Have you detected yours?

Of course, the 'beige flags' vary from person to person and it may be difficult to discover all of them at once, but we do know

them .

For a profile to be perceived as real and authentic, the person must be shown as they are, they say from Bumble.

In addition, the more complete your profile is and the more sincere you are in the application showing what you want and what you are not interested in, the better.

Surely these

will help you to create a successful profile without falling into a 'beige flag' tone:

1. What makes you special?

Be specific: What do you like?

Do you have an unusual talent, a different hobby or a peculiar job?

Differentiate yourself from others and make your profile more attractive, highlighting three aspects that make you unique.

Nothing to comment on what many people like, makes a difference.

2. Add a bio to your profile.

Help others to get to know you better, include the most special facts about yourself that help break the ice.

3. Use interest stickers to show who you are.

These allow you to show what is truly important to you.

For example, indicating whether you're looking for a relationship, something casual, or "I'm not sure yet" will help the other person if they can fit your interests.

"Spanish singles who add at least one interest in their profiles see their monthly 'matches' increase by 195%", states the popular application, in addition to discovering the interests that prevail among Spanish users: photography, art, party, design and writing.

But do not hesitate to quote them, specify your favorite professionals in each subject, otherwise you will be just another "beige".

4. Use good photos.

Only you must appear in the profile photo.

A photo profile with friends can be confusing by not detecting who exactly is behind the profile.

According to data from the application, users who add more than 3 photos to their profile receive an average of 89% more monthly 'matches'.

But they recommend avoiding the typical photos sunbathing, selfies in the gym mirror without a shirt or photos from behind.

5. Be clear with what you are NOT looking for:

But without being borderline.

You can be honest without sounding too negative.

For example, instead of saying "I'm not looking for anything serious" or "I don't drink alcohol," you can rephrase it like this: "I'm looking for casual dates that are preferably 0% alcohol."

You are already warned, you only have to detect what makes you a unique person, touch up that profile and... the matches will rain down on you!
