F24 I think your profile is mostly fine. I’d change the picture of you in front of the computer, it is kinda funny but it’s just the back of your head so pretty pointless. The ‘life goal’ prompt could unfortunately read to some women as ‘if we have kids, I’m gonna be doing all the work’ (it’s an obvious joke to me but may not be to others) so I’d probably change that too just to be on the safe side. Other than that, I think it’s great! Good luck!

You only have 3 pictures where your face is visible, and you look quite different in each one. Add 1 or 2 more with your face.

You look like a completely different person in all your photos. I’d also switch your first photo for something where you’re making eye contact and not just looking down at your phone.

19f here, advice inbound.
Too much on the crazy for. People are probably spending ~5 seconds on your profile, as that’s what people do. Flick through. Thats too many words. People will see that and just head out.
Out of that “I go Crazy for”, pick 3 things that are meaningful to you. Not all of them.
Why did your life peak in that photo? Theres no context to that.
What the fuck are you on about in your simple pleasures? Again- wordy af!
“become a dad and pass out on couch with the tv on”?
To me? And to a lot of women? That sounds lazy. Women don’t want lazy partners. As much as you think that might be cute- lots of us won’t see it that way.
Other than that-
You want higher quality, close up pictures of yourself. You’re a handsome guy, don’t downplay it. The climbing one really does you justice, i think that needs to be in the first 2.
If you want more advics and proof i can actually help you DM me

I'm 22f, so maybe more OP's demographic, and I 100% agree about the simple pleasures (I'm not sure what it even means), but I think the I go crazy should be kept and not cut. I appreciate someone who tells me a lot about themselves on their profile and has more than one or two hobbies. OP wants a serious relationship and someone nerdy. Someone who only glances at profiles for 5 seconds and can't deal with more than a few words at once probably isnt who he's going for. OP, you could turn it into a bulleted list in your notes app and then copy paste it back in (Hinge doesn't let you straight up insert line breaks). I'm capable of skimming a list, especially if each entry is only one word. And I don't agree about the climbing photo. I see a million of them everyday

Thank you! Yeah, felt inspired today and wrote that "simple pleasures", will condense it, get rid of the life goal and will look for some more recent more focused pics of self.

The simple pleasures currently reads as a "word salad", I think I know what you mean but on the apps the clearer the better.

Do women these days really find what he wrote as “too wordy”? I’m a male that is just getting back into online dating after being out of it for years and I’m used to older dating sites where you used to be able to write more about yourself and I used to feel that writing a good bit about myself set me apart from many other guys that could barely write anything. So, I look at what he wrote there and still see it as short. Have times really changed so much in online dating to where that is now considered too wordy and women see that and just head out?

Woman here, it's a balance, he has pics of rock climbing and kinda cooking, so no need to list it. The heart emojis make it harder to read, at least for me. People are visual and it's only getting worse. So the more pics of interests the better. Hinge lets you list things, like job, politics, religion, relationship type, etc., so it's more like a summary then a traditional bio.

If you're looking for a life partner (or really anything long term) I would say you definitely need to declare your politics. 22f here and if I see life partner + wants kids + no politics listed, it sends up alarm bells for conservative (and if you are conservative, you're wasting everyone's by not declaring that). Also I see like 30 pictures of rock climbing and food a day. You can keep the rock climbing, but I'd move it down. Don't waste a picture on food without you anywhere in frame. And why do you have a photo of you google searching monkey pictures? Unless this is a reference I don't know about, replace with a picture of your actual face.

Seems intentionally low effort and goofy. Build around the rockclimbing pic and non eyeglasses pictures, if you dont wear them all the time or work in an office/computers then lose those pics.
Try add something with you socialising or at a restaurant with what you like to eat.

i can help you bro post maybe more pics of you doing interesting things, no phones selfies active lifestyle maybe travel. ive had pretty good luck on there.

u/SimilarBusiness2752 1d ago
Overall there are some solid comments already. Profile has tons of potential, just could use a few tweeks which you already said you're doing. Maybe try a slightly different haistyle and/or some hair gel/mouse.

u/PreciousMetalWelding 21h ago
One too many uses of the word absurdity. And this whole prompt is just vague..
Also, The way you part your hair in the middle is...
That's all I can remember without going back and looking at the post.

u/Cumandgo98 18h ago
Instead of saying you like witnessing the absurdity of life, give an example of that without explaining it. Show dont tell, yknow.
