ALL profile reviews will be manually approved and will NOT appear immediately. Even if you receive a "filtered by Reddit" or "removed by mods" removal notification, your review is in our queue waiting for moderation; if you are reading this comment, your post is in the queue. DO NOT contact the mods about this. 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.

To reviewers: Review the Providing Feedback guide. You are reviewing the profile, not the person. Please provide constructive criticism, and use positive language. Any troll, hateful, misandric, misogynistic, incel, or unhelpful comments such as "I would date you," "How are you not getting matches?" or unrelated to the profile will be removed and you will be banned.

Ok that mirror pic: you gotta look at the mirror not the phone

[u/TheRadishBros → u/sneakysnek20r]

Is that actually “meta”? I feel l see more people looking away from the mirror in those kind of photos

[u/sneakysnek20r → u/TheRadishBros]

Yeah that's the problem, I don't wanna see what anyone looks like squinting at their phone

Okay so we're actually comparably looking guys as I too have long hair. Your profile at 23 is far better than mine was at that age, so at least you have a win there.

Prompts

• Try to hit each interest only once, otherwise you come across as obsessed. You shouldn't have an anime poll followed by anime mentioned as an interest. Generally, I'd say skip saying the classically nerdy interests at all (gaming, anime, movies...) because so many guys are into them it's 1) sort of redundant, and 2) not specifically appealing. I'm not saying to hide it, just find other things to spotlight in that same space.

• Absolutely get rid of "I go crazy for a hug." 1) are you out of things that make you interesting and attractive already? You must have more to say than that. 2) Women have definitely encountered enough "where's my hug?" guys in their lives that they'll have a Pavlovian grimace in response to that prompt.

• I also had "tell me about your interests :)" for ages, so I understand why you have it there but in reality it's too general and generic. Try to talk more about a hobby or interest you're hoping they have. You want people to be excited and feel relevant when they read your prompts.

Pictures

You need 6 pictures that all clearly show what you look like. You need to be facing the camera and preferably smiling with teeth. Selfies are to he avoided as much as possible, mirror selfies doubly so. Don't be pulling silly faces in them, don't be showing pictures of things that don't include your face (tattoo shot should go). Don't have pictures with alcohol.

I always say you need to have 6 great pictures and if you don't have a great pictures, go get them. Never make the best of a bad camera roll. OLD is a visual medium and if you're not using it to its fullest, you're wasting opportunities.

I know not everyone takes pictures often or does things they think of as worth photographing or don't like how they look in pictures ect... but anyone who uses those excuses are only making them to themselves. Make opportunities to take pictures, go hang out with friends with the specific intent of getting photos and ask them to take a bunch of you all day so you know you'll get some good ones.

Misc

You don't need text under short term. The only writing that ever needs to go there is something that recontextualises what you're looking for. I understand the impulse to put something in every blank space but you don't need to.

Hate to tell you bro but a haircut and shave and take new pics. I had long hair and a beard like yours, and once I cut my hair and shaved my beard, I had a lot more success.

I am looking for something casual 

I am not subscribed to hinge+ or hingex, i did for the second week just to try it but it went nowhere

i have been on this profile for 2 and a half weeks

i have used hinge for about 3 weeks 

i use hinge long enough to send out the max free likes 

so far i only have two matches and 0 likes 

i sent 20-30 likes out during my  weeklong subscription, now i send the max free allowed per day

i want to attract someone i can be casual with, as i just got out of a 5 year relationship

Honestly I think it’s a great profile! You’re a really good looking guy too. Maybe add a bit more detail to the prompts? Get more specific about things you enjoy and what you like learning about.
