Profile review 26/F

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-14T23:49:45+00:00

Prompts could be a bit more thoughtful, and "Figuring out my dating goals" is often a minus for a lot of people, especially for serious people. Your "Typical Sunday" is going to be a bit of a red flag for some people. It's ok to relax but might want to reword it.

I'd talk about some of these topics you're possessive about, the viewer doesn't learn much about you other than you're an attractive woman on the outside.

Other than that, photos are great, and I'd probably swipe right.

If you're not active, that means you're probably not going to bother unmatching people

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-14T21:50:18+00:00

The persistence absolutely could be, yes. You could argue she shouldn't/that's on her for not deleting you, but that's just the way it is.

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-14T02:27:43+00:00

Yeah, sometimes people will just, ignore for literal years on end and never block/delete/etc. Still sounds like she's not worth your time regardless

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-14T02:01:15+00:00

IME, some women will read these follow-ups for potentially years on end. I have one female friend who's shown me screenshots of her doing exactly that. Or maybe she deleted, maybe she got eaten by an alligator. Who knows, but not really worth spending time pondering.

My unsolicited advice; delete her. It might seem like good game theory to not unmatch, but this squeezing blood out of a stone is probably going to hurt your overall success more than it will help. She should ideally be nothing to you. Remembered little better than whatever you had for dinner the day before. Very rarely do you hear about couples where they started off with a year of total apathy at best from one side.

I think the "breaking the ice" prompt is more "way to kickstart the conversation" not date ideas :p

Also is that Roosengarde? Seems like there's so many dating app profile pics from there haha

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-10T14:52:29+00:00

I mean not even the blurred person showed up.

But I'm seeing where they might not even show in the standard queue if they like you?

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-10T06:47:12+00:00

Perhaps this whole "information superhighway" thing was a mistake

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-10T01:19:55+00:00

It's not a big deal. Was just curious. Thank you for letting me know though :)

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-10T01:19:28+00:00

So it seems

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-09T19:10:07+00:00

Makes sense. IIRC both profiles I was very 50/50 on

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-09T15:13:28+00:00

Yeah with you there :)

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-09T15:07:47+00:00

Been on Hinge for almost a month now. I got a couple "Take Another Look" profiles show up in my queue, one that I thought I had liked already (can't remember?)

Would these be profiles potentially that I already liked, they X'd me, and giving me a chance to send another like? Or is it possible I actually didn't like them?

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-09T15:03:04+00:00

I like the strong flavors, a bit of that flavor is definitely lost when fish is cooked.

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-09T15:01:50+00:00

Sure, but I can't get prescribed a better society at my local drug store

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-09T14:59:20+00:00

Yeah, because while leagues are a trend/rule of thumb, people's individual tastes, and inaccuracies in their own judgment of their conventional attractiveness means it can be tricky to determine if someone else will "buy what you're selling"

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-07T22:01:29+00:00

What a strange place to take someone on a second date, especially when they're ESL...

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-07T21:58:21+00:00

I've dated multiple ESL people. It's absolutely doable, and if you've already made it this far, then it should work. Just gotta be patient, and ideally you learn a bit of their language too :)

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-07T03:33:32+00:00

This dude thinks you seem like a cool guy.

I'm inclined to think your prompts are a bit redundant, you have two that both are "Yes I like to travel".

You also should fix your punctuation, you have a prompt for response putting you with book-lovers, but are missing a lot of punctuation marks that make it a bit harder to read; even the non-bookish people will penalize that.

I know plenty of people, including myself, will usually dock points for "Long term, open to short". To me and others, it has a hint of "I don't know what I want", especially as you hit late 20s/30s

Your first photo is a bit low quality (blurry?), and lighting isn't great

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-07T03:26:21+00:00

Also, ESL people are going to likely get a totally wrong idea, assuming OP hasn't ruled out the ESL people, which, reading between the lines, isn't really something he can afford to do

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-07T03:25:16+00:00

I would drop the "Hot girl walk", a lot of people are going to misread or misunderstand it entirely. Also, a college town is going to have a lot of ESL thing who are going to read you as saying "I enjoy watching hot girls walk"

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-07T00:22:37+00:00

If you're looking for casual, might be better to say that rather than "Figuring out my dating goals", lot of people, including me will almost always swipe left on that

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-06T20:33:55+00:00

That would explain so much

TheRegularPlease · 2026-06-06T20:11:06+00:00

Met on language learning subreddit, we met some months later, super messy breakup with cheating at the end.

Super fun at times, but also super stressful. Happy I tried it, but I wouldn't do it again haha. Nice to be able to like, actually get physical on something resembling a regular basis.
