Honestly, the difference between my dating profile from last year and the one I made last week is like night and day, all because I finally stopped using group photos and wrote my bio in my own voice.
Ngl, after six months of zero matches, I got three genuine messages in the first 48 hours just from that simple change, so has anyone else found that being super specific about your own weird hobbies actually helps more than trying to seem 'normal'?

It filters for people who actually read profiles instead of just swiping on pictures. You attract folks who share your niche interest, or at least appreciate the honesty. That initial match has a real foundation instead of just being based on looks. It turns your profile from an ad into a conversation starter. The right person will find your specific weirdness charming, while everyone else saves you both time.

The filter idea works in theory, but it misses a key app design flaw. Most platforms heavily push the photo-first swiping mechanic, making reading a conscious extra step. You're not filtering for readers, you're filtering for the tiny fraction who fight the app's own design. That foundation is still pretty shaky because the system itself works against it.

Guess I'll just put "obsessed with collecting novelty erasers" in my bio then. See who's brave enough to match with that mess.
