The recycled stuff ("fluent in sarcasm") starts nothing. These do the opposite — playful, specific, and built to get a reply. Fill in the [brackets] with what's actually true for you.
A good bio line makes you sound like one specific person and hands the reader an obvious thing to message about. Steal a shape, make it yours.
"I will judge you, kindly, on your [coffee order]. Mine's a flat white and a very strong opinion."
Why it works · a clear point of view + an easy reply hook
"Can talk for three hours about [your obsession] and absolutely zero minutes about [blind spot]."
Why it works · specific + self-aware + a little funny
"Looking for someone to lose at [board game] to, then demand a rematch over [your go-to food]."
Why it works · paints an actual first date in one line
"On a serious mission to find the best [dish] in [your area]. Currently 0 for 12. Recommendations encouraged."
Why it works · playful, local, invites a suggestion
"I have one (1) controversial opinion about [everyday thing] and I'm fully prepared to defend it on date one."
Why it works · teases a debate without giving it away
"My love language is sending you the [bakery / spot] we're going to argue about and then go to anyway."
Why it works · warm, specific, a tiny bit cheeky
"Hey" gets you nowhere. React to one specific thing on their profile — it proves you looked, and gives them an easy way back in. Match the move to the signal.

"Your bookshelf is a flex. Best and worst thing you've read this year — go."
Specific, a little playful, low effort to answer
"Strong stance required: is [their dish] overrated? My respect for you hangs in the balance."
Playful stakes = they want to defend it

Uses their own words back, opens a game
