Throughout my time on Hinge, I’ve observed something rather interesting: people tend to ignore relationship-related prompts.
That’s because fun prompts like the “My simple pleasures” one are more approachable and less pressuring.
But no matter how good this prompt might be, it’s useless if you decide to give it a subpar answer…let me show you how to avoid this.

The “Specificity Scale”: How to avoid a generic answer.
Do you know just how many people I’ve seen answer the “My simple pleasures” best hinge prompts in the most generic way possible? It’s always something like:
– “Rubbing my shaved legs on clean sheets” or “Smelling fresh laundry”…you know what they sound like? Skyrim NPCs.
This prompt is a test of imagination, and you must strive for a reply that’s specific to you, which is why I’ve come up with the “Specificity Scale” as a guide.
- Level 1: Way too general.
These are the answers that will make matches groan and swipe left without a second thought due to how commonplace and uncreative they are. E.g.:
“Listening to music.”
- Level 2: Containing so and so details.
Level 2 specific answers contain a few more additional details that are used to distinguish your statement from others’, however, more info is in order. E.g.:
“Listening to R&B music on full volume.”
- Level 3: Very specific, ample, and exclusive.
Level 3 is the answers that expand further upon your initial statement. It contains info other than the obvious, and adds plenty of character and creativity. E.g.:
“Listening to R&B music on full volume while taking a hot bath after an excruciatingly long day at work.”
Distinct answers for the “My simple pleasures” prompt.
You must aim for Level 2 to 3 answers to captivate Hinge users. P.S. This doesn’t mean jam-packing your answer with unnecessary details.
For those who need some visual aid, let me give you over 50 funny, lively examples (for girls and boys) of how to answer this prompt.
