What to Write in Your Single Mum Tinder Bio

Last updated on July 22nd, 2023 at 12:38 pm

Has the thought of writing your single mum tinder bio got your knickers in a twist?

Knowing what to write in a tinder bio or online dating profile is hard enough, but when you’ve got kids it’s another level of difficult!

Should I Declare My Kids in My Bio?

You might be thinking that if you say in your bio that you’re a single mum, you might not get as much interest. Well, that might be true!

Don’t take that personally, it’s people’s right to choose who they want to date and what sort of situation they’re looking for.

If someone isn’t open to dating you because you have children, you might as well filter that person out straight away instead of wasting time for both of you.

The best thing is to keep it short and simple, and at the beginning of your bio to get straight to the point;

Sara, 28
Mum of one under 5, I love long walks through Home Bargains and ‘All you can eat’ buffets…

Here’s One Thing That You SHOULDN’T Write, and It Might Surprise You

A common phrase that pops up in a single mum tinder bio is the classic “my kids come first”. Of course, that is true, your kids do come first – but that’s kind of a given, isn’t it? Is it necessary to say?

Imagine you find a guy on tinder and his profile says “my Mum comes first”. Yes, we all love our Mums… but writing that comes off a little odd.

It can be offputting for people to read something like that in a dating profile because it instantly pushes them away and gives off an “I don’t have time for you” vibe.

There are subtle and polite ways to let someone know that you have to make time for your children.

You can bring it up organically once you get talking with someone and to be honest, they probably will have already put it together for themselves anyway. If they haven’t, that’s kind of a red flag.

In a Single Mum Tinder Bio, Self-Love is Key

Believe it or not, there are some low-life’s out there who think that single mums are easy targets. They think we’re prime meat for dating because we’re sad, lonely and desperate. Newsflash, guys, that’s simply not true at all.

Wheedle out those dip sh*ts by making it clear that you’re happy! And have your life together just fine on your own, thank you very much. You’re simply looking for someone to share the happiness with.

Mention your hobbies and interests. The things that make you really content. Be 100% yourself and let your best self shine through your words. Personality is everything!

There’s nothing more attractive than someone who has a healthy sense of self-confidence and is happy in their own skin!

What Photos Should I Add To My Profile?

As much as your kids are probably the biggest part of your life, I would advise that it’s never a good idea to add photos of your children to your online dating profile.

Edit them out, cover their faces, or better yet- just stick to photos that only show you.

Don’t over-edit your pictures or go too heavy on filters. Even if you are a little body conscious – the hope is that you’re at some point going to meet this person, right? So just be authentic from the start.

It’ll make that first meeting so much more relaxed and comfortable knowing you’re walking in as what they’re expecting.

Red Flags to Look For in Their Profile

• If you’re looking for true love but they say they’re looking for something casual, believe them! Don’t think that you’ll change their mind once they meet you. You probably won’t.
  
• Be suspicious if they’re asking too many questions. Especially if they’re about your kids. Or if you get the vibe that they are particularly interested in you because you have children. Never reveal any details such as your kids nicknames or what school they go to, to someone you don’t know.
  
• If they’re a single parent too, but they give you the “my ex won’t let me see the kids” spiel… Yep – regard that as a warning sign. If someone else doesn’t want them to be around their own children, why would you want this person around yours? Cut your losses now. Don’t wait until 5 months down the line when you find out the hard way why that was the case.
