What Are the Best Comments to Leave on Hinge?

The best comments on Hinge name one detail she posted, take a playful side on it, and end on something easy to answer. They run one or two sentences. Below are examples for the common kinds of photo and prompt, and the comments that get ignored.

Your comment rides along with your like, so it is often the first thing she reads from you. It has one job: make her want to reply.

Three things do that. It is about her page, not about every woman on the app. It shows a bit of your own taste. And it ends where she can step in with a short answer. a dating coach says many of his own matches start from a comment that lands before the match even exists, which is why the words carry so much weight.

A photo gives you a place, an activity or a person to react to. Use that, not her face.

She is on a mountain trail: "That looks like a view you earned. Was the climb up worse than the walk down?"

She is holding a huge plate of food: "I need to know if you finished that, and I will believe the answer more if it came with a photo."

She is with a dog: "Your dog looks like he decides who gets in the house. What did I need to do to pass?"

She is at a concert: "That crowd looks loud in a good way. Best show you have been to?"

Each one shows you looked at the picture, and each leaves her a lane: a story, a ranking, a confession.

Prompts are easier, because she wrote words you can answer in words.

If the prompt is about a guilty pleasure: "Competitive baking shows, and you take sides? I have a strong opinion about the one with the tent, so you have been warned."

If it is about what wins her over: "Challenge accepted. I will get one decent joke in before the end of the first drink."

If it is about her worst habit: "Mine is the same one, but I deny it better. How long did you hold out before admitting it?"

If it is about something she is looking for: "Someone to try new restaurants with is a good deal, as long as the new place is worth it. How strict are your standards?"

The last one has a quiet bonus. It brings up an outing before you have even matched, which a dating coach recommends. A plan that is mentioned early in a playful way is easier to ask for later.

In a coaching review, a woman’s ‘Dating me is like’ answer was ‘eating cereal with a fork.’ The man later sent a long reply about wanting a crush on her and running the other way. The coach’s shorter edit was: ‘eating cereal with a fork is an obvious red flag.’ The review does not show that shorter line being sent by itself. The advice was: ‘Try and keep it to one or two ideas at most.’ The cereal joke gives her something to answer without the extra explanation.

If she wrote something funny, tell her it worked, then add one more beat: "That one actually got me. I will trade you the worst pun I know for the story behind it."

Do not explain her joke back to her. Do not laugh at it in capital letters. A short reaction and a small offer is enough.

Two sentences is the ceiling. A comment that runs three lines starts to look like you spent your evening writing to a stranger. Short reads as confident.

The test before you send: could this exact line go to any other woman on Hinge? If yes, rewrite it until it could only be for her.

A few fail reliably.

A compliment on her looks, because she has read it many times this week. A bare question such as "what do you do for fun?", because it hands her all the work. A line about you and your job, because it is about you before she cares. And "hey," which says you saw her page and had nothing to say about it.

If there is almost nothing on her page, use whatever is there: a caption, the place behind her, the activity in the photo. If there is truly nothing, that tells you something too.

The comment gets the like noticed. What you do next is what turns it into a date.

When she writes back, answer fast, give her something about yourself and keep your side brief. After a few exchanges, suggest a plan with a day and a place. a dating coach gets from a first line to a number in about four to seven texts, and a good comment is the reason those first few texts happen at all.

If your likes are getting no replies, the comment may be the cause, or the photos behind it may be. A coach can read both and tell you where she is losing interest.
