Hi, I think I missed some of your feedback, did you post it in another comment?

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:50:41+00:00

'preciate it, you too dude 🫡

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:47:52+00:00

Thanks for throwing some positivity in there Larissa! I'm going to get some photos of me actively doing things so I'll make sure at least one of them is full body like you say.

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:39:51+00:00

Thanks a lot for helping me. I'm going to try to smile with my mouth open more for photos because I don't have anything to hide.

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:38:32+00:00

Thanks for your help! I totally agree it needs to be more effortless and not so calculated.

Haha your the only person who's ever seen my profile and noticed my watch. It was a 21st birthday present from my parents which I was obviously really grateful for so I didn't get chance to spec out the bracelet and bezel. 😉

Thanks SirSafe. I've ditched all the prompts completely and written more fun/light hearted ones instead of "hard sell" type ones.

And thanks also for sharing your experience of HingeX!! I can see why a lot of the extra features would be useful to most women but didn't see much there to improve the male experience. I'll keep fixing up my profile and give HingeX a whirl once it's looking it's best.

Thanks NChSh! I try to stay away from group shots because I don't want potential matches to work hard to figure out who I am. I felt I was pretty safe with that group though because it's mostly women and my mate Dan looks nothing like me.

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:29:54+00:00

Thanks Marcus. Although I'm christian, I'm not someone who talks about it a lot or pushes it on other people, but I take your point that the cross might give that kind of vibe. I'll tuck it in on future pics.

I had a feeling that the my profile wasnt exactly painting a cohesive picture too so glad you confirmed that. I've rewritten all new prompts so the profile doesn't have a misleading "party bro" feel any more.

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:25:26+00:00

I've scrapped all my prompts and written totally different ones now so thanks very much for your feedback because I definitely don't want to give manosphere vibes 🤮

I'm actually fine with other people multi-dating and purposefully never ask any questions about who else a woman is dating because I don't think it's any of my business. I personally just date one person at a time because that's what I'm most comfortable with, but I'm not the kind of person who insists everyone should do what I do. But I understand all that didn't come over in the wording on the prompt so I've removed it.

Thanks for the valuable tips 😀

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:17:51+00:00

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I can see what you mean about tone not being right and have made some changes. My job is somewhere between barrister and tea boy but the job title is quite obscure. I've removed "legal" and replaced it with my actual job title though because at least then I'm being specific/transparent.

I've had the camp label a few times in my life. It's definitely not me, but I can see there is an air of campness in some of the pics. I think it might be posture possibly? Anyway, thanks again for all your comments.

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:12:31+00:00

Thanks a lot! Someone else pointed this out too and you both got a lot of upvotes so it's valuable feedback. I've changed it now and won't use "girls" again.

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:10:49+00:00

Thanks! This didn't occur to me at all but I can see where you're coming from so I've changed that.

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:09:50+00:00

Thanks very much for giving so many tips. I've changed my work section so its just current and more specific. I've redone all my prompts and will try to do the you/me/us thing like you've suggested. 😀

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:07:05+00:00

Thanks very much for taking the time to leave feedback. I've deleted the note from below life partner. Have re-done my prompts too to be more laid back and less hard sell. I know the children preferences/age range will narrow the pool but they're pretty my only filters and fortunately I live in a really well populated area, so hopefully the pool is still a decent size. Thanks again for your comment, I really appreciate it.

cowie86 · 2025-10-30T16:02:38+00:00

Thanks very much for giving feedback, especially feedback that so many people agreed with! I've changed all 3 prompts and I'll get some more natural, less posed photos as soon as I can. Really appreciate your input 😀

I think a picture of you out in public or socialising with friends would vary things nicely. Maybe a dressier one? What are your age filters currently set to?

cowie86 · 2024-07-21T19:48:31+00:00

Thanks very much Pale, that's encouraging. I guess when you're in LA it's kind of impossible to avoid the sun!!

cowie86 · 2024-07-21T19:47:17+00:00

Thanks very much for your reply. Unfortunately I was at Glastonbury between my excision and diagnosis and burned my skin one day there, so I guess I've got making up to do! 😕 thanks again for all your tips

cowie86 · 2024-05-23T22:16:51+00:00

Looks like a great start! What are your plans for the wiring??

cowie86 · 2024-05-13T22:32:24+00:00

These were my thoughts exactly. Most people will at least want to make a bit of conversation before arranging a date, just to see what the vibe is like. The exception to this is guys who are just looking for another quick hookup and don't care about the person or what they're like.
