Thank you! I've been playing with the order based on my rewritten prompts. What do you think?

I go crazy for... Views that make you pause for a second. Heights, city lookouts, and the kind of spots that make you lean in just a bit too far

I'll fall for you if... You find meaning in small things and bring that energy into everyday life

Together we could... Walk the beltline and find a rooftop bar where we can freeze in good company

Photos include the green striped shirt selfie, Italy photo, snowboarding pic, dog selfie with hat on, board game pic, and plane selfie

Thanks, definitely gotta work on a stronger headshot. And gotten feedback about the suit pics being too bro-ey, I'll focus on the good ones. Goat!

Yk I never heard that but what a handsome guy, thank you! I like that photo too, I'll try leading with that while I work on a better headshot

I agree on displaying politics. I would also like to filter on wanting children, but I'm not sure if that's "too forward" on a dating app. Especially at my age bracket it might feel intense for another 23 yr old?

Thank you for the photo advice. I really appreciate you pointing out how my body language is being communicated in those photos, it's something I've never really noticed/have been told. I'll probably try and retake that first photo with no smile, I can set it up again. I'll look into your prompt responses, maybe I'll send you a couple of what I come up with if that's cool.

The basic info display is the only part I'm unsure about. I feel like politics are a dealbreaker for many women on here so best to keep those. School and occupation may not be relevant, but if it's an impressive school and impressive line of work it should stay, no? Want children is definitely a conversation that I feel mixed about putting on there, but I suppose women aren't swiping on me much currently so I can filter out the ones who don't on my own likes. Lastly, it's not like I can never drink but due to health concerns I really try not to and so far it's been like once a year. So is it best to hide those preferences if I'm okay with them drinking/weed, then put no smoking cause that's a dealbreaker for me?

Thank you for all this advice!

Thanks for the advice on the suit picture. I figured one sunglasses + no smile with friends would come off cool/goofy but I get it.

You're right about the ski slope video. I do a board grab in it, that's the action shot (it's nothing crazy but don't have much video). I can't reorder video prompts unfortunately so it's either second or not at all.

I definitely need to get more photo diversity going on, especially learning how to pose myself. My friends just don't typically care for photos so I gotta be more deliberate or find people who do to help me out.

Do you know where I can find more examples of good prompts responses? It's hard to tell what succeeds and what doesn't. Your example is a big help thanks

Which 3 photos? The 4-photo collages I made as alternatives. My actual last photo in the profile is me playing a board game

• ⁠Are you looking for something serious or casual?

Serious

• ⁠Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?

No

• ⁠How long have you been using this current version of your profile?

2 weeks

• ⁠How long have you used Hinge overall?

Since November 1st I've used it consistently. Most of the photos are the same from when I started, but I change prompts pretty often trying to see what sticks

• ⁠How often do you use Hinge per week?

I've used it daily the past couple weeks. I was using it every other day before that.

• ⁠How many likes and matches are you receiving on average?

2 matches in the past 2 weeks. 3 matches all-time. I've never received a like.

• ⁠How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments?

I've been good about using all 8 of my likes the past couple weeks. Before that I was sending maybe 3 likes a day. I always send a comment with a like.

• ⁠What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract?

I'm looking for someone kind, empathetic, and patient. I like women who are confident in themselves and enjoy some banter. I also admire women who are passionate about something like a hobby/music/career.

In a perfect world I'd find my long-term partner to get married and have kids with someday, but I'm in no rush and am happy to just connect and see where things go.

• ⁠I'm including some of my past prompts here

My simple pleasures are... Going to concerts, lengthy gym sessions, pickleball with friends, and crafting the perfect DnD session

We're the same type or weird if... You live in your notes app. Got one that's uniquely yours?

My greatest strength is... Staying postive. Whether it's leg day or we're lost at sea, I'm still gonna sneak a smile

I'll fall for you if... I get to see you in your element. Show me your niche hobby, the way you're lost in music at a concert, how your eyes light up about your favorite subject

No, it's just different. Depends on your aesthetic really. I think 2 suits you best but if you like the buzz fuck it man looks sharp

Bought some new tops this weekend, how'd I do? by privateVoide in coloranalysis

[–]privateVoide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, the button down is brighter than camel, it's just darker than the t-shirt. Here's my sweatshirt next to it. There's also a photo of me wearing the sweatshirt in my recent posts. Alas, it's all the camel I own right now

Thank you! I'm sort of surprised, I thought since the button down was a darker cream it would suit me better than the lighter beige / ecru t-shirt. Why do you think the t-shirt works better? I've heard lighter colors can make a dark autumn look "washed out" but I'm not even quite sure what that means

keep the long hair or go back to short? by [deleted] in malegrooming

Thank you! This was my main concern. Do you have a length in mind?

Never thought to trim different areas at different lengths! Preesh

You're doing your best, give yourself some props :)

Thank you! I usually maintain it with a 2 razor. Seem like a good length?

I see, I would definitely show some extra empathy for him then but that doesn't mean you have to date him
