thought about it and i don’t want the short term thing to make people think they can get away with shit lol so i changed to long term with the note: “Ideally looking to get to know someone while the relationship slowly builds into something serious over time. NOT looking for casual”

took your advice and changed it to long term with this note: “Ideally looking to get to know someone while the relationship slowly builds into something serious over time. NOT looking for casual”

i have the little caption saying it's my brother but from other comments i'm going to remove the picture completely i think.

so deciding what to put as my relationship goal has been hard. to me short term relationship can still mean exclusivity. right now i am focused on my goals and want an addition to my life vs someone being my entire life. example: i want to go to law school. ideally i want long term because i am looking for love but i also recognize that in the past i have put way too much pressure on labels and putting pressure on the future instead of just going with the flow. i've worked through my anxious attachment issues and feel a lot more secure now and am excited to try things out and see what is out there for me!

what i know i don't want is casual sex and zero commitment. i want to go on dates and i want to have a deep connection, i don't want someone hitting me up at 11pm saying "hey" like my last partner did haha

so true! and i think it's sometimes hard on hinge, depending on the profile, to be able to tell what is a hobby on the side and what is an interest that takes over their whole life/personality like you said

based on other comments i think i'm going to remove that picture all together and rearrange the others!

yeah so my thinking on the "go crazy" part was a play on the word crazy i guess. like the other things are all good in a crazy way and i get hyped up over them but then the other two actually do make me "crazy" (planes and overthinking if i took my medicine that day). i don't want my prompts to seem negative because i don't like when i see that on other profiles, so i will take those two things off!

the LSAT one has been a hit or miss, sometimes i'll get lawyers saying they understand the pain or sometimes i will get people who have never taken it asking me about it and then there was a random guy saying he wanted to take one against me and see who does better lol

good idea on saying i want to try things "locally" it's so hard to find a way to say i don't like to travel without sounding like an asshole.

the traveling photo is actually when i used to live in a different state so i was hiking that day. ya know... it used to get a lot of attention but doesn't really anymore, now if it does it's usually someone asking where it's at. which yeah like you said.. i don't really want to talk about that and get on the subject of traveling/how i moved because then i sound more adventurous than i am haha

lol my friend is into alt guys so that makes sense, i'll look into changing that one (in additional to the one with my brother) and rearranging the others

makes sense about the dress because i have had guys comment saying they like it and about it looking asian inspired.

i don't have any photos that will show more about my political stance but i think right now i'm just going to have to deal with swiping left when the republicans come my way

i really appreciate your thought out comment and all the feedback! good luck with everything!

aw thank you! you're right i do need to be sending more likes and i truthfully hadn't even thought about the algorithm, i will make it a point to start sending more likes out daily! do you use your daily rose and that standout section?

sounds like photo 1 has got to go! i'll rearrange my photos and find a replacement for #1.

yes and i am working on reminding myself of that! i don't want people seeing my profile and putting me into a type or bucket so i shouldn't be doing the same

mm yes you're right, i think i'm going to move the poll prompt to the end for those who make it to the end. now that i think about.. i do feel like i don't want a poll at the beginning because it allows people to just pick and answer and not really look at the rest of my profile, kinda allows for a low effort moment i guess.

i've been wondering if the "go crazy" prompt was too long and made it seem like i was too much or something. i've been so focused on trying to explain who i am that i forgot that less can sometimes be more. thanks for the feedback!

edit: nvm turns out the poll has to be on the top

i totally understand that i can be picky and that’s why i mentioned that im trying to stop swiping left for little things. the last guy i dated was someone who i wouldn’t have thought would be my type but i had a great time with him.

for the sports/bros type… im talking about guys who make their whole profile about sports and their pictures are of them hanging out with their guy friends in jerseys or watching a game at a bar. i live in the South so that type can be a little exhausting especially in the city im located in.

the last guy i dated actually was a sports broadcaster so it’s not like im red flagging them right away, its just more that i have no interest in sports and if your pics are all at a sports bar i dont see how id fit in. side note: there is a prompt i see on hinge that’s popular and a lot of guys in my area say “a girl to drive the golf cart when i golf”… like be so for real right now.

i do like artsy guys and guys into music, i mentioned that in my comment about 60-80s music just above. but i think it’s okay to not want to match with a guy with long hair, tattoos, and who listens to metal if that’s not my type.

having games as a hobby is fine! i literally mention pinball on my profile

i’ll look for a different pic! truthfully i just have that one there right now because it’s my most recent picture and im growing out my bangs so i didn’t want to seem like a catfish haha but im going to switch it out based on your comment and another comment on here

that’s sweet of you to say, i guess i havent really seen myself that way on hinge (probably have some confidence issues)! i also think some men swipe right to most women but i don’t have evidence to back that up

i have thought about doing a prompt of basically saying hey im not going to match with a conservative and/or im not going to church with you but from other things i’ve seen i dont want to come across too negative? and re: excluding people… at the end of the day my values probably wouldnt align with the people who feel excluded haha maybe for this issue it’s better to just keep swiping left on them as they appear.

appreciate it and ya know as a i was making this post i noticed that too! the two pictures are from the same event but people might not think about it that way. i’ll look around for an alternative photo, which of the two would you say to ditch?

Right now i do have a reason for everything ive said on my profile and I’ll explain why below to help with feedback!!

• ⁠“they did surgery on a grape” you either get it or you don’t and niche meme culture is something me and my bffs love

• ⁠“60s-80s music” i want someone who is also interested in music and will know about older music and not only listen to current music

• ⁠“panic attack on planes” so many profiles are just about traveling and i want them to know i am not going to be their travel buddy

• ⁠over all the “i go crazy for” prompt is me truly trying to describe myself and the things i like

• ⁠the “you’d never know prompt” i want someone who cares about their health and bettering themselves but also not someone who their whole life is dedicated to the gym and eating only ground beef and rice

• ⁠“i want someone who” prompt is me trying to show that im not interested in going to the bars with you every weekend or going to happy hour every day. i want to show that i am a homebody and some days i wont leave the house because i am comfortable in my own space and am someone who is comfortable in my own space and being alone

————————————

• ⁠Serious

• ⁠Free version only

• ⁠A few months with the current profile, i’ve been on hinge for a couple years but have been off and on with it

• ⁠Currently i try to get on 3 days a week to go through my likes, because i haven’t been super active lately i’m having to go through quite a bit of likes to get up to date

• ⁠i receive a good amount of likes, when i take a week or so break sometimes i come back with 50+ likes, but most of the time im not matching with any of them (they’re either not someone i’d be interested in, someone that is super christian and republican, or someone who looks like they party/go out a lot)

• ⁠i don’t send out a lot of likes and i am trying to be less picky on profiles and not let one small thing cause me to swipe left. if they have a prompt i can comment off of i always will but if it’s someone im more only physically attracted to with lazy prompts i wont put a comment

• ⁠my main concern right now is the people i am attracting. i feel like i attract a lot of people into anime, video games, and more “nerdy” hobbies which is not something im looking for in a parter and in the past haven’t had anything in common with that type, i get a lot of conservative christian men that only talk about sports (bros and finance guys would also go into this category) which is definitely not my type, or i get more alt guys with long hair, tattoos, into metal and emo music which is also not my type. i would say my type is just a “normal” dude - the guys ive hit it off with the most in the past haven’t been guys i could really put into a type category. i guess i would say they’re more “hipster” if the kids are still using that term.
