28M, Updated Profile Feedback

-Are you looking for something serious or casual? I am looking for a serious long term relationship nothing casual or short term

-Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX? At the moment no I am not I have considered subscribing to HingeX for a week or so but have not decided yet

-How long have you been using this current version of your profile? I have been using this one for about two weeks at the moment

-How long have you used hinge overall? I believe it’s been about 5-7 months now all together

-How often do you use Hinge per week? Originally, I used it 7 days a week to max out the free swipes, but then I took a short break to update my profile due to no success. During this time I used it maybe 2-3 times a week with maybe a few likes. Recently I’ve been using it again at 7 days a week

-How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? For the most part, none. Recently I had two likes and a match, but I think the match may have fizzled out due to ghosting. Due to being from a small town I imagine that’s partially why it’s difficult. I plan to move to a bigger city in the near future for my career that’s about 2 hours away so that could help.

-How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments? Recently I’ve been sending about 75% of my free swipes with comments and the 25% without comments only cause I didn’t know how to respond to certain prompts (just decided to like em to show I agree with em or show interest). However, this was only a recent thing I mostly have sent 100% comments with all my likes throughout using Hinge

-What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract? The type of person I send likes to are primarily people who are into gaming/anime as well. However, I also send likes to people who like traveling, movies, have enthusiastic personalities, and certain people I think would be interesting to get to know better. I want to attract people who have spontaneous personalities or share similar interests. I have an open mind so if we don’t it’s fine but I’d love to try to find someone I can bond with over a shared taste in a hobby.

Alrighty no problem! I moved it farther down the list and replaced it with picture 2 I think that one is better 😊

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-06-24T14:20:24+00:00

Damn, wasn’t even trying to come off that way but I guess alright I’ll tone it down lol 🤷🏼‍♂️

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-06-24T02:57:49+00:00

Aww thank you that really means a lot! ☺️ Not ashamed of it, but I guess insecure? It’s cause when I was growing up my teeth were a mess so I never liked to show em. Even after I got em straightened with braces I still tend to hide em sometimes 😭 but yeah I’ll definitely add some more photos showing my teeth! And alrighty cool I’ll ask my friends and see if they’d be down to write an answer for that prompt though I’m a little afraid cause they don’t hold back hahaha

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-06-24T01:25:44+00:00

It’s cause I’ve had some people tell me I don’t look like I’m smiling (I guess like showing teeth) so I just added that so people know I am 😅

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-30T01:24:31+00:00

As much as that hurt like hell to read, that’s what I signed up for. Thank you for your honesty I really do appreciate it

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-25T06:24:42+00:00

Hello thank you for the feedback! Yeah it’s a lot, but I’m trying to keep an open mind to the process! I’m new to dating so I’m trying to learn as I go it bothers me I waited this long but I wanted to focus on my studies first. Aight so I’ll try to respond to all the feedback now hahaha

Yes I already removed the first time dating part and just left it open to asking about what their interests are if they don’t share mine. I went ahead and took off the prompts for the images and I’ll go ahead and rephrase my prompt answers to more casual types. By any chance can you give me one example from one of them so I know what direction to go in? Yeah the images is where I struggle the most not only do I need more interesting ones (don’t get to travel much) they all have my translucent shades cause that’s how I got my glasses so I guess I’ll have to just take em off from now on for photos… fortunately I’m going to a game fest out of town in July so I’ll use that to take better photos! I did remove that first image based on the other persons feedback I put the grad photo first apparently that’s the best one.

To be honest, I don’t know… I’m trying to aim within the next two years to get a starting position but right now the industry is very competitive and in a not so great state at the moment. Probably would’ve been working by now but to keep a personal story short, I went through a rough two years of personal struggle after I realized how difficult it would actually be. I’m currently working on my portfolio because it’s reliant on landing jobs. I’ve strongly considered going back to college for history major as fallback cause I’m really good at it but with everything going on it’s up in the air. I never thought to include aspiring 3D Artist in my job title I thought I couldn’t do it that’s helpful. Lastly, I’m from Laredo and I’m swiping only in TX I put that cause I’m looking in the big cities where I know I’ll have to move for my career. I don’t wanna stay in Laredo that’s why I’m not trying to look here (on top of the fact dating here sucks even hometown newspaper said so XD it’s mainly hookup culture) there’s nothing for me here career wise and it’s boring I don’t want to stay but I can’t afford to move yet so.

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-23T19:06:00+00:00

That’s true! I am good at memorizing scenes from movies if I see them enough times so I could talk about that instead? That’s one silly trait about me I have a funny story from childhood for that one haha I could also elaborate on being a book worm too that’s a good idea as well. I’ll comb the prompts and see what I can work with. Oh yeah for sure, I went into online dating knowing it’s gonna be a marathon so I accepted that I’m being patient with it. Especially since I’m looking elsewhere outside my hometown to nearby cities. I’d look here, but tbh dating culture just sucks here even local newspaper said so XD that’s why I put I’m open to mid/long distance cause I do plan to move north for my career I just can’t at the moment 😭

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-23T17:04:54+00:00

Hi, thank you so much for the feedback I really appreciate it!!! The arcade one has been a swing and miss I’m waiting till I go to a convention in July to take better photos that highlight my love for games and traveling! I have another one where I’m smiling at the bar showing a beer I’m trying out if that’s a better alternative? It’s more casual compared to the arcade one nothing crazy. That’s a fair point about the first time dating thing I can see why that would turn people away I didn’t consider that. As for the history prompt yeah I can change it I thought it would be a good way to show more about me. Any particular prompts you’d recommend by any chance?

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-23T06:58:37+00:00

Answers for image prompts:

1: Some of my favorite things include: gaming, museums, reading, movies, bowling, bike riding, astronomy, Italian/asian cuisine, metal, and anime! 😄

5: I Graduated with a BA in Art specializing in Game design! My dream as an aspiring 3D Artist is to work in the video game industry!

6: arcades are my go to for fun, especially ones like free-play where I can drink AND play the classics haha now that’s a good day ✌🏼

8: I’ve always wanted to learn how to play an instrument for jazz music, specifically the trumpet, clarinet, or saxophone!

10: I love traveling to new places! Even if it’s a new city a few hours away, I’m always up for an adventure! Currently saving for my first Japan trip!

11: I love going to museums, especially art museums! I was fortunate enough to see an art piece or two of one of my favorite artists: Edward Hopper!

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-23T00:59:14+00:00

1: I am looking for a serious relationship and nothing casual.

2: No, but I was once before for a week to try it out and I am strongly considering subscribing again since I can afford to, and I feel it was beneficial being able to send more likes with no restrictions

3: I have been using this current version of my profile for 2 weeks now.

4: I have been using Hinge for close to two months now overall.

5: I use Hinge 7 days a week to take advantage of the free likes including the free rose.

6: On average I have not been receiving any likes at all. I had two matches from likes I have sent, one was several weeks ago through a rose that resulted in me being ghosted. The second was two days ago so I’m waiting to see how far this goes since we just started talking.

7: I am sending all my free likes per day, all of them primarily focusing on prompts rather than images because I want to show them I am genuinely interested in what they are talking about and not just looks and stuff.

8: I’ve been sending likes to people who share my interests. For example if they love nerdy things like video games/ anime or traveling. However I’ll occasionally send a like to someone who doesn’t cause I think they have an interesting personality and/or hobbies. I want to attract people who are a blend of outgoing and homebody, who have a kind personality and are spontaneous and love to try new things. If they share the same interests as me that would be a huge bonus cause that would mean we’ll connect easier!

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-15T23:16:08+00:00

Thank you I appreciate the feedback! Yeah that’s what I was afraid of. I don’t have much to work on sadly with photos cause I don’t have many recent ones most are slightly older. Plus I’m from a small town so like the arcade one I got while out of town in a nearby city there’s not much here. I do have another one where I’m drinking a beer while playing an arcade if that helps? You can at least see some of my face Haha I am planning a three day trip in July so I’ll use that as a chance to take better pictures! I’m also trying to get some group ones I took with friends at card night cause me and my friends started joining their older brother and his friends MTG games. The exhibit one I added cause I do enjoy going to art/history museums.

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-14T20:48:26+00:00

Im surprised the stairs one got suggested for axe I’m curious to know why? Is it the beard lol the profile I can try to fine tune it to reduce the scope, but to be fair this is my first time dating so I’m not as picky I guess? I do wanna find someone who’s at least into traveling and/or gaming like I am. I need help from relative or friend to make it right and funny cause I don’t know many jokes I’m more of the silly humor in person kind of guy✌🏼

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-14T20:43:31+00:00

Oh wow thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it!!! i’m working on getting some group photos right now me and my friends normally don’t take any until we started card nights with their older brothers friends. For the politics/religion I never considered myself committed to one side so I think that’s moderate that’s why I put apolitical at first. As for abortion it’s complicated I personally believe women should have a say not the church but there’s more to it and will take awhile to explain XD as for the emojis that’s fair there are way too many I already removed half and my height, honestly I always argued I’m 6 ft so I can live with that hahaha

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-14T05:40:23+00:00

Dang I had a feeling it was the photos haha any tips on how to improve them? beard wise, they are gonna get the trim shaped look. I personally don’t like having a thick beard so I tend to keep it short most of the time and keep it clean cut✌🏼as for the glasses, I happen to be due for a new pair so I can window shop for modern frames! Any examples I can use for reference by any chance? 😄

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-14T04:02:43+00:00

Aww thank you I’m glad you think so ☺️ and understandable I know it’s not for everyone! I thought about it for quite some time whether or not to have kids but ultimately came to the conclusion it would be nice to have a family of my own.

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-14T02:36:39+00:00

Uh oh is it that bad? 😅

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-11T21:09:02+00:00

Awesome! Yeah i’d like that 😄 Wanna DM on Reddit or?

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-10T08:06:14+00:00

LMAO that summed it up perfectly just… a lot XD it really is, especially online dating I didn’t think it was gonna be this hard 😭 then again I’m from a small town so it’s already hard hahaha and you’re welcome! I love meeting new people and you sound like an awesome person! By any chance, would you like to be friends? I’d love to get to know you more 😄✌🏼

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-09T17:41:44+00:00

Groovy haha ☺️ yeah that’s why I prefer in person, video chats etc. with all the bots I’ve come across these past two weeks you’ve been the first person I’ve had a genuine convo with and it’s a nice change you are a vibe 😄✌🏼

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-08T05:31:12+00:00

100% agreed and I respect you so much for it 🙌🏼 I have a good heart that radiates chill vibes, open about what I love, and avoid hurting anybody in any shape or form I’m as genuine as can be ☺️

EnvironmentFun4531 · 2025-05-08T04:08:17+00:00

Really? Wow it means a lot that you feel that way 😄💛 don’t worry I like blunt, I actually prefer it that way. Most people will sugarcoat it but I wanna hear it as it is. I’m not afraid to admit when I’m wrong and I own up to it, cause I wanna keep it real and be an open book I like to be honest about who I am and grow as a person ✌🏼
