30 funny dating profile examples or how not to write one

01/16/2026 by Roy Sutton

Today, I have been collecting funny dating profile examples for your amusement, dear reader.

In days gone by, the dating game was simple. You went to a dance on a Saturday night, and, with a bit of luck, you met someone nice who was willing to see you again.

Obviously, the modern dating scene is very different. The age of the dating app makes the process difficult, insofar as you don’t get to meet someone unless they like what they see and what you have to say in your profile.

So you need a flattering photo, naturally, as well as a good sales pitch. And it really needs to be a sales pitch because you are actually trying to sell yourself to any potential dates who are checking out your profile.

A good sales pitch should highlight your unique selling proposition and the reasons why you’re a worthy date. Your words should be positive and scream:

I’m a great catch, so grab me while I’m still available.

In short, your words should be a call to action.

Any decent salesperson could tell you this, so there’s nothing unique in what I’m saying here. You’d think it was obvious, wouldn’t you?

Following a close inspection of a few dating apps, though, I can tell you that there are plenty of people out there who haven’t done themselves any favours with their profiles.

However, whilst such people don’t necessarily do themselves any favours with their profiles, their words have the potential to make us all laugh.

So here are 30 funny dating profile examples that really made me smile.

These are from real apps, albeit I wonder whether some were written tongue-in-cheek.
