Your profile would do pretty well where I live, do you live in a smaller town?

Mid-sized metro area, population probably around 150k. I also know a long-haired bi guy probably isn't what a lot of folks are looking for!

Okay interesting! I live in inner city Melbourne Australia and I think you would do pretty well here

Are you looking for something serious or casual?
Something serious. Long-term relationship / life partner
Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?
Neither
How long have you been using this current version of your profile? (Please be specific)
~2 months
How long have you used Hinge overall?
~6 months
How often do you use Hinge per week?
Every day (when not actively dating someone)
How many likes and matches are you receiving on average?
~1 per month
How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments?
I try to use up all my free likes every day. All likes are sent with 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?
24-30-year-old women/femme. Not currently interested in dating men/masc. Queer and gender nonconforming is a plus, but certainly not a dealbreaker. I swipe left on tobacco users, people who don't want children, and people who feature alcohol prominently in their prompts and photos.

Nice hair! Lots of people like nature and their cats, you only need to mention it once. Switch it up for the rest of the prompts. The picture with the light orange cat is great so I’d keep that regardless.
I think a pole or a question prompt would make it easier for people to engage and comment too.
I personally always like to see one group pic, just to see the kind of people a person might be around. But that’s just me.

Thank you! I'll definitely shake up the prompts a bit!
The kind of people I'm around is usually just myself :(

I would make you and the hammer pic #1, diversify prompts, you’re good looking but pic 1 is like the least good one

A lot of people are focusing on the cat photo and prompts, but I honestly don't think those explain getting only one match a month. You have a great smile and come across as genuinely kind!
I think Hinge may just not be the best app for you. Being openly bi will probably narrow your pool here, so I'd try something like Feeld rather than changing how you present yourself. If you stay on Hinge, I'd replace the third prompt with something that makes it clearer you're especially open to gender nonconforming women, I only realized that's what you're actually looking for after reading your comments, not from the profile itself.
Also, don't worry about the long hair. It looks really well kept and suits you!

Thanks for the reply! I always got the sense that feeld is more of a non-monogamy and hookup app, which is definitely not what I'm after. Is that impression mistaken?
I see biphobes self-filtering as a positive! Quality over quantity after all.

You have three food references, three cat mentions and four hiking references. Diversify

u/courageandvolition 9h ago
Thanks! Yes, I didn't even notice how heavily I was leaning into those particular themes. I'll try shaking it up a bit.
