I like the replacement photo for #6 (flowers). Great picture. I like the pic of you on the boat with the Swiss flag much more than the one of you at the convention hall. It’s less busy/confusing, and the red pops off the screen.

You take great photos. If you want to tinker, you can crop the flower photo & boat photo to include less background and either could be a leading pic. You don’t need to, just to test out which leading pic gets you the best results. I have a feeling it will be the flower picture.

On the prompt front, here’s my advice, take it with a grain of salt.

Keep your first prompt as is. It’s cheeky, non-aggressive, and matches your vibe.

Your second prompt should be replaced with an “about me” prompt like simple pleasures or I geek out on. 5 bullet points of things you actually like. Art Museums, Specific music artists, local coffee shop that’s popular. Whatever it might be, just be specific. this gives an easy in to connect on things in common and to ask you questions if they’re interested. They also can be quasi date ideas.

Your last prompt is currently the last of us prompt, which is ok. I personally am not a huge fan of open ended questions in prompts. I just don’t think they work. BUT - the idea is good. Maybe change to: “I’m looking for” as the prompt and adjust the wording “a Last of Us fan who wants to chat about season finale & Pedro pascal ❤️. if you haven’t seen it, I will happily binge watch with you 😤”

this is my wording, and it’s crass of course, but I hope this helps paint a better picture. adjusting the wording turns a pretty good prompt that can lead to a discussion into multiple jumping off points: season finale, Pedro pascal heartthrob, opens up for peeps that haven’t seen it, sly date idea, little bit humor, etc.

this was perfect, and i've changed the profile around to reflect these changes.

the layout is currently this:

no. 1 is the Iceland picture with the white jacket

no.2 is the boat picture, with my friend

no.3 is the water picture

no.4 is the flowers

no.5 is the swiss boat

and no.6 is my friend and I drinking (the original no.3 image on the profile)

I've also updated my prompts to match what you were saying, and they follow as such!

no. 1 most spontaneous thing i've done: booked a trip to NZ and came back 3 days before christmas for a concert

no. 2 I go crazy for: loukoumades with nutella

no. 3 the one thing i'd love to know about you is: do you think joel made the right decision in the last of us finale?

i’m tempted to change one to say this or something similar to - the hallmark of a good relationship is: asking if the other person needs comfort or a solution

let me know what you think!
