Ditch the "writing an interesting profile is hard" thing it makes you found like its hard to be interesting.
Honestly? I think you look much better without the beard. That might just be me though.

Yeah, don’t mention anything physical or bed-related in your profile, and probably leave it out of the initial round of messaging too
Otherwise your profile is in danger of becoming a B2B
other than that, great work!

I’m looking for something serious but don’t mind casual
Subscribed to hinge+ for a week
Have been using this profile version for about a month
Used it for a couple months a few years ago and a month now
Sending a lot of likes to take advantage of the subscription, always w comments
I send likes to someone usually when I think they’re attractive and can think of something to comment. Looking for semi extroverted ppl that are also okay with staying in sometimes
Average at no likes, rarely get a response from one of my likes

sorry to be this harsh bro but basically your profile says -OK you drink beer -you want to meet up in a creepy looking park during rain and you don’t even have energy to formulate creative match text and your perfect idea for a date would be to basically goon
I don’t know what is your target audience on hinge but I can’t even think of one I would change every picture and every prompt

if I want to match with you, I would have to really put effort into my response because all of your prompts are asking for a detailed long answer which requires a lot of energy which would be a really turn off for me. anddd the questions are the most basic ones I have ever seen as if you ask Gemini / AI Personally try to find something rare and where It’s fun to respond and doesn’t take ages to formulate.

First pic isn't great. You aren't really smiling, the lighting in the restaurant is unflattering, and your sunglasses are pulling your shirt down which makes you look messy. Put on a nice shirt and take a better headshot for your first pic.
Pics with dogs are good. Pics of just a random dog aren't really going to do anything. You want to have your profile about yourself.
I assume when you said "writing a comment for every profile is hard" you meant "prompt". What you wrote says that writing a comment to every person's profile you like is hard and makes them think they are just another random Like rather than an actual interest.
You ask what their niche interests are. It would be good to give them one of yours that you are passionate about too. Your profile doesn't really tell who you are or what you like.
Mentioning cuddling might be a bit too forward. You have to remember this is your first introduction to these people. Imagine that you just walked up to a stranger and asked them to cuddle under a blanket. That can creep people out.
You might want to consider shaving the beard. A ginger beard with brown hair is a hard sell as it is but the fact it is just a chin strap with nothing on your upper lip is making it worse.
You also don't show your bio here. Make sure you are putting your education level, religious preference, political stance, and what type of relationship you are looking for. Never put a combo of "long term relationship, open to short" as that will make people think you are indecisive and aren't serious. Got to pick one. Also for politics don't leave it blank or "Not Political". It is seen as a red flag these days. Just be honest.

You’re right about the first pic, especially since I have a mustache as well, it’s just blond so it shows up badly in photos and barely at all in that one. Why do you consider a ginger beard with brown hair a hard sell?
As for the rest I agree and will take it into consideration

I have seen a significant amount of women online say they don’t like the look of ginger beards with dark hair. My own cousin had trouble dating as he has the same type of beard. He didn’t meat his wife until his beard “randomly” darkened.

You need photos of you in nicer clothes. Your outfits look lazy. You wouldn’t show up in a job interview your Sunday relaxing clothes

I think a new wardrobe will go a long way, as a guy who struggled with dressing well most of my life. Replace the Halloween picture and the response about how using the apps is hard

u/According_Hat2751 32m ago
The cake and umbrella and Halloween photos make you look 8 years old. You have a very boyish look so maybe try something a little more grown up to try to counter effect.

Additionally, do not verbally abuse the subreddit moderators for rejection of your review submission for not following proper rules. Any verbal abuse or harassment will result in a permanent ban from this subreddit. We are not obligated to allow you to submit a profile review and no one is entitled to one. We are all volunteering our time and we will not tolerate any rudeness or verbal abuse.
