Low-Effort Bio

Phenomenon

A profile bio that's blank, generic or three emojis, signaling minimal investment.

What it means

A low-effort bio is one of the strongest negative signals on a dating app: blank, three random emojis, '6'2"' as the entire bio, or just an Instagram handle. Even one specific sentence outperforms blank or generic bios significantly, because it gives the viewer something to react to.
