Having trouble sparking lively debates or get your dating community talking? Fact or Fiction posts are a proven way to ignite curiosity and invite everyone to join in. These templates make it effortless to create irresistible posts that challenge common dating beliefs and get your members guessing.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Fact or Fiction content taps into our natural curiosity and love for debunking myths, making it a powerful tool for community engagement. By presenting statements that contradict or confirm dating assumptions, you invite members to interact, share their opinions, and reveal their own experiences. This format is inherently interactive, prompting not just quick votes but also deeper conversations and debates.
Such posts lower the barrier to participation because members only need to respond with 'fact' or 'fiction' (or a simple vote), making them especially appealing to lurkers or newer members. The reveal or discussion of the answer afterward encourages longer engagement and learning, while also building trust in your community's credibility. This approach also helps surface interesting insights and diverse perspectives within your dating community.

To use these templates, simply copy and paste them into your community platform as posts, stories, or chat prompts. Start by posting the statement and asking members to vote or comment with 'fact' or 'fiction.' After some engagement, follow up with the answer, relevant stats, or a discussion prompt. Rotate templates regularly to keep content fresh, and consider customizing examples to reflect your community's unique culture or trending topics.
For all platforms, keep statements concise and visually distinct. Use polls, stickers, or reaction buttons where available to make it easy for members to participate. On forums or chat, tag active members or use hashtags to boost visibility. Always create a follow-up post or comment to reveal the answer and foster further discussion.
To effectively debunk dating myths, choose widely believed but outdated ideas (such as messaging rules or profile picture advice) and present factual, research-backed information in your posts. Use clear examples and reference current dating trends or expert insights to help members distinguish between old-school rules and modern dating realities.
Tackle complex behaviors such as ghosting or breadcrumbing by framing common assumptions (e.g., 'If someone ghosts you, it means you did something wrong') as Fact or Fiction questions. Provide nuanced explanations in your answers, acknowledging the emotional impact and guiding members on healthy responses or prevention strategies.
Customize your posts by referencing app-specific features or cultures. For example, address myths like 'Women always make the first move on Bumble' or 'Hinge is only for serious relationships.' This specificity increases relatability and encourages community members to share their own experiences on those platforms.
Absolutely. Use the templates to bust myths like 'It’s safe to meet someone after just a few messages' or 'Sharing your location with a match is low-risk.' Incorporate expert safety tips and promote best practices for in-person meetings to foster a responsible and informed community culture.
Create posts around common beliefs like 'Including group photos increases your matches' or 'Longer bios get more attention.' Share evidence from dating app research or real user data to clarify what really works. This encourages members to improve their profiles based on facts, not misconceptions.
When addressing sensitive or potentially divisive topics, present both sides with empathy. Acknowledge that preferences vary but use data or expert opinions to guide the discussion. Encourage respectful debate and remind members to avoid personal attacks, fostering a supportive and inclusive community atmosphere.
