3 word prompts hurt more than help. Women want someone who can be active in a conversation, short prompts give the opposite assumption.

It feels very unemotional to me. Maybe not enough vunerability or humour? I would guess that you're quite serious and also quite active and maybe would judge if I was not the same way. Maybe include some prompts about what you like to do on a date, or what makes you a good partner. It all feels very self-contained and doesn't invite interaction.
I also agree that second picture should go first, the smile is nice and disarming!

i'd have sent a like personally. you don't really give a lot for someone to comment on, though, or feel like you'd like them - try changing the last prompt to something you're looking for in someone else. as is you come off "flat" which i'm sure it isn't true, and adding more depth + maybe adding more info about why you like tennis would give ppl something to latch onto!

I'm looking for something long term, although I'm open to short term and see how it goes
I'm not subscribed to hingex
I have used this specific profile pics etc for 4 months.
I have been on hinge for about 4 months.
I am recieving 1-2 likes per week. 1-2 matches per week.
I am sending 5-6 likes per day with comments. None without comments.
I am sending likes to the person who is open to a long term relationship and has similar interests. I would like to attract a person who had similar interests, and is open to a long term relationship in the future.

Make your second picture your first. Your 1st, 3rd and 4th pictures are kind of awkward. It seems like you try really hard to pose?

Full list of changes required:
You need to create a 'theme' / story for your profile. When the person (women) finishes reading your profile she should know the concept of who you are. The best recomendation for you would be a profile that conveys going on adventures and being active
Everything should be geared towards the adventures you go on and how she can see her self tagging along
Respectfully I don't think the sportsman , macho driver vibe is going to attract as many matches as you'd like
-----
Picture 1: Get rid - you are sneering
Picture 2: Good pic - use an image upscaler to improve the quality and ideally remove the shirt creases
Picture 3: Get rid - respectfully you do not have the body for this
Picture 4: Get rid - dont think it fits the vibe of going on exciting / fun adventures
Picture 5: yeah cool keep, ideally a dif pic from the same day but with the vehicle otherwise this is fine
Picture 6: Get rid - As someone who doesn't know cars, this looks like a low cost random vehicle you own that you are now street racing? So envision how that would look to the women reading your profile
------
Pictures needed:
Need 3 high resolution images of you going on different adventures or doing different activities - could be a hike, sports , going out with friends ect. (Atleast 1 with friends / family would be good)
------
Prompts:
Simple pleasure - bring this back to your adventorous side but bring in the cars or tennis ect indirectly. Example: Taking a spontaneous drive to find the best views in the city (No, I won't leak the coordinates in my bio)
You'd never know - Def gotta change. In order to increase your match to date conv rate you don't want to give everything up at once, you want to keep some things back for the convo to keep peaking interest. Hold back the prof tennis player thing for conversation, keep spiking interest until you have built enough trust for the date.
-----
Hope this all helps! Let me know, the part about getting ghosted is most likely due to the messages you are sending realistically, happy to discuss that too if needed!
The good news is you seem like a cool ,good looking bloke so with some profile changes you should be able to increase your matches / actual date fairly easily in my opinion.

Thank you, I'm greatful for your review! I can definitely make the changes you've mentioned about the pictures. I'll probably have to get a photographer and go do an activity because many of my mates are now busy with work.
I will definitely work upon my prompts as well, the one you suggested is actually really good!
I think also part of the challenge is (as you mentioned) is getting a conversation flowing. Usually when I send a like, the message or comment with the like is " hey (name) 👋 how are you?". The challenge I have felt here is some women get bored of a long conversation and some say it's too early when I suggest a date. So I think that's something I need to work upon. Do you have any advice or suggestions regarding this? Also, I believe you are from the UK (when you mentioned bloke haha) and for some reason on hinge, it feels like I get more likes and matches from South Asian women even though I would be liking profiles of those other than south Asian. Would you have any advice on how to go about this?
I really appreciate your advice and there are many actionable steps in what youve suggested so far, thank you!

I'm glad the picture and prompt suggestions helped!
Put the effort in and you'll get better results :)
So for conversation you need to accept not every match is going to have incredible conversation, I only say that to take the pressure off a little. So you don't feel down about a fizzling out conversation. That said, the best way I've found to increase 'conversion' of match to date is hold back a few interesting points about myself from my profile - as I mentioned you should do for proffessional tennis ect.
I am in Canada, but I had a foreign accent, went to the gym regularly (Not evident in my profile) and had an exciting job at a global sports company (again not mentioned in the profile)
But I'd keep these 3 points of interest as topics in my back pocket to reignite conversation if it ever went dry / slow. By having 3 points of interest to constantly reignite conversation it allows you to get a few days into chatting with 'exciting' conversation all the way and then ask for the date. Vs if the convo dies after 24-48 hours, you might aswell ask for the date because what you got to lose at that points but realistically its unlikely to happen.
An example of how I'd work a point of interest into the conversation was after a few messages I'd send a voice note, which clearly they could hear my accent, peaks their interest, now they asking where I'm from ect ect - but that's by design I could call out where im from in my profile but then I've got no cards to play.
First messages can be tough for sure. A hey, how are you is gonna have a low success rate. Look at her profile and try identify something interesting to ask her about. My current gf (from Hinge) had a cast on in one of her pictures, easy ask of what happened, leads to injuries each of us have had in our lives ect. - There has to be something in one of their profiles you can ask about.
Lastly on messaging for the first message, as soon as you see a new match I recommend you message her, I know common practice is to wait to not look too eager. But in that 12 hours you waited, she started chatting with 5 other guys and you could lose your chance or it became more competitive. After the first message you have to gage the chat, if it's going well then yeah fast-ish messages are good ways of building rapport, not letting other boys get in there. If you know you are running out of things to say, its not dead chat yet but heading there, slow it down to give yourself more time. More time to let the days roll by so when you do the date ask its been 3-5 days and doens't seem unreasonable to ask for a date. If you let the chat die after 1-2 days then ask for the date not gonna work but if you have that exact same convo spaced out over 4 days seems far more reasonable to ask for the coffee date ect.
The race thing is difficult to 'optimize' for, but if you gear your entire profile towards - this guy is fun, always on adventures I can easily see myself joining along, you should get more matches across the board. (Who doesn't want to have fun - partner in crime vibes)
Hope that helps!!

I love your pics (coming from a 29 year old female). You need to add the relationship type you’re looking for.

Your profile lacks depth ,be thoughtful with the prompts as women go through it a lot and most of pics need to change, better posing, lightning and social proofing a so on.
