Guide
Your profile has about three seconds to earn a swipe. The good news: a few simple fixes — better photos, a bio that invites a reply, and one clear hook — beat a 'perfect' profile every time.
People decide fast. A clear, warm, honest profile gets you more — and better — matches than a vague or over-polished one. You're not trying to impress everyone; you're trying to give the right person an easy reason to say hi. On Gendgo, a voice intro and going live do even more of that work for you.
Photos
Your first photo should be just you, well-lit, looking at the camera. No sunglasses, no group shots where you're a mystery.
A mix: one clear portrait, one full-length, one doing something you love. It gives people something to ask about.
Heavy filters read as "hiding something." Real photos build trust — and you'll have nothing to explain on the first call.
Bathroom mirror selfies and tigers are out. Natural light and genuine moments are in.
Your bio
"I'll debate you about the best street food in town" beats "I love food and travel." Specifics give people a hook.
End with a light question or a "message me if…". You're making the first message effortless for the right person.
A little humour or a real detail says more than ten adjectives. Sound like a person, not a CV.
Whether it's something serious or just good conversation, saying so attracts the people who fit.
Avoid these
A blank bio makes people guess — most won't bother. Even two honest sentences change everything.
"No drama, no players, don't bother if…" sets a cold tone. Lead with what you want, not what you don't.
If they can't tell which one is you, they swipe on. Solo photo first, always.
