Standouts are Hinge users in your area that are getting a lot of attention. Hinge also tailors your Standouts each day to fit your dating preferences, including mutual dealbreakers, recent activity, and interests. If you see someone intriguing in your Standouts, you can show interest by sending them a Rose. This wikiHow article covers everything you need to know about Hinge Standouts, including how to improve your chances of appearing in Standouts yourself.

Things You Should Know

  • Tap the star icon on the bottom of the Hinge app to view your Standouts.
  • Standouts refresh each day, but you may see recurring faces every once in a while.
  • You can only reach out to a Standout with a Rose.

    Don't be surprised if you find your Standouts especially attractive, or if they have especially funny and amusing profiles. Standouts receive a lot of likes, but they also align closely with the preferences you have set for yourself on Hinge. [1]
    • Your Hinge Standouts refresh each day, but you may see recurring faces. That is because Hinge believes you both have common interests/preferences. If you keep seeing a Standout over and over, it may be a sign that you are compatible!

    You can find your Standouts on Hinge by tapping the star icon on the bottom of your screen. You can then scroll through your deck of Standouts and tap on each user to view their full profile.

    You can reach out to a Standout just as you would any other user, with one key exception. You can only reach out to Standouts with a Rose.
    • Once you tap on the Rose, you can craft a response or simply send the Rose. These go immediately to the top of your Standout's deck of likes.

    There are mixed opinions on Roses and whether it is weird to send them, and your Standouts may eventually appear in your usual deck of Hinge users. It may take a while until you see them there, but it might be worth waiting so you can reach out with a normal Like as opposed to a Rose.

    Of course, if you see a user in your Standouts and you feel strongly about their profile, feel free to send them a Rose! You get one free Rose a week, and Roses do not carry over, so sending one to a Standout you particularly like is a completely valid way to use your weekly free Rose.

    Because Standouts are the people Hinge users are most interested in, you'll want to put your best face forward—literally. Choose a profile photo that's well-lit, attractive, accurate to real life, and shows off your best features. Your remaining profile photos should show your personality and interests, and help tell the story of who you really are.

    Hinge prompts are designed to start conversations. If you're using prompts that Hinge users find interesting and easy to respond to, you'll receive more responses. More responses = more activity, which makes you more likely to become a Hinge Standout.

    Add content to your Hinge profile that other people with similar interests are sure to Like. This includes photos—pet photos and pictures of cool travel destinations are always popular options. Be relatable, be honest, and watch the likes pour in. The more likes you get, the more often you'll appear in other peoples' Standouts.
