How to Reorder Your Prompts on Hinge

Tap the Photo Icon, then the Pencil Icon next to your profile photo, and drag and drop your prompts into the order you want. Tap Done when you are happy with the changes. You can reorder as often as you like, and because your prompts do the job a bio does on other apps, the order decides which answer she reads first.

Hinge's help center gives the steps like this:

1. Tap the Photo Icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
2. Tap the Pencil Icon next to your profile picture.
3. Drag each prompt up or down and drop it where you want it.
4. Tap Done to save the new order.

The same screen is where you edit an answer or swap a question, so reordering is a good moment to check that every answer still deserves its place. Hinge only shows a few written answers at a time. None of them should be filler.

Order matters because her attention is not spread evenly. The first answer she reads is the one she reads while she is still deciding whether you are worth the time.

If that answer lands, she reads the rest in a good mood. If it is flat, she may never get as far as your best line. Your strongest answer does the most good at the top, and your weakest does the least harm at the bottom.

Before any likes come in, you have to judge strength yourself. Pick the answer that shows the most about you in the fewest words. It is usually the one with something specific in it: a place, a habit, an opinion or a small embarrassing moment.

a dating coach gives a simple rule for ordering. The first answers should establish value: they show you are interesting, sure of yourself and fun to be around. The comfort answer, the warm one about what kind of partner you would be, comes later. His own example is a set where the first two answers build value and the third is the comfort one.

He calls out one opening in particular. Men often lead with an answer about hoping to find a real connection. It is the first thing she sees, it asks for warmth before she has any reason to feel it, and it is a little hard to read. As coach puts it, "confusion doesn't lead to swipes."

Both kinds of answer belong on your page. A page with no comfort at all can read cold. The order is what decides whether she meets the interesting man first or the nice one.

You do not have to guess which answer is best. On Hinge a woman can like or comment on one specific prompt, so your incoming likes show you which answer is pulling its weight.

a dating coach points out that women often like the same prompt again and again, sometimes without writing a word. That repetition is useful information. The answer that draws the most likes and comments belongs at the top. The one that has not drawn a comment in weeks should move down or be rewritten.

He adds a practical tip. Because the same prompt keeps getting liked, the same reply keeps working. Once you find a response to that prompt's likes that gets a good reaction, you can use it again every time.

Once you have an order, look at it as a stranger would. Tap your Photo Icon, tap the Pencil Icon, and tap View at the top of the screen to see your page the way other members see it.

Read it from top to bottom and ask two things. Does the first answer make you want to keep reading? Do the answers sound like one man, or like three strangers who each wrote a line?

Spread out answers that do the same job. If your two funniest lines sit next to each other, the second one lands softer than it should. Put something sincere between them and each joke gets its own moment.

Reordering is the cheapest test on Hinge. There is nothing to write and nothing to photograph, only a different first impression. a dating coach tells men to keep testing their pages instead of writing one draft and giving up when it does not work.

Move one answer, leave it for a week or two, and watch whether the likes and comments shift. Then keep the new order or put it back.

Do only one thing at a time. If you reorder and rewrite on the same day and your likes pick up, you will have no idea which change did it, and you will not know what to repeat next time.
