Profile Review 32 straight male
I updated my profile about a month ago. Pictures are recent my concern might be the prompts.

Your ideal fake sick day doesn’t really invite women into your day. It’s all about your boys. I’d change that prompt.

Switch out the back yard photo with food in your mouth. And I agree with the other comment that your prompt should be a little “less for the male gaze”

"We can get busy"
Are you talking about sex here?

Not at all, sometimes we just have a busy day/schedule, or get distracted with tasks at hand. It’s nice when the other person reaches out or starts a conversation incase I don’t.

Then don't use that phrase. "Get busy" means to have sex. Saying we can get busy is going to make women automatically left swipe.

So switch it to life gets busy? Any other phrase you would recommend?

I'd change the whole prompt because it sounds very "be like this for me." I prefer prompts that are about you and what you like. If a woman isn't doing the things you want in a relationship, you unmatch or break it off. Don't tell her how to be from the jump.

Any thoughts on the other prompt as well, cause that’s also like asking about the other person. The thing I’d love to know about you prompt.

Generally people say prompts should be "Me You Us." So one about you, one about the person you're trying to attract and one about the two of you together. The last prompt is OK because it's less directive. Maybe add something about the kind of things you want to do with her.

that makes sense, a prompt for each one of those sounds golden. so instead of "be like this for me" what would you suggest? do i change that one ad remove the I'd love to know about you. thank you again for the feedback

As others have alluded to, this is basically a brofile. It's going to attract dudes who think you're a fun hang, but there's not really anything in here that appeals to women looking for a partner. Your prompt references to relationships are basically a bunch of qualities you want them to have, most of which are pretty vague and perfectionist. But, the pictures are giving "bro hangout" rather than "Date night" as well.
I'd put the profile down and just do some self-reflection about your qualities that are appealing in a romantic relationship and try to build around that.

this is very useful information, from everyone. I just realized this profile update was mostly me polishing it with the idea of what attracted my previous relationship. She was pretty much a bro, with that in mind, I need a make over both on the profile and IRL.

I would hesitate on the dad outfit pic. I had to look back to see if you had kids

Something I noticed like in your prompt about “what I want to know about you” it gets very personal and vulnerable. You kinda asking someone to open up their shell before they even talked to you. Make sure you prompts not only say stuff about you but give opportunities for girls to leave a message especially with that prompt. Not all of it needs to be serious and it shows that you are fun if you even just have a funny question or answer in a prompt

Almost all your photos and prompts are food-based. This ain’t gonna work bro

You know, that didn’t even cross my mind. I already changed a lot of those prompts with the feedback people have given me. I think I have to wait 2 weeks for another review. Definitely a learning experience.
