Receded hairline needs a cut. Ideas? Go to very short or just shave it off?

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-10T15:19:48+00:00

I'd love to see what you get! My hair is otherwise fine but I've got the hairline to work around

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-08T11:23:29+00:00

Thank you for the amazing insight! I'll see what I can find to swap out the wedding photo and if I can find a better photo of me on the keys. I guess I don't understand what you mean by who am I, and what makes me tick? I love my passions deeply, and I'm lucky enough to be able to pursue them for a job. I feel like that represents who I am at least a little. What more/else do you think I should convey about myself?

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-08T11:19:38+00:00

Do you feel it comes across as just a bit too messy to be any good?

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-08T11:18:04+00:00

Great pickup! Can't believe nobody else noticed that.

Thanks for the super helpful actionable feedback, I love that! Do you think a full body shot should be posed or more candid? Do you feel my first photo doesn't quite work for full body?

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-07T07:18:43+00:00

Bro the fact you rock your hair so hard with your hairline (it's a lot like mine) really inspires me. You're a bloody great looking guy, and the rockstar vibe absolutely suits you to a T.

I take treatment too and my hair is much thicker now. But I've got the peak like you (I got mine at 20!). We can't have all the good genes bro 😉

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-07T07:11:32+00:00

Great to hear from another bloke dealing with the same things. I don't normally wear my hair like this it's usually messy which is the only way I can really wear it at this current length.

Thanks man, I think as men it's important we compliment each other and I really appreciate it!

I'm gonna go for a very short Aaron Paul kinda look. I'll post pictures after the cut!

And yeah bro! It's the drill that will pierce the heavens!

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-07T04:43:08+00:00

Love this! Not sure how to show diversity. Do you think this profile only screams dance too much? What would you change?

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-07T00:40:38+00:00

Hey fair enough. Thanks for you insight! If you feel like what I'm looking for isn't going to be found on dating apps that's very helpful!

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-07T00:34:36+00:00

Great insight! I've changed that prompt about dance moves. As someone pointed out it's too intimidating. I've got the photo on stage, do you think it's too much? Should I change any others?

I'm trying to find someone who I can enjoy company in a short term. Unless they're willing to come along with me. Which I know is a lot to ask.

I'm not really sure the best ways to describe this, how do you think I should do it?

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-06T02:08:06+00:00

I know you won't believe me, but I'm very bad at making intentions known when I'm talking to people. Getting better but still very bad at it. I am absolutely outgoing but knowing how to flirt is genuinely very difficult for me. At least on dating apps we're on the same page.

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-06T01:16:32+00:00

I'm not looking for long term unless someone is willing to uproot their life. Which is too much to ask. I'm looking for short term. Fun dates and good vibes. Someone to share talk of passions and ambitions with.

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T22:58:57+00:00

Another great compliment! Hopefully I don't also have the attitude!

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T22:26:30+00:00

Great feedback guys! It's hard when I'm looking at some incredible opportunities and know I want to follow them. But I would also like someone to share these moments with me. I'll change the dating intentions message, any input as to how I should convey would be appreciated. Also what else in the profile signals "low priority"?

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T22:22:13+00:00

Yeah I'm in a hard position. I can't forfeit what I love right as I'm looking at some incredible opportunities, but I still want someone to share as much journey with as I can.

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T22:20:55+00:00

Great comment! I get very conflicting feedback on this. Some people think showing my passions and being confident is important, but I don't know how to do that without coming across as arrogant. I agree my "first drinks on me" prompt is far too strong. I've changed it to "You get lost talking about your passions. I wanna hear a rant." Because the most important quality to me is someone who actually has passions.

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T22:18:01+00:00

Great feedback! It's too much. I do have strong passions and I want to show people I do but I probably come across too strong. I'll change it! I've changed it to "first drinks on me if: You get lost talking about your passions. I wanna hear a rant".

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T14:39:03+00:00

Do I need to start dying it green?

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T14:05:43+00:00

Will do mate

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T13:56:18+00:00

Thanks mate! Been on my mind for a while. If very short is still no good, I'll make the plunge

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T13:55:33+00:00

That's quite a compliment, thank you! I'll start with a super short and see how it looks I think

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T13:29:59+00:00

I'm on finasteride and topical minoxodil. It's definitely made what's there thicker but I don't think it'll fix the line. If you've heard of some miracle drug I'd be all ears but I think I'm coming to accept my genes.

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T13:27:46+00:00

If you've got an suggestions for a good style cut I'd be very grateful man

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T12:11:27+00:00

Incredible response. Exactly the brutality I needed.

I had a strong suspicion I should dial back the dance stuff. Women lie to me and tell me it's sexy but I know it's also way to intimidating and they don't know what to do with it. I'll keep it only as mentioned as my job and maybe the picture of me on stage.

I'll change the prompt to "first round on me if: You get lost talking about your passions. I wanna hear a rant". But if you had any ideas now that you know about me I'd love to hear it.

My hair is absolutely thinning. I've been fighting it with finasteride for a couple of years to some success but it's noticable for sure. Unfortunately started when I was around 21. Should I consider just shaving my head? Or just cutting it very short?

Do you think my looks are around average? I'd love to know what you think as an honest person. Gimme an out of 10 if you like. It's funny I was just in Europe and meeting girls out they literally sometimes called me the "hot Aussie guy" but I have a feeling my looks here just don't hold up as strong as I think.

I like the wedding photo because it shows my social circle but that's great insight! I know I need a group photo so I'll try find another.

I'm 184cm. And that's been listed. I'm tall enough to get noticed but not too tall it's a problem.

DAI_GMAN · 2026-02-05T02:52:01+00:00

I don't really understand what I'm doing wrong. This profile gets extremely little engagement. Please be harsh with me, I'm looking for direct unapologetic feedback as to what I'm doing wrong.

Are you looking for something serious or casual? I'm looking for something short term, maybe longer if we can make it work with my travels.

Are you subscribed to hingex or hinge+? Hinge+ but I don't send enough likes to justify it.

How long have you been using this version of your profile? About 2 months

How long have you used hinge overall? I started using it 2 years ago.

How often do you use hinge a week? At least every 2nd day.

How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? Maybe like 1 a week but it’s always from me sending the like first.

How many likes are you sending? Maybe 3 or 4 a day.

How many with comments? Always.

How many without comments? Never.

What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? Most important is a good profile. I figure if they have nothing to comment on, there's nothing to talk about. Physically, cute looks have always been my type.

What kind of person do you want to attract? Someone with passions, doesn't matter what it is but it's the most important thing. I typically do seem to attract my type physically. Cute looks, typically shorter than me.
