The Best Bumble Prompts To Use [Get More Matches & Dates!]

Bumble Prompts are the perfect way to spice up your profile.

They used to be called My Move Makers, but the premise is still the same. Just like on Hinge , you choose 3 prompts from a selection of 70+, and your answers are displayed in between your photos.

The selection of Bumble prompts changes periodically, and including new ones is a perfect way to refresh your profile every once in a while.

But you need to be strategic about which ones you choose, because some prompt answers will make you seem like a more attractive prospect - and others could do the opposite.

VIDA Select's dating experts have written thousands of Bumble profiles for our clients, and use the app daily. In fact, we've been creating profiles and sending messages on behalf of clients since it launched! All the profile advice, strategies and prompt examples we've compiled in this post are based on our years of first-hand experience.

Check out which prompts will give your profile a boost, and attract the high-quality people you want to date most!

Keep Your Bumble Prompt Answers Short & Sweet You have a 120-character limit for each one, but that doesn’t mean you need to use up all that real estate. Each answer displays between your photos, so short, simple statements have a more immediate impact than long, complex sentences.

But don’t go too short. One word answers rarely give enough context to be compelling and attractive, so you’re just wasting an opportunity.

Be mindful of line breaks, punctuation and grammar, because any mistakes stand out like a sore thumb.

And if you need more motivation to take proofreading seriously, consider this: a recent study found that the majority of singles polled thought bad grammar was a bigger turn off than bad sex. Yes, really.

{banner2:the-subtle-shift-technique} Make Strategic Choices This may seem obvious, but a lot of guys simply pick the easiest Bumble prompts to answer and call it a day, without putting any deeper thought into what they wrote.

The best prompts to answer let you highlight an attribute women generally find appealing, but in a conversational way that doesn’t sound like bragging.

Think about the type of woman you’d like to date, and what traits she’s likely to have on her list of ‘must haves.’ For instance: sense of adventure, successful career, financial stability, strong family ties, etc.

Then, pick the prompt that best lets you illustrate how you embody one of those traits.

Start With These Bumble Prompts

Prompts like these naturally lend themselves to showcasing an attractive trait:

Greatest travel story. Not only does sharing a few details about a trip show her you’ve got the means to travel, but it also shows her she could be in for some awesome adventures.

Two truths and a lie. This prompt allows you to make some bold claims without sounding like you’re bragging.

Most recent act of kindness. A perfect place to mention any charity work or volunteering you do, or just let her know you’re the kind of guy who opens doors and rescues puppies.

After work you can find me. A natural place to let her know you’ve got an active, interesting social life.

If I were famous, it’d be for… This is a great spot to share an intriguing or creative hobby.

Ideal night out/My perfect Sunday/Perfect first date. She’ll be picturing herself along for the ride, so make it good. In the interest of variety, only use one of these 3 My Move Makers in your Bumble profile.

My secret skill. Another good place to mention a hobby, preferably one that will benefit her - who doesn’t want a guy who can rehome spiders or fix whatever breaks around the house?

Avoid answers that are inherently negative, because those don’t do anything to elevate your profile.

For instance, it’s difficult to describe your pet peeve without sounding like you let life’s little irritations bother you enough to warrant mentioning them on a dating app (read: whiner).

Dating profiles should generally always be positive, and that’s especially true when they’re short. She’s interested in learning more about you, not what you don’t like.

No matter which prompts you choose, take a minute to ponder what your answers could be communicating between the lines. It doesn’t take much to give her the wrong impression.
