120 Hinge Prompt Answers to Make Your Profile as Strong as Possible

Dating apps can feel chaotic at best and mildly soul-sucking at worst. One minute you’re confidently swiping, the next you’re staring at a profile wondering if “I love tacos” is a personality trait or just a cry for help. But here’s the good news: dating apps don’t have to be a mystery box of missed connections. With the right approach (and the right words), they can actually work in your favor—whether you’re dating casually, looking for something serious, or just trying to meet someone who actually knows how to hold a conversation.

That’s where Hinge prompts come in. Instead of relying solely on photos and a vague bio, Hinge gives you built-in questions you can answer directly on your profile. Think of them as conversation starters that do some of the heavy lifting for you. A good prompt answer gives matches something specific to respond to, shows off your personality, and helps weed out people who absolutely will not pass the vibe check.

“Hinge prompts are icebreakers that make it easy to initiate a conversation with someone you’re interested in. They help daters more easily assess compatibility and minimize the guesswork around someone’s personality, leading to better dates and a more enjoyable dating journey,” explains Moe Ari Brown, Hinge’s Love and Connection Expert.

As of 2026, Hinge has over 100 prompt options separated into 10 different categories: About me, My type, Let’s chat about, Date vibes, Storytime, Self-care, Your World, LGBTQIA+, Getting personal, and Voice-first. Each category has between five and 14 prompts, and you can pick three across categories to feature on your profile. You can also answer them with a voice note! The challenge is figuring out which prompts can best showcase your personality and what you’re looking for from dating. Brown advises reviewing them one by one, asking yourself, “How do I want someone to feel when they read my prompt?” and “What do I want them to do when they read my prompt?” The key is to be intentional with your choices to let swipers truly understand what you’re all about.

To make things easier, we rounded up some of the best Hinge prompts and answered each one multiple ways—funny, thoughtful, low-key, and flirty—so you can steal, tweak, or use them as inspiration. Because the goal isn’t to sound perfect; it’s to sound like you, but with better odds of getting a reply.
