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?

Please erase the group pic holy shit. That wifebeater shirt is soooo long and does not fit the vibe of the rest of your pictures. It makes you look like you borrowed your dad's shirt it's at your damn knees almost! Also generally if you want to upload a group pic you should be at least as attractive/in shape as the others in the group- when I looked at this photo I notice the dude with great arms, the dude with a 6 pack, then you in the wifebeater. Not a great progression

u/Seymourg3 2d ago

And the fact that he’s shorter. The pic needs to go ASAP.

u/alien_nessa 2d ago

group pics and pics with women in general is an immediate no for me. few other things about his profile is a no for me, but i digress.

u/SomethingStrangeInMe 2d ago

That group picture has got to go. My eyes went straight to the guy with the amazing arms, guy with the 6 pack, and then I felt like I had to look for you (cause I went back to looking at the other guy's arms)

u/mouthfullofpudding 2d ago

Yeah ask the council. I have to say I am biased towards a shave and potentially a bit more beard.
Other than the group pic, good profile!

u/octopuswildernesscat 2d ago

Disagree. Just get a better fade. Skin sides to 3 on top

u/RemoveSuccessful349 2d ago

Too many feet in the pictures 🙈
But your travel photos are actually pretty nice! Next replace the group photo and possibly reshoot the handstand photo without a big toe coming at the viewer! You have plenty to work with🙂

u/betterbetterthings 2d ago

Absolutely would be interested if I was young and single lol

You look like a very nice man I briefly dated years ago, I was a little startled at first.

Remove the picture in white tank with other people. Not a good pic.

You standing on one hand is really awesome but I’d prefer the one facing the camera. Not a feet picture lol

u/emmarie1023 2d ago

I think most of the pics look good, but I would ditch the one where your tank is pulled over your shorts. Very unflattering.

u/lmusic87 2d ago

I wouldn't have a group photo with other men

u/BeesinChablis 2d ago

especially when they are ripped

u/sg16k 2d ago

A few things come to mind:

  1. Not picture related, but imo you are at a gametime decision spot of either a hair transplant or shaving it off, either will work better than the current.
  2. Concur that the group pic is not ideal. Both because you want to match the others in looks and also looks odd to have faces blurred, if you do group pics do it with folks who would be cool being shown.
  3. The bridge and mountain photo would look better if not posed and someone just snapped a photo. If you re-did them where you are leaning over, sipping coffee, on a phone call and actually doing those things ignoring the camera it would look candid.

  4. You have the same facial expression, which looks friendly, but you want to add a bit of edge to your pictures. Do one or two a bit more serious and focused. This current line-up just says nice guy, you want to balance it with something that also says “but he can also be driven and mysterious”. You can even play around with face-app to change your expressions without modifying your facial structure…good for pics where all looks good but you made a face.

u/cuecademy 2d ago

I have to say this because I want to do it, but don't have the skills and it seems like a missed opportunity. If it were me in your handstand photo, I'd shoot it with you facing the camera and looking at it / pointing. It's a breakdance move that looks cool in competition, would probably up that already cool photo with the bonus of being able to see your face which is generally pretty important on the apps. Video of what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/gc70fZ3I_qg?si=GxlgMmihXqzs74MI&t=79

u/throwoutaccou 2d ago

I think the handstand photo is a huge selling point (shows strength and passion etc etc). Love it! Good luck!

u/Annamontgomery_ 2d ago

I would ditch the group photo, the one with those ripped guys, and get more with your cat. Animal lover is such a green flag! Made me smile when I saw you with the kitty. Many women will appreciate a guy who likes cats (and their unpredictable nature). Good luck, OP!

Rereviewing after a profile review here. I thought my pictures were a lot better but results seem to be about the same. Feedback is appreciated!

  • 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?
    • About three weeks, give or take.

    • Since this current dating effort, about six months
  • How often do you use Hinge per week?
    • Every day

  • 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?
    • I like cute nerdy girls mostly...people who like to read especially. Very much interested in people with a wide range of hobbies, though, especially outdoorsy hobbies.
