If a person wants a chance at finding love online, their profile must stand out from the crowd. A great way to do that is to embellish it with some humor. A funny pun, joke, or photo can catch a potential partner’s attention and make a good first impression that goes beyond looks and attractiveness.
People in this list below managed to do this brilliantly, probably sweeping many Tinder users off their feet. Scroll down to find the most charmingly funny dating profiles Bored Panda could find, and be warned, as your heart may be stolen by complete strangers and their impeccable sense of humor.
While you’re at it, don’t forget to check out a conversation with dating and relationship coach Noah Heymann from DateCoach.com, who kindly agreed to tell us more about humour in dating profiles.

“Humor is crucial to a dating profile,” says dating and relationship coach Noah Heymann from DateCoach.com.
“Studies have shown that originality and humor in a written profile make viewers find you more intelligent and even more physically attractive, and therefore more likely to message you.”

Those who think that their laid-back and funny approach to dating profile might not be seen as serious have nothing to worry about.
Research has found that a good sense of humor not only makes the person more attractive but also better suitable as a long-term partner.

Heymann agrees that including funny elements in a dating profile while seeking a long-term partner is a very good idea. “Your viewer is not only thinking about you (and how attractive, interesting, etc. you are) but narcissistically about themselves and how fun their life would be with you.”

A kind of humour that seems to do extremely well with online daters is sarcasm. Coming in hot with sarcastic remarks signals that a person is intelligent and witty, which, as we already gathered, is at the top of the list of desirable traits in a partner. It also makes the person look brave, creates an immediate feeling of intimacy and is a great conversation starter as opposed to a bio that says, ‘I enjoy taking long walks in nature.’

However, there are some things that are better avoided when embellishing the dating profile with humor. “You should balance humor with sincerity, and be careful not to be too self-deprecating,” Heymann says. “Studies show that profiles with generally positive words like ‘love’ and ‘friends’ and “music” are more likely to receive a message than ones with generally negative words like ‘homebody’ and ‘awkward.’”

“Also, you are trying to constrain your profile narrative (or all written responses to prompts combined) to a mere 50 total words, according to the data. Most people (especially men) don’t read more, and feel sheepish to message you with a reasonable question like “What do you do for fun?” for fear you’ll write back, ‘See paragraph 5,’” he funnily adds.

That said, not everyone might be skilled at coming up with humor, “so instead steal it!” recommends Heymann. “You’ve read tons of profiles, and only a few made made you laugh, but you now don’t remember the jokes. Next time, write them down, and make sure they match your personality.”

To not leave you hanging like the person you matched with and messaged, Heymann also provided some examples that could be great to include in a dating profile. “Some are snarky like “I like long cliches on the beach” or “I often leave things unfinis,” while others are more goofy like “I say ‘you too’ when a waiter says ‘enjoy your meal’ and accidentally like your 2015 Instagram post…just so you know what you’re getting into."
