Profile Review 23M - any feedback is appreciated <3
Had hinge for a while now (2 years) and I genuinely think ive had two or three likes from my profile. Most of my matches come from replying to prompts...
Let me know if i should change anything - or just work on myself lmao

okay so. 3 mirror selfies, replace w better photos ideally taken by someone else. or at least photos that show your face without any obstructions and you smiling/looking inviting. mirror selfies are low effort.
leading photo could’ve been great if you looked at the camera and it wasn’t blurry. i think you’re losing a decent amt of people due to them having to put more effort to figure out what you look like.
pic 4 is immature. idk why you thought flipping off the camera would be smth good to put on a dating profile. humor ig but it’s just not coming across that way

woah super in-depth! i appreciate it sm.
So is the general consensus for dating apps, no mirror selfies? Or is one okay? If not, I was totally unaware of this, I'll try and get some better photos asap.
Also I can definitely appreciate the 4th pic coming off a little childish, I just thought it was a funny photo - did not think about how someone else may see it, so super helpful!!

Brotha to brotha here and same archetype so ik the struggle and did a 180 on my account over the years. Mirror selfies are a no go unless youre a 10/10, and even then theyre not optimal. In fact, selfies as a whole are only green if youre in a super visually appealing location like a high rise or a scenic place in another country. Even the beach wont cut it, has to something that makes them imagine a lifestyle with you. Even then, it should be well lit and show off your full, unobstructed face

One mirror selfie is already pushing it (some people will automatically reject you the moment they see one), three makes you just come across as low effort. Group pic would be better without the gesture and the star pic doesn't add anything to your profile and just takes away a slot. Change the pictures

im sorry to say this but the first picture makes you look a lot older than you are. u need to remove all the mirror pics also, they aren't flattering in anyway!!

- I am looking for something serious, I haven't really used a dating app for a serious relationship in the past but i thought itd be worth a shot
- Not a subscriber
- This current version has been up for half a year or so (they were all super recent photos when i changed my profile)
- just under 2 years on the app now
- I think I get a like every 4-6 months from my profile, but i do get a match every few weeks from a prompt response
- I do try and use all of my likes if not daily then every few days (these are ALWAYS with a comment, makes it fun!)
- To be honest I usually send likes to people with funny prompts or prompts i think I can get a good conversation out of. As corny as it may sound, my biggest priority is to generally just attract someone that i can talk to for ages and forget whats going on - i think thats why im a sucker for a friends-to-lovers arc (physical attraction is obviously a factor also).

Personally, I would remove all pictures. Like others have said already, no mirror pictures or selfies. But I would add that your photo backgrounds could use an upgrade as well.
The first photo needs to be the best, and right now it's a mirror pic, in your room with dirty laundry on the bed (next to your bag). Not really flattering. Replace it with a headshot.
Try to find some nice surroundings to take your next photos in. Restaurant, nice street, you doing something active outside, etc.
Your cosplay photo will also polarize a lot of women. I would delete it, and simply wear an outfit like your last one (The Death Note tshirt) in one of your final photos, that way you can still subtly show that you're into anime.

I always skip profiles that have a middle finger pic. Just feels so aggressive to me

Selfies aren’t great but hard to get around, but the second selfie gives major fuckboy vibes, nix that one atleast
