Cold Profile › answers
Two or three short lines. Long enough to contain something specific, short enough that it gets read on a phone. An empty bio is worse than a mediocre one - it reads as a bot or as no effort.
On most apps that means somewhere between one and four sentences. That is enough to show you are a real person with a life, and not so much that it reads like a cover letter.
Fixed the profile and still nothing? Sometimes it is the pool, not the photos - the same profile does different numbers on different apps. See which app suits you

A three-line bio of adjectives fails for the same reason a twelve-line one does: nothing in it can be replied to. Judge it by whether a stranger could write you two sentences without inventing a reason. If not, it is the wrong content, not the wrong length. A useful check is to imagine the laziest possible reply someone could send. If the bio gives them nothing better than 'hey', the content needs to change, and adding more lines of the same kind will not help.
One specific thing you actually do. One statement of what you are looking for. One hook - a mild opinion or an unfinished story. Everything else is decoration.
Put together, it can be this short: 'Weekend bakery shifts, weekday spreadsheets. Looking for something that lasts past the third date. Strong views on the correct way to load a dishwasher.' Three lines, and each one gives a stranger something to answer.
Too short usually means one word, a row of emoji, or 'just ask'. It saves you a minute and costs you every match who needed a reason to write first. Too long usually means a paragraph about values everyone shares - honesty, kindness, family - which pushes the specific details below the point where people stop reading.
The fix for both is the same. Cut anything a hundred other profiles could also say, and keep what only you could have written.
On Tinder and Bumble the bio sits in a short block with the photos, so the first line does most of the work. On Hinge the prompts do the job of a bio, and the same rule applies to each one - short, specific, answerable.
Whatever the app, read your profile on your phone the way a stranger would. Cut the line that makes you want to scroll.
Watch what your matches mention in their first message. If people quote or reply to something in your bio, it is earning its space. If every opener is 'hey', the bio is probably not giving them anything, and that is the line to rewrite.
Give a new version about a week before judging it, and change only the bio during that week. Otherwise you will not know whether the bio or something else made the difference.
