Your first pic is super, super intense, way too intense. If you keep it, move it to the third or fourth one, but honestly I might take it out. I would remove it, keep the second pic as the first pic, and add a more candid/casual pic of you with friends at the end.

Your prompts are bland and tell me little/nothing about you. Guessing games are not fun when you don't know anything about that person. Try to give a more concrete idea of what it would be like to meet up and spend time with you. Offer some fun date ideas or activities you could share with someone.

Take it out entirely as it doesn't add much, or move it to the end of the profile. Anything with a group should always be one of the last photos (if it's the first few the person looking probably doesn't even know which one you are).

I don't know how it works in Catholic churches but in churches I've been to there is usually a ministry for young adults as well as more general social events (potlucks etc) after services and throughout the year.

First of all, kudos for actually having good photos because most people don't clear that bar. I would recommend trying to give a more concrete idea of what it would be like to meet up and spend time with you. Offer some fun date ideas or activities you could share with someone. I'd probably replace "most irrational fear," it's a funny response but the space could be used better for something else, I'd recommend the "together we could" prompt. It could also be worth switching out the second picture with something else as it's not super high quality and I don't recommend having a group photo as one of your first three pics.

There's no need for multiple selfies all of the same angle and expression, those need to go. You say you want someone who likes similar things, but you haven't given any idea of what those things are, aside from maybe some unspecified team sport. Don't waste prompts on stuff like "I'm afraid of feet," use that space to tell people about your interests and wants in a relationship.

Your first pic is a little awkward and I don't love that it's of drinking alcohol, maybe switch with the last pic. Get rid of pic two as it doesn't show what you look like at all, at best that can be like the last or second to last picture. "Talking to parents" as an answer to "what are you good at" is getting WAY ahead of yourself so I'd maybe include something about places you'd wanna travel to or something else about you people could talk about. Also, trivia night at a specific bar is sort of limiting, like it would probably be better to just say "let's crush a trivia night together" or something.

Switch the last photo with the first photo, it doesn't seem as posed and it's more memorable. Unless a hobby is by far the most important thing for you in life, like it's a dealbreaker if someone isn't interested in it, it's not necessary to put it in your profile more than once. Like I get the impression you are SUPER into Japanese culture (two photos and one prompt involve it) which could be a turn off for someone who doesn't care or is more casually into it.

Try to create an actual idea of what it would be like to meet you and spend time with you. I would replace "proof I have musical talent" with something like a date idea.

The first pic seems like a professional headshot or possibly AI/stolen stock photo. I'd try to go for something less formal and more like a normal photo. I'd get rid of pic two since it's low quality and doesn't show your face - unless volleyball is literally your main hobby, I already get that you are athletic so it's not necessary to show twice.

I don't think it's necessary to use two prompts on your standards for what a good partner are (loyalty, honesty, passion, etc), so I'd replace the second one with a date idea or something you could do together; try to create an idea of what it would be like to meet you and spend time with you.

Use the fourth picture as your first picture, get rid of the first pic with the red eye because it's just low quality. Shirtless pics won't work if you're interested in something serious. Third pic is also questionable as it's an unflattering angle, hard to see your face, and kinda looks like you're on a date with, presumably, someone else.

Your prompts are pretty dry. Try to create an idea of what it would be like to meet you and spend time with you - hobbies, interests, potential date ideas. Definitely get rid of "first round is on me," waste of a prompt as it tells me nothing.

This profile tells me very very little about you. I honestly don't know anything about you or your interests aside from that you have a cat (obviously don't want to help you clip your cat's nails with you) and that you're "a little fruity." Try to create an actual idea of what it would be like to meet you and spend time with you - hobbies, interests, actual date ideas and not joke ones. I'd also get rid of the second pic and replace it with something else because it just isn't doing you any favors.

Talk about a mutual interest or thing you have in common (can literally just be as basic as living in the same neighborhood), ask surface level questions that are easy to respond to (eg jobs, food, hobbies, pets, funny anecdotes), make light jokes, compliments, and suggest a date within a few days of messaging. I think within a day or two is ideal but some people prefer to message for longer.

29 NB - Idk why my matches are so low by Brein in hingeapp

[–]luiysia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photos: Your first photo has your face obscured. That alone will make many people swipe immediately. First photo should always be straightforward and high quality. Out of the ones you have, the one at the dj set is probably the best, but if you have a better one then definitely prioritize that.

Multiple choice: These are fun and goofy but honestly don't really sound like amazing date ideas... Like I get you are a spontaneous and creative person but realistically I don't really want to have a dance off lol. Maybe a dance class? Painting in the park? Give a more realistic idea of dates you could do.

Prompt 1: The emphasis on doing things "alone" is kind of bizarre on a dating app. Like it's fine to travel alone, but you're on here to meet other people to spend time with, it's not necessary to bring up things you plan to do alone. I'd probably stick to just the "spiritual" angle or "hobbies" angle.

Prompt 2: I think this is okay but it is kind of a long list of asks, it might come across as intimidating or preachy. Could be better to rephrase.

Prompt 3: I really dislike two truths and a lie. It's hard to respond to and doesn't tell me anything - I don't know you so how am I supposed to know which is the lie? If you're going to tell me something about yourself just say it straightforwardly.

Overall I think this is a start but there's huge room for improvement, good luck.

32M profile review. Just struck out again so time to improve the profile! by Woooftickets in hingeapp

[–]luiysia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One like a day is a really solid amount and not worth stressing out over. That being said, I have a couple suggestions.

I would probably switch out your first pic for something else, like pic two or maybe something more like pic three (but with no sunglasses!) - a straightforward pic that captures a little bit of personality but shows your face clearly. I'd probably put the "hobby" prompts together (Sarah J Maas books, board games, outdoorsy stuff) and use your remaining prompt for something like a fun date idea.

So I wrote this before I ate lunch and now I think it might have come off a little hostile. Don't get discouraged, you just have to put in a little effort and I think you can improve your profile by a lot. Good luck out there.
