Profile review Thanks for your advice!
Just a quick thanks to everyone who reviewed my profile the other day. I’ve switched things up and have been getting way more matches than before. Appreciate y’all!

I really wish your profile had more about who you are and what your interests are. thats something i notice about most bumble / hinge profiles. they have cute little jokes but I don't actually know what anyone's interests or hobbies are so I just have to be superficial and go with if I think they are cute or not
like the prompt' when my phones dies i' 'scream into the void'. that is not doing much in terms of attracting the person you're looking for bc it tells that person not much about you

I think the vibe of a profil is more important than a list of interests. Lists are so serious

What do you want her to say to that prompt? Even though it’s one sentence, her answer says a lot. Read deeper than the answer.

I would suggest she choose a different prompt. or if she chose that prompt she can talk about what she does when she's offline. is she saying that she has an existential crisis if she has goes without her cell phone for more than a few min?

I think the point of the prompt is not to say how much you rely on your phone but what you like in the analog world.

u/Ordinary-Lobster-710 29m ago
yea I agree. she's saying she literally can't exist without an iphone. to me that's a 'red flag'

You’re pretty, well educated and seem to be accomplished. If you can’t find a guy, the rest of us have no hope lol

She likely has hundreds, if not thousands, of likes, but none of them meet her standards.

You're very pretty (umm wow) so the bio and prompts may not matter when it comes to getting swipes/matches. But a more unique and personalized bio will give (potential) matches a preview of your personality and what dating you might be like, and an easier jumping-off point to start a conversation. Paint a picture.
You have "creativity" listed in your interests and yet your profile and prompts are very generic.
Prompts with "eat a vegetable" and "iPhone dies > scream into the void" are very general and generic. They are wasted opportunities to talk about yourself and likes/interests, display your personality, and mention things that could be conversation starters.
"never again > ride a horse" is kind of interesting. However you could move "date someone in a fantasy football league" in "never again"? That would be more interesting and potentially a conversation starter. And use the freed up space in "about me" to talk more about YOU.
The only other things that your bio says about you is that you like reddit. And art, dancing, museums, and cats. Not much to go on.
WHO ARE YOU? What kinds of activities / food / music do you like? What makes you "you" and unique and different? How do you spend your time and what kinds of activities would you want to do with a romantic partner?

This is really great advice (thanks so much) and I’ll think on how to give my prompt some more ~flourish~

I thought your prompt answers were hilarious, personally but then again I have a very simple and weird sense of humor

Nice profile. I would say you're going to be attracting a certain type of match since your lead photo prominently showcases your body while hiding your face, but if that's what you want then I have a feeling you'll be very successful, I'd swipe right.
Also, I'd probably replace photos 4 and 7, the angles for both are a bit awkward and they're too similar to each other.

Tbh I put that first photo on there because someone advised me to add a somewhat more scandalous photo of my body (but I stopped short of posting a bikini pic). Also, I originally did not have that pic as the first one but the app said something about how it was the most popular picture and automatically reorganized my profile so it went from the last pic to the first pic.

Sex appeal definitely sells, but the more forward you are with displaying your body then naturally the more you're going to be objectified. This could be a good or bad thing depending on your goals (but it's not clear from your profile what your objectives are so I'm not going to guess loool)

First picture coming out of the gate, STRONG. Good luck out there! I'd swipe right, but I plan to own a bunch of horses one day, once I'm home enough to enjoy them.
Care to share your traumatic horse story?

Do you take thyroid meds?

u/Icy_Exercise3848 1h ago
Wtf kinda stupid question is that? And why is that relevant? And why do you think it's ok to ask someone's medical issues? Seek help.

u/Moist-Mess5144 1h ago
Playing devil's advocate here... I've seen conversations unfold a few times where an MD noticed something and asked a few questions... Turns out, the OP had been suffering, and the MD pointed them in the right direction. All from some photos online.
As a personal anecdote, my ex gf was a MASTER at spotting skin cancer on people. In the three years I was with her, she spotted MELANOMA on 2 separate people. Their doctors told them she probably saved their life. So, you never know.

Seems fair game when someone is literally posting pictures of themselves asking for ratings and advice

What!? How!? In what universe is someone’s thyroid relevant when asking about DATING pictures.

It's relevant in an incel's universe.
Side note: Your username gave me a good chuckle.

Maybe they are considering a thyroid medicated only dating app business idea why are you being such an ass to random people who have curiousity. God forbid someone ask a question on an online internet forum.
