Tinder can be an abysmal sea of swiping, or a place where you can make quality matches, link up for dates, and maybe even find your next significant other. But before you can get there, you’ve gotta set up your profile, including coming up with a clever bio.

As certified sex therapist De-Andrea Blaylock-Solar, MSW, LCSW-S, CST tells mindbodygreen, trying to summarize yourself in a short bio is hard enough, let alone trying to be witty about it. But according to her, when it comes to penning the best Tinder bios, it’s all about showcasing what makes you, you.

Namely, she suggests, lead with your own sense of humor, be authentic, and don’t take it too seriously. It can also be helpful to ask trusted friends for feedback on your profile, “Just to make sure it’s not too thirsty or creepy, and looks appealing and approachable,” Blaylock-Solar adds.

Depending on what you’re looking for, you might be looking for a sincere bio, a funny one, or of course, a suggestive one—so we rounded up 37 of the best Tinder bios (and categorized them, too), so you can give your profile a revamp.

While dating apps like Hinge are typically considered the place to be for those seeking more serious relationships, there are cases of people who have found their significant other on Tinder, despite its reputation for hookups and flings.

If you’re looking for someone who is actually interested in going out and getting to know each other, try any of these bios on for size:

1. Might be looking for love in all the wrong places but…prove me wrong?
2. I am, in fact, here for a long time, not just a good time.
3. Got a lot of love to give, just need to find someone to give it to.
4. Want to help me delete this app?
5. Swipe right if you want to be more than pen pals for two days.
6. Lover of coffee, good books, and meeting new, interesting people.
7. If you like home-cooked meals, curated playlists, and/or smooth jazz, swipe right.

1. If you can’t handle me at my worst, my best will probably not make up for it. Your move.
2. “5 stars, best night of my life!” – Anonymous Tinder woman
3. Professional shower singer seeking a duet partner.
4. My grandma keeps telling me to settle down, if anyone could help me with that.
5. Is the olive theory really true? Let’s find out.
6. Casual hookups are off the table, but we can talk about semi-formal, business casual, or white tie.
7. Swipe right if you’re as sick of this app as I am.
8. Just looking for someone to do a couple’s Halloween costume with.

1. Give me one date and I’ll make sure you don’t regret matching with me.
2. Seeking: Wedding date who likes to dance like no one’s watching.
3. There are three ways to my heart: Nudes, noodles, and new matches on Tinder.
4. Have we matched before or do I just recognize you from my dreams?
5. I can’t summarize myself in one sentence so I guess you’ll just had to find out for yourself.
6. If Tinder was a pumpkin patch, I’d pick you.
7. Passenger princess seeking kind and loyal chauffeur.
8. We can tell our friends we met at a concert.

1. HMU if you want to test out my new sheets with me.
2. Let me show you the real meaning of “nice guys finish last.”
3. I like my dates how I like my movies; Short, action-packed, and with an unforgettable climax.
4. My dog needs a dog dad—and I need a daddy.
5. I’m not a great cook but I eat out like a pro.
6. I’ve always wanted to be a pirate. To this day, I still go wild for booty.
7. You use colgate? I’d rather give you oral, b.

1. I’m a woman on a mission: Finding a guy who can keep up.
2. You pick the when, I’ll pick the where, and we’ll go from there.
3. Lover of slow Sundays, sunset drives, and if you’re lucky, you.
4. If I’m trash does that mean there’s a chance you’ll take me out?
5. I’m great with numbers—give me yours and I’ll show you.
6. If you want someone who will give you laugh lines instead of frown lines, swipe right.
7. Let’s grab a slice sometime, unless that’s too cheesy.

At the end of the day, don’t overthink your Tinder bio too much. In fact, now that there are options to beef up your profile—like selecting your interests or linking your Spotify profile—you could even get away with leaving your bio blank. (So long as your photos, music taste, and interests paint enough of a picture of who you are, that is.)

Nevertheless, if you do want to have something written and you’ve got a case of writer’s block, try a few of these bios and see if you notice an uptick in likes—you might find there’s a bio that makes your profile stand out that much more.
