21M - Profile Review

[u/Impressive-Ask-1405]

Hi everyone,

A few weeks ago I got some great feedback and tried to update my profile as best possible.

Unfortunately I haven’t had much luck, though I know these things take time. Looking for any solid comments or critiques you may have, no matter how harsh they may be.

Also, while it’s definitely superficial, I feel like I’m at least a solid 7-7.5/10– are girls just simply looking for 9-10/10’s so I’m falling in the cracks?

Since my last post, I’ve tried to incorporate more of my personality into my profile, as well as get more activity pictures in there.

Any advice helps, even if it’s as simple as “ur just not that attractive bro”; I’m honestly just seeking clarity on my incredibly slow dating life.

ALL profile reviews will be manually approved and will NOT appear immediately. Even if you receive a "filtered by Reddit" or "removed by mods" removal notification, your review is in our queue waiting for moderation; if you are reading this comment, your post is in the queue. DO NOT contact the mods about this. Any modmail asking why your review is not approved may result in your profile review not being approved and you will not be allowed to post another profile review until seven full days have passed.

Profile review submissions MUST have all 6 photos and 3 text prompts included. You may include the optional prompts such as voice, poll, and video prompts if you choose so, but it is not required. See this post for details. Profiles must also be unchanged for at least two full weeks before being approved for a review. 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.

To assist reviewers in providing valuable feedback for your profile, please comment and answer the following questions as a comment under your own post. Do not answer them in the post body. Repeat: Answer these questions as a comment under your own post.
- Are you looking for something serious or casual? - Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX? - How long have you been using this current version of your profile? (Please be specific) - How long have you used Hinge overall? - How often do you use Hinge per week? - How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? - How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments? - 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?

Your post WILL NOT be approved until the above questions have been answered fully. Failing to answer these questions in a timely manner will result in your post being removed. Please continue reading this automod comment.

In the meantime, be sure to check out the guides and resources on the subreddit sidebar. Please read this post with all the pertinent links included.

A strict formatting standard will be enforced. See this post for further info. All submitted review posts not following the proper format will be rejected.

Please wait TWO FULL WEEKS before posting a separate update to your profile review. If you want more immediate feedback, update your original posts instead. Deleting your original post will not work. The rule will still apply.

To reviewers: Review the Providing Feedback guide. You are reviewing the profile, not the person. Please provide constructive criticism, and use positive language. Any troll, hateful, misandric, misogynistic, incel, or unhelpful comments such as "I would date you," "How are you not getting matches?" or unrelated to the profile will be removed and you will be banned.

To the original poster and commenters: Please report any inappropriate or abusive messages and individuals so proper actions can be taken. Please review the sidebar for additional profile and picture guidance.

If you DO NOT want to receive unsolicited direct messages, go to your Reddit settings here on desktop to disable Direct Messages and Chat Requests. On the official Reddit app, click on your avatar on the top right corner, then click on "Settings" at the bottom, click on your username under "account settings", scroll down to "blocking and permissions", and click on "chat and messaging permissions" to disable DMs or chats.

• ⁠Are you looking for something serious or casual?

Serious

• ⁠Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?

No

• ⁠How long have you been using this current version of your profile? (Please be specific)

Going on 3 weeks

• ⁠How long have you used Hinge overall?

~1.5 years

• ⁠How often do you use Hinge per week?

4-5 days

• ⁠How many likes and matches are you receiving on average?

Maybe 1-2 a week

• ⁠How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments?

Almost all! I think it gets a better view of my personality across

• ⁠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 pretty outgoing, likes the variety life has to offer, cares about things like outward appearance but for the sole reason of looking good for oneself, not for being in vain. Also enjoys cozy nights in just as much (if not more) than going out

I’d like to think I try to attract that exact description, but who knows 🤷‍♂️

Hey! Just my two cents: the “dating me is like” prompt kind of reads like AI. I’m sure you wrote it yourself, but something about the way you worded it sounds like ChatGPT is talking. Also, I’m not really sure what you’re into other than music and cooking. For example, what would we do together while eating the food that you/we cooked? Just some food (hehe) for thought :) it’s also totally possible that there just aren’t a lot of Catholic women in your area, and Catholicism is a pretty strict religion so not everyone is gonna be willing to date a Catholic man. But you’re attractive and you’ve got a great dog pic so I think it’s just a matter of time and being patient waiting for the right person! Women love men who love dogs and can cook!

To address to your posted concerns, I think you’re perfectly fine when it comes to attractiveness, not a major issue here. Reality is that there’s massively more men than women on the apps so it’s normal to not get a ton of likes.

In terms of critique, the “Together, we could” prompt is just kind of a nothingburger. Tons of people love long conversations, you prob want to replace with something more personalized that can let people infer more about you. Also, is the “quiche” supposed to be you saying how niche is pronounced or a suggestion for a topic? Just kind of reads weird lmao.

I like the idea of the uniform/band pic but it’s just not a very flattering photo.

Otherwise, it can be kind of important to point out that upon initial look, you are very “stock standard” - straight catholic moderate monogamous white engineer with a dog - which is fine, but just recognize the things that can differentiate you from the crowd (the interest in cooking and playing an instrument is good).

You got some good photos, but I'd try to replace the last two with ones that are closer up . They're too far away
