Pick your intent first
Your intent is the most important thing on your profile because it filters who sees you and how they read everything else. Hookups, Something Casual, Dating & Vibes, 420 & Chill, Party / Nightlife, Open to Relationship, Travel Connections or Just Looking. Choose the ones that are true today. You can change them any time.
Choose vibes that describe your actual week
Vibes are how people decide whether they would enjoy an evening with you.
- Pick the ones you would happily do this weekend, not the ones you aspire to
- Three to six vibes is enough; a wall of chips says nothing
- If you are 420 friendly or smoke-free, say so; it saves an awkward moment later
- Night owl or early riser matters more than people think for same-night plans
Photos and the one line
Use a recent, clear photo of your face first, then one that shows your life. No group shots as the first photo, no heavy filters, nothing older than a year. Then write one honest sentence about what you are up for: “Drinks in Shoreditch and seeing where it goes” beats a paragraph every time.
Questions people ask
What should I put on a hookup app profile?
A clear intent, three to six vibes that describe your real life, a recent photo of your face and one honest line about what you are up for.
Should I say I only want something casual?
Yes. On HookUs that is what the intent chips are for. Being clear attracts people who want the same thing and filters out people who do not.
Can I change my intent later?
Yes. Intents and vibes can be updated at any time from your profile.
