How to write a profile that feels like you

The best bios are not the cleverest — they are the most specific. Instead of "I love travel", try "I once missed a train in Porto and it became my favourite day of the year."

Start with something real

Pick one story, one habit and one small obsession. A story shows personality, a habit shows how you live, an obsession gives people something to ask about.

Leave an opening

End with a question or an invitation: "Tell me your best street-food find." It makes the first message easy.

Keep it kind

Describe what you are looking for rather than what you will not tolerate. Positive framing attracts the people you want to meet.
