Similar to how explaining a joke ceases to make it funny, overkill in your dating profile can suck the intrigue out or a first encounter. Too much information can come off as overbearing, leave you with a conversation void on a first date, or simply take up way too much of your time and energy. Below are over 30 short dating profile examples and ideas for some short and sweet approaches to writing your bio that will help you knock this annoying task off your list and get you swiping sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approach 1: Keep It To The Facts
\n<\/strong>If you had to whittle yourself down to an elevator conversation, what would make the cut? Three to five quick and essential thoughts in your About Me will do the trick, so long as they\u2019re memorable enough for someone to remember you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Natural redhead, unnaturally good at limbo contests, hates seafood but loves goldfish crackers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Top 5 movies: Amelie, Se7en, Moulin Rouge, The Emperor\u2019s New Groove, Wet Hot American Summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. I have a twin brother, no he doesn\u2019t look like me, DO NOT EVEN ASK IF WE ARE IDENTICAL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. My #1 vacation destination is the Minnesota State Fair, and I don\u2019t understand why it doesn\u2019t make more appearances on Insider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. I majored in art. I work as a writer. One Art Degree for sale, perfect condition, $35,000 OBO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. I\u2019m afraid of heights, and I can\u2019t swim, so let\u2019s do some land activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approach 2: Pick A Fave And Roll With It
\n<\/strong>Is there a movie you know every line to? An album that shaped your entire adult identity? A hobby you turned into an Etsy empire? Share a quick blurb about it. Those who respond will find a huge part of your life intriguing, and that\u2019s a great place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. All I want is someone who can sing the Elephant Love Medley Duet from Moulin Rouge<\/em> with me. My sister could do it, but she always makes me be the boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. You haven\u2019t lived until you\u2019ve tasted a bacon peanut butter chocolate malt from Five Guys. If you\u2019d like to argue with me, I\u2019d be HAPPY to do a taste test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. I know every word of the ten-season run of Friends<\/em> by heart, and my next goal in life is to watch them en Espa\u00f1ol until I know Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. What\u2019s your favorite Jonas Brothers song and why? Mine is Good Night and Goodbye, and in the following dissertation I will explain in detail why they were the best boy band of all time. (cont.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Three years ago I started a book club. We mostly read wine labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. My mood is either the end of Monument Valley, or the end of Inside. Never in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Sriracha makes everything better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approach 3: Obscure References FTW
\n<\/strong>If you\u2019re not that into pleasantries and small talk, this is a great way to comb through the weeds when it comes to meaningful connections. Go with a line from a TV show that always busts your gut, a not-so-famous historical quote that you identify with, or a nod to your neighborhood\u2019s best kept secret, and those who get the reference are automatically in the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. 42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. People tend to overlook Vince Vaughn\u2019s most brilliant and nuanced work as \u201cLuke Zoolander.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. Do you think Postmates will deliver me a plate of chicken drummies from the Nan\u2019s menu circa 1994?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. I\u2019m more of a Russ than a Ross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. I shot first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. Oh to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves; let me forget about today until tomorrow\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approach 4: Lead With A Teaser
\n<\/strong>Some may call this click bait, but hey, whatever opens the door to conversation\u2026 Tell a joke, but leave out the punch line, post a pic of you with a celebrity and a caption alluding to the insane story, anything that comes off as quirky or intriguing will leave people dying to chat with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. I dare you to ask me what happened when I met Snoop Dogg at a wrestling event in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. Look I\u2019m not good at a lot of things, but I can do my make up to look exactly like Blanche Devereaux from Golden Girls, so we should go clubbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22. What\u2019s the best thing about living in Switzerland?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23. I have the greatest idea for an app of all time, please inquire if you\u2019re interested in investment opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24. A\/S\/L? \u2026No I don\u2019t want to know yours, I want you to guess mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25. Of all the things you could walk out of a Jonas Brothers Meet and Greet with, you wouldn\u2019t think it would be a banana. And yet\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approach 5: Let Your Social Do The Talking
\n<\/strong>Your social media accounts likely give a pretty well rounded view of who you are as a person, so skipping the cheesy intros and just linking to or referencing the one you\u2019re most active on cuts out the boring middle man. Plus it gives your potentials permission to stalk you, which, let’s be real, they were going to do anyway. At least this way, you own it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

26. Share your top pinned tweet\u2014It\u2019s usually the one that has gotten the most attention. Mine says \u201cI\u2019m tired the way old people are tired at the end of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

27. Link to your Instagram page\u2014fire selfies and all the delicious food you could be cooking for your future partner\u2026 it\u2019s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

28. Download and share a particularly good Snapchat story\u2014Nobody wouldn\u2019t<\/em> love a 14 second snap of your roommate\u2019s cat being a weirdo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

29. Share the results of your latest Buzzfeed quiz\u2014In case you were wondering, based on my favorite kind of bread, Ryan Gosling is my husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30. Link to your list of Twitter faves\u2014They\u2019ll get a good sense of what makes you laugh, your political stance, or whatever it is you choose to focus on on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

31. Share the latest Facebook-generated word cloud you made\u2014the center of my last one was my mom\u2019s name, which I know isn\u2019t that appealing, but it\u2019s a conversation starter to say the least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use any of these approaches or a combination to get you started on a short, but sweet dating profile bio, but no matter which approach you take, the key is to be warm, fun, and engaging. If you can infuse some humor or an interesting talking point into your description, people are going to want to get to know you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
