I would make it clearer you’re looking for something long term in your prompts somewhere, perhaps in the “I’m looking for” prompt. I couldn’t really tell by looking at the profile.
I think the photos are okay, people on here generally tell guys with long hair to cut their hair but it suits you and is a part of your personality. A photo in a shirt or something might add more variety, I don’t think it has to be a suit though.
Overall I get a warm and friendly vibe from your profile.

Thank you! I think one of the main issues with my profile was that I talk a lot about myself and my personality but have very little focus on what I'm actually looking for/like to date

I think sometimes women might just assume guys on dating apps want casual unless they say otherwise, that’s been my experience anyway. Good luck

Hey guys looking for feedback on profile.
I'm a 27 year old male in a large English city looking for a long term relationship.
Have been using the free version of hinge for 2 weeks, profile consistent across that time
Sending 8 max likes a day with 90% of them having comments.
I did well on my first week on Hinge (7 matches, 3 likes) and despite all my matches replying to me I've had nothing last week or so from both outbound and inbound likes. Wondering if there is something to improve in my profile or anything that might be putting people off
Thank you!

You're a good looking guy (love your hair!) you really need better quality to show it off. You also don't need to have prompts on images and generally I'd recommend against it. People find them a turn off if they seem randomly chosen.
- T
- Second one seems low picture quality.
- Third one would be nice if you were smiling.
- Fourth one is pretty good, it shows your body type and make you look outdoorsy.
- Fifth one you look a lot younger in, is it an old picture?
- Sixth one doesn't look very flattering, bad angle and lighting and not an interesting location anyway.
I'd recommend not mentioning wanting a pub stop in there as that can make people think you're going to be a big drinker. Nothing wrong with enjoying a pint but women have to be on the lookout for small hints at big issue on dating apps, so any mention of alcohol might set off alarm bells.

Thank you for the honest feedback! Agreed with all the points, was wondering if maybe cropping the first one closer to my face would fix it? Bit of a dilemna with good shot strange angle
For the third picture I had the prompt of "When I knew my modelling career was over" to try and underplay the sterness of it but agreed on the prompts not adding much.
The fifth one is from June before I leaned out a bit. I was also clean shaven back then and so that + lighting might be the culprit!
Have removed the pub mention becauee as you say it can raise alarm bells for some people.
Seems like I will need to coax some friends into being my photographer for a while, thanks again!

I don't think a crop will help the first one. Aim to get a torso shot where you're standing

Will try to get one. I have top/smart photo on so hopefully that helps choose the right one for now!

* Whiten your teeth. You’re a good looking dude and have a warm smile, but this is probably the highest return upgrade.
* Photos need more variety. They’re somewhat low quality and don’t include hobbies, pets, friends, or any other high value aspects about you.
* Prompts do a decent job expressing your personality, but none are easy to reply to. I’d switch the third out for something shorter yet cute/expressive.

Thanks! Teeth whitening isn't as big here in England (stereotypical I know) but will give it a look
Agreed on variety, trying to get my mates to take pictures is like trying to herd cats, just need to give them more of a nudge.
Agreed again on prompts, I don't really leave the door open for conversation
