What Works Best On A Dating Profile: Jeff Kurkjian’s Takeover
Assistant Producer Shannon on The Andie Summers Show needs a dating profile makeover. She’s been on the apps before and experimented with different photos and prompts. Now, we’re helping her figure out what works best. We don’t need our girl to get more matches, rather we want her to get quality matches. How do we achieve that? It’s time for The Andie Summers Show to step in.
What Is Hinge?
Let’s start with what a Hinge profile looks like. Below, you’ll find the layout of the dating app, Hinge. To complete your profile, you must include 6 photos and 3 prompts of your choosing. You can also add in a voice message or a poll. Other users can then like or comment on specific photos or prompts. Unlike Bumble or Tinder, you cannot just “like” the whole profile. Once someone likes or comments on something specific from my profile, you’ll get a notification for a new like. From there, you have the option to respond or reject that person based on their profile. Hinge is the app designed to be deleted, so hopefully the rest is your future love story.
Why I (Jeff) Will Win This
For those who don’t know, I actually met my wife on a dating app. It wasn’t hinge but same principle. She was my first ever match on a dating app. That stat line is 100%, 1-for-1, champion right here. I was really excited to put her profile together because I remember swiping back in my day and can use my experience to better craft a profile that will succeed for Shannon.
No doubt in my mind that I will get more comments and matches than anyone else (maybe even more than Shannon) given my resume on this topic!

Photo #1 - Volunteering!!
Everyone loves a girl that has an arm for charity. I know for a fact that Philadoptables is a cause that Shannon and her family care deeply about and my guess would be any man that’s with her would be volunteering too eventually! Might as well put that in the first photo.Prompt #1 - Two Truths And A Lie
Two Truths and a Lie… My coworkers call me “Big Dimps,” I’m a Dallas Cowboys fan, my sister and I get carded everywhere we go (see last picture)I thought that this would be really interactive for possible dates to respond to (and get upset about). Going for the shock factor with the Dallas Cowboys lie here.Photo #2 - The Morning Show!
Well obviously I had to include myself in this dating profile, right? We’ve already established which woman would be Shannon. We’ve said that this is “the most attractive photo our show has ever taken” so I had to put it in.Photo #3 - DRINKS
I’m pretty sure I took this photo to be honest. I remember telling Shannon to put the drink next to her head because it was just as big as her head. Tidal Wave 2022, what a great time! Plus it shows that she knows how to have fun.Prompt #2 - The one thing I would love to know about you is...
I think this is important to know. I mean, it doesn’t HAVE to be XTU but I would be curious what stations a potential date would be listening to. Radio is a hugely important to Shannon so I love this prompt.Photo #4 - Pic With A Country Star
Had to throw in a photo from Shannon’s adventure to Nashville for the CMAs. And, who better than Jordan Davis to be her photo partner here. You can make the assumption that he is NOT a boyfriend given the set background and what not. That way guys won’t get intimidated.Prompt #3 - The way to win me over is...
Shannon loves to go out with friends but at her core, she is a homebody. Nothing she loves more than a comfortable couch, a blanket, a cocktail and Saturday Night Live on the TV.Photo #5 - POSE
POSE! Shannon loves nature. Had to brighten up the winter days with this shot of her in the warmest of weather. I feel I’m really gonna win this thing for sure.Photo #6 - SISTAS
As referenced in my “Two Truths and a Lie” prompt, I had to add a picture of her sister. I liked this one cause they kinda look exactly like each other. Yep, for sure I am winning this thing.
