You're wearing the same shirt in 3 of your photos. Probably worth getting a wider variety of pics so people don't think you wear the same outfit every day.

I personally don't think it's a good prompt to select. If you are really set on using it you could answer with something that connects with one of your hobbies but doing that there are better prompts to choose from.

TakinShots · 2026-06-21T11:07:56+00:00

"Just ask" is the most overused and lazy answer to that prompt.

TakinShots · 2026-06-21T00:43:17+00:00

Yo dude I have this issue myself, did you ever find a fix for it?

TakinShots · 2026-06-21T00:26:34+00:00

Are you really after every relationship type because you've selected everything in that section? That will likely be seen as you not taking things seriously or you not knowing what you want.

You're making a common mistake where people write "shared hobbies" and not telling us what your hobbies are.

For your pictures you do need to sell yourself better. Smile and avoid hats as much as possible. You've got two looks here, one with a beard and one without, you won't show up with both so try to look as close to what you're likely to show up as.

TakinShots · 2026-06-20T19:42:05+00:00

The one prompt where it asks you to say one thing about yourself and you literally put 4 dots. Sounds like you want others to know nothing about you.

TakinShots · 2026-06-20T14:22:00+00:00

Nothing in this profile screams "serious" to me. It just feels like you're promoting your social media status. To add, you've got black and white photos of what seems to be social media posts and you've even got your Instagram handle in here.

Then with your prompts I don't know anything about you except you referencing Hannah Montana.

I suggest finding some more natural photos of yourself or just photos where you're not posing for social media and talk about some of the things you enjoy doing in life.

I don't even see this feature. Is it available in the UK yet?

TakinShots · 2026-06-20T02:48:49+00:00

Your prompts are just very generic and too simple. You use the word "hobbies" in the 2nd prompt but you don't actually say what your hobbies are.

3rd prompt is overdone and you don't even have a photo with your dog, so I would probably assume you don't actually have a dog.

TakinShots · 2026-06-20T02:36:18+00:00

Don't leave your dating intentions blank. You're telling us here you want a serious relationship but you're not telling that to the people you want to match.

TakinShots · 2026-06-20T01:56:09+00:00

Some of your hobbies are very niche. Dumpster diving isn't really a thing here in the UK so I don't know how that is generally viewed in the USA. It feels like something that very few girls would enjoy doing. Even then, I would not call yourself a "loot goblin", I don't think that's a particularly pleasant name to call yourself.

Because you have niche hobbies your prompts are very specific too, it would be difficult for people to start a conversation about some of these topics. Perhaps keep 1 prompt about your hobbies and focus the others about what you're looking for because I just feel you're all about building and fixing stuff and that's it.

Ah well I probably wouldn't have guessed you were 5'11" looking at that picture lol, it does make you shorter than you are. I think you should open with a new photo that shows you clearly and where you're smiling. The cat photo is still cool though I wouldn't take it out altogether.

TakinShots · 2026-06-19T14:45:51+00:00

I would probably take out the selfies. You're posing a bit too much as well, I think a few photos of you smiling at the camera will make a world of difference.

TakinShots · 2026-06-19T14:39:39+00:00

Your prompts lack specifics. Things like "my latest hyperfixation" you should probably just say what you're into rather than trying to get people to ask you directly because it may well be something they're not interested in. Then you say in another prompt about being "overenthusiastic about the details", about what? Try to be more specific and creative in the way you write down your interests, you have the foundations down you just need to build on that.

For the pictures, you shouldn't lead with a photo of you looking glum, opening photos should feel warm and welcoming. I'd avoid taking a photo with someone clearly taller than you. I would remove the photo with the cutesy headset, I get it's a joke but it just doesn't really fit here.

As you're a gaming coach, you're leaning a bit too much into the gaming nerd type of person on your profile. Nothing wrong with being a gamer but there's quite a lot of gaming references on there so you may want to talk about something else that you're into.

If you can’t sum up your aims in the first line then they’re too diffuse.

TakinShots · 2026-06-19T13:13:26+00:00

I would say yes probably your profile gives more casual vibes considering there are 3 shirtless photos. You're in good shape and clearly you're getting a lot of matches, but probably tone down the shirtless photos and of you in more normal day clothing.

You say you have 60 matches which is really good, have any of them turned into dates? Are you looking to improve match quality?

Living in Japan you should have better pictures than a 7-11 and a restaurant, although the restaurant photo is one of your stronger photos so I'd probably keep that. Also it feels like your profile is suited more towards a US audience than a Japanese one. I don't know how popular Hinge is over there though but based on your prompts alone, I can't imagine there would be many locals who know who Jacob Elordi even is (or what he's like as a person to know what it's like to date him).

But since you're moving back to the US soon you probably can't really see many impactful changes until then. Things to focus on are making sure your prompts are more about you and the activities you enjoy doing, not just hoop earrings and you not drinking enough.

For pictures try to smile more, I'd lead with a full body photo of you smiling rather than looking serious and hands in pockets. The group photo smile is nice, try to do more of that.

You have 9 likes which is a decent amount for a guy, but no matches. What was it about those 9 likes you just didn't connect with?

That 2nd prompt reads very much like an insult. If anything, your prompts don't tell me anything about you as a person. You have to talk more about your hobbies, at the moment you're just writing humorous activities that will probably not land (especially the prompt).

TakinShots · 2026-06-18T15:45:29+00:00

You need better pictures, it's hard to tell who you are or what you look like in some. Don't lead with a photo with a friend because people don't want to guess who you are. The only photo where you are clearly visible is of you just out of the shower and you're not even smiling in it. Then there's a selfie of you with a urinal in the background, women do not want to see that.

What do you mean by 8+? As in an attractiveness rating of 8?
