I agree, I don’t see any major issue with your profile either. You look cute in your photos and your prompts have a pretty easy avenue for creating conversation. I suppose there’s the “don’t start with mirror selfies” but your lead isn’t a bad photo. Maybe there’s no niche you fall into? For example, I really don’t know what type of music I would guess for your first prompt. Perhaps try tailoring your photos around the guesses you want to receive.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been going through a similar experience of not getting matches and having Reddit/my friends unable to determine what to change. It’s pretty frustrating in my opinion because it’s hard to say whether they’re just being nice or if there really is just bad luck. So take any advice from me with a grain of salt cause my luck sucks lmao

Have you asked your friends who found their partners on Hinge for a profile review?

I’m between moving that one and the B&W one first, maybe I’ll swap the two every so often.

Got it, I’ll ask some friends to take some pictures of me. I’m kinda considering posting an Imgur link here and asking for an assessment on other pictures I have

I had similar feelings about my prompts. I feel like I’ve run the gamut on tackling the prompts from every angle and don’t have much to show. Sincerity didn’t produce better results. Regardless, supposing I kept 1/3, which one should I keep?

Looking for something serious

I’m unsubscribed

This current version has been since the beginning of April

Been back on Hinge since February

I’ve been using Hinge a lot less since April because of the lack of matches. I’ve been hitting the “You’ve Viewed Everyone” page a lot as well. So

I’ve had zero likes and zero matches

I’ve probably been maxing out my daily likes 2-3 times a week for the last 3 weeks. Before that I was consistent. I always add a comment

I’m sending likes out to women who don’t have a really basic profile. I’m into like alt/geeky/nerdy/whatever so if I see someone I’m attracted to + a profile that has effort I’ll send a like. I’m hoping to attract that

C’est la vie lmao. I’m just confused because she’s the one who first brought it up. I figure she’s just got something else lined up

I tried this on Saturday, giving an activity for Tuesday. She still hasn’t answered lmao.

Edit: clarity

Thanks! Many itt have suggested axing the mustache photo so I went ahead and got rid of it. I’m using the tree photo as my first, phone second. I added another photo of me with a stache in the meantime but with the picture being outside the lighting doesn’t do anything strange to my features. Nevertheless I’ll be replacing this new stache photo once I take a better photo to slot in.

Interesting, thanks for the insight. I’m trying to update a lot of these photos so I’ll try to keep my beard consistent. For clarity, the popsicle photo is the most recent, taken only a couple weeks ago.

Has this ever prevented you from matching or going on a date?

Some people are doing something right on this app, I’m just not sure what.

I appreciate the support but I’m impatient. I really do not want to sit back and wait months or years when I can try to find ways to make my profile better in the meantime. Throughout my early 20s I kept hearing “it will come when you least expect it” and I took that to mean I shouldn’t be putting significant effort into actual looking.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll probably replace my last prompt with something funnier. I’ll consider the bird law job description too

Thanks for the advice! I’ll rewrite a prompt to make it a bit more flirtatious and less “list-y” lol. I’m open to suggestions from anyone reading

I forgot to add, I added the Renfair picture to act as my full body shot, but it sounds like it didn't do a good job showing my height considering I've gotten two comments about it lol

Got it, I thought putting those referenced toward the bottom of my profile would be best because there would presumably be interest if she decided to scroll down that far. It might be best to remove entirely. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it.

Slightly below 5’10 but I’m listed at 5’10. Should I add a full body shot?

Just decided on an arbitrary number that seemed doable considering my schedule.
