The 20 Best Funny Hinge Messages to Land More Dates

Being funny makes you more attractive. A psychology study on interpersonal attraction revealed that people with a good sense of humor "received significantly higher ratings of attractiveness and suitability than did those with an average or no sense of humor."

With profile prompts and a focus on serious relationships, Hinge is the perfect dating app to make your funny side count. But making someone else laugh isn't always easy, so we're here to help! Below, you can find 20 awesome examples of funny Hinge messages to help you land more dates than ever.

Funny Conversation Starters

1. "Do you believe in love at first swipe, or should I unmatch and swipe again?"
2. "Why did the bike fall over? Because it was two-tired (like me after our first date)."
3. "How do you make a tissue dance? Put a little boogie on it! Now, how do I make YOU dance with me?"
4. "Why did your profile picture go to jail? Because it was framed!"
5. "Why did the cookie go to the hospital? Because it felt crummy! Don’t worry, I’ve got the cure!"

Short jokes can act as perfect Hinge conversation starters, especially if they're in some way connected to your match's profile. When opening with a light joke, try to include a compliment or an open-ended question; otherwise, you risk getting nothing but a "LOL" for an answer.

Funny Replies to Prompts

1. "I'm weirdly attracted to… Anyone who can handle my terrible dad jokes."
2. "My most irrational fear is… Running out of coffee on a Monday morning!"
3. "The way to win me over is… Quoting The Office as if you knew it by heart."
4. "I'm the type of texter who… Sends you 50 memes before even saying Hello."
5. "My love language is… Acts of service, like stealing the last slice of cake."

The Hinge prompts are designed to foster engagement in the platform and can be useful for showing your funny side to matches. By having a funny answer ready to popular prompts such as "Dating me is like…," you can get ahead of the competition and come out as a clever person with quick, witty comebacks.

Funny Questions

1. "What's the weirdest thing you've ever Googled?"
2. "If animals could talk, which would be the rudest?"
3. "If you were a sitcom character, what would be your catchphrase?"
4. "You're a supervillain—what's your secret plot to conquer the world?"
5. "If you could swap a body part for any object, what would it be?"

Funny Hinge questions don't have to be jokes per se, but they should inspire funny conversations. Go for topics that have some juice to them, and try to have a cool, funny answer ready for every question. For matches with a sexier, casual attitude, check out our flirty questions to ask on Hinge.

Funny Flirty Messages

1. "Do you have a name, or should I call you mine?"
2. "Is your name Google? Because you're everything I've been searching for…"
3. "Can I borrow an eraser? Because I just can't get you out of my mind!"
4. "Do you like Star Wars? Because I feel like Yoda one for me."
5. "Can you give me my jaw back? It dropped when I saw your profile picture."

Complimentary and classic, funny flirty messages can get you far on dating apps like Hinge as long as they're used timely and tastefully. A good practice is to focus on messages based on things your matches enjoy, like that Star Wars pick-up line on number 4! Everything can be a source of inspiration, from Marvel to Harry Potter.

Rules For Being Funny on Hinge

Mashable asked five rom-com authors what it takes to write witty banter on dating apps, and their suggestions included "embracing your own sense of humor" and "taking risks." If that sounds a little bit too abstract to you, that's because it is!

No matter how hard we try, there's no science to being funny, nor no guaranteed set of actions for making someone else laugh. So, the best we can do to keep our humorous side under control on Hinge is to pay attention to the things we should NOT do:

• Stay away from racist, sexist, or offensive messages. Nothing kills the mood like a tasteless joke!
• Use humor to tease your matches, not to make fun of them! Dating apps can be "soul-destroying," so do your best to respect and protect other people's feelings.
• Avoid gratuitous sarcasm or overly negative jokes, as they can make you look like a pessimistic person.
• Some self-deprecation is nice, but don't take it too far! It's funny to laugh at ourselves, but only if we do it confidently and in healthy doses.
• If someone doesn't respond to your humor, don't take it personally. Funny or not, rejection is just a natural part of dating apps.
