Why These Work (And How to Write Your Own)

The best "simple pleasures" answers succeed because they're:

  • Relatable but specific
  • Slightly quirky but not trying too hard
  • Universal experiences described in a personal way
  • Easy to respond to with a shared story

When crafting your answer, aim for that sweet spot between:

  • Too basic: "Good coffee"
  • Just right: "Finding that one coffee shop where the barista knows your order and always draws a different doodle on your cup"
  • Too much: "Single-origin, shade-grown Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee beans ground precisely 13 minutes before brewing"

The goal is to show you appreciate life's little moments while giving potential matches a glimpse into your personality. Pick something that genuinely brings you joy – authenticity is the best conversation starter.

Pro Tip: If your simple pleasure makes someone think "Yes! I thought I was the only one!" – you've nailed it. Because sometimes the best connections start with sharing the smallest joys.
