What are the best hinge prompts in your personal experience?
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.

In a similar vein, I think "My simple pleasures" is a really good prompt because it gives you the chance to showcase things you like!

All the prompts have potential if you actually put effort into them and try to showcase who you are but avoid cliches and take the time to write out something that shows you care and you should be good

I used Rizzbio app to help me generating prompts along with answers based on a survey to show my personality. It had good impact on sparks on convos

"I'm looking for" is an underrated prompt. It gives you a chance to be transparent about what you want out of the app so that the people who match with you are already aligned. This prompt may not be the most exciting but it can help you get more compatible matches and save you time.

idk what the best ones are but i'm so tired of "Change my mind about...pineapple on pizza" and "I'll fall for you if you trip me"
