“My greatest strength”: 3 golden rules to avoid sounding arrogant.

Name one of your turn-offs. I’ll go first: I hate it when someone is trying to spit game at me and all they have in their arsenal is arrogance.

And from what I’ve seen online, many Hinge users seem to agree with me in this area, which is why I’m going to show you 3 rules on how to appear humble, yet cool while answering this prompt.

Rule 1: Throw in a little joke.

For instance, if you want to show off your body strength, you can say something like “My greatest strength is actually my overall physical strength…until I’m asked to open a pickle jar.”

This way you’re showing off your gains without making Hinge users roll their eyes at the back of their heads.

You can even be sarcastic, or take a weakness and try to humorously pass it off as a strength instead.

Rule 2: Avoid superlative adjectives if you aren’t going for a funny approach.

Humility is more attractive than conceit, hence I suggest you avoid using the superlative if you want to talk honestly about your real, greatest strengths.

So if you pride yourself on your running record, avoid saying something like “I’m the fastEST person you’ll ever meet.”. Usain Bolt is the fastest human alive, so you’d sound ridiculous on top of pompous.

Rule 3: Do not come across as materialistic.

What is meant by “My greatest strength” is not material gain: money, cars, land, etc., although I get why many resort to this tactic. I suggest you boast more about the “inner” you, in other words:

• Kindness;
• Creativity;
• Empathy, and other similar traits.

But don’t worry! You can stay humble AND be fun with this prompt with one of RizzBio’s answers. Pick your favorite (or generate one) to stay on top of your prompt game.
