Hinge Pro Tips
Always Add a Comment
Likes without comments rarely turn into matches. Take 10 seconds to write something specific about what you liked. This alone doubles your match rate.
Reference Specific Details
Don't say "nice photo" - say "that hiking photo looks like it's from Yosemite?" Specificity shows you actually looked at their profile.
Ask Follow-Up Questions
Turn your comment into a conversation starter. Instead of "I love that too," try "I love that too - what got you into it?"
Show Personality
Hinge rewards authenticity. Be genuine, show humor, and don't be afraid to be a little vulnerable. That's what the app is designed for.

The Complete Guide to Hinge Openers
Hinge is different from Tinder and Bumble. It's designed for relationships, not just swiping. This means your openers need to be more thoughtful and personalized.
The key to Hinge success is engaging with specific parts of someone's profile. You're not just liking a person - you're liking a specific photo or prompt answer, and adding a comment. This creates natural conversation starters.
Types of Hinge Openers
Prompt Responses: Comment on their answers with follow-up questions or shared opinions. Photo Comments: Ask about locations, activities, or the story behind the image. Common Ground: Point out shared interests and suggest exploring them together.
Beyond Openers: Profile Optimization
