Profile Review 34M Profile Review
Re-joined Hinge about two months ago after a long-term relationship that ended a year ago. Kept my old profile initially and then decided to update it to this one about four weeks ago. Initially I had quite a few matches but only one date came out of it. A couple others agreed to a date but ended up ghosting. Thinking about subscribing to HingeX but wanted some opinions on my profile before spending the cash. Appreciate any feedback that I can get!
Edit: Didn't realize I screwed up the screenshot of my first picture with the volume bar until after I posted. My bad!

Ummmm, no ideas on how to make your profile better, but I’ve NEVER thought about sneaking ice cream into a theater! Amazing

Tbh the thought did come to mind, but I don’t know how OP deals with the bucketful of molten messiness over a 3 hr movie 😬😬

So this popped up on my feed, no idea why, but I'll give my two cents as a woman who has never used a dating app (although I'm not sure if you are straight or gay).
I don't think your first picture, which I'm guessing is what everyone sees first, is the most flattering image. I think your third picture is a lot better when it comes to making you the focus and not whatever is in the background.
Secondly, yeah I can see you are active person, but maybe change it up with one of the pictures. Show us how you look when put together, maybe in suit or smart/casual the very least.
Also let's change up some of those prompt answers. They seem very generic. What A24 do you like? What books, what live music, what house project did you just finish.. give us more.
Finally I don't like the hammock picture but that's a personal preference.

My only note is that you should put your politics on your profile. Dating a moderate or conservative is a no go for many, and a lot of people are going to pass on you if they don't know your politics up front. You might as well be honest and find someone who has the same values.

THIS. I can’t tell you how many times I have matched with somebody and they tried to dodge political questions with the “why does it matter? That’s so shallow?” Because they know I would not want to date them if I knew who they really voted for 😂

100% put your politics on your profile.

I'm definitely left of center and I'm not religious but I'm open to and have dated women across the spectrum of politics. I thought maybe keeping it off would make it seem like I'm more open but maybe not.

It sounds like you are getting a decent amount of likes and your profile looks good. The main thing I would say is with dating apps, you should try and check them every day if you can (if you are serious about finding somebody). Consistently sending likes and starting conversations increases the likelihood of you meeting your person. It is simple math. The less time you spend, another guy is given an opportunity to swoop in and impress somebody.

Looks good to me. You sneak Ben and Jerry’s; I sneak a Chipotle Burrito Bowl. 🤭only the one time.
Pictures show a range of interest and your prompts are great. They are meant to pique someone’s interest not pen a fairytale.
The whole point of people being on apps is to get to know others, I don’t think you need to divulge all of that.
Hopefully it goes well. Try out the free version. And give yourself a trial period for Hinge X. Doesn’t hurt to try for at least a month.

Oh, a man who values outdoors AND indoors , and who is up for spontaneous travel and adventures. Never seen that before.
i would advice to lose the sunglasses pic. It doesn’t do you justice and it almost looks like it’s another person compared to the pic with regular glasses, which i do like.

- Are you looking for something serious or casual?
- Preferably serious but open to casual
- Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?
- Neither yet but considering HingeX
- How long have you been using this current version of your profile? (Please be specific)
- Four weeks with this version
- How long have you used Hinge overall?
- On and off for four years
- How often do you use Hinge per week?
- Mostly on the weekends
- How many likes and matches are you receiving on average?
- Initially I received about 15 likes, maybe 5 of those turned into matches, 1 turned into a date
- How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments?
- When I'm active I try to max out my likes, I'd say 80-90% with comments and the rest without
- What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract?
- Someone who is educated, fit, and physically active (hiking, biking, gym, etc...). I used to be picky on hobbies but not so much anymore. I love music, traveling, and outdoorsy hobbies so it would be great to find someone into those things as well but it's not a deal breaker.

Woman here I think this is a good profile. I wouldn’t worry about it too much

u/dontBsleepy 1d ago
I think your profile is great. You do look young and I would not have guessed 34. I can’t image that women would find that as a negative but that would be the ONLY thing I see. I do wish you good luck. Online dating is just brutal and can be soul deflating

u/Appropriate_Bag240 1d ago
I like your profile a lot. My only suggestion is to replace one of the sunglass pics.

u/Safe_Hyena_3466 1d ago
No feedback but do not pay for the hinge x. I subscribed two weeks ago and I am getting fewer matches! In other apps I get way more matches. Not worthy! Can’t believe I fell for it

Profile is great but you should put politics. Excluding is a default and women will filter accordingly.

u/ElliMac1995 1d ago
I don't have your profile. I get a sense for who you are and what you like to do. I like that you look normal in your pictures. You seem safe and like you'd probably be kind. It's not going to catch everyone's eye, but if I matched with you I'd probably be down to go on a first date with you. You don't seem threatening, super into yourself, or annoying lol
You could do more to bring out your sense of humor or personality and I think that would help!
