Find yourself
Give readers a way to locate themselves.
“the vibes I get from you based on your birthday!”Creator example: @styless4u (opens in a new tab)
Seven birthdays receive different color-and-object collages; the closing asks for dates for another installment.
The lookup gives people a reason to swipe. Treat these assignments as a playful choice, not personality evidence.
The payoff: Offer distinct categories people can choose between.
