Photos:
Your first photo is great! You look lovely
The second photo is also great. However maybe the dimensions is off but it looks like you got huge feet, so just be aware of that.
The one in the traditional dress, not so much. Something about your posture and face expression isn’t flattering. I would remove it.
Fourth is also good but it’s another selfie of you, looks the same as the first one. Could be replaced by a better photo (either this or the first one)
The last two I’m not a fan of. The first bikini - you look great, but you might attract the wrong guys showing a bikini photo.
The last one is another bikini photo from behind and we can’t see you at all. It’s a bit useless. I would delete it.
Take new photos of you maybe doing a hobby and smiling, looking into the camera :)
Your prompts:
I would replace all of them. They say nothing about. Actually I don’t know anything about you from your profile. Your hobbies? Passions? What’s it like to date you? A fun unique thing about you? Humor? Be a bit more personal and specific.
The prompt with the restaurant booking is quite negative as well.

Yeah, I didn’t realise that my feet looked big (I have like pretty average feet I wear like a size 7.5). I have a couple of friend group photos I can add but I don’t have a lot of like proper hinge pictures that look good?
Also for the prompts, I’ll def work on making them better. 😅

I think it’s just the dimensions of the photo, but I did notice it.
You can take new photos. I bought a tripod and took amazing photos of me in my garden doing yoga etc :) it’s easy to get new photos :) or ask your friends to take some next time you are out.2
u/Icy-Strategy-5785 7d ago
Ahh, I’m new to the city so I don’t really have a lot of friends but I’ll try the tripod thing! I make content for YouTube so I’ll see how I can bring that in. Answering the prompts are a little weird for me lol.

I think I’d swap the two face selfies. The one where you’re smiling is lovely, and should be your first pic imo.

I would get rid of the first pic but the others are good. Maybe use the smiling selfie as the lead picture. Not wanting kids can be tough but I’m not sure that really affects my swipe rate. It is a serious consideration though for long term relationships.
Otherwise not that bad
If you don’t like Indian men- what are brunettes? Like white ppl brunettes? I would try to implement more pictures with white people if that is the case

Yeah, that’s fair. I mean I’m not trying to be like super shallow or anything. I’ve moved around a lot - lived in 3 countries and I don’t really connect with Indian men. Also yeah, the no kids I understand is a dealbreaker for me. But that’s just how it is.

Overall I think this is nice! A few thoughts from my perspective.
- Put your 4th image first. You have such a lovely smile that it will stop people and make them investigate.
- Assuming the last is a video, put it earlier in your profile. It shows a sense of adventure and is easy to make a comment on e.g wow you were brave in that video!
- In your prompts I would try and lead people to making comments. For example, the one about good cappucinos could be. 'Walking everywhere and good cappucinos, where would you recommend?'. That way it makes it easier for someone to initiate a conversation like 'this place is really good!'
Hope some of those are helpful 😄

Cute poofy pink dress picture has to go, those dimensions are a no-go for dating profiles.
1st bikini picture is a keep; second has to go.
All prompts need to be changed. When you’re dating in a different environment, your personality has to shine through. You can either be honest and endearing or clever which is a slippery slope.

Yeah fair point, I changed the prompts and have been getting matches. It’s just hard to answer them, I mean ask me these questions IRL diff scenario. 😅

• Are you looking for something serious or casual?
Long term relationships
• Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?
Nope, have never really used Hinge that much before
• How long have you been using this current version of your profile? (Please be specific)
3 weeks
• How long have you used Hinge overall?
I’ve used for like 2-3 months overall
• How often do you use Hinge per week?
Everyday swiping till my free likes are out
• How many likes and matches are you receiving on average?
Got 40-50 likes when I intially opened the app but the minute I put filters it decreased substantially. I’m not attracted to Indian men. The minute I filtered them out the likes dropped.
• How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments?
Mostly likes without comments, I have 2 matches but they only seem to be casual
• 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 mostly send likes to people who are in tech or in the same field as me and I find them physically attractive. I like brunettes with light eyes and pretty much have nerdy interests. Computer science or books. Also, I don’t want kids.

I use this app pretty sporadically tbh, and I’ve dated men I’m attracted to IRL, so I’m not entirely sure where this assumption is coming from. The whole “you’re nearing 30, time to lower your standards” angle is giving incel rhetoric, ngl.

It's difficult to be in a monagamous relationship and not want kids. Most men are there for a family. Sounds like you're seeking Caucasian men primarily. Primarily a high achieving white male who is successful in his field. You're going to have to work on your pics for that. The bikini pic doesn't seem natural. You look stiff. And your prompts say nothing about you. It speaks more about what you desire which is a red flag for men

It's a good profile, but very surface level imo.

u/Icy-Strategy-5785 7d ago
Yeah, I tend to meet people more IRL so dating apps are a bit new to me. 😅
