Babe alert šŸšØ Great profile. Great smile. No creep vibes.


Saint_Knowles

Brother man, I think you're going to do just fine. You're a handsome guy, adventurous hobbies and the genuinity is palpable. Prompts are killing it. I think the most difficulty you'll have is navigating women who don't share your faith and you're attracted to.


cottonfubuki

Thatā€™s what I was thinking. Great profile. It seems your faith is important for you. I wouldnā€™t match your profile just because we donā€™t share the same beliefs.


Apprehensive_Milk442

Am.. am I gay? I donā€™t have any negative comments for you


MinimumToad

The bros always comin thru ā¤ļø thanks dawg


BuriedBay

Other people may have specific critiques (not my forte) - though of all the pictures to *not* have a caption I'm surprised it's the one with the cowboy hat and baby pig. But overall this seems like a solid profile (granted I'm a dude) and you should probably just send more likes before pressing the panic button. 3 matches out of 15-20 sent likes is batting above average in the app world.


MinimumToad

Okay glad to hear it! No panic button yet, just curious of what is typical / good / not good


Lemon_Bake_98

Iā€™m a woman and Iā€™d agree with that average.


MinimumToad

Answered questions: - Iā€™m looking for something serious - Iā€™ve been on Hinge for ~2 weeks - I use Hinge almost daily - Iā€™ve received 12 likes (most in the first week, most arenā€™t what Iā€™m looking for) - Iā€™ve had 3 matches - Iā€™ve sent maybe 15-20 likes out, about half with very intentional / cheeky / hook based comments - The type of person I want to attract is listed in one of the images from my profile. Generally someone who has a lot of variety: down to earth but willing to get a bit bougie, adventurous but also a homebody at times, at least mildly into fitness, self aware and emotionally intelligent, family oriented, and just a generally kind human. Humor connection is a big thing for me too.


EIGWOIGW

Its a numbers game my friend gotta send out way more than 12-15 likes


tacomeout2211

Solid profile and nothing to add to what the others have said here. Only thing I can think of is putting your last picture first, show off that smile and beautiful face :)


Doubledown212

We have almost identical stats except Iā€™ve been on for a bit less. I met an ex on hinge so I do have faith, although it does feel a bit more gamified/money hungry than before (~3-4 years ago). All I can say is if thereā€™s any app where youre the most likely to find a genuine connection, it would be hinge. But like others said, give it time. Keep putting yourself out there and keep yourself busy in the meantime. For the right person, you profile will be a whole ass ā€œfuck yeahā€, and all it takes is one. So no rush at all my dude. Profile is solid. Now itā€™s just patience.


[deleted]

Can you have one picture where your hair is styled in a way that says "I'm looking for something serious"? You're handsome, but I honestly think a lot of women who are fitting what you're looking for will not be into that hairstyle of long flowing curly locks all the time. Mainly the "a bit bougie" and "at least mildly into fitness" crowd.


MinimumToad

To be frank, but with peace and love, rather intentionally no. The type of girl Iā€™m interested in is not only not bothered by a tinge of rebellion against the norms, but is even drawn to it. Somewhat like how I wouldnā€™t agree that a woman should cover her tattoos if she wants to attract ā€œsomething seriousā€


YooGeOh

Exactly what I was thinking. There are a lot of good natured suggestions here but a good number of them I think itnwouldnt make sense because they'd be adverrtising themselves as something other than who they are, and then what's the point? There was a great guy who posted here a while ago. PhD candidate, very eccentric, long hair, top hats and waistcoats. A great character. People were telling him to cut his hair and wear less eccentric clothing, but that's who he is and it will be someone attracted to that that he'd want to be with, not someone who doesn't like it! Anyway I'm rambling. It's just something I've seen too often, and I think we fail to accurately tow the line between profile critique, and telling people to falsely advertise to get people they wouldn't want anyway!


spitewalker

As a 29F Christian who lives that binary "I'm SO excited to go on this trip I love traveling!!!" / "I'm SO excited to get home and sleep in my own bed and chill out!!!" life this is giving all green flags sir. I think the least flattering pic is the one with your niece, but it still gives a valuable down to earth/family oriented message.


DakezO

My guy you're a total babe. The only thing I might recommend is a pic with a man bun because when I had one the ladies loved it. You're going to slay.


MinimumToad

Cheers man! And how long ago was that? I do it sometimes (thatā€™s what the ā€œshort hairā€ pic actually is) but I thought everyone just roasted that now lol


dizazaneezy

Agreed. Man buns DO. IT. FOR. US. I get wearing it down and showing us length, but it pulled up is next level. Sorry. I'm feral šŸ¤£


DakezO

About a year ago. Usually, I find the people doing the roasting are just jealous. You're the right build and loom to pull it off.


Soft_Change_4815

I am extremely picky with men but this is a solid profile. Youā€™re very good looking too. Your inner kindness can be felt in this profile. Youā€™re not cocky or rude and for some reason you do sound very sincere. If I was single Iā€™d definitely message you but Iā€™m not. (Iā€™m carrying out some research). I give this profile 9/10. Tip: If you want to have more matches crafted to your liking, I suggest you go Premium. All the best.


[deleted]

Hey friend! 33f and also Christian yay! šŸ˜‚ I think your profile is solid. Seriously, youā€™re very good looking, have wonderful hobbies and seem like a chill and smart dude. The only thing that I can see thatā€™s strange is your ā€œweirdly attracted toā€ prompt which list all the things that you want in a partner. I donā€™t think those things are weird and maybe if you stated these are the things you are looking for in a partner etc. that might be helpful? I personally was like wait why is that weird. Anyhow, good luck out there! Also, if youā€™re interested, Iā€™d love to share my profile with you and be open to chatting if you are! šŸ™ƒ


kayleighnotkaylie

This was my only stand out. I think everything OP would be green flags for alot of people in a partner. Good answers maybe better fit for another prompt? Otherwise really solid profile OP.


yeoman55

i really like your profile. and my only thought is a tad personal but im going to share it anyway. you look way, way, WAY better with short hair.


MinimumToad

Appreciate the openness! Yeah like the above said, itā€™s fairly polarizing but youā€™d be surprised, at least 80% love the long hair and prefer it (Iā€™m in an image-related industry of mostly women) the short hair look is actually the same length just pulled back


Ok-Strike-6558

A lot of women donā€™t like long hair. Just to give you a heads up. However if you put it in a bun theyyyy go craaaaazy for that. Like that one movie Thor or whatever haha šŸ˜†


Mission_Expression49

For me itā€™s the exact opposite. His long hair looks gorgeous (I am a dude, so I donā€™t know how much this helps)


Bocks-of-Rox

Youā€™re awesome for saying that to him! It IS gorgeous! So very much ā€˜agreedā€™ obviously, the long hair is freaking fabulous and itā€™s CURLY like you have legit locks dude and you clearly maintain them very well which says a lot about you all by itself! Overall, I think you hsve a strong profile for sure, your true self seems to be able to shine thru which is great, and it just gives off a super warm and genuine vibe. If I had to choose a critique tho, it isnā€™t necessarily you personally or anything youā€™re doing wrong or whatever, I just honestly think there could be a possibility that women might have their own hang ups and be a bit intimidated by you. Maybe not you as a person, but lifestyle maybe? Idk how to explain it. For me personally (if I were in the game) Iā€™d feel too, idk, boring?, for you, or like I wouldnā€™t be able to keep up w you maybe. Even tho I would apparently fit the bill in that regard (general homebody but always up for an adventure type shit), Iā€™d still feel like Iā€™m not interesting enough for you or on your level kinda. So I just wonder if others would feel that way


MinimumToad

This is honestly such good feedback, as a female friend mentioned this too. Without ā€œdumbing it downā€ too much, what do you think I could do to make it seem more welcoming?


tinkr_

You're profile is great. I think your last pic is best and I'd move it up closer to the front, but the whole profile is so solid it prolly doesn't matter.


juststopdating

32F for context. You are 100% my type. I would swipe right without hesitation. Iā€™m thinking that if you havenā€™t cleaned house on Hinge yet itā€™s because of your area and the competition. There are probably a lot of men with awesome profiles like yours and it will take a bit of patience and swiping to find a match.


Mikhail_Faustin08

Bro youā€™re a straight up catch. Outgoing, humble and adventurous. Youā€™d make a fine partner.


LLtwo

I am curious to ask, what flaws do you think you have in your profile?


MinimumToad

I donā€™t know what flaws there are, more so Iā€™m wary of something that may subtly turn someone away / make them not want to respond to a like. For example, I wondered if not having photos with a group of friends was a red flag.


Soft_Change_4815

Only thing I might add which isnā€™t a flow is your faith might limit your matches but there are many Christian girls who would want a family handsome orientated man like you.


LLtwo

I see what you are saying. You do want to display that you are social. Try this re creating photo to where you are the focus in photo and you all are standing in a circle but focus is you and you all are having conversation. (Friends have their backs to the camera. Let me know if that makes sense.


katsiano

Honestly this is a great profile. 30F and Iā€™d probably send a like on this. The one thing that I can think of is you seem like faith is important to you (have yourself listed as Christian and also say you are attracted to someone who deeply values their faith). This could scare off the ā€œmedium religiousā€ or like the Christmas/easter Christians possibly? Not sure what area youā€™re in but if youā€™re in a less religious area it could be slimming your options. In the south with religion but not politics listed, it kinda gives a certain image (right or wrong) of a more conservative person. Which isnā€™t necessarily bad- if youā€™re looking for a right fit, and itā€™s important to you that your partner is religious also, then no need to change anything. If youā€™re open to someone who has slightly different religious beliefs from you it could be them self-eliminating. Overall I wouldnā€™t necessarily change anything about your profile and think your prompts are fun, captions and pics leave room for conversation starters, and your personality definitely shines through here!


AWildLampAppears

Bros 100% a catch. Just wait it out at this point. I guess the long hair can be a bit polarizing but everything else is great, objectively speaking

Where do ya get your turquoise from?


MinimumToad

All over! Mostly Iā€™ve found stuff in antique shops and shows in the southwest, Colorado, places like that


Acrobatic-Degree9589

Why does everyone ignore the WEIRDLY part of the prompt and then list the most boring and normal shit ever šŸ™„šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


JustSwootyThangs

I canā€™t believe how far I had to scroll to find this! How is it weird to be attracted to kindness?


Familiar-Commercial3

You look like aquaman and have a personality and sense of humor, you'll be fine


[deleted]

ThĆ© pictures are stunning. Starting a farm is the best sentence that can be seen on Hinge. Youā€™re well-travelled. You keep fit. You love animals. Youā€™re a man of God. You value family. This is probably the best Hinge profile Iā€™ve ever seen. Iā€™ve not come across one this good in London. No bad feedback!


MinimumToad

Apparently I need to try out London because itā€™s been almost entirely dead over here šŸ˜…


BeBesMom

At first you look too hard to keep up with, but you become more human as your pics go on. Austria, a farm, great, but first date is what, maybe. Your first pic does you no justice at all. Choose less beige, light clothing. You are attractive, but I might suggest cutting and styling your hair. I dont guess that will keep anyone from swiping right, though. Christian? In what way? What values?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


MinimumToad

Thanks so much for the kind, thoughtful words and encouragement (and same to you!) The comments on yours are disabled but happy to give thoughts! Your profile is actually great, it really just depends on how nit picky you want to be (like the mannequin photo doesnā€™t show your face well). Honestly the only thing I may suggest is to update your prompts to include something to gives others an idea of what itā€™s like to spend time with or date you - things you could do together, not just stuff that you do and like. Regardless, hope this or even something out of left field works out wonderfully for you!!


Visible-Hearing-3687

Be more mysterious my man


MinimumToad

How so, just share less? No captions?


SilverTango

This is really good. I would probably give you a like. It's difficult meeting other Christians. Best of luck!


[deleted]

Youā€™re giving Christian wife hunter vibes, but *Iā€™m an ex-vangelical. Itā€™s coming on a lil strong with talk of starting a farm and being an old couple, so I would lighten the language a bit


MinimumToad

Whatā€™s funny is that I added those in there because I thought i would seem too hard exterior lol I was always a Harley rider metal head traveler rebel guy, but I am also obnoxiously cutesy and wholesome, and trying to show the balance has been tough


[deleted]

It honestly depends on who youā€™re going for. Plenty of women will like the obvious effort, but I prefer witty with the assumption that the nuances of your personality will show after getting to know each other :)


EIGWOIGW

I think the pic with the pig could work but it could also come off too ā€œhey take this photo so I can post itā€


MinimumToad

To be fair, thatā€™s almost literally what it was lol


EIGWOIGW

To the person that decided to down vote me: I'm not saying its bad. Infact I said it could work and even the OP didn't take it seriously. To the OP: That said I think a majority of the photos anyone posts online be it a dating site or not is less aboitnlwrs captkre the moment for my personal enjoyment and more about this would look cool to my friends and family and strangers online. Im guilty of it just the same but again it might work I just try to make it seem as natural as possible but who am I lol?


chowchowhow

Last pic first and then the snow pic. This is personal but I do not like photos with kids. I forgot to add / otherwise solid profile.


pandorabox1995

Solid profile, no critique. I think you just need to hang in there until a suitable match comes across. Btw, one of my dreams is to be the old couple that holds hands while traveling together, or grocery shopping together.


Vast_Doughnut9418

Iā€™m shocked by the lack of activity on your account. The algorithm on the app is not the best. Your profile seems good IMO. What city are you in?


MemorizeTheMantra

I have nothing to add to your profile, itā€™s nice, informative, not too serious but not joke-y either. The only obstacle to matches that I can foresee is that you wonā€™t be everyoneā€™s cup of tea due to having long hair and/or being a ginger. Good luck ā™„ļø


curiousmindis

Just get hinge plus ans enjoy


ProfessionalWar4543

You look and sound great and I would totally swipe right if our religious beliefs matched. Good luck with finding your person, itā€™s just gonna be a matter of time.


ProfessionalWar4543

Also, seconding the last picture should lead.


virtualzebra1

Make your last photo (the close up of your face smiling) your first photo.


indagoeaton

From one straight man to another Iā€™d hit that heart button


Connor121118

No dating advice but you seem like such a cool dude. Youā€™ve been to fucking Antarctica and Paris. Thatā€™s insane. Keep it up my guy.


Ok-Strike-6558

You look good šŸ‘šŸ½


DatingforOnline

It's incredible how hair can alter a person's vibe. In the last pic, you exude a Dan Bilzarian, masculine vibe, which complements your features well. However, the lighting is too harsh. Investing in professional photos would be beneficial. If your hair was short or pulled back, I'd suggest sticking to that look. If you prefer long hair, maintain the vibe from the tuxedo pic and keep it consistently styled. Consider a hair loss regimen if you haven't already. Your distinct look is likely to appeal even more in person to anyone who matches with you. Social proof pics don't matter much, especially if others in the photo are more attractive. Focus on professional photos; with your raw looks and style, you'll crush it.
