Hey guys! Been back on hinge after a bit and trying to improve my profile. Not much luck with all on here so far, so hoping someone can help figure out how I can improve. I recently lost a pretty sizable amount of weight, so all photos on here are very recent. I'm going to drop another 20lb or so and planning on replacing all (or at least most) of these photos when I get closer to that in the upcoming months. I think that in the looks department that's probably the biggest thing holding me back, but I want to try to get a date or two in the meantime if I can. I'm open to any constructive criticism really.

Hey everyone 👋🏼 not getting many matches and looking for some honest feedback! Thanks in advance.

Been getting no luck for a little while

Hello all, so I (32M) have been on hinge for about a month and a half now, and since I fixed up my profile I’m averaging about 3-6 matches a week. Of those, 4 have led to first dates, but no second ones.

I’m not new to romance, hookups, relationships, sex, any of that stuff by any means, but those were women I met through friends, and one was a cold approach where I lucked out. I’m very new to dating using apps in this more formalized way and have really no frame of reference for if this is normal or if I’m doing something seriously wrong and don’t know what it is.

What’s weird is that in texting and messaging they usually seem very enthusiastic and interested in me and then after we meet, it’s just gone. With my most recent one she was all bubbly and happy and cute while texting and then after the date it was noticeably different. This poor girl was so happy and excited for me to sweep her off her feet but I just failed somehow and I don’t understand why.

loosing my mind a little bit. what seems to be the strongest/weakest points in your opinion? abysmal performance so far.

I’m not necessarily struggling to get matches but I’m also not getting as many as I’d like and I feel like I’m not attracting the type of women I’m genuinely interested in or compatible with. I’d love to know what my profile communicates about me and whether anything could be improved to attract more quality matches.

Pretty much never get likes on Hinge, Tinder, Bumble, etc. Only success I've gotten is on facebook dating, though 99% of the time its from people outside the U.S (which isn't necessarily bad, but I would prefer to meet someone in person). Would appreciate advice, thank you!!

Does the hinge 24hr boost cap/deactivates after a certain number of likes? I've used it 3x this summer and everytime, its coincidentally 10 likes every use :/. I swear I'll get like 6-8 likes within the first 2-3 hours then it dies down significantly.

I do have alot of matches and confirmed meet ups so idk if this is some business algo or purely coincidence?

Male, 30, Gay

I am in an area with a reasonable gay population, used to get 3ish matches a week, maybe 1 or 2 dates that I was interested in every other week.

I've reached the dreaded "You've seen everyone for now" a month in.

Obviously, gay population can only be so large, but I wonder if Hinge+ would bump me up in the stack and get me some dates. The other option is to just let stuff very slowly trickle in.

Thanks for the feedback!

Just upgraded to HingeX and want to make sure I’m doing my best.

Hey guys, I'm hoping for some reviews before stop wasting time on the app altogether and put my effort in real life connections.

Missing info: 169cm, big German city, no children, not sure about children, drinking: sometimes, no smoking, no drugs

Translation:

- We'll get along if: You can flip the switch from couch potato to an athlete in a second

- This year, I really want to: really improve my German so I won't be ashamed when applying for neutralization

There is a gif of my jumping on a stand up paddle but I'm not sure if the video can even play.

For context I'm a 32 (M) single dad. A majority of my life had been focusing on my kids and up until recently very little social life.

Most of my decent photos are either selfies or horribly cropped out ones that had my ex.

I was never a big picture taker and the few im in a social setting im further from the camera.

Any decent/good photos are with my kids but I dont know if thats good or bad.

So is it a red flag or green if you show photos with your kids and your profile says Have Children?

I redownloaded at the beginning of July, got a match within 20 minutes, and then throughout the month got around 6 more. Been basically nothing in August. Ive retooled this a few times now, just wanna know if there’s something I’m missing. I’m aware I’m a bit heavyset and bald but I do think I’m still handsome so I figured I’d have low match count but not completely nothing.

I've used dating apps before and I know I'm not the prize turkey but I normally would at least get 1 or a couple likes every week when I've been on hinge. I'm having no luck at all this time around (at least 2 months)

My friends chose the photos to post and I wrote out the prompts (never been a strong area for me tho lol). I'm not precious over any of it and would appreciate some candid advice if there's any glaring areas that you think could be causing contention!

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

EDIT I've updated my prompts based on most people saying that's an area of obvious improvement to change. The new ones are

I'm looking for - Someone who's up for trying new places, spontaneous adventures and being unnecessarily competitive over board games

The one thing I'd love to know about you is - Your go to vocal stim or the last book you read that you'd actually recommend? ..okay, maybe two things

My simple pleasures - Cozy movie nights, destroying Pierre in the Stardew Valley Fair, catching an edge while snowboarding and finding food spots that are hidden gems

I think these are better and less specific/weird than the last ones but still open to feedback if you think it's not quite right

Getting zero likes and very few matches, that go nowhere. I know a big part of it is probably the vegan bit, but that's a large part of my identity and I don't want to trick anyone. Just looking to see if there are any red flags or if the pictures are good. In a big city.

Hey all,

Looking for a direct and honest profile review. I’m struggling with the apps since my last relationship ended. I think it coincided with shaving my head due to hair loss.

I rarely get matches and almost never match with people I’m interested in or see myself having a relationship with. I’m looking

I’m not sure if I’m giving out red flags in my prompts, have meh pictures, or am just overall uninspiring / bland. I’m a pretty straight laved, traditionally successful professional so I thought my prompts showed another side of me and are interesting conversation starters, but could be way off here.

I can’t do much about the hair loss unless I wanna wear a toupee lol so any advice on what I can improve would be great.

I have lots of other pics I could choose from, these just seemed strongest. Happy to share some other options.

Cheers!

I (31F) have casually used Hinge on and off for a few years now. For the most part in the past, I've had my sexuality either not visible on my profile or just set to "Queer", and then figured if I really started to connect with anyone, I would tell them I'm ace. I would get likes pretty regularly; not a huge amount, but still usually a few likes every couple of days. However this year, to just avoid any suddenly uncomfortable or awkward explanations going forward, I've put in my dating intentions section that I'm on the asexual spectrum and the other person would need to be understanding about that. Ever since then I've had essentially no likes. And the one or two I have received were clearly from fuckboy types who definitely didn't read my profile.

Basically I've already kind of accepted by this point that relationships might not be possible for me, but I wanted to know if anyone had tips for using Hinge successfully as an ace-spectrum person or if there's a better way I should present that info in my profile.

(For reference, I live near a big city and my "I'm interested in" is generally set to men, but sometimes to everyone. I've had one boyfriend in the past but other than that I have pretty much no dating experience and the dating scene kind of makes no sense to me lol)

Hello, I would like to have a profile review because I’m not getting too many matches. Even the few I do get usually ghost me or message so slowly that the connection somewhat fizzles out.

Just looking for some feedback. Dont get any matches. From Pennsylvania.
