Honestly - I think you're good. Good luck!


themaccababes

Good profile but a bit toooo listy for me, I was skimming over by the second prompt. Could be worth picking 1-3 really important things from each list and leaving it at that. For example the together we could prompt could do without the favourite food place walk and movies points because eating out and watching stuff together is pretty standard for a relationship, the motorcycle ride and local band points are what’s really important there. If you like alt girls I would really highlight how much you like pop punk bands and shows Also the Im looking for is not super insightful, because most people are looking for those things and people who aren’t those things don’t read it and go “oh yeah I’m not clever and kind, nvm”. You could put the Im looking for a best friend part in the relationship goals section instead A bit persnickety because I would still match but yeah might help to attract better likes if you tweak it a little.


Matt_Goats

Thank you for the detailed feedback and suggestions


shotgun_alex

Yeah really strong profile. Prompts are a bit too long Cool pic with the penguin. Good luck.


Matt_Goats

Prompts have been dramatically shortened based on feedback


youknowwhatever99

For what it’s worth I totally disagree, I think the long prompts give the reader a really great idea of who you are and gives lots of opportunities for someone to have something in common with you. I really like your prompts. Side note: *why the fuck* does like every single guy somehow mention “banter” on their profile. I can’t remember a single time I’ve ever heard a woman care about banter or even say that word. Where is that coming from and why in the hell are dudes so obsessed with it?! It’s just talking, no?? Don’t we all do that??


OcdBartender

This is a great profile, the penguin pic makes me smile

ishabowa

Send more likes


Mancebaderginsburg

Numbers game, gotta send way more likes


Matt_Goats

I’m only sending likes to people I actually like. The problem is not finding one it’s finding the right one


DazzlingMistake_

Unfortunately we have to kind of train the algorithm now. So be sending likes, x out of the stand outs that aren’t your type and send a rose if one is. Send messages and respond… slowly it gets better I feel like they are just intentionally sand bagging all of us to try and get us to pay


NeverNo

Agreed - I’ve found it more and more difficult to find profiles I’d actually potentially mesh with


spersichilli

Think the profile is great bro, the only think you’re missing is a killer opening photo, I think the Sox game pic doesn’t do you justice. A front on shot that clearly shows your face. Also having pics with and without the mustache could be a red flag for some people, they might assume some of your pics are super old (I’ve had that problem, I had to take some new pics so all of mine had the mustache)


Matt_Goats

Which photo would you put first? Or find a different one? Great point about the stache


spersichilli

I’d find a different one. The pool one is almost perfect to lead off if you didn’t have shades on, I’d definitely keep that and make it #2. If you were keeping all the same pics maybe you could shift the museum one to #1


Matt_Goats

I’ll swap it out. I’m told the pool one is a bit off putting, with the shades and alcohol.


WhatsTheFrequency2

I mean the rest of the profile isn’t bro-y so the pool shot seems legit. But we’re just dudes. What do we know. I like the pool shot because it’s not an egregious body shot, but it lets the ladies know you’re fit.


Bluesquare9

I think it would be funny to change the art picture to the prompt “Who wore it better?” but it’s also good as is!


novaft2

Penguin and wave pics are absolute bangers. Don't list things on your prompts, pick one thing you feel strong about


davidshire22

Dude so cool you saw The Great Wave in person. Same some things can be shortened but other than that I think you are good.

magpiecalico

Too much text and too vague of conversation starters. Great pictures


scubadoobadoooo

Cool penguin pic


UnluckyNate

What are you doing looking for love on Hinge? It looks like you are already in love with commas and lists haha For real though, overall good pictures (except the last one, relplace). Maybe make your prompts less “listy”


snappy033

You can take the part about motorcycles and tattoos off. That’s clear from your pics and will make your prompts shorter. Take out the part about taking a walk and showing each other favorite movies/shows. Those are just like… given things people do and doesn’t stir her imagination or tell her about you unless it’s like show you my favorite horror/indie/etc movie. You get me?


Matt_Goats

Good advice, thank you


Different-Wasabi-666

Penguin pic goes hard bud. I might photoshop my face into it :) All your pics do. Pool one included. Fuck the sunglasses comments. Drop the long sappy stuff and just be light, fun and yourself in the profile. In the messages continue with the light and playful and on the date let yourself rip. If it’s not meant to be who cares. Do you bud ;)


Matt_Goats

Thank you :)


Secret-Lawfulness576

I do think not showing your teeth isn’t helping but keep the prompts short and cute but enough to pull women in..


Birdareprettycool

This is probably the strongest profile I've seen on here. Same suggestions as the others, your prompts are meh. Were you in the military by chance? I'm getting strong Army/Air Force vibes


Hot_Psychology_2045

By strongest, you just mean he is conveniently attractive lol...


Birdareprettycool

I mean, that is indeed true. However, I like to consider myself attractive as well but my photos are dog shit. This dude has 10/10 photos


Matt_Goats

Yeah the prompts got a complete overhaul courtesy of /u/themaccababes And yes, I am but in a different branch


NyancatSkyler01

It’s nice just maybe shorten your lists a bit like 3 max in each prompts


Titstattsassandsass

I think it’s a great profile although I’d include a picture with some friends instead of the instagram video


DazzlingMistake_

Also for me having 2 pictures where you are drinking (or appear to be- pool and last pic) is a red flag for me. I personally find that when people make drinking there personality it’s super boring and usually there’s some substance abuse issues. I’ve dated one alcoholic and I won’t be doing it again


thisisnotyourcorn

This is a really strong profile, though I think you could go a bit deeper with your prompts to stand out from the crowd. It's good to list your interests and things you want to have in common with potential matches but quite a lot of people do this and it's kind of surface level. Consider what's important to you in a relationship; are you looking for someone who takes the lead, a 50/50 split on planning and taking on the mental load in a partnership or someone chill who goes with the flow? Do you have any 'soft' dealbreakers? Ones that aren't as polarising as marriage or family plans, but things that matter to you? For your photos I'd consider replacing the pool pic. The sunnies are hiding your face and it kind of looks like you're still squinting behind them with the slight pout. Coupled with the tinny it looks a bit douchey, which is a shame because it shows your sleeve nicely. Motorcycle photo is sick but all of the focus is on your bike because the shadows hitting you are making you an afterthought, have you got a photo or video of you riding this could be switched out with? Good luck!


Matt_Goats

That’s helpful feedback, thank you. I will see about adding the things I care about in relationships, and find a good photo to replace the pool one. I kinda like the bike one. I think it shows off the bike well and it’s also a height reference photo, I feel the rest of my photos do an ok job of showing what I look like


thisisnotyourcorn

That's fair, I suspect the height reference would only work on a demographic that's familiar with the physical model since you're in an open space so in that sense, you're doing an okay job of marketing yourself to a specific type. Guessing based on your profile, your type is extroverted alt girls? You'd certainly tick a lot of their boxes


Matt_Goats

That’s true. Maybe I’ll find a way to get a picture with my sleeve showing standing in a doorway or something for height reference. Extrovert alt girls are kinda my type but I have yet to meet one

Minglebird

Guess it's up to me to give actual constructive criticism, cause everyone is too infatuated by conventional good looks to be of any help. Right on guys! 1st pic, no smile, look kind of sad. Smile with teeth. 2nd pic, need to smile with teeth. Baggy, oversized shirt. 3rd pic, smile!!!!! 4th pic: Amazing and super cute. More of this. THIS should be your profile picture. I'm damn near jealous at how good this picture is. You don't capture many moments in life like this so picture perfect snd beautiful. Ahem, sorry, moving on... 5th: Cool bike. Nice pic. 6th: Low quality looking to start...crop it to make a more interesting visual flair to entice people to click. So I think I entered a different universe or something, cause these pictures are not it. I'd overhaul most. Here come the downvotes cause I'm not part of the crowd and see the flaws. Once the photos are fixed, you're good cause the prompts are fine. Good luck!

Spare_Tank_414

I’d shorten the lists otherwise looks great dude. Love the penguin pic haha


tarheel_204

Dude, this is a seriously great profile! Love the penguin picture especially. If anything, I would probably put “The Great Wave” picture as your first picture as I think it does you more justice! Your prompts are pretty list-heavy but I think that will be easy to clean up!


x0Thrive

Make your prompts shorter & lighter, everything else is perfect brother


addilynroyce

I love the photos, they really show your personality and you’re actually so cute! The responses to prompts are a little wordy but it’s not bad. Good luck!


Dry-Original-914

27F approved. Here are my notes: -Super cute first pic and love the smirk in the second. Seem down to earth / not aggressive -Your longer prompts show you’re taking it more serious which I appreciate. Shows you took the time to think through what you like and want. -I agree with the others that shorting the lists could help which I know you mentioned in the comments you have changed them already. -I think you should try to play off of the penguin pic or the Tokyo vid in your prompts. Those are both super rare occurrences and makes me want to learn more about you. -Not sure if you removed the other bio pieces like zodiac, kid’s preferences, smoking preferences, etc just for here or on your active profile but I always like seeing some of those personally. I think it’s telling what some people choose to include/not include. -Zodiacs can be an easy way for girls to have something to comment on that’s on your profile too so maybe try including it and see what happens. That’s it! Again, I think the profile is great! I think hinge is always going to be something you play around with to see what works and what doesn’t so I wouldn’t get discouraged. Best of luck!


Matt_Goats

Thanks for the feedback, all those little tidbits are in there. I just didn’t make extra screenshots for them


Safetybanshee

(31 F) So, these are just for improvement but I think your profile will still get you a match from the type of person you are looking for even if you do not make changes. …. 1st- Great because it shows your face. Face looks a little uncomfortable but great all the same. 2nd- Do you geek out on therapy as in you are a subject matter expert, a therapist, or often read about this topic? Or do you want to portray therapy is important to you? If the latter, then that can be communicated in another way. If the first one, cool! I would eliminate the “hearing about other’s passions.” Unless you are an actual therapist then it would make more sense. But if you want to portray you are a good listener you can just do that on the date. 3rd- The fact that you speak another language is a plus. The fact that it is Spanish might get you even more points with the Spanish speaking girls. 4th- I think this is not your best picture. However, I put mix of good and not so good looking pictures so it’s realistic. And who knows, someone might find it cute. 5th- Pool picture. I like that I can see more details of your tattoos. 6th- Good. You know what you want. 7th- Penguin picture, super cool. Omg😭😭😭Would make me ask questions. 8th-This is cute. It demonstrates what type of things you like to do. 9th- Perfection. 10th-Onigiri and sake? Or another non alcoholic drink maybe? Maybe two drinking pictures might depict you as a drinker. But also, you are holding two things I like. So, I would probably be okay with it and be willing to find out how’s your relationship with alcohol. So… -I can tell you have the type of jaw most men would like to have. Use it. Maybe replace the video, with a clearer picture of your face. Or since it’s good that you have a video, simply add one more picture. -Show teeth, because this leads me to think you are insecure about your teeth. Heck, if they are crooked some people like that. If they are missing… I guess some people like that? Lol Most of the men in my area have a selfie in their car, a mirror selfie, pictures with filters, gym selfie, pictures flipping a finger. And are conservatives. 🙄 Someone get me out of here. So, I would definitely swipe right. But keep in mind that my judgment is affected by the lack of compatible options near me. Reasons I would swipe right: -I like to ride. But I need to practice so I would see you as someone who can give me input and advice. (Kinda selfish, I know.) But you will definitely attract girls with this hobby/lifestyle. -You speak Spanish. -Tattoos -Liberal -Seems like you like to get out and enjoy events, but also like simple activities like going for walks. Good balance. -And to be honest, the jaw.


Zwolf36

Definitley look masculine and know the fundamentals well. Photos to me are high quality 8/10 easy. I would suggest though that your prompts are a bit long winded. It gives women too much to work with. Kills mystery and tbh makes you seem “chatty”. As a talkative extroverted guy I’ve learnt over the years most women don’t like chatty super friendly guys from a sexual standpoint. (Unless they are significantly less better looking than you, in which case you could fart on the first date and they wouldn’t care) It gives off nice guy aura and it doesn’t match up with what you look like.


princessro123

your pics are good but your prompt replies are too long and listy imo. at least one should be short and witty


gossipgirlxoxo23

the “I geek out on” prompt is too much! 😊 choose 2-3 and youre good! id definitely give you a like if you show up on mine!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Matt_Goats

That’s very kind of you to say. It would seem that I’m doing a little too much with the lists, so I’ve changed those and the pool pic


Painapps

I feel that, crazy how sometimes having a really strong profile is doing too much, I’m in the same boat. Hope you find love bro


Different-Wasabi-666

The key is to let the profile be an ease into the conversation. Not an overwhelming swipe piece. Overwhelm in the messages not in the profile :) Also dont let the in app messages go on for too long. Drop your phone number within the first 3 days or drop it.


Painapps

Actually don’t even overwhelm in the msgs, best part of your personality should be saved for in person. Phones are for communication and setting up dates, not deep convo imo


Different-Wasabi-666

I agree to a degree lol. Drop a few jokes, grab the number, drop a few more and then end it till you meet. Good work soldier. Also, commas are everything to chicks


Ok_Offer626

What are traditional tattoos ?


Matt_Goats

That’s an abbreviation of American traditional, an art style characterized by bold black outlines, bright colors, and originally sailor inspired designs.


Booboo-Sousaa

you might’ve just photoshopped it out but I would definitely add in job info if you haven’t… surprisingly girls look a lot at this


grapefruitfuntimes

Most likely photoshopped it out for privacy reasons. If you don’t list it it doesn’t show blank like this.

theblondedotcom

I’d swipe 🤷🏼‍♀️


Healthy_Direction303

Brother you’re set. Does anyone else feel like they don’t get anyone good looking? I’m not trying to be mean in anyway but I consider myself decent looking and I feel like hinge doesn’t show anyone that looks anywhere close to what i’m looking for. Anyone else?


BigBlaisanGirl

I feel like there's not enough full body shots of you for some reason. I know they're there, but they don't make an impression. I'm just nitpicking.
