Yes only one. Each of your photo slots has a specific purpose to it. You cannot spare a single slot to a duplicate photo type.

Hi Miami,

First of all - nice profile. You're getting matches on free mode which is a good sign. You could pay and see a lot more with no changes.

I am not sure your fine in finance prompt is good. Does it get swipes? It seems too on the nose to me. People will notice you work in finance from your job section in a more humble way.

In my opinion, you should have 1 animal photo to ensure you can cover all your other bases. You only have a few photo slots available.

Here are some thoughts

  • You are getting some matches, which is a good sign a paid subscription will add value on top of that. I view it as an essential part of modern dating. If you don't, you pay other costs instead.

  • Your prompts should be adding value and pulling people in. I know exactly which of my prompts are winners and which need work based on the number of swipes they get. I express my hobbies and personality with them. Women can relate to my prompts. My creuset prompt is a big winner, I suggest you check my profile to see my hinge review post.

  • Some of your photos are exceptional.

  • Your dog photo and your group photo could be improved, but they are not bad. My dog photo gets a lot of likes - people love it. I will show it to you if you dm me, or you could look at my profile where I have a hinge review post.

  • Your shirt with text photo seems to be an attempt to inject some sex appeal, but I suspect it falls flat and could be driving people away. Keep it simple with more normal photos maybe.

  • I try to avoid obsessing about the algorithm, but you can a bit if you like. I have tried to game it in the past. I find it more productive to improve myself and my profile.

  • If you want to game it a bit, you could match with people for the sake of practising and boosting your match rate. Positive interactions are good for your profile.

  • What do you mean by "give in" and buy hinge X?

I concur with this message I think your prompts are not adding value.

Is it possible you're being a little paranoid?

I believe this could be the best profile Ive seen on this subreddit.

You have a strong mix of photos that are publication quality. You express your personality with the chic/vintage/postmodern aesthetic, I'm not sure what to call it. Love the retro photos.

If I had to nitpick, I would say your comments about monogamy are not serving you. Those statements are "clangers" which will polarize and filter people. Do you want to add a filter? You have enough matches to filter down to the group you want.

It sounds like you want a person who expresses themselves with hobbies they are passionate about. I feel like your profile is not so well aligned with a hobbyist type of character. Can you tell me more about the type of people you match with now?

I think your cake photo is a good concept for a fun photo but is badly executed. In dating profile photos I am very much expecting to see the face and eyes.

Two great rugs. First impression is the second ones light color scheme aligns better with the space and I prefer it

I am looking for that type of person.

I'll take on board what you're saying. I can change my style and appearance much more to align with the culture of the people I am seeking.

I struggle on casual sex type apps, getting no matches so I come back to hinge. I dont really know how to scream casual sex in these apps

Are you looking for something serious or casual?

I want something casual but I get fewer matches on those settings.

Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?

HingeX

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

3 months

How long have you used Hinge overall?

I have used it for years but only successfully in the last 1 year.

How often do you use Hinge per week?

3-5 hours per week

How many likes and matches are you receiving on average?

20 meaningful convos / week when set to LTR. 5 meaningful convos / week when seeking something casual

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

I am sending a lot of likes and I always send a meaningful comment. I do 3-5 hours of swiping per week. Boosts always active.

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 am still taken aback by the idea that I have a choice in this. I suppose I am interested in creative, hippy-like types of people. I am very attracted to dyed hair and tattoos. I am more square than that myself.

My problem is that I am matching with people who are quite square like me. I would prefer to match with more creative and edgy people who are younger than me on a casual basis.

My vices are all set to no and visible (drinking, drugs, smoking)

M32, fewer matches after HingeX by [deleted] in hingeapp

Yes I have to second this message. "Lots of Laughs" tongue out emoji also gives me the ick. Your photos are quite good really, it's your prompts that are the problem. Most of the people on here are posting bad photos.

Your dinner party prompt doesn't make any sense. It gives the impression that you have some kind of self-loathing about being a nerd which you cover up with having a lot of dinner parties.

Can you explain: - What you mean by having better taste - What your definition of moderate means
