With piano piano, your dating profile is refreshingly simple: just one photo, your name, and your answer to a single, thoughtful question: “What motivates you?”
Here’s how it works: your profile is only visible to people you’ve already met in person and matched with on the app. That’s right—only those you’ve connected with face-to-face will see this profile, making it a perfect place to share just enough about yourself to spark a great conversation. So, let’s talk about how to answer that all-important question: what does motivate you?
The answer to what motivates you is a window into your passions, values, and personality—a great way to spark genuine connections. But when you're writing this, try to think beyond a how you might answer this in a job interview. The goal with asking this question is to show a bit of what lights you up and makes life interesting.
Here are some pointers to help you get started:
Focus on What You Love: Think about the things that make you feel excited, curious, or content. Maybe it's creativity, adventure, learning, or helping others. Maybe you feel most motivated when you’re listening to instrumental celtic electro-pop or always having a holiday booked. Perhaps, you’ve set yourself a goal to read 20 books this year which motivates you to find space in your life to read. Maybe seeing your phone usage stats has motivated you to look for hobbies to pursue?
Share What Fuels Your Goals: If there’s a goal or value that drives you, mention it. Do you value self-growth? What is self-growth to you and what are you seeking to achieve? Knowledge? Health? Everyone loves travelling and adventure but what about travelling motivates you? Is it escapism? Is it learning about other cultures? Is it the feeling of sand on your feet? Take a moment to really think about what gets you out of bed - what drives you.
Let Your Personality Shine: A little humour or personality can make your answer memorable. For example, "strong coffee, and a lifelong mission to open my own bakery" or “financial freedom, my puppy Oscar and my dad's never failing positivity" are some great examples.
Stay True to Yourself:Most importantly, keep it authentic. The best conversations happen when you’re honest about who you are and what moves you.
Keep it light, keep it you, and remember: this answer is a way to let someone catch a glimpse of the real you!
