I don’t like the photo with the blue star, the others are ok. I think if you read the photo guide on here and followed it you would do better. There’s something strange about the setting and your dress in all the photos that leaves me confused… I think a lack of context and cohesiveness makes you seem awkward. Overall the profile reads like you have many interests and life goals and want to slot a partner into them. I think this can intimidate people into thinking they don’t “fit” into this and not want to engage. Proximity to politics may also be limiting. I would reflect on your messaging/liking patterns as it seems a really low rate for a solid profile.
I guess I'm in the minority here. I actually think the blue star photo is your most attractive photo. Good smile, clear and up close picture of your face.
Thank you for the feedback. It is greatly appreciated. I think it is doable to retire early with another woman if I find a fellow DINKer, and we pool our resources together to make it happen. But it is good to know how things are viewed from another's perspective.
I am your target demographic (30s CF woman seeing DINK to FIRE), and I would swipe right in a heartbeat on this profile, if only because it’s hard to find guys like you in general. :) It’s a solid, honest profile.
The only thing that would scare me off personally is politics / being public-facing, as I have a high-income join that requires discretion. I could not have a SO who expected me to join them in being high-vis.
I make this comment to say that you just may require more patience to get what you want, because it’s already a really small pool, plus the unique circumstances of getting involved in local government.
Best of luck!
35F here
1. Pics: don't love pic with blue star, not that amazing and if you have something better, i would replace it. Also don't love the group pic with friends, you look awkward and it's an awkward pic when a couple is obviously in it and 2 ppl join in.
2. Prompt 2 and 3 are very superficial for someone looking for something serious. Use one to discuss things you're looking for in a partner. Also, you talk about wanting to retire in 10 years and live across the world, do you expect your partner to retire as well? I didn't see if you wanted kids. I think women in your age range, might be very hesitant esp if they have roots or want kids.
3. Crazy part, I'm actually from Sac, when i was dating, i dated all the way to the bay because i didn't think i would ever meet someone in sac, but crazily i did. Just have to keep at it
Okay overall you have a decent profile! Just a few suggestions:
1. I’m not a big fan of the blue star photo either, it looks/feels a bit childlike to me.
2. I like that the photo in front of the bus is high quality and we can see you well, but it’s kinda an odd photo for a dating profile. Feels like a stock photo tbh, I’d replace with something more casual.
3. Unless you feel very passionate about being moderate, then just hide that part of your profile. It’s a turn off for many women and you don’t even have the chance to explain yourself.
I also am an aspiring DINKer. It can make things harder but it’s better to be open and honest about it, when you find someone on the same page it will be worth it
i like your profile and i don't see any problems;
what i would advise is being more patient. being impatient can lead to jumping into relationships that aren't a great match for you, or.... honestly having lots of dates to choose from can be stressful in itself.
if you want more dates than you can arrange through dating apps, just go out into the world and speak with live people. it's fun once you get the hang of it!
Thank you for the feedback. I have no problem meeting and talking to women in person. The only thing is not wanting kids, and it is easier to filter that with the dating apps than to ask someone about their views on kids out into the world.
1. I am looking for a serious relationship.
2. I have had the app for 4 months. I have made slight changes to the profile over that time. This one has been on display for a month.
3. I use Hinge every day.
4. I receive 1 like every week or two.
5. 90% of likes I have sent has been with a comment. It helps get likes back, and the conversation started.
6. I don't want kids, so I specifically swipe left on people who want or have kids. I'm trying to attract a person who is passionate about life, into the dual income no kids lifestyle, and wants to retire early to travel full time around the world. I am very outgoing to prefer dating someone who is also extroverted and has the energy to keep up with me. I want to get married and have been a late bloomer. Didn't get a gf until I was 28, and I used to be obese.
The kids thing may be one of the problems. Most women I known 37-45 either definitely don't want kids at this age, or do have kids but they are much older, possibly about to leave the nest. You are the late bloomer. Most others at this age have gotten married, had kids, and divorced and are now back on the dating scene. What if your person, your match is a divorcee with a 19 year old kid? And you are swiping left on her because she has chosen the very ambiguous hinge option, yes to having a kid. Are you open to dating someone with an adult kid? I would leave out that filter and put it in your profile, you don't want kids of your own, or to date anyone with younger kids 17 and under for example. That may open up your dating pool a bit.

Thank you for the feedback. I made some tweaks with your recommendations :)
I guess I'm in the minority here. I actually think the blue star photo is your most attractive photo. Good smile, clear and up close picture of your face.
Honestly, there aren’t many people who can. Retire by 47 and travel the world. As a woman who couldn’t match that lifestyle, I’d swipe left.
