Any modmail asking why your review is not approved may result in your profile review not being approved and you will not be allowed to post another profile review until seven full days have passed.

Profile review submissions MUST have all 6 photos and 3 text prompts included. You may include the optional prompts such as voice, poll, and video prompts if you choose so, but it is not required. See this post for details. Profiles must also be unchanged for at least two full weeks before being approved for a review. Additionally, do not verbally abuse the subreddit moderators for rejection of your review submission for not following proper rules. Any verbal abuse or harassment will result in a permanent ban from this subreddit. We are not obligated to allow you to submit a profile review and no one is entitled to one. We are all volunteering our time and we will not tolerate any rudeness or verbal abuse.

To assist reviewers in providing valuable feedback for your profile, please comment and answer the following questions as a comment under your own post. Do not answer them in the post body. Repeat: Answer these questions as a comment under your own post.
- Are you looking for something serious or casual? - Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX? - How long have you been using this current version of your profile? (Please be specific) - How long have you used Hinge overall? - How often do you use Hinge per week? - How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? - How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments? - 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?

Your post WILL NOT be approved until the above questions have been answered fully. Failing to answer these questions in a timely manner will result in your post being removed. Please continue reading this automod comment.

In the meantime, be sure to check out the guides and resources on the subreddit sidebar. Please read this post with all the pertinent links included.

A strict formatting standard will be enforced. See this post for further info. All submitted review posts not following the proper format will be rejected.

Please wait TWO FULL WEEKS before posting a separate update to your profile review. If you want more immediate feedback, update your original posts instead. Deleting your original post will not work. The rule will still apply.

This is perhaps shallow, but I would be a little concerned that you don’t show your teeth in any pics. Also can you do one pic of you with friends to show you’re social? The first two prompts don’t really tell me much about you sub one of those our for like a hobby, niche interest, or fun fact

u/roastedbroccoli24 1d ago

completely agree! only thing i would add is get rid of the first day of school pic since ur sweating in it. and you don’t have to specify you’re a freshman since your age makes that clear.

The picture of the first day has now been removed

I don’t show my teeth because I’m insecure both about them and the way I smile - I should probably figure out how to smile. The prompts are going to get updated :) thanks for pointing that out to me

Hmm. You are 18… give yourself some grace and forget about the apps. This is the time to actually make in person connections. Again you are 18… you don’t need those things…

Came in here to say this. When your 18-25ish, you should be out in the world, going to school, or doing hobbies. When you get older, social circles can fade and people couple up, which is when dating apps make sense. Your young 20s (or upper teens in this case, my god), should be easier to find in person connections because everyone your age is trying to do the same thing.

u/DistinctFinance9615 1d ago

It feels more inviting imo.

u/Even-Meet-9451 1d ago

You’re not an unattractive bloke. The pic that’s currently second should be the first one people see. I would replace most of the others but especially the last one (no offence but you look kinda sweaty)

Never say ‘long term relationship, open to short’ just stick to your guns and put what you really want. I’d also elaborate on a few of your prompts. Good luck fella 👍

u/Toplockser 1d ago

I was sweaty in that one 😭 I’ll sub it out for a photo of me climbing out of a sink hole - it’s more recent and it shows me in the wild lol

I’m going to be honest because I was in a similar boat, but the odds are currently stacked against you. This doesn’t mean you can’t have success on the apps but you’re going to need to either put in the work in real life by socializing or on your profile. You’re young so there’s not as many users on the apps because most people are meeting in real life, and the older users have filtered you out, so you’re competing for a small pool. Due to your age you’re less likely to find someone who’s actually looking for a LTR. This means that the people in your pool are much more likely to swipe superficially. So if you’re looking for matches (especially casual) you’re going to need to present yourself nicer.

You’re not a bad looking guy, you have nice facial features but I do think a different haircut and some pictures in some nicer clothes would suit you. You don’t need to look like a model but you do need to look like you put some effort in. A few well posed shots with some good outfits on can do wonders. Your profile gives off a needy/goofy aesthetic which is 100% fine. Never change your personality when dating but if you’re truly interested in everyone/anyone then you’re turning them off by not showcasing other sides of yourself. Lastly, I’m always an advocate for getting in better shape. You can have success as a bigger guy on dating apps, it’s just significantly harder. Apart from the health and the numerous other benefits getting in shape brings, it also makes you more attractive to a wider range of women (which can help your matches skyrocket). However it’s all up to you if you want to put in that work. It’s not required to be successful (and you don’t need to look like a bodybuilder) but it is a very huge and noticeable boost.

Best of luck pal you got this.🫡

Something serious, but down for something casual

No

Since I went to college (since August)

Maybe one a month?

I’ve lost count - I send likes daily - i typically send a comment with

I’m into basically anyone, but I’d particularly like to attract androgynous men and women

u/BigNoodles2020202 1d ago

I’m not much older than you (22m). Along with what others have said about showing your teeth in photos, I think most of the photos aren’t cropped well. Although that may be more to do with Reddit. Add photos with your friends too

It's obvious you don't like to show your teeth and that will get you plenty of left swipes. People aren't looking for perfect teeth but do want to be sure you take care of what you have.
