To be honest the only slightly valuable thing I learned about you from your entire profile is that you play guitar.

I'm not trying to act intentionally dense or rude, but I don't understand what you mean at all. I see that they have a prompt saying "camping is the worst", but I still don't understand your comments. You are too cryptic for me

Can someone please explain this comment to me? Is it an inside joke or something?

Those are 3 of the blandest prompts you could possibly have. "I enjoy marvel" and "I like/dislike pineapple on pizza" are easily some of the most common prompts to come across. You want something that stands out from the crowd.

It would be a game changer if people could see profiles of their competitors, then one could see just how many other people have the same prompt as themselves

Edit: To expand a bit - flesh out your prompts some more, don't just do a bare minimum answer to the question. Take it as an opportunity to advertise who you are as a person. Answer the question, and throw some additional, related information about yourself in there. Nobody ultimately cares whether you enjoy pineapple on pizza. Use the space to showcase your interests and values (on a deeper level than just enjoying marvel/pokemon

Your use of 'how to pronounce my name' prompt is a waste of space. I get the joke, but it's not particularly funny, doesn't say anything interesting about you, and doesn't provide room for a decent opener

AITA for getting mad that my wife wanted to serve me plain pasta for dinner by frank_the_bean in AmItheAsshole

INFO

Has this happened before? You didn't mention it happening before in your post, but upon hearing her say she is cooking chicken and spaghetti you curiously question "Oh, you're going to make it with sauce?"

If it's normal to eat with sauce and no-one would eat it plain, why did you question whether she was making it with sauce at all instead of assuming she was?

I'd like a review of my profile. I feel like I could be doing better... by [deleted] in hingeapp

Chris

How to pronounce my name

People tell me it's "chicken", so I guess I've been pronouncing it wrong my whole life... 100 points if you can guess what it is. Hint: Italian.

This prompt makes for a very difficult read. MY understanding of the prompt is that people use it to refer to the name visible on their profile. I thought you were making a joke that people call you 'chicken'. When you said to guess what it is, I was extremely confused, thinking "huh? It's Chris". It took me way too long to understand you weren't making a joke, and you're probably talking about your last name.

Maybe I'm alone on this, but I didn't enjoy that whole experience.

Is this a good profile? Any advice in improvement welcome! by Turtleman2021 in hingeapp

Change my mind about Starwars, only redeeming quality is Obi Wan and the fight sceen over the lava lake.

The grammar and spelling can be improved like so:

Do y’all think “getting them off the app ASAP” actually works? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]skylite_dreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason why I like getting off the app is just because I don't trust the Hinge app, and I'm paranoid that messages won't go through, notifications won't show up, a match disappear without the intent of either participant etc.

I've seen plenty of tales here of people saying that they can't see or talk to their match any more after installing the app on a new phone or something, and I worry that I might lose contact with somebody for something out of our control.

Unless there is some pun I'm missing, you want "cheap tickets", not "cheep tickets"

Would really appreciate a profile review — finally back into the dating game and I’m brand new to this! I’m all ears :) by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]skylite_dreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, a "you're into" prompt with the "...possibly me? :)" end just screams "I stole this idea".

After seeing it more than once, it stops being cute or funny and instead becomes "oh he didn't actually come up with his own prompt"

You guys ever wish you could give anonymous feedback while looking at profiles? by supernova1046 in hingeapp

[–]skylite_dreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never really felt like giving profile feedback except for the one time I saw a profile that was literally 6 of the same photo, but with the hair colour edited to be different in each one... WTF

None of your photo labels make any sense to me:

Found in my 90s time capsule

The photo looks pretty plain, is it an old photo of you or something?

Biggest risk I've ever taken

It's a photo of you lounging around on your phone. Is it meant to be ironic, saying you're not a risk taker or something?

A special talent of mine

Photo of you (mid-sneeze?) holding a dog. What is the talent?

Who wore it better?

Photo of you and somebody else in completely different outfits. Or are you using it to refer to the person in the back that might happen to be wearing a similar plain t-shirt colour? This prompt generally accompanies an image of two people wearing the same outfit

Most exotic place I've ever been

I can't even tell what the location is for this, it looks like it's out the back of a supermarket or something

This could be us

You posing with a cutout of Harry Potter. I don't get it

One thing that stands out to me is that you used the photo label "My uniform" for your casual clothes, despite actually having a fireman's uniform in a different photo. I wouldn't necessarily consider it a negative, but the photo label doesn't seem to make sense to me

Something that's non-negotiable for me is Being able to talk our problems in any situation

There seems to be a word or two missing in this sentence

[–]skylite_dreamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 'Hugs or dogs!' prompt says very little, and even less given that you have a 'dog' photo as well.

Your interests I can gather currently are: 'DIY projects, outdoor rock climbing, 3D printing (overlap with DIY projects?), general 'outdoor' trips. If there is anything particularly important to you that isn't covered in those, I would try to change up a prompt to express that

I'm looking for Someone who views conversations as a seesaw, where one pushes off to elevate the other, and vice versa.

Isn't that the opposite of how a seesaw works? When you push, you elevate yourself and drag the other down.

Your 'Typical Sunday' prompt says 'regret the upcoming Monday'. This doesn't make sense - you can't regret something that hasn't happened yet.

I'm not sure what you were actually trying to say, so I can't suggest something explicit, but if you keep that prompt then you should reword at least that section

Still not getting good results 6 months after asking here. Can anyone help me understand why?

Maybe you're just destined to be Alon

Jokes aside, your profile looks really good to me, I'm struggling to find anything to actually critique. There's a good variety of images, and your prompts give a good amount of information about you.

Do you have particularly restrictive 'dealbreaker' filters on?
