Which Hinge Prompts May Compromise Matching Frequency?
Hinge has 80+ prompts, and not every single one produces successful results – as a matter of fact, there are some you should avoid for multiple reasons:
- Showcases negativity;
- Stunts creativity;
- Bland, etc.
Let me give you some examples!
→ Avoid the ”I’ll pick the topic if you start the conversation” if…
You are a go-getter because this prompt may give your matches the pressure of initiating a conversation.
→ Avoid the “Biggest risk I’ve taken” if…
You haven’t taken any *real* risks. Hey, no shame in that, but using a different shortcut on your way home doesn’t count.
→ Avoid the “I’ll brag to you to my friends if” if…
You don’t want to be forced into giving an answer that’s either too cliche or too specific. It’ll drive matches away regardless.
→ Avoid the “When I need advice, I go to” if…
You want to keep the topic focused on you or your match. Why would you want a third entity involved? How would matches even approach it?!
→ Avoid the “How to pronounce my name” if…
You have a common name. It just doesn’t work in grabbing matches’ attention unless you have a super-duper unique or foreign name.
These are only some examples that not everyone may relate to. Your goal is to make the most out of your personality and not pretend to be someone you’re not. Ditch what’s popular if it doesn’t speak to you.
Or better yet, let experts over at RizzBio decide which prompts & answers for girls AND boys you should pick based on your personality. A sure way to boost matches for our guys!
