Online dating has become the norm. In 2025, millions of Belgians scroll through profiles every day, hoping to find that one special connection. Yet we often see the same thing: blurry photos, empty bios, and generic openers. A missed opportunity. Your profile is your first impression. And on platforms like Celsius, where highly educated singles are looking for real connections, your content matters even more.
So how do you create a profile that stands out and resonates in 2025? Below you'll find concrete tips, especially for people who value intellect in dating.
1. Choose the right profile photo (and the right order)
In 2025, it's more true than ever: your first photo decides whether someone keeps scrolling. Choose a recent, clear photo of just you. No sunglasses, no group shots. Just as important: vary your photo selection. Include pictures of you doing something (reading, cooking, travelling). These say more than a staged selfie. Show who you are.
🔸 Celsius tip: Celsius users are just a bit more discerning. A chaotic or messy profile gets skipped quickly. You don't need to be a model, but you should come across as intentional.
2. Write a bio that actually says something
"Adventurous. Loves to travel. Enjoys life." Sound familiar? Sure. Memorable? Not at all. In 2025, people are tired of seeing the same recycled lines. What works: specific info with a personal touch.
👉 Example:
Bad: "I love books."
Better: "Into behavioural psychology non-fiction. Latest read: ‘The Paradox of Choice'."
A strong bio sparks curiosity, invites conversation, and shows character.
🔸 Celsius tip: on an app where users are more intentional, a clever or thoughtful bio will get read. Use that space.
3. Be honest about what you want
Looking for a serious relationship? Say so.
Open to something more casual, but with depth? Be clear about that.
In 2025, no one wants to waste time on vague profiles. Authenticity is everything. Especially on Celsius, where most users have consciously chosen a community that looks beyond surface-level attraction.
4. Show ambition without showing off
No need to exaggerate your degree or job. But on an app like Celsius, where everyone has at least a bachelor's degree, it's totally fine to highlight what drives you.
👉 "Master's in marketing, currently doing PhD research on consumer behaviour."
👉 "Working in HR at a scale-up, dreaming of launching a wellness brand focused on mental health."
Ambition is attractive, but only when it feels genuine.
🔸 Celsius tip: Celsius was built for people like you. People who think, plan, stay curious. Highlight that.
5. Keep your profile fresh
A profile stuck in 2022 on an app in 2025? You'd be surprised how obvious it is.
Keep your bio, photos, and interests up-to-date. It shows effort and relevance.
6. Let your personality shine through
In a world full of algorithms and AI-generated content, real personality wins. Use language that actually sounds like you. Avoid quotes or prompts that don't say anything real.
People want to know you, not what ChatGPT would say about you.
Final thought: put in the effort
A strong profile takes time. But if you're serious about dating, it's the best investment you can make.
And on Celsius, that effort pays off.
You're not flooded with fake profiles or meaningless likes. Your matches are with real, verified students and graduates. People who, like you, are looking for connection with substance.
You don't have to fight for attention. But you do need to show who you are.
