Yes, you can find a serious relationship on Tinder. No, that doesn't mean writing "NOT HERE FOR HOOKUPS" in caps.
The real question is: how do you attract people who want the same thing as you, without pushing everyone away?
That's exactly what we're going to cover. Bios that say "I'm looking for someone special" without sounding desperate or boring.

The Problem with "Serious" Bios
Most bios trying to attract serious people make these mistakes:
❌ Too Defensive
"Not here for hookups. If that's what you're looking for, move along."
That pushes EVERYONE away, not just casual daters. Even good people think "she seems bitter."
❌ Too Generic
"Looking for a beautiful story. Someone sincere and authentic."
That's... everyone? It says nothing about you.
❌ Too Serious (Literally)
"I'm looking for my soulmate to build a life project together."
We're on Tinder, not a website for buying a house. Calm down.
❌ List of Requirements
"You must be emotionally stable, have a job, no drama..."

What Actually Works
1. Show Who You ARE, Not What You WANT
Instead of saying "I'm looking for someone who...", show your personality. The right people will come naturally.
"Coffee in the morning, hike on weekends, shows at night. Looking for someone for all 3."
"I finally figured out how to keep plants alive. Next step: keeping a relationship alive."
2. Be Specific
"I love traveling" = generic "I want to see the Northern Lights in Iceland" = interesting
"My 2026 goals: learn Italian, run a half-marathon, and find someone who can handle my 4-hour playlists."
3. A Little Humor, A Lot of Authenticity
You don't need to be the king of jokes. Just... human.
"33, finally know the difference between compatibility and chemistry. (Spoiler: you need both)"
"Looking for someone to watch nature documentaries AND go out on Saturday night. The complete package."
4. An Opening Without Pressure
Invite conversation without making it sound like an ultimatum.
"Tell me your favorite restaurant in this city and I'll tell you if I'm inviting you."
"Fan of [thing], so if you have an opinion on that, we already have a conversation topic."
35+ Serious Relationship Bio Examples
The "Authentic and Direct" Style
"Engineer by day, amateur chef by night. Looking for someone to taste my culinary experiments and honestly tell me if they're edible."
"34, divorced, 0 drama. I know what I want now: someone good to build something that lasts."
"I do my grocery shopping on Sundays, call my parents every week, and prefer real conversations over games. Yes, I'm old-fashioned."
"I'm past the 'let's see where it goes' stage. Either we invest, or we don't waste our time. But I'm nice, I promise."
The "Humor + Substance" Style
"Looking for someone to debate important topics. Like: what's the best cheese and why is it gouda?"
"My type: someone who knows what they want at a restaurant. Says a lot about a person I think."
"I'm the guy who stays to clean up after parties. That pretty much sums up my personality."
"Pro tip: I'm terrible at first dates, but pretty good at the next 50."
The "Clear Values" Style
"Family, friends, meaningful work. In that order. If that resonates, we might have things to talk about."
"I'd rather have a quiet Sunday with you than an exciting week without you. Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, I own it."
"You don't need to share all my hobbies, but my values yes. Loyalty, humor, and knowing how to apologize."
"I believe in real conversations, mutual effort, and the fact that love is built day by day."
The "Descriptive and Vivid" Style
"Typical Sunday: market in the morning, cooking in the afternoon, movie at night. Looking for someone to replace my cousin on the couch."
"French teacher, jazz and hiking enthusiast. Looking for someone to discover weird restaurants and mountain trails with."
"Been in NYC for 10 years, still amazed by this city. I want someone to explore with (and tolerate me taking 10,000 photos)."
The "Inviting" Style
"If you want conversations that last 3 hours without noticing time passing, we have things to discuss."
"I'd rather get to know each other over coffee than chat for weeks. You in?"
"Tell me your current show and I'll propose a deal: I watch yours, you watch mine."
"Fan of [activity]. If you've never tried it and you're curious, I can teach you."
The "Effective Minimalist" Style
"Looking for someone for the long term. Coffee?"
"32. NYC. Serious but not boring."
"I like people. Especially one person at a time."
"Here to find MY person. Not perfect, just perfect for me."
How to Show You're Serious WITHOUT Saying It
The secret: details speak louder than declarations.
Talk About the Future
"Can't wait to find someone for the Christmas markets this year."
That shows you're thinking beyond a drink.
Mention Couple Activities
"Looking for my road trip / Sunday brunch / Netflix debate partner."
That naturally projects into a relationship.
Show Stability
"7 years at my job, 5 years in my apartment, 0 years on this app (it's new)."
Reassuring without being a resume.
Be Vulnerable (A Little)
"I know what it's like to fall for the wrong person. This time I'm taking my time."
That shows maturity.
Bios That Scare Off Serious People

- Empty bios — Says "I make no effort"
- "Let's see where it goes" — Too vague for people who know what they want
