“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.
Making a joke out of something never fails to take away from the seriousness of it all—this is one of the routes you can take.
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 > 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.”
BTW, 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.
Let’s face it…there’s no way you can make being materialistic sound humble.
My greatest strength:
1) Opening jar lids for the people I love. Literally why I even work out to begin with.
2) Making even the most ordinary sentences sound dirty.
3) Re-watching the same shows without ever getting bored of them.
4) The empathy I feel for others. I can’t listen to someone open up about something without feeling this pit in my chest.
5) Being able to raise both of my eyebrows one at a time. That’s literally it.
6) My fashion sense, honed by years of playing online dress-up games.
7) The fact envy is not part of my being. You’re doing better than me in life? Great! Keep doing what you do!
8) I would say my adaptability. You could throw me in a den of lions and I would find a way to fit in.
9) I can keep my nose out of people’s business. Pretty impressive, right?
10) My linguistic knowledge. I love picking sentences apart and digging up meaning.
11) I was able to quit smoking! Idk if it’s considered a strength or not, but I’m really proud of it.
12) People always tell me they feel comfortable opening up to me. Apparently, I give off good vibes!
13) My knowledge of fungi. If you ever go camping and run short on food, you can ask me which ‘shrooms are safe to eat.

15) I don’t know how and why, but whenever a crying baby sees me, they immediately stop.
16) I’m responsible AF. I’m that person in the friend group that makes sure everyone is wearing sunscreen.
17) My self-discipline for sure. Did you know I’ve been drinking at least 7 glasses of water consistently every day? Gotta stay hydrated!
18) My vocal range. I can imitate just about any cartoon character: starting from Bubbles from Powerpuff Girls, all the way down to Joe from Family Guy.
19) My dog always listens to me…the 15th time I tell him to sit down.
20) Probably my analytical skills.

26) I’ve gotten pretty good at pretending that avocados’ texture doesn’t freak me out.
27) I’ve got crazy high stamina thanks to regularly running away from my neighbor’s dog when I was a kid.
