20 Adorable Ideas For Hinge’s “Leave A Comment If” Prompt

Of the many delightful prompts offered by Hinge, “You should leave a comment if” is definitely one of my favorites. It’s a chance to be open and forthright, to invite exactly the kinds of matches for which you’re looking to start a conversation. And, anecdotally, it’s how my own relationship began. Before we started dating, my boyfriend’s Hinge profile included the line, “You should leave a comment if… you like men in their 30s who still get ID’ed.” And reader, let me tell you: I do like men in their 30s who still get ID’ed. So leave a comment, I did. (Thank goodness!)

“It’s an opportunity to say something quirky or silly,” says Logan Ury, Director of Relationship Science at Hinge and author of How Not To Die Alone. “It’s also an opportunity to share your values or get vulnerable… Telling someone your specific quirks or pleasures can help create a vivid image of who you are and help them picture what a relationship with you would be like. One of my key tips to designing a great dating app profile is to think through three things you want to express about yourself and use your photos and prompts to get those messages across. Prompts like these are a great way to share those three things.”

If you’re wondering what to include on your own Hinge profile under “Leave a comment if,” here are 20 potential responses and adorable ideas to keep in mind.
