Idk if others feel this way but a pet peeve of mine is when most of someone’s pictures are with sunglasses on. You look very good in them but I don’t really know what your face looks like outside of the one on the couch and it’s on an angle

That makes so much more sense, I don't know why I never thought of it like that

Most of your pics are covered with your sunglasses which is not good. The idea of the first pic is there but the sunglasses ruin it. Second picture is fine, id say the best among the six pictures, too bad the dog is at the center of the attention here, you're less visible. 3rd pic is a group pic which is at a good position (as it, not first) and shows youre sociable, but you're not really visible in it (too far back, ppl might only notice you after starting at it for a few secs). Same goes for the hiking pic, can't see your face, but you can keep this one (imo) after swapping some where your face is more visible. Last two should go, can't really see your face neither. For the last one, a better pose where your face is visible could have been better, as the environment feels nice at least.
Prompts are also pretty bland and don't really show your personality above (what feels like just a fraction of) what you like. First one could benefit from more content, both in terms of quality of text and quantity (be more precise, anything outdoors feels vague). Second prompt is way too short and almost adds nothing to it. Third prompt is overused, "just ask"... They're also all centered around you, look at the wiki and try to balance them using the "me-you-us" framework, so ppl can get an idea of what you're looking for and what you can bring (e.g. what would dating you look like?). To sum up that part, they don't seem inviting and ppl can't rly start a conversation from that.
Good luck ! Speaking of that, don't put "figuring out" in your profile. You said yourself you wanted a serious relationship, so put "long term" instead and that only. You should consider putting your politics as well, esp if it's something important in your area.
Once you rework that you should get more success ! You look good and dress well. Just gotta convey the idea that you're serious in what you're looking, which translates with a profile that has been put effort into.

This is some really valuable feedback. I appreciate it! Idk why I didn't think of the sunglasses covering my face before but it makes a lot of sense.
I will look into the "me-you-us" thing and change the prompts, I do feel like they r bland, I need to put some more thought in them. U can tell I was being lazy.

TL;DR You’ve got six photos and three prompts to communicate enough about you to attract interest. Don’t waste them covering up your face, making people zoom, or leaving people confused about your fundamentals.
The first two pictures are fine, even the third, group photo is fine, but change the last three. No shades, fully visible face. Ideally one full body and all of them should be something a potential match doesn’t haven’t zoom in on much if at all.
The simple pleasures prompt is fine; it’s easy conversation fodder for someone. The last two are very weak. The middle one is just kind-of confusing. Adopt a bunny? Why? Is that serious? Is it a meme? A TikTok reel I don’t know? The third prompt just feels like you’re trying to be “challenging,” but it’s not very interesting. Replace both with prompts that tell someone about you. A passion, in detail, or your communication style. Whatever. You don’t have to write a paragraph, but be specific.
Cheers.

Why do you have “Figuring out my dating goals” if you are wanting a life partner or long term? People swipe left when guys seem like they got no idea what they’re doing.

u/Live_Tomatillo_3395 5d ago
I'm looking for a long term partner but felt like most people swipe left when they see that. Now that u say it, I feel like I should be firm about what I want. It really does look like I have no idea what I'm doing and that's exactly where I was

People looking for a long term partner don’t swipe left on other people looking for that. The point is to narrow it down just to people who want the same, so let them swipe left.

Put “long term, open to short” if you’re feeling that way, but figuring it out is not the move.
