dating apps like Tinder but if you find messages largely ignored or get unmatched quickly, you may need to work on your opening lines and texting skills.

Tinder Feed, Tinder Loops (Updated 2020)
Tinder had a feature called Tinder Feed in which users could opt in to display updates to their profiles to matches. The idea here was to facilitate people having more prompts to message their matches.
The Tinder text prompts sort of replaced this feature as it provided more prompts to non-matches thus focusing earlier in the funnel for those that lacked substance in their profile otherwise. Similarly Tinder removed loops from user profiles earlier this year.
Tinder loops are 2 second video clips users can add to their profile. Those videos exist still and can be added to your profile the same way you add photos to your profile.
Users can select the video tab when adding media (upload from gallery) but have to crop and trim video to fit the square format and 2 second limit.
