Hinge is the dating app people use to find long-term partners.

If you don’t believe me just check out their commercial.

Hinge’s UX and features purpose is to not just find you a date this Friday — but a forever partner.

The dating app designed to be deleted uses the following features to help you find that serious partner:

• Detailed profiles
• Advanced search filters
• Reply reminders
• Matchmaking algorithm
• 10 likes per day
• Conversation

One of the most effective features is the three mandatory prompts Hinge requires users to fill out.

By requiring prompt answers (unlike say Tinder for example) Hinge is forcing users to spill their guts. The more information we know about a potential match the more human they become and the better we are at determining if they’re a compatible match.

One of the best prompts available is the, I’ll introduce you to my family if prompt.

What Makes “I’ll Introduce You To My Family If” a Great Prompt?

If Hinge is all about finding the one then it makes sense to use a more serious prompt like this one.

Introducing someone to the family is something most Tinder users wouldn’t imagine doing. But Hinge is a different ball game. Not only do more singles use the app to actually find a partner (unlike Tinder) but the median age of users is a few years older than that of other apps like Tinder and Bumble.

How to Respond to It?

There are a bunch of different ways you can respond to the prompt.

You can opt for a more serious prompt response detailing the moment you can imagine yourself introducing her to the family or use a bit of levity that showcases not only your character but your interests.

What I also like about this prompt is that rarely if ever are you presented with an organic way to talk about your family on a dating app. This prompt will give her insight into what a life with you (and your family) could look like.

If it’s difficult to imagine how you’re going to respond, check out the following 100% original prompt responses.

1) Football Is Life

For some families football really is life.

Sundays used to be reserved for Jesus, nowadays the only gods most families pray to are the ones carrying around inflated pigskin.

If she’s not on board with football (or your main family rituals for that matter) she won’t get the invite.

But if she’s down to put up with a bunch of grown men shouting at pixels on a screen for three-ish hours every Sunday, she’s in.

2) A Language Barrier

This is incredibly revealing.

Some people will only date others that have certain abilities or backgrounds.

If you have a dealbreaker, now’s the time to share it. If you’re religious, are looking to date someone with a shared background, or absolutely have to date someone with shared politics, make that known here and now.

Doing so will filter away women that aren’t compatible while attracting those that are.

What also makes this prompt response so great is the specificity and how the specifics reveal interesting details about one’s life.

3) You’re Gonna Meet The Entire Family

With some people, there’s no going halfway.

You either meet the entire family or don’t meet anyone. Sunday dinner is a big deal for a lot of families. If you’re not down to kick it with the whole crew every Sunday then you’re not ready to be a part of the family, it’s that simple.

Give her insight into what a typical gathering looks like. Let her know a little about your family’s background, the food you’ll eat, and other revealing habits and rituals.

4) Did You Score A Hole In One With Her?

I like this prompt response because it works on two levels.

On one level it talks about an interest you might have (e.g. golf). This is something you might want to show proof of with a photo. It’s likely that if she too is a golfer she’ll like this prompt or the golfing photo. This will give you ya’ll something to talk about, bond over, and could lead to a kick-ass first date involving at least 9 holes.

On the other hand, it also shows what a typical family day looks like. It shows you’re close with your family because you meet up on Sundays and shows her what kind of food you guys typically munch on.

5) The Truth

It’s okay you can be honest.

Look just because you’re not waxing poetic about your family on a dating app doesn’t mean she’ll nix you.

A cute and funny post about your family and what they’re really like is endearing and will resonate with people who have similar families.

This is a perfect response to the I’ll introduce you to my family if Hinge response because it’s straightforward.

6) Be Quirky

Not every prompt response needs to be super serious or only talk about your family.

Some responses can say everything about you and nothing about your family.

Remember that the most important part of these responses is to humanize yourself.

Discussing some idiosyncrasy is a great way to do just that. Make fun of yourself, share something vulnerable, and really open up. Doing the aforementioned is a guaranteed way to stand out on an app where most people put little effort into their responses.

7) Gooooooooooooooool!!!!

Unpopular opinion, soccer is better than football.

Few might agree, but that’s fine.

Why would you want to attract someone who has different tastes than yourself on a dating app?

News flash, opposites don’t attract.

Posting an unpopular opinion such as this one is a great way to attract the right people and repel the wrong ones.

Polarizing opinions cut straight to the heart. They either endear or push someone away.

That’s just what you want to do on a dating app.

You don’t have time to wade through a swamp of women that aren’t your type. Use statements like these to save time and match with someone you can easily get along with.

8) Polarize

Again, don’t be afraid of turning some people off.

Imagine how horrible that’d be if you did attract every woman on Hinge.

You’d have to have so many conversations and go on so many dates to find someone remotely compatible.

This strategy of polarizing filters away those that aren’t appealing, while attracting those that are.

Talk politics, make oddball comments, and do your damndest to stand out. It’s the only way to effectively use dating apps.

Stop casting a wide net by using cliches. Rather, target a specific audience of fish you know you’ll love when caught.

9) The Casual Run-In

LOL.

Make her laugh.

Make her chuckle, make her smile, and bam, you’ve got yourself a like.

It’s really that easy when it comes to online dating.

If you can stand out and be seen as a unique human with his own thoughts, ideas, and interests, you’re going to do just fine on dating apps.

10) I’ll introduce you to my family if you ask

We all want to be with someone that just cares about us straight up.

If you’re being honest, you only want to introduce women to your family that genuinely want to meet the fam.

You know she’s serious about the relationship when she asks to meet your parents.

If you’re using Hinge to find a serious partner, this prompt and this answer is one of the most genuine and honest ones you can write.

A Note On Photos

Writing a witty Hinge dating prompt is super important. And yes, even though Hinge is less superficial than other apps, it’s still a dating app.

At the end of the day if you don’t have quality photos you won’t receive likes.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the six types of photos you should have in your profile.

Here’s the rundown:

• Headshot
• Full-body shot
• Hobby shot
• GQ shot
• Sporty shot
• Doggy shot
• Friend shot (optional)

Each photo here is designed to offer her a different perspective and display another aspect of your character (and what you look like).

Some don’t do keep in mind are:

• No selfies
• Group shots are okay only after the second photo in your roster
• Wear different clothes
• Never cover your face with glasses, hats, or bad lighting
• No photos of you with just one other woman
• NO SELFIES

How To Write A Response Of Your Own

Now it’s your turn.

Stand out from the rest by penning a response she has no choice but to like.

You can that be being:

• Funny
• Authentic
• Revealing
• Different

If your response has one of the aforementioned elements it’ll be enough to score yourself a match or two.

When writing a response, my advice is to:

• Write five
• Choose the best one
• Edit it
• Then post
• Optional: Ask a female friend for their thoughts

There’s no rush and A/B testing is encouraged.

But even when you’ve scored yourself a top match, what do you do next?
