The 3 styles of humor that work best on Hinge
1. Self-aware humor
Gentle, tasteful, human.
Example:
“I cook with confidence. Skill arrives later.”
2. Observational humor
Everyday details with a twist.
Example:
“My pet peeve is people who chew loudly. Unfortunately, I am one of them.”
3. Situation humor (safe and playful)
Not extreme. Not chaotic.
Example:
“My talent is misplacing my phone while holding it.”
A description of such scenarios makes people think, “Oh, I could talk to this person.”
