SCRIPT CHECK · 60 SECONDS
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “I shortened my dating app bio so 'accountant' doesn't scare off matches”, including the private rule underneath it: If a stranger sees the word 'accountant' before they see anything else about you, the swipe is already decided — so the job title has to be managed and softened before the actual person ever gets a chance to react to it.
QUIET
“I shortened my dating app bio so 'accountant' doesn't scare off matches” appears, but it rarely gets the final say. Keep this line available for higher-pressure moments: “The word 'accountant' isn't deciding the swipe — it's one line in a profile no one's finished reading yet.”
PRESENT
“I shortened my dating app bio so 'accountant' doesn't scare off matches” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “I can write what I actually do without pre-deciding how a stranger will take it.”
ACTIVE
“I shortened my dating app bio so 'accountant' doesn't scare off matches” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: Open a private note and write both versions of your bio's job line, with 'accountant' and without, then read each one aloud once before deciding anything.
DOMINANT
Right now, “I shortened my dating app bio so 'accountant' doesn't scare off matches” is steering many of the moments you measured. That is a pattern reading, not a diagnosis or character verdict. Begin with one reversible receipt: Open a private note and write both versions of your bio's job line, with 'accountant' and without, then read each one aloud once before deciding anything.
