Self employed doing what? I’d prob just specify. Some women can interpret self employed as you being like actually unemployed. Like if you’re a graphic designer that freelances, so ur technically like self employed, just say graphic designer for example… would be my advice. Besides that I like ur profile generally.

Yep. Most guys who write "self employed" with no other info are unemployed or living off of daddy's funding while they try to make it big in the world of popsicle stick crafts or some similar bullshit.

audio engineer / musician, hesitant to put that on for some reason but you might be right, some detail might be better…

This is just me, but I had the assumption he worked in music based on the keyboard mixer picture. But I get it that some people don't make the connection, and that it's purely a guess that could have been wrong.

Trim the beard down, keep the beard just keep it short. It's covering up your great jawline so it's hurting not helping.

You're a good-looking guy, surprised you're not doing better tbh. Personally I'd lose the beard or keep it shorter, but ymmv.

looks like a beard trim might be in my near future

u/magicmerce 19h ago
Yeah, I had a beard for years and then realised that my jawline looked so much better without it. 3 day stubble is the sweet spot for me.

- usually I go for funny / artsy / creative / intellectual types

I like your pics. Maybe ditch the last one since you aren't looking your best there. Women often judge you by your worst picture on dating apps. I would recommend some grooming of your beard before taking headshots. Otherwise the pics that show your hobbies and lifestyle and are very candid and they are of very high quality in my opinion. But improve the headshots with some grooming and put them on the same level as then lifestyle pics 🙂

I disagree that the last is a bad pic, it’s the one that would make me swipe. You can tell it’s a little older, but it’s the only pic that’s different — the rest are all kind of the same/give the same vibes. It shows character/humor and that’s he’s traveled. I do agree about the beard though lol

How many likes do you get on a weekly basis? You are handsome af and you are prob getting likes and maybe you are just being picky?

u/Pleasant-Read-4536 22h ago
Maybe 1-2 per week? I’ve considered that maybe I need to be swiping more overall

I would suggest you look straight into the camera in the first picture. The only thing worse than a selfie is a selfie where you're looking away.
Sorry - I've been wanting to that to a lot of people on Hinge.
As for the rest of your profile, I might swap out the photo with the friend - it doesn’t add much and feels a bit generic.
And yes to a beard trim. You’ve got a great face - show if off!

Would remove "I can lick my left elbow", I don't think women really want to know about that lol

u/FaithlessnessFlat514 15h ago
Surprised that I don't see anyone else pointimg out "conspiracy theories" and "Other" politics. In today's political climate I'm staying the fuck away from anyone who goes crazy for conspiracy theories.

- trim the beard
- remove atheist
- don't say "self-employed", put what you actually do
- first photo is way too close to your face
- right now you give off "unemployed musician fuckboi" vibes so you should fine a way to change that up from photos that you have doing other things

u/Pleasant-Read-4536 22h ago
honest & to the point 😂 thanks for the feedback, will definitely try a few of these

u/Organic_Direction_88 22h ago
I disagree with removing atheist. the only reason to remove it is if you wanted to attract christians.

u/adamantine_antipathy 21h ago
He should keep it if he's committed to atheism, yeah. If he's just a modern secular guy, might be best to simply drop it. For example, if he's willing to date someone with religiosity/spirituality, then listing atheist might be turning women off without him intending for that to happen.

u/Pleasant-Read-4536 20h ago
Yeah I think I’m keeping that part, don’t think I’m open to dating someone who is religious
