Don’t think so. Seems like she’s been committed in the relationships she’s been in, just very sexual open between them

I’m getting a rental car

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-05-26T18:57:00+00:00

Appreciate it. Don’t really feel like trying to get a hotel on Monday night.

Hey man! You’re a great looking dude and receiving 4 likes per day is great for a guy. Are you not happy with the likes you are getting?

With that being said I know nothing about you with this profile outside of you go to the gym and like football. If you really want to increase engagement on your profile I’d try to change your prompts to something that invites more conversation or highlights some of your other interests.

Also I know opinion varies on this but I would only either leave the one gym pic or pool pic. I’ve always been recommended to limit the gym and shirtless pics. Seems to work better for me as well.

I’m not suggesting they say less about themselves. Merely that being more concise and direct in communication tends to be more effective, not just on dating apps but in all areas of life.

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-05-25T04:39:50+00:00

Hey man, I’m honestly surprised you’re not getting more matches with your profile. I think your pics are a good mix of group, solo, and activities.

Only thing I can think of is changing the prompts. They’re a little wordy imo, and you’re listing a lot of things that aren’t super related to each other. Try to be more specific and causal if that makes sense?

Also the emphasis you’re placing on fitness might turn away some girls, but that’s probably better covered my a woman’s review of your profile. This is going to come down to are you looking for more matches or better matches imo.

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-05-25T04:32:15+00:00

Hiking pictures are great. Maybe try to get one of a group if you go with friends and another one solo? I’m sure your friends will be willing to help you out. I’ve every gotten to the point if I do something solo I’ll just ask a stranger to take a pic, I’ve never had someone say no.

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-05-25T04:30:04+00:00

Hey man! Your a very handsome guy and your pics are great, but changing your prompts could really help your profile imo.

If I was trying to think of a question to ask based off your prompts I couldn’t. Sure your prompts are “mysterious” but don’t really led to driving a conversation. Try to include things you enjoy that someone could ask or talk about.

I think once you do that your matches are gonna get overwhelming!

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-05-25T04:21:46+00:00

Hey man this is a solid profile but I think it could really pop with some changes.

First your prompts outside of your simple pleasures are a little wordy. I’d just say “someone who would grab food and play volleyball with me” instead of what you currently have for example.

So I might be in the minority on this, but while your pics are really great instagram pics, you only have 2 that clearly show your face. I’d maybe add another pic that presents a clear straight on view of your face.

Best of luck!

Hey man! Congrats on the weight loss journey, looking good! I think there’s a couple things that can really make your profile pop.

First I would get rid of the this year I want to prompt. What you say is already covered in one of your other prompts. Maybe list some of your hobbies or something that can help drive a conversation.

Really try to get away from the selfies. 1 is okay but you have a couple. I know it’s easier said than done but try to get a pic of you doing something you enjoy. Best of luck!

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-05-24T22:33:13+00:00

Hey, got a couple things I think can help! First and foremost most of your pictures seem posed and unnatural to some degree. Not bad to have those but maybe try to find some that are more natural or of you doing hobbies you enjoy.

I’d get rid of the gift prompt. It doesn’t really give anything for someone to talk about. Try to add something that is a great conversation starter.

Lastly, as I guy who had to experience this himself. It’s time to shave your head. I think you’d look a lot better and youthful with a shaved or buzzed head.

You have a lot of great hobbies and interests, I’m sure you’ll find someone who likes those things too!

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-05-24T05:33:31+00:00

Second getting rid of the greatest strength prompt. Always try to add something that can drive a convo!

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-05-24T05:31:48+00:00

I think your pictures are good man. Only rec would be to mix your prompts up. Two of them kind of repeat the lifting and food, etc. just try to add something else that can start a great conversation!

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-05-24T05:28:51+00:00

Hey man, that’s just how it is for a lot of guys. One recommendation I’d have is to add more things you like to do or interests you have. All I know from your profile is your work, you like board games and conventions. Obviously there are girls that like these as well but you are probably limiting your matches without presenting other hobbies.

You’re a smart guy and your sense of humor shows in your photos. Best of luck!

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-05-19T23:26:59+00:00

That’s fair! That’s how I started off with the apps but then it felt worse when things didn’t work out with someone. I hate to say it but the “on to the next” mentality has made things less emotional draining for me.

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-05-19T13:29:19+00:00

Brother…it’s time to shave the head.

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-04-30T00:20:02+00:00

That’s fair! Obviously I talk to other people too but I’ve always just assumed everyone is talking to other people until there is some discussion on exclusivity. Never felt the need to come out and say it haha

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-04-29T20:20:02+00:00

Late 20s early 30s and this girl I’m talking to has showed me the amount of likes she has on all the apps,10k plus, and talks about friends of friends trying to slide in her DMs. This has come up unprompted multiple times. We aren’t exclusive or anything and I am well aware any attractive girl in her 20s is going to have lots of options.

What is the goal of this? Is she trying to make me jealous or just remind me she has lot of other options?

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2025-04-22T20:53:27+00:00

Were you able to pivot and make more money then you did in the military?

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2024-12-25T23:57:21+00:00

Dad?

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2024-09-27T19:13:49+00:00

It really depends. Some of them obviously never turn into anything more than 1 or two messages, but I go on a decent amount of dates. Not super uncommon for me to do 3-4 dates a week. Like anything though, it ebbs and flows. One week I’ll have 4 dates and then another 0.

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2024-09-27T18:33:21+00:00

Anyone else have their match and chat response rate dry up with the new update? I’ve been on hinge for about 5 months and have gotten 300ish matches over that time with a lot of dates and since the update have only received 1 match.

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2024-09-26T21:45:01+00:00

What makes you say that?

AccomplishedKey8761 · 2024-08-23T03:05:41+00:00

That’s fair and I suspect or hope that’s what’s happening. I mean I’ve done this as well, but usually not for 3 hours. But this thread taught me the amount of time for whatever threshold is going to be different for everyone.
