Creating a good dating profile is ????? ???? ?????? ??????no less than an art, which explains Tinder's latest release. The dating app reveals what makes an optimal bio and profile, while displaying it through modern takes of well-known paintings.
Best bio for Tinder
The ideal bio is 15-45 words long, according to research of 1,000 18-24 year olds conducted by insight agency Opinium in July 2023. Nearly half, 45 percent, of those respondents prefer when their potential match is clear about what they're looking for in their bio. Users can use precious bio space to do this, or use the Relationship Goals feature to easily signal what they want.
