Crack open the red wine, put on your Fenty red lipstick, and whip out your hinge, because today we have a Valentines special episode.   

Toady, I am gonna be joining my friend Bekah Slider, and we are going to roast some hinge profiles. This isn’t just just to make sure  your hinge profile isn’t giving people the ick, but also some messaging tips you can walk away with.

So if you are on the apps maybe you'll get some actual advice that makes your profile better and makes it that you're able to get a date this Valentine's Day. 

But here’s the deeper truth underneath all the hinge profile tips and dating app messaging advice:

  • Confusion repels.
  • Specificity attracts.
  • Negativity pushes people away.
  • Playfulness pulls people closer.

And this isn’t just about dating. This is about attracting what you want in life or in your business through the magic of the right words. 

Because whether you’re attracting clients, customers, or dates, the principles are exactly the same.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Roasting real Hinge profiles (and what they accidentally reveal)
  • The biggest messaging mistakes people make on dating apps
  • What your dating profile says about your confidence and identity
  • Why clarity is the most attractive thing you can communicate
  • Messaging lessons you can apply to your business, brand, and relationships
  • How to create intrigue without creating confusion
  • The difference between authentic transparency and emotional leakage
  • Why the right people respond faster when your messaging is honest
