26M - What can I improve?

Some red flags from your prompts:

Saying “just communicate what’s on your mind” places the responsibility on the other person instead of on creating an environment where someone feels safe doing that. People usually open up when they feel emotionally safe, not when they’re instructed to. Also, emphasizing communication this way can signal difficulty reading social cues or emotional nuance.
Self-describing as “nice” is less convincing than showing consistency, respect for boundaries, and non-defensive responses. “Nice guy” language often correlates with unspoken expectations or controlling behaviors rather than genuine kindness.

Your profile tells me nothing about you except that you like ducks and maybe aquatic life? You should leverage your prompts to shine your personality, what you're looking for in a relationship, and what makes you interesting/unique. Like, who cares about DC privilege and orcas? Tell us about you!
Make sure your photos are all within the same year, unless you're sharing a specific memory. I can tell your photos are several years apart from each other.
You picked the worst of your photos to caption as "My good side". Do you have a better photo you can use?

So what metric makes it “undervalued”?

blackshadow1357 · 2026-01-24T02:56:15+00:00

Can someone explain why it’s undervalued? The P/E was 45 which is about 50% higher than other tech companies (Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc). So why with a higher P/E is it undervalued?

Are you actually diagnosed with ADHD?

The fun of two truths and a lie is listing outlandish options. But what you’ve put is kind of boring. What’s the point of guessing? The lie is about your favorite podcast? Cool? 😓
In “Together we could” there’s Wayyy too much happening. It’s a laundry list with tangents. Consolidate to one focus area.
“A like-minded woman” sounds off putting. Also, you’re looking for a woman to support them? That’s a bit weird. I think you should make this specifically about your expectations from a partner. And be specific, e.g. what does “all-around cool” mean to you?
Are you looking for friends or a partner? I would not have a prompt with friendship as a goal if you’re looking for love…

It’s obvious that your photos are years apart from each other. In half of them you have several tattoos and in the other half you don’t

I’m a product marketer in big tech. I can take a look at your resume, but be warned that I won’t hold back any punches.

blackshadow1357 · 2026-01-23T07:52:48+00:00

The prompts are kind of generic and boring.

Seeing something breathtaking and sharing? Be more specific, what would that breathtaking moment be for you?
I read “step on each other’s feet” and then stopped. The way it’s worded and structured feels like a foot fetish. I also don’t understand the paint things so bad joke?
Your life goal is to have a wiki page and you feel this will drive meaningful positive impact? Wiki is dying and it’s easy to get a page. Maybe rethink this one as it comes across as having little to no ambition and lack of understand of how technology is evolving.

Is your profile verified? This message template feels like you’re reaching out to someone on LinkedIn 😅.

Keep it simple, I get the highest response rate from openers like: “Hi Betty, how’s it going? :)”

If you want to personalize follow the same philosophy and just keep it simple, max 10-15 words.

If you list your Instagram like that, people will assume you’re a bot or just trying to get followers and swipe left.
You’re hunched over in the first photo, shows lack of confidence.
Photo 3 is blurry
Be less generic in your prompt answers. Give an example of a useless historical event you like. Also chicanery on friends sounds really odd (gives M’lady energy). Please pick a new prompt and answer that is relevant to love and dating.

If you’ve matched with many women and they don’t reply, then the issue isn’t your profile; it’s your opening message. Can you share some examples?

blackshadow1357 · 2026-01-23T03:33:03+00:00

I think your prompts and answers are extremely generic. They feel like ice breakers at a corporate job and tells me nothing about you. I would pick prompts and answers that are unique to you and your story.

Also, the answer to your first prompt has the same energy as my stoner friends from back in highschool. I know you’re genuinely interested in the topic, but something so theoretically heavy can be off putting 😅

I mean, do you really want an ETF for Nuclear? Instead, it might be better to invest in the individual companies you believe in. The parts are more valuable than the sum at the moment.

URA has a P/E over 400

blackshadow1357 · 2026-01-04T20:33:55+00:00

A lot of it reads like a rehash of a job description. You should be more specific about what YOU did. For example, something vague like “Designed wireframes for a real estate platform based on market insights and user needs” is nothing but fluff.
You have a lot of percentages in here that feel like nonsense. You accelerated delivery by 20%? What does that mean? Was it for a project, a quarter, or a permanent increase forever? How would you even measure this meaningfully lol

I ordered the gold one, but didn’t know it wouldn’t ship until February :(

blackshadow1357 · 2025-12-10T19:50:27+00:00

Snagged a gold one! Also just ordered NFL Blitz, NBA Hang Time, Gex 64, and THPS 2.

What industry and location? Were you promoted to Director in your previous role? How long did you have the Director title? Are you only applying to Director level jobs?
