The user.description field is currently a VARCHAR(255), which is rather limited/short. If this field was changed to TEXT instead, the limitation would be removed.

I have thought about that, but it is really necessary? The current description length is currently limited to 200, and other dating sites also have a rather short description length limit (I've seen 200 and 260).

255 chars may be enough for any Tinder kind of apps - however there are use cases where longer intros are key and this is critical (mine is one of those) - it's optional of course but there is absolutely no downside in allowing this field to be longer. Any shorter limit configured in the props will still work if the database field is of TEXT type instead of VARCHAR(255).
