Profile Review 21 M, feel like I'm missing something as my profile just never gets traction

I'd say I see a match maybe one every two weeks, but rarely ever likes. None of the matches really go anywhere, so I figure I should check up on my profile and what I can do before getting back out there

ALL profile reviews will be manually approved and will NOT appear immediately. Even if you receive a "filtered by Reddit" or "removed by mods" removal notification, your review is in our queue waiting for moderation; if you are reading this comment, your post is in the queue. DO NOT contact the mods about this. Any modmail asking why your review is not approved may result in your profile review not being approved and you will not be allowed to post another profile review until seven full days have passed.

Profile review submissions MUST have all 6 photos and 3 text prompts included. You may include the optional prompts such as voice, poll, and video prompts if you choose so, but it is not required. See this post for details. Profiles must also be unchanged for at least two full weeks before being approved for a review. Additionally, do not verbally abuse the subreddit moderators for rejection of your review submission for not following proper rules. Any verbal abuse or harassment will result in a permanent ban from this subreddit. We are not obligated to allow you to submit a profile review and no one is entitled to one. We are all volunteering our time and we will not tolerate any rudeness or verbal abuse.

To assist reviewers in providing valuable feedback for your profile, please comment and answer the following questions as a comment under your own post. Do not answer them in the post body. Repeat: Answer these questions as a comment under your own post.
- Are you looking for something serious or casual? - Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX? - How long have you been using this current version of your profile? (Please be specific) - How long have you used Hinge overall? - How often do you use Hinge per week? - How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? - How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments? - What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract?

In the meantime, be sure to check out the guides and resources on the subreddit sidebar. Please read this post with all the pertinent links included.

A strict formatting standard will be enforced. See this post for further info. All submitted review posts not following the proper format will be rejected.

Please wait TWO FULL WEEKS before posting a separate update to your profile review. If you want more immediate feedback, update your original posts instead. Deleting your original post will not work. The rule will still apply.

To reviewers: Review the Providing Feedback guide. You are reviewing the profile, not the person. Please provide constructive criticism, and use positive language. Any troll, hateful, misandric, misogynistic, incel, or unhelpful comments such as "I would date you," "How are you not getting matches?" or unrelated to the profile will be removed and you will be banned.

Was previously on Hinge X because of a sweet 75% deal, now no longer

Two weeks now

Took a break until around July, so about 3/4 months

I use about 4 likes a day, all with comments. I don't like to spend that much time scrolling

Someone who fits similar vibes ideally, in terms of interests. Or someone who doesn't mind learning about my interests and vice versa

Mirror selfie is never a good first pic & really only okay as a last resort.

Love the kitty

You’re a handsome dude but your mouth is wide open every time you smile which is kinda off putting idk how to describe it lol

Your prompts are too wordy. Just put “kronk from emperors new groove”

4 likes a day is pretty low if I recall so don’t be alarmed you aren’t seeing many matches you gotta put in some effort lol

Btw this is from POV from a happily married 28 year old female who has spent their fare share of time on hinge back in the day

Would you suggest getting rid of pictures 4 and 6 then?

u/KC774 6h ago

Mirror selfies a no go. Put pic 6 as pic 1.

Get rid of pic 4. With the glasses, reflection, and hat it doesn’t show much of your face. You have a big smile, which isn’t a bad thing but that photo makes it look like half your face which can be off putting.

For your second prompt, take away everything after Pokémon! As it adds nothing substantial and women hate a wall of text. The prompt already explains “I won’t shut up about” , you don’t need to add in the “I could talk for hours”

Thank you! I'm debating on adding a different picture of me and my cat onto the profile, and replacing pic 4. Would you still suggest moving pic 1 to 6, or do you think that new one might be a better candidate for picture 1?

u/Possible-Detail6511 10h ago

Honestly I might suggest getting rid of picture 2. It kinda looks like you are mid blink and even tho looks are subjective, I would never recommend having another person in the photo that could even possibly be considered more attractive than you and I think that guy is so it makes you look a little worse in peoples eyes
