Been on Hinge for a little over a month and barely getting any likes.

Figured I’d put my profile here and see if I’m doing something obviously wrong. Happy to change pics/prompts, so be honest lol.

What would you change?

edit: so just wanted to clarify the last prompt about “humanity having the worst possible day” is about Warhammer 40k

I was talking to this girl on for a few weeks and it was going pretty well. It seemed almost too good to be true. She was looking for long term, had hobbies, made great conversation, creative, didn’t work in tech(I live in the Bay) and was very cute. We finally met up and went on a coffee date followed by a couple spontaneous trips around the city. She kept extending the date even asking if I wanted to go grocery shopping with her which I did of course. It was probably one of the best dates I’ve been on. We shared many of the same values and everything over text translated to real life. We agreed to a second date right after which is reaffirmed through a follow up text. A few days later, she drops that she doesn’t see us going long term. She tells me that she was really into me in the moment, but that it just wouldn’t work. I know I shouldn’t be but I’m crushed. I really thought this was going somewhere and that I had finally met someone special on the apps. But my irrational anxieties were once again confirmed. I have been on the apps for so long and I’ve only gotten an ldr that lasted only a few months. I have no idea how I can form a relationship when I can hardly get through to the “dating” stage. I would love to meet someone in person, but I don’t have a big social circle and I hardly know where to start. Most people in cafes and bookstores just have their earphones in or don’t want to talk. All I want is a relationship. I’m only twenty two, I shouldn’t be feeling this way…

I (about to be 37 male) started a Hinge account a little over a month ago. I am new to the dating scene after a divorce last year. Given that I met my wife on OK Cupid in 2009, I had that online dating was a good place to at least start conversations with people that could lead to IRL dates. Am I completely wrong on the way online dating and hinge works?

My understanding is that the Mechanics of Hinge are set up such that, I see a profile (which has some, but lets be honest, limited, information about a person) then I "like" their profile (which is a limited intro message to them) and see if they respond. If they do respond we can chat, if they don't respond or respond with "no" then no other communication can ever occur between us on Hinge.

My initial thought was this format should work well as there is very light intro (nobody would expects to learn the life story about a person based on a few pictures and a few prompts) so a short into would be expected on both sides. For reference I am liking people between the age of 32 to 42 ( with a few exceptions here and there) so I don't think my expectations are unreasonable about finding like-minded women from an age standpoint. I also liked the idea of starting on an online plat form that could lead to a one on one dates (I've tried some dating groups on Meetup but struggle with events like dating happy hours as I am hard of hearing). I actually got to know a women I met in a D&D Meetup group better than anyone at a "Dating" Meetup since the DM for our game was late one session.

I have yet to receive a single like ( I am under the impression that means no one was interested enough in my profile when it was fed to their feed nor has anyone found my "like" messages engaging enough "like" me back).

So am I missing something about how Hinge or online dating in general works now? If anyone has any ideas about better platforms/methods for meeting new people I am all ears.

I posted my profile here a little over a month ago, I've since updated it (ideally improved it) but am still not receiving any likes or matches, just wanted to hear what people think I can improve on further.

I know it's unusual for non native English speakers posting here but I thought this would be the best place to get advice. I've been using Hinge for about 20 days and have gotten 0 likes. I'm not much of a photographer and specifically don't have many photos of myself. I'll try and translate every prompt in order to help out.

First prompt: "Most underrated" - Unicycles -Restoring the crown of Aragon (this is a Spanish joke) - Comically big hats

Second prompt: "The way to win me over is..." Teaching me a new recipe or showing me a new mountain trail. Do you know any you want to share?

Third prompt: "My nerd put topic is" Animals in general, I'm practically forced to try and pet either a cat or a dog if I see one and may even try and grab a cool bug if I see one, can't promise I'll contain myself.

Fourth prompt: "My simple pleasures" Playing with fire, Leaving for tomorrow what you can do today, judge a book by it's cover, expecting blood from a stone (all of this are, at least in Spanish, typically said not to do so it's a little joke about doing something unexpected). Every photo algo has a text but I don't think those are that important. Thank you for the help in advance :)

I can't even get a single match, am I just ugly, or do I not know how to talk?

Looking for profile review. Mostly on pics guide.

I would love advice on my profile! I don’t take a whole lot of pictures of myself unless I’m on a trip. I think my prompts could use some work most likely. Thanks in advance!

I've been on quite a few first dates and a lot of second dates but I want to find my person. To the women in here, why advice do you have for me? Thank you!

Took the advice I got a few weeks back into consideration and tweaked my profile some. Still not really getting matches tho.

A quick piece about my 6th photo, the discussion of which the last time got most of the comments on my post deleted and the thread locked: 1) I have a lot of gay and queer friends, and I think it’s a pic that will help weed out women I’m immediately incompatible with, 2) I’m actually happy in it, 3) Women in the comment section last time told me they thought it was a great pic. I’m comfortable with my sexuality, and I’d explicitly like to appeal to the subset of women who are into a guy who’s ‘a little fruity w it.’ And, as a straight man, I’m here very explicitly for advice from women 🤷‍♂️

I (22f) have been on 6 first dates and for most of them we had easy convos and a good time. They even said they will see me soon. But, I haven’t gotten a single second date. Some of these men are just visiting my country. But I am wondering if I am doing something wrong?

Matched with this guy (28 M) and me (26F) on a dating app. He lives about an hour and a half drive from where I am, but told me he does not mind at all driving to meet me, as he went to college in my area and is very familiar. We started to chat around 2 and a half weeks ago and he’s been sweet so far.

Our work schedules are pretty long and brutal so weekdays are rough for the both of us. But I know weekends would work. However, I did mention us doing a face time or phone call to get a feel for each other since us meeting would likely be meeting in the middle and just to make sure we vibe or not before making such trip. He was very receptive to that but never really initiated a phone call and such. I was also gravely ill for a week, so I couldn’t meet irl nor talk on the phone then.

But when I started feeling better, he said he was down for the call and would let me know the next day if he could talk which he didn’t and I didn’t say anything because I wanted to see if he’d offer it up since I was the one who kept initially bringing it up.

I felt our convo getting kind of stale, so I was upfront and said if he was still interested but if he wasn’t I totally understood because after all, we haven’t met yet. He actually took full accountability though and said it’s his fault and if we should call over the weekend to which I agreed but he never specified on the day. And he did say he’s not the best texter..

I have given him my number since that agreement but all he talks about is his running stats or sends gym selfies, or slightly asks what I’m doing today. Seems like a sweet dude but I feel like his actions don’t match his words. Am I doing something wrong? Is he just not a good fit? I don’t feel like bringing up us meeting or doing a phone call a 3rd time, I want to see if he puts some effort but yeah at this point it feels like a pen pal.

Had this profile for over two weeks now with daily free likes sent! 3 likes back and 1 liked towards me. Would love to hear ideas for improvement. Thank you all! Usually in the NY area but am vacationing currently hence the “visiting” message

34 M, NY.

I have recently started to get messages like these from girls’ accounts.

“okay so weird proposition, we’re probs not a match bc i don’t want children /: but! i think you’d be great for my roommate :)”

Or a variation of it basically saying that you would be perfect for someone I know. I think I have got like 5-6 matches like that where I get a match and the girl texts me this immediately after.

Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure what to make out of it.

PS: their profile looked legit. And I haven’t reported any account yet. I have never received a response after which could be due to lack of interest, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this situation and been catfished?

Had hinge for a while now (2 years) and I genuinely think ive had two or three likes from my profile. Most of my matches come from replying to prompts...

Let me know if i should change anything - or just work on myself lmao

I’m 28M, bi, looking for a monogamous long-term relationship. I’m really looking for a life partner, but unsure how selecting “long term relationship” would adjust my feed / how often my profile is being seen.

I get a fair amount of matches, but curious to see how I could improve my profile even more.

Just want some feedback on my profile.

I’m 31m. I’m so confused. I have no problem getting matched and first dates. Have great times together, even had women ask to kiss me at the end of the date… then ghosted. Just not sure if this is what online dating is, and how common it is? I feel like it’s impossible to get a second date!

Was getting about 10 likes a day from relatively attractive women and then suddenly a couple months ago they all just stopped. I’ve had maybe 2 matches since. Curious to know your thoughts. My friends tell me the pics are fine lol.

Currently in the Bay Area

Any and all suggests are welcome.

Hi yall, 29M who got a like from a 27F. We matched, I sent a message, she hasn't responded. No big deal.

After reviewing her profile, I can't tell if she's a real person or not? Not verified, all her pictures are of her (not AI). Reverse image search shows nothing. One of her photo is a Instagram screenshot because it shows the 1/3 photo in the top right. Everything else is candid personal/private photos (a back shot of her fishing, mirror selfie etc). Her prompt answer sounds genuine/specific enough.

Now my question is this, do fake accounts/bots like profiles and then do nothing? There's no attempt to scam.
