Thoughtful responses to the “simple pleasures” Hinge prompt can give people an idea of your character, personality, interests, and activities. You can even use it to invite people to comment, match, and get your conversation started (raising your chances of getting a real life date!). Scroll through these dozens of examples to craft the perfect response for your profile.
How to Answer “My Simple Pleasures’ on Hinge
Think about how something you really enjoy makes you feel. Sit in the feeling, then try to assign words to the emotions and sensations. For example, if you love hiking, you could say Snapping twigs under my feet or Feeling at home in nature.

Guys, is it like, impossible to get matches recently on Hinge? I (23m) thought I had some good responses to my prompts but I've been having zero luck finding someone on this app so maybe it's time to refresh the profile. Any reccs on what prompts have worked the best for you? Are there any that I should absolutely avoid??
I advise people to stick to three prompts. The reason? People do not want to read a lot of content–they skim! Think about how if you open up your laptop and have a thousand unread emails, you slam it back down and feel overwhelmed, like “I'm not reading all this". You don't want to overwhelm people and write too much on your profile. So, choose three prompts.
Next, what I advise is what I call the "prompt sandwich". You start with something light and easy, so a question like “How do you enjoy a Sunday?” or “Two truths and a lie” or “My fifth grade teacher would say this about me,” something lighthearted, easy, potentially comedic, and nothing romantic. This prompt should tell someone a little bit about you, because they can then decide if you are like-minded, and use it to decide what kind of date might be fun with you, giving them some insight into you. That's your first prompt in the prompt sandwich. Your second prompt in the prompt sandwich is the truth of what you want to say. People are on dating apps because they want to date– potentially to get in a committed relationship, potentially to get married. So now that you've captured someone's interest, go for a romantic prompt next. It's going to be something like “The fastest way to my heart is...”, "A green flag for me is...", and anything else that's positive. Don't write anything about red flags, dealbreakers, or negative topics. And then you end with another "piece of bread" in your sandwich, something else light, easy, and not romantic. For example, “If I could have a superpower, it would be....” or something else that gives someone a bit more insight into who you are as a person that's not romantic in nature. That's the sandwich that I recommend!

The best hinge prompts in my opinion are "I go crazy for" or "I geek out on" because you get to tell the other person something you're interested in and she will get to know you better. I also use "Together we could" followed by a cute date idea, like "be the loudest fans at the football game," so she can start to picture spending time with you.

Tips
- Draft your bios in a notes app and share them with close friends for proofreading.Thanks
- If you see someone answering a prompt in an interesting way, consider responding to the same prompt yourself (and putting your own spin on it, of course).Thanks
- If you want to write something a little more controversial (political, religious, or otherwise), consider using the “Don’t hate me if I” or “My most controversial opinion” prompts.Thanks
