Episode 2: First Impressions—How to Craft the Perfect Dating App Profile

In this episode, we talked to Kelly, a 27-year-old Los Angeles resident, about the ins and outs of dating app profiles. She's been using dating apps for years and has learned a lot about what works and what doesn't, and she’s here to tell us all about it.

One of the biggest challenges when creating a dating app profile is finding the right balance between being yourself and putting your best foot forward. You want to be authentic, but you also want to make a good impression. The prompts section of your profile is a great place to show off your personality and attract the right kind of people.

Another important aspect of a good dating app profile is the photos. It's important to choose photos that accurately represent you and your personality. Avoid posting misleading or unrealistic photos. As the hosts suggested, "just remove the obstacle if it might be one."

One of the biggest questions when creating a dating app profile is whether to use funny or serious prompts. Should you try to make people laugh or be more sincere? Kelly and the hosts discussed the pros and cons of both approaches. Some people prefer humor because it can help you stand out, while others believe that being sincere and genuine is more important.

Another frustrating thing about dating apps is ghosting, which is when someone stops responding to you without explanation. To deal with this, it's important to set realistic expectations and not get too attached to someone you haven't met in person. It's also important to remember that not everyone you match with will be a good fit.

It's also important to be patient. Finding the right person takes time. Don't get discouraged if you don't find a match right away. Keep trying and don't give up on love.

By following these tips, you can create a strong dating app profile that will help you find the right person. Remember, be yourself, be patient, and have fun!
