Want a sneak peek at 30 of the best Facebook Dating answers for guys? You’ve come to the right place. If you’re not already using Facebook’s new dating app, you’re missing out. This app has the potential to become the best in its class. The powerful algorithm that has made Facebook a world-class advertising platform, offers all the bells and whistles of the ultimate dating experience because it knows its user better than any other dating site or app out there.
The difference between Facebook’s capabilities and apps like Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble, is that Facebook’s algorithm has collected information about every event, post, and product that users have liked, commented and shared in the past. The app also has data on what your friends have liked, commented, and shared, as well as people who share similar demographics to you. While this could be construed as scary, I believe it is what will set Facebook apart from its counterparts.
In reviewing the app for research purposes, I noticed that I matched with people who shared obscure interests in common with me, repeatedly. A fascinating depth of compatibility quickly unraveled for me when I realized that the app had matched me with people who shared the same favorite book in common. One of my favorite books is from the third grade, and not everyone had to read it in school, making it all the more rare that I’d find users who shared this obscure favorite in common with me.
And books weren’t the only thing I shared in common with my matches. I also found myself smack dab in a sea of kiteboard surfers, stand-up comedians, and even a guy with a Fight Club shirt on. Fight Club is my favorite movie and was an answer on my profile. But did the Facebook algorithm figure out we’d connect simply based on that guy’s shirt? If I was a worrywart, I’d be creeped out, but instead, I’m fascinated.
What could be possible for the future of dating if people were matched on such unique, obscure, and deep similarities? That is why I’ve made it my mission to find the best answers to the Facebook prompt questions. How you select and answer these question prompts, could very well be the key to helping you find your most ideal partner. What’s better than that?
First, let’s look at all the questions. I’d recommend reviewing each of them before deciding on the ones that are most important to you. I’ve also outlined my own tips for which question prompts to select, given your unique goals. If you want a woman who loves to laugh, then answering a prompt that easily accomplishes that goal will be key. On the other hand, if the most important characteristic in your ideal partner is kindness and compassion, then there are several questions that are better answered than others.
This question reveals deep compatibility. How you spend your free time needs to align with the person that you’re hoping to attract. If you’ve found that a lot of your previous relationships dissolved because you didn’t like doing the same activities, then this question is critical for you to add to your dating profile (oh, and don’t forget to check out my other article on the Best Facebook Dating Bios for Guys).
Make sure your answer details as many elements of your perfect day as possible. What do you eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Where are you, or in other words, what geographic location do you wake up in? Are there key activities that you participate in (even some you’ve never tried) that you hope your ideal girlfriend will also enjoy doing with you? Think through all the juicy details. And hey, newsflash, how much fun is it to daydream about the very perfect day? A lot better than staring at your computer I bet.
This question is hugely important for sussing out deep compatibility. I’ll give you an example as to why. My favorite movie of all time is Fight Club. The core values expressed in the film resonate deeply with who I am. I disagree with brainless consumerism, I believe working in a cubicle is akin to being a slave/robot, and I hope that every day I create a life where I feel fully alive.
I don’t have to say all this on my profile though, I just have to list my favorite movie. A person’s favorite book, movie, or musician reveals information about their core values. If you happen to share in common the same favorite movie, book, or band, then it’s likely your core values are well-aligned. I’d strongly encourage you to answer this question if you have a solid favorite.
I can’t think of why this would matter, but perhaps I’m not the target market here. This might be important if you are hoping your ideal girlfriend understands the phrase.
Food is at the core of our survival. It’s at the bottom of Maslow’s hierarchy and is rooted in sensation, which is similar to dating. Dating is all about sensation, it’s not about logic. Sharing in common 3 essential foods that you love reveals strong compatibility.
Think about it, when did you discover your favorite food? I doubt it was recently. Chances are your favorite food became your favorite because it was deeply embedded in your childhood, family, and friendships. A person’s favorite food tells a unique story about who they are, where they’ve been, and what they’re used to.
I personally wouldn’t be compatible with someone who listed 3 fancy foods in this section because I grew up with pretty basic fan favorites like pizza. Similarly, I probably wouldn’t jive well with a foodie, who preferred the finer things in life. If we think through why that is, it’s likely that our comfort foods would be vastly different. So when I’m having a bad day down the line and I want to order a deep-dish pizza, and my partner gets irritated because it’s not a five-star meal, I’d feel a lack of comfort, which could slowly erode the relationship. I’d encourage you to answer this question and to do so honestly, even if you’re a little bit basic, like me.
Other than making her laugh, I don’t see a huge value add in this question. If you have a funny answer, use it, if not, ditch it.
Just like the answer to the favorite movie question, the answer to your favorite book can be massively useful. Anyone who answers with the same favorite book as me is someone I want to talk to. It wouldn’t matter what you looked like or where you were from, I’d want to know more about you. Answer this question if you love reading, it’s an excellent prompt.
The answer to this question reveals to a woman whether you’re on track with your purpose. If your answer doesn’t match what you’re currently doing with your life, this may hurt you. Make sure you are at least doing it as a hobby. A woman doesn’t want a man who isn’t on track with his true purpose.
This is great if you have one as it shows a woman what type of man you aspire to become. Use this prompt if you’re futuristic.
A person’s favorite quote reveals how they see the world. The answer to this question will tell you how a woman views the world as well. Consider whether you align on your answers. If you do, then it’s likely you share many other commonalities.
Embarrassing stories always offer up opportunities to make women laugh. A sense of humor is one of the most valuable characteristics women look for in potential mates. If you have a good answer, by all means, use it here.
There are many ways to answer this question, I’d avoid the obvious. Your goal is to separate yourself from the competition, elicit her curiosity, and make her feel, not think. Don’t write “water, food, matches.” It’s trite, quickly losing meaning through overuse.
The answer to this question is powerful. It suggests that you know the words to this song. You could go with something funny or be genuine. If music is important to you, answer this question authentically.
Important if you have a solid favorite but I personally wouldn’t use this question, as I don’t.
Speaking to your culinary skills can be a great way to get a woman to agree to a third date back at your place. If she likes what you cook, then it will be easy to persuade her to join you for a homemade meal. I don’t recommend this option for a first or second date however, as it would be out of sequence to meet at night and too soon for her to come to your place.
This is an excellent question for people who love to travel. Make sure to answer this and use specific locations and keywords to give yourself the best chance at matching with a woman who shares a love for travel in common with you.
I would view this question as an opportunity to make her laugh. The ability to make a woman laugh is a rare and coveted skill. It supersedes good looks and a high income and is an essential skill to develop in dating. If you’re looking for a woman who loves to laugh and shares a similar sense of humor, then this would be an excellent question to answer on your profile.
Music can reveal deep compatibility. Try and use your favorite song here or take the opportunity to use a silly song that’s unexpected to make her laugh. A guy isn’t likely to be obsessed with Brittany Spears, so an answer like “Hit Me, Baby, One More Time” might send a message that you’re fun and don’t take life too seriously.
Think about the characteristics that you hope to share in common with your ideal partner, and list them here.
If a kind and thoughtful woman is exactly who you’re looking for, then I would answer this question and look for her answer as well. If you use specific keywords, it’s more likely you’ll match with people who also use those keywords on their profile.
This question offers another opportunity to make her laugh but if you don’t have a solid answer, I’d pass on it.
If you’re looking for a partner who is an excellent conversationalist, answer this question and consider using an answer that is polarizing. In other words, answer this question with a thoughtful answer that would speak directly to the type of woman you want. Don’t be vague or overly general.
In my opinion, this is a half-assed question. I’d avoid it but if you love emojis, then have at it.
This answer on a woman’s profile can help you plan compelling dates that she wants to go on with you. Consider answering this Facebook question prompt with the same keyword you hope to see on a woman’s profile.
This question reveals deep compatibility. Answer thoughtfully and with rich detail.
This question is similar to the favorite movie or book question. I would definitely answer this if you have a favorite.
The answer to this Facebook Dating question demonstrates what is unique or special about you. Think about what sets you apart from your competition. Maybe refer back to old college entrance essays to recall compelling ideas.
Your proudest accomplishment can be similar to the prompt above. Be careful not to get too full of yourself. Humility is sexy.
Answer this question if you love to travel and hope your ideal girlfriend shares the same location in common. Be specific, use the keyword of the actual destination. Don’t just say “the beach,” tell me what beach specifically.
Use this prompt if you have a funny answer, but not if your answer is depressing.
Great prompt for determining whether the two of you share the same interests. Be specific and consider what you’d hope to find in common, even if that’s not every Sunday morning. Answer this question as if it’s the perfect Sunday morning.
This reveals whether you have a similar sense of humor. If you’re looking for a woman who loves to laugh, answer this question.
This answer on a woman’s profile can help you plan compelling dates that she wants to go on with you.
The following examples were selected because they were either funny, creative, honest, or specific. Hopefully, the examples will give you a solid framework for answering your own prompts in a way that garners high quality, compatible matches.
My answer was this…
And what’s great about this keyword “kite surfing” is that after adding it to my profile, I ended up matching with people whose answer to the same question was similar, like…
Are we compatible? I think so, and probably quite deeply. Consider what activity you would love to share in common with your future girlfriend and add it here. Chances are you’ll match with women who share the same exact answer in common.
The pork shrimp chive dumplings wouldn’t be my thing but that’s good because if he’s turning me off with his specificity, then he’s probably turning another girl on who loves that type of food. Also, bacon spinach salad? Lol. Who says that as they’re favorite food? Funny and interesting and makes me curious. Well done.
“In The Phenomenology of Mind, idealist philosopher Georg Hegel (1770–1831) defied the traditional epistemological distinction of objective from subjective and developed his own dialectical alternative. Remarkable for the breadth and profundity of its philosophical insights, this work combines psychology, logic, moral philosophy, and history to form a comprehensive view that encompasses all forms of civilization. Its three divisions consist of the subjective mind (dealing with anthropology and psychology), the objective mind (concerning philosophical issues of law and morals), and the absolute mind (covering fine arts, religion, and philosophy).”
This guy got me curious to want to learn more. Upon learning more, I became even more curious and ended up with a bunch of questions. These questions could easily become an interesting dialogue if I was to reach out to him on the app. Additionally, I’m certain he’d make for an excellent conversationalist if I was single and intending to meet him in person.
What’s the point?
If you’re a thoughtful human, demonstrate it on your profile. Even if a woman doesn’t understand something you say, if she’s interested, she’ll do her homework. I’d assume this isn’t the type of guy who’s looking for an airhead anyway. He’d probably welcome a woman who wanted to research something he’d read to learn more. Clearly a fascinating character. You can use a similar strategy by adding depth to your answers. Not everyone has to understand every detail on your profile.
I also couldn’t believe he had Handmaid’s Tale on there because it just became my favorite TV show. That algorithm Facebook has is seriously magical. I’m surprised by his answer because I thought Handmaid’s Tale was a chick thing. This makes me want to know more about him.
Always best to be specific and targeted in the keywords you use on your profile. Who cares if 90% of people don’t get it. The 10% who do will be very intrigued and you might find that you match with other women who use precisely the same word on their profile. A match made in Heaven? I’d like to think so.
Makes sense we would match, I’m a sci-fi nerd too. If he’d have answered with something freaky like Human Centipede (don’t ever watch it) or Friday the 13th, I would have super swiped left. Movies speak volumes about a person and are a great indicator of chemistry, or the lack thereof.
Demonstrating vulnerability in dating is powerful. When a man doesn’t hide behind his ego, it can do wonders for his ability to connect to women on a deeper level. If you’re in touch with your authentic side (bonus points), then I’d encourage you to try using at least one honest, or vulnerable answer on your profile. Doing so will stimulate a women’s innate need to nurture. We love when we get to be in our feminine as women. When a man is vulnerable it makes it that much easier.
Wikipedia to the rescue: “Matzah brei, sometimes spelled matzah brie or matzo brei, is a dish of Ashkenazi Jewish origin made from matzah fried with eggs. It is commonly eaten as a breakfast food during the Jewish holiday of Passover.”
I’d be down to try something new. How exciting! Plus, if he’s looking for a nice Jewish girl, he’s legit speaking her language. Good job!
His answer makes me feel afraid. Lose the swear words and never opt for vocabulary that could be related to murder, please. Women care about safety more than anything else. Don’t blow it by alluding to dangerous topics on your profile.
Being strategic and using the best Facebook Dating answers will help increase the number and quality of matches you get. But, once you match, you’ll still need to ensure you craft a compelling message. Avoid using what I call an H-Factor, that’s anything beginning with the letter “H” (outside of “Have you been…). This means don’t say “hi,” “hey,” “hola,” “how was your weekend,” “hello,” or anything else that begins with an “H.”
Too many people are doing this and the dating apps are saturated with thoughtless, valueless messages. A woman doesn’t have time to reply to these. If you need help crafting compelling messages that get responses and win dates, check out my Signature Program. I teach this strategy in detail and even give my Signature Program clients a list of proven messages they can easily copy and paste to get more responses from beautiful women.
There is one rule that applies to all of messaging, be it messaging on dating apps or text messaging between dates. And that rule is this: Always message with intent. What is the intent? The intent is always and only to get on the date. That’s it. You’re not here to build rapport, that’s impossible over text.
Trust and rapport happen in-person when you’re on a date. Anything else is your imagination. Your job, as a smart, successful man is to convert your message to a date as quickly as possible. Too many messages sent before a first date kills mystery and causes the spark to fizzle out. Quit doing this. Invite her on a date using a TDL within your first 10 messages to ensure that you don’t hurt your chances of actually meeting her in real life.
A TDL is a call-to-action that gives a woman the information she needs to say “yes” or “no” to your date request. A TDL stands for time, date, location. Get it?
When you’re inviting a woman out on a date, you can’t just say “we should hang out sometime.” This means nothing to a woman and whether she says “yes” or “no” doesn’t mean anything because it doesn’t put an actual date on a calendar. It also does not provide a compelling reason for her to meet you, and if she doesn’t know you, she needs a clearly compelling reason to mobilize.
Lastly, if you say “we should hang out sometime,” to a woman you’ve met in-person, not on a dating app, it’s unclear that you’re even asking her for a date at all. She might think you’re inviting her to hang as friends or for networking purposes. No joke, this happened multiple times in my 100-Date Experiment. The moral of the story is, use a TDL when inviting women on dates and use the word “date” if expectations are unclear because you didn’t meet through a dating app.
“Let’s meet at the Cat Cafe on Tuesday at 2 pm.” This is a better scenario because it gives a woman the information she needs to give you an answer. Even if she says “no” it’s helpful because she’s likely to say one of the following:
These objections are very easy to overturn. All you have to do is adjust the one piece of the puzzle she objected to. If she says “I can’t do that time,” don’t ask her what time would work better. Instead, demonstrate your sexy leadership qualities by suggesting another time. Ok, how about 5 pm? This makes it easier to overcome her objections without going passive.
When you become passive, it forces her into the “masculine role” and she doesn’t want to be there. She wants you to lead and she wants to believe you’re a strong leader that will introduce her to an exciting new world. Try three times before asking her what works better for her.
Try to lead as much as possible. It’s sexy and it’s what we women want. Half the time we object because we’re subconsciously testing to see if you are persistent. All women love persistence. Never give up after only one try.
Real-talk, anyone can grab a coffee at Starbucks anywhere, anytime. This is why Starbucks is not a compelling first date–unless the Starbucks is epic. Either it’s located in an amazing location or it offers something that other Starbucks do not. That said, if you can do better, please do.
Side note: for my farmers and guys who live in remote areas without many options, I have a strategy for you too. I understand that you don’t necessarily have artisanal chocolate shops and glitter confetti ice cream stores at your disposal. If this sounds like you and you’ve been struggling to find compelling date ideas, book a session with me and let’s strategize.
An example of what that might look like:
(You see that she loves cats and lives in San Diego) Did you know a cluster of cats is called a clowder?
She’ll likely answer with a short, not super compelling message back. Even if it is a one-word answer, that doesn’t mean she isn’t interested. Don’t be discouraged. Continue to lead the conversation toward your TDL.
Crazy right… have you been to the Cat Cafe in SD?
She’ll say yes or no and probably not much else. She’s still interested, I promise you.
Yeah, they have cats you can adopt that just hang around while you drink coffee. They’re actually having cat yoga Tuesday at 5:30. I’m going to check it out. Want to join me?
Boom. And you’ve likely won yourself a date. Pro-tip: Once she says “yes,” say “Great, what’s your number? I’ll text you the address.
Once you have the number send a short message that says “it’s Eric” or whatever your name is. Then avoid texting again until you’re one day out. At this point, confirm the date by saying something like “looking forward to this crazy cat yoga experience. Here’s the address. See you tomorrow at 5:30 pm. If the dynamic is right, you can add a sexy challenge to the end of your message like, “wear something cute 😉” to stimulate a little healthy sexual tension.
I genuinely believe Facebook Dating is going to crush the dating app competition, but it’s still early. To ensure success, it’s best to have a two-pronged approach to dating. You should have a strategy for meeting people in-person as well as on the apps.
For your dating app strategy, I recommend that you use five different apps simultaneously. This is because each app draws a different audience, performs in a different way, and offers unique strengths and weaknesses. When you use several, you’re able to utilize the strengths of each of the apps, without succumbing to a glitch that wreaks havoc on your entire dating funnel (it happens). It’s similar to the idea of diversifying your investment portfolio. You never want to put all of your eggs in one basket.
If you don’t have a solid strategy for meeting women in-person and on the apps, then we should talk. I can help you fill up your dating funnel with lots of high-quality women. Plus, I’ll teach you simple ways to meet more women in-person, without going up to strangers and asking for their number. Ew.
Book a 1-on-1 Skype session with me today to discuss my Signature Program and see if it might be a fit for you. We’ll chat about your dating goals, troubleshoot any obstacles you might be facing, and create an action plan so you can start having success right away. I look forward to connecting with you.
