15 funny Hinge prompts to help break the ice

HINGE is one of the most popular dating apps in the world, with more than 23million users flocking to the platform in search of love last year.

But it can be hard to stand out in a sea of singletons, and it's even harder to show your funny side when you're forced to confine your personality inside a handful of written prompts.

So, here's some inspiration.

What does 'green flags I look for' mean on Hinge prompts?

A so-called 'green flag' is internet-speak for 'good qualities'.

They are the opposite of a red flag, or a red stop sign - which are bad news.

Instead, they're signs that you are compatible with a person.

What should you not put on your Hinge profile?

When it comes to prompts, it's best to avoid repeating yourself - never mention the same thing twice.

You only have a certain number of prompts to show off your personality, so make each one count and avoid basing them on the same subject.

Don't choose generic answers either.

Everyone knows that pineapple on pizza is a controversial opinion - make up something new.

Never cry over your break-up either.

In fact, don't mention it at all because other people will read that as you being emotionally unavailable for a new fling.

Lastly, don't demean yourself or use too much self-depreciating humour.

Be confident in yourself and put your best foot forward, that way other Hinge users will see you in your best light.

When it comes to pictures, avoid these six pitfalls:

• Choosing filters or tools that change your face or body
• Posting pictures of you with your ex-partner
• Uploading too many selfies
• Choosing pictures in which you are covering your face with a hat, sunglasses or hand pose
• Removing too many clothes unless you are at the beach or vacationing outdoors
• Having too many group pictures - it's important for other users to know which face is yours
