How to write a good answer that won’t chase matches away?

I went through a breakup years ago, and my sad self kept playing Glimpse of Us by Joji on repeat…if you have heard that song, you know what it means.

When you pick a breakup song that praises wanting your ex back, it will raise some eyebrows, and I’ve seen people on Hinge make the same mistake. I kid you not, this is a surefire way to get skipped.

RizzBio helps you prevent making the same mistake by generating appropriate prompt answers that will leave a good impression on matches.

As for this specific prompt, this is what RizzBio suggests:

No. 1: You may choose to specify the exact lyrics that bring the waterfalls—this differentiates your answer from others’ who might’ve chosen the same song.

No. 2: Give a bit of a backstory as to why this song specifically. How does it correlate with your past? Authenticity points +30.

No. 3: Avoid the billboards. Pick a sad song that truly resonates with you instead of going for whatever is popular at the moment.

No. 4: Consider a funny approach. I saw someone answer this with “Axel F – Crazy Frog”. A bit contradictory, but some appreciate this type of humor!

We all have a “cry-in-the-car song”—it’s no taboo. Wiping your eyes and nose while listening to it is normal. 

Answer with utmost honesty if you want to, or opt for a lighthearted approach by answering in a funny way, depending on the effect you want it to have.

Until next time, 

From the Earth to the Moon, 

RizzBio!
