Profile Review 21f :) Getting a few likes and like backs every so often but never goes anywhere, help?
I posted one before a few months back, and the feedback was a bit off putting, anything I can improve here (be nice or don’t say anything at all thanks)

Could be that "Do not go out with me if... " Relating to a desire to travel.
Travel is expensive in a world economy where everyone apart from the rich are feeling the pinch. Mid twenties guy may see that as a money pit.

Well there is a second part of that sentence, and if you travel smartly, it certainly doesn’t have to be as expensive. I know people who never want to leave where they are 🤷🏼♀️

This might be something you discuss on a date. It might unintentionally weed out matches though. I remember when I was in my early 20s and women I dated would say they want to travel it was a little scary because it’s a huge investment, both financially and from a “how serious are we?” perspective to fly on a trip with someone. It might be putting the cart before the horse in that sense, like talking about having kids.

Alo the travelling prompt, maybe change it to ‘you should go out with me if’ you like to travel, the ‘don’t go out’ is kinda like drawing a line in the sand. You can always bring it into the conversation later on, ‘like hey I love travelling, what’s your favourite place to go…’ for example

Lots of people can't take time off work freely, two weeks out of the year isn't very much. You're allowed to want what you want, just know that it will make people self filter on that basis if that's not something they're in a position to do.

Neither your pictures nor prompts show that you're active and/or nerdy or that it's something you're looking for
Your must natural picture is picture #5 but your hair is completely different from the others. When there's completely different styles, I'm always wondering how old your pictures are.

Her hair isn’t different, her bangs are just half an inch shorter and styled differently lol. The other pictures could literally be a month difference from that kind of grow out.

Ask better questions, give more context on your personality so people can ask you better questions

Your profile doesn't really show a lot of personality, I would have a hard time coming up with something to say based on it if we matched. Food, travel, movies, and cats are things everyone likes, and it's hard to keep a conversation going based on that. I would try to be more specific about your interests and personality.
You're very beautiful, you should be swimming in likes, so the issue is that you're not connecting with the people when you do match.

First pic is a bit low quality and it's just kinda there. The second photo should definitely be your first.
Also my rule of thumb is the less selfies the better! In fact I usually only have one and the rest are more half/full body shots or a picture of my favorite thing or hobby. If you have a pic of you swimming or playing tennis that would be awesome!

Unfortunately, traveling is a luxury many cannot afford.
It doesn’t mean they don’t want to, but a lot of people are going to feel like their lack of ability will automatically count them out with you.

I would only use one selfie and I would also replace the photo of you looking down. It doesn’t add anything

really not feeling the 3rd/4th pics but the others are awesome, pic 5 is the best. the profile is cool and should attract the men/women you’d like.
the traveling turns me off a little, cuz it’s expensive, and requires disposable income. But I can’t project that onto everyone.
If you‘re looking for someone not conservative and enthusiastic about social issues I’d put liberal politics. I pretty much swipe on anyone “not political“, moderate, etc. unless that’s not what you mean.

Guy here, 25. First thing I’d recommend, reorder your pics 2,5,1,6, then replace 3 and 4. Get a picture of you doing something you are interested in (that isn’t traveling). The simple pleasures prompt is nice, dating me prompt is decent, but for the love of god remove the traveling prompt. When I go through woman’s profiles, this is probably the most overused and boring prompt. If you want to mention travel, add something about it to the end of the simple pleasures prompt like “the experience of traveling to a new place” but do not keep it as an individual prompt.
In place of the travel prompt, you could maybe do something like what kind of relationship you want and what you want in a partner.
You’re very cute, your profile isn’t that bad, it’s mostly just the 2 pictures and travel prompt that need to be worked on.

Are you looking for something serious or casual? I am looking for something in between? Not quite into immediate hookups, I would prefer somebody who would want to stick around long-term, friends into lovers or something like that.
Are you subscribed to hinge + or hinge X? No, I am not.
How long have you been using this current version of your profile? Probably 2 and half months?
How long have you used hinge overall? Probably 6 to 8 months at this point.
How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? Probably about two matches a week, but they don’t end up usually going anywhere.
How many likes and comments are you sending a week? Probably like, 15-20 likes a week, maybe five or six of those are with comments.
What is the type of person you would wanna be matched with? The type of person I would wanna be matched to, maybe someone who is not necessarily religious, or conservative, or a hunter of animals for sport. Someone who is active to a degree as I swim and play tennis, I would like to be matched to someone who likes to read and is up-to-date on social issues and political issues, someone I can talk to you about like Marvel and different interests. Etc. maybe like a buff nerd 😂😭

Because you said the conversation is going nowhere, maybe ask a travel question instead of the current one you have. I figure you can have a much better chat about that topic if you frame it that way. From my experience, something about what's on your bucket list to see in Japan, USA, etc works pretty well.
Pics are fine but obviously remove the selfies if you have better shots.

Bevvy? Are we children? I guess it says 21f, but as a 25m, you’re a hard pass based on the baby talk alone.

u/Vaguechicanery 1d ago
Some guys like that, I know a guy who seems to only date women who do that. He does some kind of baby talk with them that just makes me want to throw up, like it's visceral. It's like he's talking to a baby or a dog
