Hinge Success Formula

1. Always Comment, Never Just Like

Likes without comments rarely lead to conversations. Take 30 seconds to write something specific about their prompt or photo. This extra effort dramatically increases your response rate.

2. Engage With Their Content

The best openers reference something specific from their profile. Instead of "cute dog!", try "Your golden retriever has the same energy as mine - perpetually happy and absolutely clueless."

3. End With a Hook

Give them something to respond to. Ask a question, make a playful assumption they can correct, or suggest something you could do together. Make responding easy and appealing.

4. Move to the Date

After 5-10 messages of good conversation, suggest meeting up. Hinge is designed to be deleted - meaning it wants you to find someone and leave the app. Don't get stuck in endless messaging.

Mastering Hinge: The Relationship App

Hinge has positioned itself as the dating app "designed to be deleted" - meaning its goal is to help you find a real relationship. This relationship-focused approach attracts a different crowd than Tinder and requires a more thoughtful approach to messaging.

Why Hinge Lines Are Different

Hinge's prompt-based profiles give you built-in conversation starters. Unlike Bumble where women message first, either person can initiate on Hinge. This means your openers need to be good enough to stand out, but not so over-the-top they feel insincere. Smooth lines work better here than overly cheesy ones.

The Power of Voice Prompts

Hinge's voice prompt feature is underutilized gold. Profiles with voice prompts feel more personal and give you another way to connect. Commenting on someone's voice prompt shows you actually engaged with their full profile, which sets you apart from people who just swipe based on photos.

Personalization is Key

Generic pickup lines underperform on Hinge. The most successful messages reference specific details from the person's profile. Whether you're commenting on their funny prompt response or their travel photos, specificity shows genuine interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best Hinge prompt responses directly reference what they wrote, add your own perspective, and end with a question or hook for them to respond to. Don't just compliment the prompt—engage with it. For example, if they mention loving spicy food, share your hottest take on the best spicy dish and ask about theirs.
