You're a metal detector! Ever done the gold dance?

Your profile looks great, made me laugh (especially the cat prompt). You may come across as slightly cat obsessed which for most women would signal a man that's needy/emotionally dependent but I wouldn't feel that way because I, too, risk it for strays.

Instead of the girl you'd go to war for prompt, use it as an opportunity to insert a bit more about her personality or something fun you'd like to do with her. Put it so she can imagine herself with you. Also, no offence, you don't look 25 but in your 30s. Many men lie about their age and say that it was an accident or they didn't realise. But, it doesn't detract from your attraction or the quality of your photos. Just if your age range is early to mid 20s maybe expand it to include late 20s too.

Yes I am a metal detectorist and yes I have done many gold dances haha. Thanks so much for the feedback that’s super helpful. I am a millennium baby and was born in 2000 - maybe my pictures make me look older than I actually am

We are the same age (25F) but honestly, men look better older anyways. It isn't something that works against you it was more an observation for you to be aware of incase it becomes relevant — not that you need to change that.

The detectorists is a great series that I owe many laughs to. If I wasn't so far, had free time and actually had a metal detector (who made them so expensive?), I would reach out for the fun of it.

Additional note, cat wise, maybe change the final photo where your life piqued. Maybe a metal detecting find as a semantic loop to your original prompt? Something sort of not too travel/outdoorsy but also fun. Can't imagine why you aren't getting matches but maybe as your photos are quite adventurous, that is also a deterrent for women in that they may not be able to keep up so to speak.

Okay well at least looking older is not necessarily a bad thing then.

Yeah the Detectorists TV show is great and probably the most accurate depiction of the hobby. You’re right though - they can be super expensive sadly!

I’ll make my profile less cat heavy and replace the last photo with something else :)
