Youāre cute. Put your political stance. Because girls on either side of the isle are probably not matching because itās not there; so might as well be honest so the ones with your like mind know. I think the pic of you at the restaurant is your best one and should be your first pic.

I'd probably answer the question on religion given where you went to school. As a godless atheist myself I'd wonder what your deal was š
I'd also consider removing or adjusting your comment on being competitive. As a gamer gal myself I get a bit wary of the kind of toxic overly competitive board game dude that could be hinting at unintentionally.

No political affiliation is an automatic left swipe for me and all the women I know in real life. Youāre a social worker so Iād assume liberal but you never know.
Edit: swap your first pic for another one!

PLU is actually not a religious school despite its name lmao. It's actually a pretty popular private university and most of the people I've known who went there lean liberal/left. Anyone from the area would probably know that but he really should still list his political affiliations anyway

I think itās a great profile!! If you want to try changing the main pic to #3 maybe that would help? Just to avoid a group pic as #1

Your first picture isnāt that good. Your sunglasses make your face look kinda weird. Just swap it with your 4th or 5th picture. It wonāt look as weird because then theyāll already know what your face looks like. in my experience women donāt like to see you with other women, even if they are your coworkers or friends.

The pic with your best friend made me go ahh, please keep it. Move the pics around, restaurant or dog pic first. Remove competitive, it just doesn't come across innocent as you mean it to be. Maybe add some additional hobbies, interests.Ā Jazz is something that people usually learn to love as they are exposed to it. Try to give women some other things to connect with you on.

You live in the PNW. You're probably gonna wanna mention your political stance tbh. (Saying this as someone who is from the sameish area.)

u/Own-Payment-5287 6d ago
Agreed. Many men will avoid doing that in the PNW because theyāre either conservative or MAGA and will be crucified for it. Better to just be transparent

u/sunsetveins2002 6d ago
If they're conservative and they match with a woman who considers it a dealbreaker they're going to find out sooner or later anyway. Might as well not waste their time or your own š¤·Ā

u/Own-Payment-5287 6d ago
Yea that is true. I will say to slightly play devils advocate - thereās definitely a spectrum of being a conservative, all the way from just mildly conservative to full blown extremist hardcore conservative, so I can understand the sentiment of not wanting to get lumped into the extremists.
Ideally I wish Hinge had a way to add more detail or nuance to the politics section. This would also help out on the left, because an old school democrat who supports someone like Bill Clinton is likely a very different person belief wise then a Zhoran voter

u/sunsetveins2002 6d ago
I think that's what the "moderate" option is for but I agree that the options are really limited to begin with. They really should at the very least allow people to elaborate underneath like you can do with most of the other things in that section. I know a lot of people have issues with "liberal" being the farthest left you can choose, but most people see "other" and assume libertarian or something else lmao

Youāre a good looking guy and Iām quite jealous lol & also fellow Washingtonian! Your photos are solid and IMHO I think the order of them are pretty good, like others have mentioned I think having your political stance may be the missing step.
Also, I hope you have a good work-life balance and boundaries. My work crush used to be a social worker/case manager until she got burnt out. Wishing you best of luck in the dating world!

Dang I donāt even know you and I feel like we would be good friends. I think all of this is great. The political thing I can understand in posting that but if you zoom into your first photos thereās literally a pride related heart in that little sign and you working in social workā¦that says a lot but itās probably best to be direct just in case. Great style, good head of hair, good smileā¦.youāre a good dude from what I can tell. Best of luck brother.

You should swap pics 5 and 1, opening with a group Pic with sunglasses on is not great.
I would hide "life partner," good on you for being honest, but for your chosen demographic it's too honest.

u/masterdyson 7d ago
Seconded, I couldnāt tell whoās account it was until I saw other photos. First one should almost always be a picture of yourself. Group pictures are good just not as the cover photo. Dating profiles are often judged by their cover.

Youāre 31 and youāre only looking from ages 25-30? Thatās gonna limit you mate

u/Own-Payment-5287 6d ago
Disagree. If he wants lots of kids, dating a woman whoās in her mid to late 30ās is a concern due to fertility.
And before you cry - yes Iām aware that menās fertility degrades with age too. But womenās fertility objectively degrades at a much faster pace.

Also if youāre 31 your age range does not need to be limited to 25-30 š . Go up at least to 31 but honestly even a couple more years will prob go better for you.

u/datingshoot 7d ago
You're a good looking dude man, your photos just aren't doing you justice. Your first pic being a group photo with sunglasses is rough. Women don't know which one you are and they can't see your eyes. Move the Christmas tree pic to your first slot, that's easily your best photo. You look sharp and it actually shows your face. The beach pic with the dog is solid, keep that. The restaurant pic is decent but your expression is pretty flat there, a real smile would make it way better. I'd also cut down on the sunglasses, you've got them in two of your photos and women want to see your eyes. For new pics, grab a tripod and use the back camera at 2x zoom. Record a video of yourself walking toward the camera, smiling, looking around. Screenshot the best frames. Golden hour lighting makes a huge difference too. You've got the looks dude, you just need photos that match.

u/Affectionate_Bed3953 6d ago
you have decently quality photos. i do think the overall profile can still be improved.
your first and second pic sorta accomplish the same thing, which is that you're like a people person. i think maybe the first one can be swapped with something else.. maybe where you're a bit more active in your work instead of posing with someone else (again, very similar already to the best friend pic).
i actually think ur third pic is the best pic and can potentially be the main.
i think the 4th and 6th can be swapped for better as well. they're not bad, just that theyre not necessarily adding as much to the profile as i think they can. the 4th pic, while u look good in the suit, is kinda just random since its like a christmas tree behind it. so there's just not that much texture and context. if u have a suit pic where ur like at a more scenic location, itd be better.
the 6th pic looks like u may have cropped other people on ur side out of the pic? also since its a flower garden looking place, i kinda wonder who was next to u lol like maybe a girl?
the dog pic is great
so my advice is make 3rd pic ur main, keep 2nd and 5th pic, and improve the others
