A well-completed dating profile is your key to making a great first impression. Most people decide to like or skip a profile based solely on its photos and shared personal info. Follow this guide to ensure your profile grabs attention and leaves a positive impact.
How to achieve a 100% profile completion
Start by navigating to your profile and tapping the completion percentage under your name. If your profile is fully complete, congratulations! If not, follow these steps to get to 100%.
-
Create your profile (+15%). If you’ve successfully registered, you’ve already earned these 15%.
-
Upload your photo (+25%). Share clear, recent photos of yourself. Avoid excessive filters and steer clear of adding text or contact details to your pictures.
- Confirm your email (+20%). Verifying your email is essential to ensure your account's security.

How to make your profile more engaging
Tap the pencil icon in the upper-right corner of your profile to access the "Profile Edit" page, where you can preview how your profile appears to others and update your information. Focus on these features to make your profile stand out:
- Write an "About me" section. Use humor, share a favorite quote, or describe the kind of partner you're looking for.
-
Add an icebreaker question. Choose from 16 fun and engaging questions for your potential match. These questions provide a unique opportunity for visitors to your profile to start a conversation with ease.
