How to build a good dating profile
A good dating profile combines 4-6 photos from different situations (not just selfies), a short bio with two concrete details about you, and a clear idea of what you're looking for. It's not about looking perfect - it's about letting the other person picture an actual date with you.
Filip (29) had five photos from a beach holiday in his profile and one with friends at a bar. He got matches, but the conversations died after a few messages - nobody had anything to ask about, because the photos didn't tell any story. When he swapped one for a photo of himself fixing his bike in the garage, he got his first message asking „what bike is that“ within the hour.
Photos, variety matters more than perfection
Six photos is the sweet spot. What should they show? One close-up of your face, one full-body shot, one from an activity or hobby, one social one (not a group photo where nobody can tell which one is you), one casual. Avoid heavily filtered photos and old snapshots - people notice on the first date and it reads as a lie, not an advantage.
Bio, two concrete details, not a list of adjectives
„I love travelling, good food and laughing“ says nothing - that's true of everyone. Instead try: „I spent the last year hunting for the best sushi in Prague. A bistro in Žižkov is winning so far, but I'm open to tips.“ A concrete detail gives the other person something to write about.
What you're looking for - say it plainly
This isn't about scaring people off with honesty, it's a filter that saves you time. „Looking for something serious“ or „just want to enjoy dating without pressure right now“ - both are fine, they just need to be written clearly.
Common mistakes
- A group photo as the first one (the other person can't tell which one is you)
- An empty bio or just emoji
- Photos older than a year
- Quotes instead of your own words
If writing a bio stresses you out because you know a huge number of people will be judging it, lāska.ai works differently - your profile text is read primarily by AI, which uses it to find concrete matches, not a crowd scrolling at swipe speed. Your bio doesn't need to „sell“ - it just needs to be true.

Frequently asked questions
How many photos should I have in my profile?
4-6 is enough. More photos don't raise the quality, they just extend the time the other person spends deciding - which usually makes a profile harder to remember, not easier.
Should I write what I don't want in my bio?
Briefly, yes; at length, no. One sentence like „looking for something serious, not a week-long chat“ works. A list of ten things you can't stand comes across as off-putting no matter how true it is.
Is it okay to use filtered photos?
A light edit (brightness, contrast) is fine. Filters that change the shape of your face aren't - on the first date they create a gap between expectation and reality that doesn't help the relationship.
