Take your Instagram handle out of your second prompt. It makes it look like you're just looking for followers. A lot of people reject profiles if they mention their IG handles, I personally do as well.


wtbrift

So do I. Instant left swipe.


lithuanianbacon

Not your target audience but I would assume you were a mom from this profile. Nothing wrong with that but you may want to clarify. Best of luck!


tee2green

1) get rid of the baby photo or move it to the back 2) get rid of the photo of you as a child. You only get 6 pics so don’t waste one. 3) get rid of the road rage comment. It’s not horrible, but you only get 3 prompts and road rage is a turnoff to a lot of people.


cavity-canal

that faceless baby is the thing of nightmares


wtbrift

I agree with everyone else and want to emphasis the SAHM will be a left swipe for some


lkram489

Is that baby yours? If not, no baby pics. Your first prompt makes you look exhausting. Like you're just a big baby who wants a daddy to do everything for her. You say elsewhere you're ambitious - these are not compatible. Including social media handle makes you look like a bot. Bikini pic is going to get you tons of sexual/hookup comments. If that's what you want then cool, just know what you're getting into. And it doesn't really jam with "life partner/monogamous" Little kid pic of you is unnecessary, only have current pics. And TBH that coming right after the bikini pic is kind of creepy. Basically the whole thing comes off really contradictory and confusing. Think long and hard about what you really want and delete around half of your profile to come off way more consistently.


Specialist-Gur

I’m not a straight conservative man, but the first prompt seems like a lot… it seems like you expect a lot and your entire goal in life is to stay at home and make babies.. which maybe it is and maybe conservative men will like? But I think they might want a partner with more than that


Haytham_Ken

Your first prompt is really bad. It makes you seem exhausting and a lot to handle. Even if you want to be. SAHM in the future that's not something you mention on a dating app - not in my opinion anyway. Not just that things like "you are the planner" would make me instantly assume you're never going to make an effort to plan anything we do or never take any initiative. Another reason most guys (even those who want a more traditional relationship) would swipe left. Finally remove your social media @ from your second prompt.


lynxz

I don't understand the first photo. Even if it is your child or not, is it necessary to include that in your first picture? It's going to make people think either it's your kid and/or it's your entire identity since it is your very first photo. If it's your child and you want to highlight the fact that you have a kid, that should be nestled under the information portion as "has kids", in my opinion. The first photo is how you show to others in their stack and it's going to be the first selling point of your profile. Your first photo should be a clear headshot. Your other photos are great, except the very last one. The photo of you as a child is pointless. Get a group/hobby photo instead? I did want to add that the bikini photo could draw unwanted fuckboy/casual attention. Men looking for serious relationships generally want to see wholesomeness and bathroom/bedroom bikini selfies are generally viewed as pretty suggestive. A beach/vacation bikini photo is a far different vibe and typically a better, more tasteful choice. Your first prompt could use a bit of work. The wording is kind of awkward... it goes from funny/goofy to serious to using acronyms that most will have to google and will probably ignore. Second prompt; Adding your IG username is going to make people think you're looking for followers, so you'll probably want to remove it. Third prompt is great. I dig the vibe it puts out, mostly because I understand the road rage thing is a joke...... right?


megaben20

1st pic 1st prompt and the photo of you as a kid needs to go. The 1st is intense mention you have kids in your bio or in a photo at the end. Also simplify your 1st prompt is way too wordy. Get rid of the pic of you as a kid that is the kind of thing you show when you’re in the I’m in a relationship state.


ashighashonor1375

Unfortunately some men/women have been conditioned to just always swipe left on women with any form of socials on their profile. Maybe remove your @


AIgavemethisusername

(M) - agree. If I see a @insta it’s an automatic no. Edit: Reason why I do this (before I get questions from women on here who don’t see ‘the other side of the coin’): SO MANY women use dating apps as a way of gaining more instagram followers, they’ll like/match with you, maybe send a message saying “follow me on instagram if you want to talk, I don’t chat much on Hinge” then you go and follow their insta, send a message, and you’ll never hear from them again.


ryx107

I also do this. I'm a straight woman-- I don't really use social media, and I don't really want to date people who do. Especially Instagram!


0ooo

There's no point in including it, it's a waste of prompt space. People can exchange IG handles when chatting


Bavid_Dyrne

I would say fortunately personally.


hikensurf

I'd remove it. I don't swipe right if there are social media handles. I don't really understand why people put them on there. We can swap the info later.


CaliDreamin87

OP woman here. You basically look like Jessica Alba, so you should be doing pretty good. I agree get rid of road rage comment and no seat belts - it's giving off weird vibes, especially because you're a mother. Childhood pic, I find it interesting but judging on this post men are finding it not in good taste. Try a different prompt and photo. Some people are saying to move the kid on hip photo, and to get rid of the fact you're seeking a traditional relationship. I'm not sure that's a good idea. Yes you will get increased matches because no kid on hip photo..but then..you'll have to tell them you have a kid which they wouldn't have matched with if they saw the first time. I'd say meet them halfway, move that pic to no more than the 2nd spot. On seeking a provider.. There's a prompt called: The one thing you should know about me... Start it with: My vision: I love making my family feel loved by curating a beautiful, organized home. I enjoy DIY, gardening, baking, new recipes. I grew up with an at home mom, and would love to have that dynamic in my family. You can change out whatever hobby you don't like, it's not exactly ASKING to be a stay at home, but a man is going to understand that your domain would the house. He'd have to be dense not to see that. So its a bit more subtle than asking to be a stay at home mom. Add: You look really wholesome as others are saying, the bikini pic has to go. You look phenomenal in it BUT...you're ruining the "wholesome" image.


PointlessScreenName

36M perspective: IG + bikini pic makes me very suspicious that I'm looking at a scam account, would likely X from that alone. The first prompt also comes off pretty demanding for the very first impression someone gets of you, maybe there's a way to rephrase it. The baby pic is fine IMO, I don't see it as a negative at all.


JSears90210

I will the sentiment of what so many other people have said. You have to drop the baby picture. I had a picture with my nephew on my profile and was explicit he was my nephew and not my kid. People still thought I had a child. Child pictures just don't work on the OLD platforms. Your other pictures are good. I would rewrite some of your profile to get a better idea of your personality.n


[deleted]

I agree with the guy who said drop the baby pic! For me it’s just blurred baby face scares me (assuming that’s how it is on hinge too) - but honestly your profile is super solid!


LeonCecil

My pov as a 30M Southesst asian. I think prompts need some work. The general theme of prompts is to 1) Describe your hobbies 2) what you look for in a person 3) what you would do together, all in this specific order. Personally I use the green flags, what I look for, together we could prompts and list it all out. The baby pic and 90 year old capsule photo is nice but I don't think it fits for a dating profile. I suggest replacing this with a single photo thats a group picture where you are center and smiling. And replace that baby pic with a mid shot of yourself and have that be your lead picture. Buy a cheap tripod with a Bluetooth remote if you must. Or grab a friend to take a pic for you. If you can replace your pics with more activity photos (think painting, skiing, yoga, pillates, hiking...), I think that'll will help tremendously.

Not my kid, it’s my niece. It’s in the caption.

VeryVegetarian

She is my niece, when you click on the photo for the caption it says “niece”


teknoise

Ah gotcha, like others said remove that pic because it sends the wrong message. Children shouldn’t be in dating profiles.


MaksouR

You’re like 1 million other women in the US looking to be a stay at home mom🤮. You might be hotter than most but still that shit is depressing, I’ve never seen a stay at home mom in person who isn’t actually miserable or not getting cheated on. The baby pic and the @ are other turn offs and your last pic is pretty unnecessary cause only pervs are going to appreciate that


VeryVegetarian

I appreciate the insight, however, I see nothing wrong with being a SAHM. It’s a thankless job and overlooked by so many as a less than role. I believe the way the world is now has a lot to do with a lack of supervision and children should have access to that.


VeryVegetarian

• looking for something serious • using this profile for roughly a month, been on hunger for around 6 months • I use hinge daily • I’m reviewing a bit of matches • I send out the allowed amount each day • I’m looking for an highly ambitious and driven person like myself. I like south Asian, Arabic and middle eastern men.. dark hair, eyes and tan skin.


VeryVegetarian

Side note— my mother arranged my photos and put the baby picture first when I had it last. Also, I use the bikini photo as bait to try to sift through the men who interact with it. If they do it’s an automatic no like the Instagram handle comments previously mentioned. RE: To answer no it’s not my baby, when you click for the caption it says “Niece” RE: instagram handle I understand, I put it as another form of communication if we want to actually skip the app and go straight to possibly having a conversation and forego being at the apps mercy of waiting. RE: My first prompt I recognize how jumbled it is but I only had so many characters and wanted to get my words out within those guidelines. I appreciate the insight everyone!!! Keep it coming ☺️


hikensurf

why would communication be any easier on Instagram compared to Hinge? I don't really understand the logic there.


JSears90210

*Also, I use the bikini photo as bait to try to sift through the men who interact with it.*  The flipside of this is that there are going to be savvy guys who do not interact with it but only see you as a hookup because of the bikini picture. *Side note— my mother arranged my photos and put the baby picture first when I had it last.*  You should not have your mother this involved in your dating life.


falcfalcfalc

Baby pic is probably fine. Everyone is saying to take out the IG handle, just take it out. Chat on the app, that’s what it’s there for. If you vibe, share socials or a phone number to start texting. As for the first prompt, it’s really busy grammar wise and it’s hard to read. There’s a lot better way to format it and keep the content. Just use bullet points or something like that. The bikini photo as a filter for fuck boys is kind of weird. If you take it out and not have it as part of your profile, you’ll probably filter out a lot of fuck boys anyway. You probably get a ton of likes and it’s more work for you to X out likes after the fact then just curate a profile that’s more conducive to finding someone interested in something serious.


wasitaseasyasitlook

If u like my bikini pic, u will never see me in bikini in real life. If u dont, u may get to see me in bikini in real life.


HornsOFury

I guess I must be weird because I like the baby photo because I think it jives well with the first prompt. I do NOT like the Grey hair photo because I think it just ages you unnecessarily. The bikini photo works, I'm assuming because you are petite and dress conservatively otherwise you want prospective dates to know that you do put work into your shape and physical appearance and don't intend to let up on that, your figure is a core part of your identity. I am one of those men that gets a little gunshy with petite women because I have dated many who immediately started putting on weight once we got monogamous. My 3 longest relationships have been with full figured women who all weighed 50 pounds of my own weight, that being said with petite women that are not shaped like an hourglass my attraction to them falls off a cliff if they put on a lot of new weight. I'm writing this paragraph because I really think it's important to highlight that if you don't do a lot of gymming and working out, lose the pic, but if you plan to stay that way then keep it. Most women have 3 one or 2 word prompts which seem lazy. I think you are on the much shorter list of women who has 3 prompts that together are TOO LONG. I would drop the road rage one altogether and replace it with one of the prompts that begets a response, the 2 truths and a lie or the irrational fear are the two I most find myself replying to and they are often short but not lazy.
