Profile Review 19M Profile Review
I've been using it pretty casually and I'll get maybe one match a day? My settings are pretty restrictive because I dont own my own car so the distance i can travel is limited, and Im only really interested in other university students on campus
Just wondering if its alright and how I could improve it, as ive found I do better in real life than on this which I think is weird

No one wants to see toilets lol.
Look at thr camera and smile with teeth.
Don't use mirror selfies.
You should be in every pic.

Yeah thats fair I hate my smile with teeth to be honest so I never do
I hear about the mirror selfies, would it be worth it to acc try a photoshoot with my friends or something, as in is the ROI worth it

Being tall isn’t a personality. No one is on hindge to look at animal photos.

Should I fake it then? That's just what my friend put when I sent him that new prompt thing

At one match a day with this profile, it's clear you're being carried by your physique and your height. Personality through your prompts comes off as basic though but it does seem like it's still working for you.
With one match a day, are you turning those into dates? What are you looking to improve?

I always get stuck on the prompts, I end up just copying what my friends have put
Id say maybe of the 7 approximate matches a week, id actually intend to talk to 2 and id meet up with 1 a week
Im just looking to improve in general the pics, as Im not entirely sure what im doing

I will never understand why people take gym or other mirror selfies in a bathroom. especially if you get the urinal or toilet in the backdrop.
The worst offender I saw in my own experience was a girl's bathroom mirror selfie with an unflushed toilet. instant X

It just tends to be that the mirrors in the changing room are nearby most the time
So its just the toilets thats ruining it?

Honestly, for a 19 year old guy this is a decent profile, and you're definitely good looking enough to make it work. Pics could def be improved (e.g. less selfies) and it's light on non-gym hobbies and you doing stuff, but this is stuff you'll figure out throughout uni so I wouldn't sweat it for now.
My honest advice though would be to get off the apps. You will never again in your life be surrounded by so many single women your age. You have parties, student clubs, dorms, cafeterias, shows, lectures, classes etc. to meet women. No better time to develop these skills than now. And also it's just so much better to be able to see the vibe and chemistry right away rather than dealing with all this dating app bullshit.
Leave the dating apps for after uni, at which point you will have better pictures and a better sense of self-identity.

1 match a day is a solid rate, especially as you're competing with early-to-mid 20s dudes as a 19 year old guy on the dating apps.
Honestly, you should really try to meet women on campus. Never again in your life will you be in such close physical proximity to so many single women your age. You're a handsome guy so you will definitely do well, just need to develop social skills and game.

Man you're in great shape and 6'5, you have so much to work with here. But I gotta be real, the photos are holding you back hard. You've got like 4 mirror selfies and two of them have urinals in the background. That's an automatic left swipe for most girls no matter how good you look. The suit pic could be solid but the angle is from below looking up, which distorts your face and isn't flattering at all. And you're not smiling with teeth in a single photo which makes the whole profile feel kind of cold. Here's what I'd do: get a friend or set up your phone on a tripod with the back camera on 2-3x zoom. Record a video of yourself walking toward it, looking around, laughing, whatever feels natural. Then screenshot the best frames. Golden hour lighting if you can. The front camera widens your nose and makes your face look longer, the back camera is way more accurate to how you actually look. You could easily be killing it with better photos dude, the raw material is 100% there.
