15 Tinder Bio Ideas To Use During The Coronavirus Outbreak
There's no better time for using dating apps than when you're stuck at home. Tinder may have once had a reputation as a hookup app, but in the age of the coronavirus outbreak, it's become a way for people to connect and have fun while practicing social distancing. According to a spokesperson for Tinder, more people are now using their Tinder bios to show their concern for others, with top bio terms now including stay home, be safe, social distancing, "how are you," and wash your hands. If you're in need of Tinder bio ideas during the coronavirus outbreak, then I've got some suggestions that are sure to make potential matches smile during this trying time.
Ever since the global pandemic caused the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to recommend social distancing, activity is spiking on dating apps and Tinder is reporting a 10-15% increase in daily conversation. While dating apps have begun encouraging users to date virtually from home, changing your Tinder bio can help you make a connection regardless. A little levity can go a long way in putting people at ease in the face of so much uncertainty, and these Tinder bio suggestions are a great way to get a convo going.
