dating profiles

Digital courtship summaries

Dating profiles are the self-descriptions people create on dating apps and websites to attract potential partners.

They typically include photos, biographical details, and statements about interests or what someone is looking for: His dating profile said he loved hiking, but he'd never left the couch.

The genre invites self-presentation that ranges from earnest to strategic to outright deceptive.
