Basic details

  • Your name and nickname
  • Date of birth
  • Gender and who you’re interested in

Your photos

  • Upload up to 6 photos. Your first photo will be your main profile image — choose a clear, well-lit shot of your face.

About you

  • A bio (optional but strongly recommended)
  • Height, body type
  • Relationship type you’re looking for
  • Religion
  • Drinking and smoking status

Your preferences

  • The countries and regions you’d like to match with
  • Age range and distance filters
  • Add at least 4 photos — profiles with more photos get significantly more matches
  • Write a bio — even a few sentences makes a big difference. See our bio writing guide for tips.
  • Be accurate — honesty upfront leads to better connections

Nothing you set during onboarding is permanent. You can edit any part of your profile at any time from the profile tab.

How to choose great profile photos

  • Show Your Face: Skip the sunglasses, hats, and masks.
  • Go Solo: Avoid group shots. Stand out on your own.
  • Mix It Up: Include both close-ups and full-body shots.
  • Keep It Natural: Ditch the bathroom mirror selfies. Natural lighting wins.
  • Dress Your Best: Wear clothes that fit well and show your style.
  • Look Approachable: Drop the tough look. Smile and look warm.
  • Upload 5 to 8 Photos: Give people a real sense of who you are.
