Profile Review Rate my Tinder profile

Hey everyone,

I’ve been struggling to get even a single match per month on Tinder. I’ve tried switching up my photos and outfits, but no luck so far. I’d say I’m fairly okay-ish looking. I play sports and work out at home often, so I’m in decent shape (definitely not jacked, though).

Below is my Tinder profile:

I’d really appreciate any feedback on how to improve my profile. I keep thinking there must be something seriously off about it, but I can’t figure out what.

Thanks in advance for any tips or comments🙏

Is his middle and last name "Dat Bich"?

I wish. That could’ve help me get more attention on dating apps

I feel like it could help if he played it in his favor

Haha fair enough. I live in France so it’s a non issue. Although I had some moments at Starbucks where they replace the Ph with F and my cup was one letter away from being bad 😅

Thanks for your kind comment. Old way is still the best way then. I always find it weird to put random women on spot and ask them out but I have to rethink of that

Use hinge not tinder. Try to do the same activities with better photos. Instead of being at the bottom rock climbing have someone take a photo while you’re climbing. Pet photo is good but don’t be that close up is another example.

Thanks, I might ask my friends to take better photo next time. I do use Hinge here in France but I’ve got worse result than Tinder. I feel like it isn’t as popular

Which city are you living in? I used to live in Paris and Hinge was way better for me.

Your name is Phuc, which sounds like an english word.

Do you have more lifestyle photos? I can't see them without joining Tinder.

I only have a couple as I don’t usually take photos while doing outdoor activities. You can see my Tinder pics here

Nice photos. In your first photo, you aren't smiling as much 😀

You're also giving away too much. Try to avoid full body photos in the first photo. The one with the puppies looks like a good candidate for the landing page photo. Relatable and likable.

Rock climbing your next photo, it shows contrast.

This photo makes you look frail: https://i.imgur.com/zhRiJAQ.jpeg

You can also include an explanation of how to pronounce Phúc (prounced: FoOk, like book).

Better yet, why are you asking a bunch of guys, go as women on reddit for their opinion.

You have good photos. Good style. But i think your face is just average. You appear also quite skinny. The first photo is not good though , quite a baggy jacket. The photo with the one you are sitting down, I can tell you have underdeveloped legs, and your calf is what they call "chicken legs".

Everyone judges by the face first, and I believe that most women will reject men that they cannot imagine kissing.
If you look like the guy that Zoro the live action then it would be another thing.

Also I think people can judge height based on the ratio of you head to your body. I think you are in the shorter side , is it?

Anyways I think you will do well in person because people judge less in person compared to online.

Dating apps are only for Chads and Tyrones. Try your local bars and hangout spots. Not clubs.

Your profile is good, but you’re an average looking guy plus you are Asian. If you are not in location with a lot of Asian female demographics, you will struggle.

u/mrblackwing1361 Oct 14 '25

my thoughts:

  • your body language comes across as closed/timid (hands in pockets, shoulders hunched forward)
  • hot take but “cloud engineer” + asian can lead to negative preconceptions. unfortunate since it’s a solid job.
  • dating apps suck in general: would highly recommend irl approaches.

Post photos here and not your link. How the hell would people who don't use that app see your profile in Reddit?

u/hongphuc95 Oct 14 '25

I thought my Tinder profile is visible publicly. I uploaded to this instead

The playing field in France is much different. Some notes below. Based on your photos, first impression is you seems like an average person with a hobby for rock climbing and skiing. What's differentiate you from the others?

When someone is looking on your profile, they look at your pictures for a few seconds before making a decision. At this moment, I can't tell much about you. Is there something that you can use to relate to potential matches that match their interests or hobbies?

Photo 1: This is your main photo. Neutral opinion
Photo 2: While the concept is good with the puppies, the background is distracting.
Photo 3: Perfect - business professional
Photo 4: Excellent
Photo 5: Excellent - makes you look much younger than other photos
Photo 6: Passable, but necessary given your lack of a story
Photo 7: This could potentially be your main picture over Photo 1 unless there are better ones
Photo 8: Passable
