How to Create Your Best Profile as a Black Dater

Showing others who you are from the start is the best way to meet people who will encourage you to keep being your authentic self. You’re taking dating seriously, and so are we. Before you go out there to connect with and meet new people on Match, let’s get you ready to make the first impression count.

So don’t hold back. We’re here to share some tips on how to make your user profile the best showcase of your personality. And don’t worry—we’re here to protect you and your privacy every step of the way.

Choose photos where you look most like yourself

Did you know that profiles with at least three photos are more likely to get noticed? But don’t just pick any three photos. Try to choose a mix of pictures that look and feel like what it would be like to meet you IRL. Think one or two strong headshots. A group photo of you front and center with your besties. An action shot where you’re having a blast doing one of your favorite hobbies. A sweet candid with you and your favorite furry friend. The more photos you add, the better!

Tell your best story in your bio

Ever had someone ask, “So what’s your story?” Keep that question in mind when you write your bio section. You don’t have to include everything that’s ever happened to you, but think about one to three things that make you who you are. Keep it natural, and don’t treat it like a job application. The bio is a great opportunity to let your personality shine. Remember that you can use other sections of your profile, like the dating intention filter, to show others what you’re interested in. If you’re still unsure about crafting the perfect bio, ask a friend to help you. Sit down together and brainstorm it out. How would they pitch you to someone if they were playing your wing-person?

Still stuck? Try these prompts to get you inspired:

• Tell us about where you grew up.
• Discuss your schooling and career.
• Have siblings or pets? Describe them.
• Talk about your passions or hobbies.
• What do you do on the weekends?
• List your favorite music, movies, or TV shows.

Add topics to spark deeper conversations

Yes, many connections do start with a simple “hello,” but why encourage more in-depth conversations? Topics help others get to know your interests and can be great conversation starters. To keep your profile fresh, be sure to come back every month or so and change up your current topics to new ones, including special topics curated by our dating experts.

Keep it interesting with your interests

You’re more than meets the eye, so why not show off the things that bring excitement and meaning to your life? That’s where the interests section of the profile comes in. Whether it’s cooking or hiking, traveling or performing arts, add as many passions to your profile as you’d like.

Share your core values

Match with others on the things that matter most to you. Core values are the principles that guide you in your everyday life — from family to faith, you can discover strong compatibility and connect with others on the foundations that have gotten you thus far, so that you can begin to build a life with someone else based on similar beliefs.

Plan a Date When You’re Ready

You can plan a date as early or as late as you want. Do what makes you feel comfortable, whether that means connecting after exchanging a few messages or waiting for Cupid to strike several months down the line. Of course, the other person needs to be comfortable with it as well, so respect their wishes and stay open and honest with them.
