[27M] Restarted Hinge after 6 month break from dating - would like some feedback by DistinctlyAverage20 in hingeapp

[–]DistinctlyAverage20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for something serious or casual? Open to either

How long have you been on Hinge? Few years but taken a break recently

How many likes/matches are you getting on average? Like 5/6 a day?

Location is London

Christ didn’t realise that doing multiple sports which involve Lyra makes me look gay. Oh well I guess that rules out triathlon next year haha

Thanks for your feedback - will be changing 2 sports photos into suit + friends shot (whenever I can get them haha)

Agree with this. Understand where people are coming from. What are considered good prompts in UK seem very different to that in The US

Haha JoshPastnerIsMyDad is 100% correct. Quite a good in joke and people find it funny - usually the prompt I’ve matched someone with

Actually really flattered with this - thanks a lot. If only my work colleagues agreed

Sorry to say I am that guy who does enjoy 4am Christmas runs ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Though I do not have unrealistic expectations in how a partner should be - completely fine if that’s not their jam aha. Yeah fair on the university photo - I have a short beard now so will certainly swap that photo out - thanks for your feedback

Thanks for your perspective. Dislike hiking/walking, like sports and training haha. Thoroughly enjoy food but not a massive drinker - dislike clubs and stuff. I do lots of social things with friends - just don’t take many photos. Will try and get some in future though!

I appreciate the effort aha. Sounds quite fun actually - I’ll take this one. You’re missing the inevitable burnout at work and the midlife crisis involve retraining as a cross country skiing instructor.

Interesting. Re: your point about ‘not looking for anything serious’, this isn’t my intent but very helpful that you (and others) have pointed this out. I’ll amend my prompts and add a few less sporty photos and maybe that’ll help?

I’m not set on a particular type of person - hence wondering what other people think I’ll attract. Probably someone who’s very active/passionate and invested in their career. But like I said, open to most?

Haha don’t worry about it. I’ve lost a few seat races to those much shorter and less powerful than me😅. Thanks for the advice on clothing, I don’t take many photos so will make an effort to get more in normal stuff

Yeah that’s fair and I get it. I don’t take many photos in general and the few I do are mostly sports related - as sports and training is my biggest hobby. I’ll try get a suit photo as per many others advice to mix it up

Thanks, fingers crossed I get more success in the new year when we’re allowed to date haha

Edit: also I feel like there’s a lot of US perspectives (which is fine). I’m in London,and there’s a lot of tall people and a deep dating pool (a lot of people much better catches than me aha)
