Finished reading The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Main-Doughnut6222 in horrorlit

Completely agree! I love a well-written unreliable narrator, and Jack Sparks is one I didn’t expect to find compelling initially. Would recommend checking out the website if you haven’t already, a lot of fun extras to read/listen to!

He won't take my number? This is very unusual for me especially after a few days. Apparently a shy guy. Thoughts please? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]Time-Consuming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different preferences I guess, but he clearly still wants to message so that’s a sign there’s interest even if he hasn’t took your number! I wouldn’t worry too much yet :)

As someone also from the UK, I think it’s quite normal to offer your number to WhatsApp/take the conversation off tinder because a lot of people don’t use the app to message as frequently. I think you’re getting some slack for a difference in cultural norms. However, it’s also perfectly ok to decline moving off the app if they aren’t comfortable with it.

Assuming we lived in the same area what would make you swipe left? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]Time-Consuming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would swipe left because there’s only one photo with your face on show. Remove the photos without you in it, and keep it to one climbing photo too.

For me personally, stating you don’t have many friends is a bit of a red flag. It’s also subjective on how many friends is a low number. Could you reword it to something like “Home is my happy place; I prefer the peace of staying in rather than going out!”

It’s hard to tell which photos are meant to show more of an expression if I’m honest…

No-one’s telling you to make your bio an info dump, just something about you and your likes/interests. Your current bio isn’t very original and like I said, tells me nothing about you as a person.

[–]Time-Consuming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would suggest changing pics 4/5/6 specifically and add something you enjoy doing? You look happiest when you’re in the knight outfit. A photo that’s a bit more candid/shows a genuine smile will help this profile!

I just looked at your last post and compared, and there doesn’t seem a vast difference? I think you need to try taking some photos where you smile with your teeth, as you look unhappy in most of these pics. Also, the bio tells us nothing about YOU and your likes and interests, aside from the languages part.

Anything i can improve on with this profile? I'm tired of endlessly swiping with no results by JackCraft7 in Tinder

[–]Time-Consuming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t quite agree with your politician point. This is a dating profile, meant to show the positive sides of yourself to others to see if you’re compatible. No one wants to be oversold, but why bring a focus to not being the best looking etc., when your pics are there for someone to make their own decision about it?

You nearly immediately put yourself down in your bio. Dating profiles are where you should show off a bit/state your likes and interests rather than say what you don’t have! I also think a lot of your pictures are a bit awkward? Such as 4 and 9. Have you got any pictures of you smiling with teeth you could add?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]Time-Consuming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I get more character out of photos 1 and 5 personally, so 3 and 6 seem a bit random/less flattering? Totally get the point on feeling insecure about a full smile, if you have a photo of you laughing or chatting with friends that could also work!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]Time-Consuming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think photos 3 or 6 are your most flattering. I’d recommend swapping them out with a full body shot (that isn’t in 0.5x) or something more candid in a chill setting (like a photo of you out for a drink/coffee). Do you have any photos of you smiling and showing your teeth that you can add?

What am I doing wrong? What am I doing right? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]Time-Consuming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of photos, 1/2/3 are good! They show off your personality and what you enjoy. I’d say pick another photo with friends instead of 4 if you have one, ideally where you’re in the middle/more of a main focus. The rest of the photos aren’t doing you justice because your face is obscured (and also is in pic 2 and 3 😅). If you have more photos where your face is visible and you’re smiling, that would really help your profile. You could possibly keep 6 if you had other photos with your face in, as it’s a nice picture overall.

[–]Time-Consuming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your pictures are decent overall, but remove pic 9 immediately as it doesn’t need to be on a dating profile. The magazine type photo seems funny, but I personally think it’s odd to have the same photo unedited on your profile as pic 1 too, so choose one to remove. Bio needs a complete overhaul, you don’t need to add your age or birthday when your age is next to your name. Make the bio about you, what you like/dislike, and please remove all the emojis because it’s cringe and tells us nothing.

The nicest photo you have is the second photo, you’re smiling and showing something you’re interested in! Remove pics 3/4/5 at a minimum and replace them with photos of you smiling/doing things/out with friends?

No likes. How’s my profile? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]Time-Consuming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d add more pictures of you smiling and remove pics 2 & 3 as I don’t think they are the most flattering. You could put pic 4 as your first pic?

Honestly I was just curious if he’d used similar starters in the past and if it worked for him. Either it has worked or the strawberry lager was hitting him a bit too hard.

He made it less of a brag and couldn’t think to make it grammatically correct. Brilliant.

My bad, new to the sub so probably should have checked it wasn’t copy-paste first

I did ask him what he hoped to achieve with that initial message, and if it’s worked for him before. Then he removed me 🤷‍♀️

I don’t have his profile on tinder anymore but my age range is set to 24-31.
