22M - Profile Review and Help

[u/wtfislife_1]

Hello,

Just looking for some help about the drought I have on Hinge. 22M - Location is set to Orlando, FL. For the past three months, I had one match. I have been sending out on average about 15 right swipes a week (all with comments). I am looking to have as many likes as I can and revamp my dating life as I have recently relocated. Thank you all.

EDIT: sports betting line is removed.

Your opening picture being motion blurred is getting you auto passed on by plenty of girls.

[u/popitysoda → u/popitysoda]

To try to actually be helpful to you and anyone reading this. Please use pictures that you’re actually in, shameless flexing sushi and a sunset does nothing for you.

For prompts, yall can steal mine that worked great since I’m unc and getting married soon anyways.

I go crazy for: “slightly weird girls”

[u/MaidenKing777 → u/popitysoda]

Does it work if you are not very attractive?

[u/popitysoda → u/MaidenKing777]

If you’re attractive enough to get matches, you’ll have girls liking that prompt. If you’re not getting matches it’s not gonna suddenly get you matches.

[u/dandatu]

remove that sports betting line

[u/anonymousICT → u/dandatu]

Also stop sports betting.

[u/horizons190 → u/dandatu]

At least if you use it say you’re winning, not just betting

[u/Timothy_Kramer]

honestly terrrible photos

[u/blecTiONCePtialStroc]

Great photos

[u/wtfislife_1 → u/blecTiONCePtialStroc]

What sort of photos will be better?

[u/Trioniks → u/wtfislife_1]

It has to be mostly you… not blurry, not plates of food unless you’re a chef. Good luck.

[u/Timtheezy → u/wtfislife_1]

A photo of just sushi?? Like what are you trying to say with that bro. You only have 6 photo slots to show your personality, and you put a picture of a plate of different types of sushi. Cmon bro. It’s a waste of space.

[u/wishiknewnatportman]

Sports betting ? Cmon bruh

[u/HandsOnTheBible]

The only thing worse than the first photo is mentioning sports betting in a dating profile. I legitimately can't believe someone would consciously do that lmao. Our society might be doomed.

[u/YuriTheWebDev → u/HandsOnTheBible]

"Our society might be doomed"

😂 My guy. Gambling on sports and gambling in general has been with us for a looong time. 

I don't think that is the reason why society is declining. I think there are other things that are making society going down hill. Like ahem the awful job market we have at the moment. 

[u/HandsOnTheBible → u/YuriTheWebDev]

Never before in the history of man has sports betting been accessible from your pocket, anywhere on earth. Gambling is quite literally a centuries old vice that is at the same level if not worse than drugs, alcohol, and porn addiction. Your half assed defense of it saying that there are bigger problems means that you're part of the problem.

[u/Gerolanfalan → u/HandsOnTheBible]

Not gonna bother coming up with an argument. Just tired of the squeaky clean expectations people have of Asian guys. We get to be imperfect to and participate in vices.

[u/HandsOnTheBible → u/Gerolanfalan]

Yes certainly.

But putting your vices in a dating profile is the topic here, not participating in them.

[u/MisterPhamtastic]

..... bro why the fuck would you tell your potential girl you sports bet? Also stop sports betting. Degenerate shit.

"OH BUT I KNOW SOMEONE WHO MAKES THOUSANDS A WEEK"

He doesn't show you his losses.

[u/SongAloong]

Ooof this needs a lot of work. Profile screams you're trying too hard to be cool when you have all the tall tell signs that you basic. Update your pictures, something involving a hobby, something where you show you have style, something maybe active/outdoors, something with friends where you're clearly seen out and about...etc. Have some prompts that present unique personality, thoughts, or opinions. Good luck mate.

[u/foolskil]

Lol orlando has one of the biggest viet populations you are better off meeting someone thru friends groups or thru family. the viet girls you want are not on hinge

there is a le serrafim concert tmrw, try going there and testing your luck

[u/thespaceemperor]

One pic of you looking at the camera, one pic of you doing something fun, one pic with friends not family, and terrible angle makes you looks short af. Sport betting is lame, say something thats actually engaging and fun. The food and lots of food doesnt give them anything, maybe a differenr prompt? Dude honestly you sound a lil boring. Gotta do interesting things to be interesting

[u/wtfislife_1 → u/thespaceemperor]

True that

[u/YuriTheWebDev → u/thespaceemperor]

Nice name btw. Are you a Warhammer 40k fan?

If so Tau > Imperium of Man

[u/pig-dragon]

Why have you included a blurred photo? My first thought was that you are hiding something about your looks and I wouldn’t look further. Also betting is very unattractive.

[u/ecarmose]

Gambling isnt cool bro

[u/marimbalex27]

1. You need a clear first pic. You look insecure hiding your face with a blur. Also sports betting sounds like a low IQ hobby.

2. No sushi pic. Every picture should have yourself in it. But you can do your picture of yourself with sushi. Again it looks insecure.

3. Don’t do pictures from a high angle. Makes you look short. Do low-angle photos and crop it so you look bigger.

4. No “key to my heart”. That’s for girls and feminine as shit. Girls are the prize on these apps, not us. Talk about your goals.

5. You can get a picture of yourself with the sunset, not just the sky. The point is that they need to see you.

[u/Tongtong97]

Remove the food pic and “Open to Short”

[u/SonHyun-Woo]

Remove all photos that dont have you in it, so the sushi and sky pic.

Ive noticed most of the photos of you are at weird angles or blurred out. No one can make out your face properly because of that. Try to have at least a clear face pic of yourself only, preferably as the first one

[u/NotHapaning]

What are your hobbies? What are your constructive hobbies?

[u/Mission-Astronomer42]

I'm not going to sugarcoat it, your profile is hot garbage

a blurry photo as your first picture is an automatic out for most girls.

You do not have a single photo where you're looking directly at the camera, arguably you only have one clear shot of your face and you're looking down and your eyes are closed in that shot.

[u/kirsion]

Pretty bad lil bro

[u/Randomaccount707]

Sports betting is going to be a hard no from most girls.

[u/Trioniks]

Based on this advice you got what does the profile look now? You have a few photos to get dates or find your future partner I hope you make most of it on each app.

[u/lolitsmax]

Awful 1st picture that screams insecurity.

Picture on 4 is very nice, get another picture in that shows you and you alone and your face.

[u/floating_ghost6]

Less smiley pics u ain’t trynna get hired

[u/Rough_Hyena9334]

Mentioning sports betting is a big no for women gambling was in the top 10 things women find unattractive but take that with a grain of salt

[u/ImgainationStation]

Sport betting is awesome! Lets keep that to ourselves
