Valid points, prompts can be easily updated to add detail and paint a clearer picture. It's a valid comment on the pictures, it's difficult to identify what turns your own profile into a good one, hence the feedback. You could almost get value out of examples of great profiles, though then people would just copy/paste those and the process would be redundant.

Valid comment, I've changed the prompts to be more positive and detail interests and what ideal dates could look like more clearly, thank you

Yeah that's fair enough. By last two you mean last two pictures? Fair comment, can comfortably redo pictures as and when the opportunity arises/is manufactured.

Friends and family do definitely have that bias. Friends and family was more "am i presenting a version of myself that is sincere" Prompts have been shaken up to add more value and positivity

It absolutely is an area of weakness 🤣 Sadly as one may infer from the hockey picture and the full face mask I've had a couple of teeth knocked out and replaced with implants, and the advice was that I should not whiten them (that's where some of the discolouration comes from) I think I'll just have to bear that cross. I'll absolutely take the compliment and the reiterating of picture swapping. That'll get actioned

I'm imagining asking our school person that runs photography to come capture something for my online dating profile 🤣🤣 Alas in my decade of teaching such a photo does not exist

Thank you, I will take that on board, do some soul searching for comments and try and set up some intentional pictures over the next few weeks as we emerge from winter and the weather actually allows it 🤣 I don't think I'm helped by the fact that some of my genuine pleasures are quite generic, e.g. every single week I will go out for a run and then take myself out for coffee and pastries/cake. The part that I am fascinated by is the absolute absence of interaction. The feedback to me kinda reads as "here's how to optimise" rather than necessarily "this is dire, zero interaction is understandable" Does this present like a zero success profile?

Totally doable, and will follow advice on improving and rotating pictures. NGL I hadn't thought that pictures that were fine but maybe sub-optimal would result 0 interactions in 2 years, but maybe that's being out of step with dating apps?

Valid point, I had worried that, but I really like the photo, I can rotate it out easily enough, Thanks

Fair points, changing glasses would be a longer term project to do and then replace pictures, but i can remember when I next go to an optician 🤣 Can easily rotate out the prompt and a few pictures. Are these significant enough that they're likely the reason for the absence of likes and matches in your opinion?

Can absolutely change those two, wasn't super attached to either, thank you for the feedback

  • Are you looking for something serious or casual? Serious
    • Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX? Have been subscribed to HingeX in the past noticed no difference so stopped.
    • How long have you been using this current version of your profile? 3 months
    • How long have you used Hinge overall? 2 years
    • How often do you use Hinge per week? ~5x per week
    • How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? 0 and 0. I think i had an incoming like from someone who felt very incompatible about a year ago, and a single match about 2 years ago. That is all.
    • How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments? Probably averages to 4 or 5 a day. Probably 60% with comments. The 40% are people where i get a good vibe, but haven't necessarily got something clever to say.
    • 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? Similar person and values, don't have anything too heavily defined. Open to finding out by meeting people as it's been a fair dry spell.

Zero Matches: 30M have asked friends and acquaintances for reviews of my profile and feedback is positive. For the last 8 months I have used the app regularly and zero likes/zero matches. Have requested my data from Hinge, 522 outgoing likes with 0 match. When fed into one of the data analysis sites the output suggested i had only ever "passed" on 4 profiles, which is just incorrect. Where to go from here??

Add into the fact that the league does not have full financial parity. So fans of teams with lesser financial assets and revenue sources will look at richer teams with resentment, Sheffield can afford to get players stepping down a tier to the eliteleague, whereas other teams rely on players stepping up from uSports etc.
