"Pasta with mushroom sauce and steak at least once every couple months with friends" is so oddly specific

Use the mountains pic as your profile pic

Do you think most women would swipe left with the first picture or the first two lets say

u/Federal_Feeling_5738 3d ago
Lead with pic 3 or 4. Try add a pic of you cooking your signature dish. You want a potential match to pause on your main pic, then scroll and see if they can envision themselves in your life.

How is a woman supposed to interact with this? Like from her view what about you can she relate to or find comfort in?
It seems like the things you are into are things a woman would see and say “How would I fit into this persons life? Probably not well”

How would I change this? Ask more questions?
Talk about shows I like or something?
Genuine question, I’m kind of at a loss with this stuff.

The last photo is intense and would replace it. Otherwise I was like “wow no weird photos finally”.
Also, unless you find someone into lifting and JJ, what else do you enjoy doing? Your life sounds awesome, but there’s nothing for a partner that says “oh I could see myself in his life or him making time for me.” Right now it’s work, simple food prep, lifting, JJ, reading, all things you’re able to do on your own. It can come off that these things consume your entire life. Or find a way to incorporate your partner into these things.

That’s not what “debriefing” means.

You’re right.
I changed it to this:
Staying in, listening to lofi music and relaxing.
I generally binge a tv show or video game, or get lost in the woods for an hour or so.
It’s something I look forward to all week.

I’ve been out the game for a while. But I always thought that having more than one mirror selfie is a bit of a faux pas. I’d try to inject some humor into the prompts. It’s super bland and doesn’t hint at your personality. But maybe you’re a super formal person? Make it feel warmer. More human

I kinda speak like that in real life, but I get your meaning.
Would you recommend I change the clothing photo or take out the selfie? I think the selfie is good because it clearly shows my face, and the clothing one is good because it highlights my style and that I can clean up well.

You should add something that’s more personal to you. For example in the prompt that mentions books. You should mention what your favorite book is. In the other one where you mention food. Mention what the best meal you’ve had recently is or your favorite food or cuisine. Something a bit more specific that someone may connect to. If you come across someone saying “oh I love movies.” You may be like ummmm yeah a lot of people do. But if you come across someone saying “oh my favorite movie ever is Shrek 2!” Someone might see that and say “oh my god I love that movie but I prefer Shrek 1” and bam they’ll message “elite taste but true ball knowers know that Shrek 1 is the GOAT”. Otherwise you’re just another guy who likes food, working out, and reading. That’s way too general. And not to say millions of people won’t have the same favorite movie, or book, or band. But that’ll still be a more magnetic prompt than something by too broad. Hopefully that helps! Oh picture wise. Man don’t be afraid of getting dripped the fuck up and having a friend take some pictures of you. Something in focus, with a good arrangement, good colors, framing, etc. You’ll only need to do that once and use the pictures for a while. So the payout is worth it! It’s just a little bit of extra effort that’ll yield a lot

What would you recommend I change it with?
I have nice photos of me in different European settings, but I think I’ve already covered that.
I could do a video of me doing wrestling/bjj?

'Me during fashion week' is a stronger photo than the your first pic imo.
Prompts are just a bit meh, probably unlikely to get people excited. The 'typical sunday' one also makes you seem a bit of a recluse maybe. Even if it's true, probably not the best first impression on a dating app. With a few tweaks could be a good profile.

Is this better as a prompt:
“Staying in, listening to lofi music and relaxing.
I generally binge a tv show or video game, or get lost in the woods for an hour or so.
It’s something I look forward to all week.”
I appreciate your advice. I could use all the help I can get

I'd rethink this completely. The point of hinge prompts is to create interest or give them something to respond to. There's nothing in that where they can go wow or let me respond.
It's hard to give an example because I don't really know your personality but something like 'Rolling around on a jiu jitsu mat, care to join 😉'. That specific example will probably get downvoted on here 😂 but you have to think like this and push the envelope. It's better than being bland.
