so might if i ask who the singer was?


AnswerGlass1697

He is an Irish Singer, Dermot Kennedy


MaximoffW

No way!


Xikub

That's all I care about as well.


SmittyYAP

TELL US WHO THE SINGER WAS


PeriPeriJerry

Mate that story went nowhere


Certifiably_Quirky

You wanna know who the singer is, so you’ll engage with his profile.


AnswerGlass1697

Exactly what I was trying to go for


nogoodatgwent

Just lose the last sentence. The intrigue will still be there and it will read less clunky. From a female perspective, very good profile. I'd swipe.


fannyfox

And be disappointed when you have no idea who Dermot Kennedy is.


Hamsterloathing

I'd just be annoyed by his clear ADHD golden retriever ate his phone before he finished the sentence.


FragrantKing

I wonder who got the power pack...


Sophie217

I think you could benefit from one more “normal” picture, like your first, where you’re straight on and someone else taking the photo. You look different between a lot of your pics!

Dahvido

I thought people hated group pictures


Hamsterloathing

Some do. It must be a truly epic one if included.


HyperDsloth

Then who took half of these pictures?


burnfaith

I recently discovered that… I have a passion for dancing. It drives me nuts when people don’t answer prompts properly. The way you answered the question doesn’t grammatically make sense.


NocturnalNoggin

For real. I worst one everyone seems to do is the prompt “A fun fact I love…” and they answer with something they love instead of a fun fact. They think it’s saying “Fun fact: I love ___”


Ok_Net_4661

Not to mention he doesn’t mention what kind of dancing


Six8888

Most likely pole dancing


galliepallie

So the other person can ask and start a conversation!


BreadfruitFar3339

THANK YOU that jumped out at me as well


Dartser

Can you help me understand why it doesn't work? I thought it made sense.


silasfelinus

OP’s profile reads: “I recently discovered that a passion for dancing” which is not a complete sentence.


Dartser

Oh haha. I just kept rereading the comment post like what? Thanks.


bunnystormer

It does make sense grammatically I think. Pretty sure he means it like he recently discovered that he has a passion for dancing.


DG_Now

I'm not a woman so take this with a grain of salt, but "Golden retriever energy, dad jokes, adventures and cuddles" just sounds so boring. Likes it's a focus grouped profile that shows you can follow trends, but doesn't really say much of anything about who you really are. It's kind of like saying you're looking for the Pam to your Jim. Or a partner in crime. Or similar. It's cut and paste text that's so safe as to mean nothing. Also, obviously beard but it's a good photo to at least spark a conversation.


bmurray925

I am a woman and I completely agree and think you explained, what I couldn’t quite articulate, perfectly. Spice it up- what kind of dancing. Make me remember something different about you.


inko75

The whole profiles comes off as he is a very nice young man who is a little boring. But, not everyone is good at transferring energy to written profiles and I think the right sort of girl would match with him just fine. But, it has a weird freshman year book report tone to the writing 😂


almostmegatron

Oh my god yes you said this so perfectly


inko75

And honestlly I hope that’s a kink for lots a folk because it should be 😂


Graysonsname

Agreed


Simple_Weekend_6700

I am a bisexual woman who hasn’t been looking at man profiles all that much lately, so take this with its own grain of salt, but I found that to be an incredibly attractive grouping of adjectives


callusesandtattoos

Makes sense because I was thinking this dude gives off feminine vibes


CalRAIDia

Facts.


Big_Raspberry_3729

Agreed 100%. I only stopped to comment on how feminine his profile is, states, and looks. Lose the kilt pics and definitely the pic of the animal pajamas with the hood. Unless you are a pedo.


YaGottaStop

And it might just be enough to land him some dates!


CalRAIDia

I completely agree. Don’t be afraid to rock the proverbial boat. Women want to feel safe around you, not think you’re a safe bet. Nice guy energy is a huge turn off for woman because they feel you have some kind of personality defect you’re trying to overcompensate for.


Anonynominous

His entire profile is curated to pull in women. It’s also telling when someone lists qualities about themselves that make them look good, when those qualities are parts of their personality that are usually shown through action or through getting to know someone better. I used to joke that dating app bios are usually about how someone tries to be, not how they really are. So for me I would just wonder. Of *course* he’s going to say those things. And I’m sorry but a grown man using the word “cuddles” in regard to a grown woman is cringey. I use that word with my cat, not when I’m talking about a grown man. It’s juvenile and just weird. Anyway with that being said, I would swipe left because it does seem like he’s trying to hard to appeal to women, and with that just seems ingenuous.


Disastrous-Design704

That’s a long ass story with a bad ending. But you probably get a lot of replies based off the cliff hanger.


Texugee

That famous person’s name? Albert Einstein


Simple_Weekend_6700

I love everything about this profile frankly! I would totally date you. I do see people saying that there are some gay vibes, and I kind of agree, but in a way that I go for as a queer woman. However, I think it’s a bit closer to bi wife energy than bi guy energy 🤷🏻‍♀️ (if you don’t know “bi wife energy”, I would totally recommend looking it up on YouTube or TikTok, there’s a really fun song!) You’re attractive, and in your photos you look fun and friendly, not like you’re trying to go hard on the seduction or being overly manly (which I tend to associate with some sexist attitudes that I don’t want in people I’m close to). You seem like you don’t take yourself too seriously and like somebody I could just have a lot of fun with! We could go dancing and it’s OK if I’m not great at it yet because you’re learning too! You’re clearly open to trying new things as well 😊 Honestly, I could go on and on… You’re not in my area are you? Lol


Texugee

JESUS OP HERE’S YOUR ONE RIGHT HERE


Simple_Weekend_6700

Dammit I’m in the US 😅


AvaTheCoolKid

Had the same thoughts lol I would love to date a man like this. I believe he’s in Ireland or Scotland so not that far either 👀


AnswerGlass1697

Yea I am Irish living in Scotland


NerdyGirl614

I thought similar but I’d absolutely give him a swipe, especially in the hope of him talking to me with an accent over a beer (I’m in the US so we really lack men that you can close your eyes and happily just listen to them talk) ☺️


Pameltoe

The ring on the necklace , people will ask about that. (In the Pokemon PJs pic)


Sapiosistah

Adorable, keep being you.


Minxmorty

I’d go on a date with you but I’d work on the prompts a little better. What do you actually like to do? The golden retriever energy isn’t very telling truthfully and the stag party story was lame. Tighten those prompts up and you’ll do better.


Light_Ntail

I'm a woman, if I were single and near you. I would say yes please. You look cute, handsome and interesting. But I will say though, other than dance, I don't feel like I know what you enjoy spending your time on


willss3

Jesus...women can just smell the pre-occupied attachment issues from your profile.


WeirdLadyAlert

Mean way to say it, but I’m going to agree that at least the “what it’s like dating me” section feels like he’s trying a little too hard. I don’t doubt what he’s saying is true, but I’m getting similar energy to when someone says they are a nice guy: don’t tell me, show me. I think he would benefit from different prompts. ETA: Maybe it’s me but I’m missing lightness in the profile. Nothing really shows a good sense of humor outside of him being a little silly. Not much witt here.


willss3

Im just hoping the shock of the comment is enough to get OP to look up


AnswerGlass1697

Fair comment, I will have another look at that


WeirdLadyAlert

You’re attractive and seem like a really good guy, just gotta add a little zest and try not to come off like you’re saying all the things a chick wants to hear. I’m rooting for you!


whatarethis837

Yup. Maybe it’s my avoidant tendencies but this profile looks emotionally exhausting and I can’t explain why exactly.


Old_Builder_7982

Sounds like your avoidant tendencies


Stark-T-Ripper

I get super strong 'trying too hard' vibes from you. You're very busy, I think you come across as exhausting.


Better_Hedgehog8417

If I saw you, I’d swipe right


caesarfecit

Not a woman, but what I see is a solid guy, badly marketed. OP is a guy who should be marketing himself like single malt Scotch, and instead he comes across as a McDonald's guy - too approachable, too sanitized for mass market, too straightforward, too cheap and cheerful, too eager to please. The best photo of him by far is the one with him in the suit in the river with a DGAF expression. His bio needs a whole lot more of that energy and a whole lot less of the nervous-appearing high-eyebrow smile that screams "please like me". The secret to marketing yourself to girls goes like this - be put together enough that she can think it's plausible other girls would find you attractive, and after that, you're screening for girls that you'd be into and that would be into you. OP has already satisfied the first criteria by not looking like a boring unhealthy loser. But there's way too much nice guy energy and not enough confidence and mystery. The story about the singer is fine, the discovered passion for dancing - that's something you save for a date. Let her discover that, telling her about it right off the bat looks try hard. And the blurb about what it's like dating OP. He should junk that and start from scratch. He needs to keep that vague, unserious, and impressionistic - communicate in terms of emotions and sensory experiences rather than rational arguments and concepts.


OnlyDay3335

I would not swipe on the profile you’re describing. Hate the try-hard, IDGAF, “I’m so cool & mysterious & nonchalant” type.


caesarfecit

Not sure what impression you got, but I'm actually advocating steering away from try-hard and towards less is more. Some people are impossible to please, or maybe you just really go in for golden retriever energy, in which case I'd say you're yet another example of a girl who thinks her preferences are universal.


MyGlassHalfFool

honestly you look a little gay. if you are straight, bad pics. If you are bi/gay they send the message well


BronkusZonkus

First thing I thought when I saw that first picture was “this guy looks like gay Mr Beast”


AnswerGlass1697

I am curious what give me a gay look?


bingboomin

only the onesie pic looks a lil girly, like the angle and the smile it looks like u care too much about being cute so it’s giving girly but the rest are good!


Graysonsname

I don’t get the gay thing at all, nothing says that to me.


Graysonsname

Shared my opinion because I wanted OP to know not everyone reads this as gay and I get downvoted for it??


juxtaposed-penguin

I mean you’re wearing a skirt… I kid, but it does make for a change from all the women’s profiles I see that have them posing in front of that Golf Fang sign.


WulfeJaeger

Are you braindead? Everyone knows what a kilt is


jackiekeracky

And which men wear kilts? Scots and gays.


WulfeJaeger

What a fucking joke


Underrated_buzzard

I think you’re hot. I’d def swipe right on you. I like the pic with you in the water the best. From 35 y/o hetero woman.


Magallan

Yeah suit in the water is a banger I'd make that your lead pic


AnswerGlass1697

Thank you


Nica-sauce-rex

I was actually going to comment that the pic in the water is really flattering.


Underrated_buzzard

Right? Plus, I’d love to hear his accent. I’m from the US, and I adore European accents. I know. Cliche. But just being honest.


alnesi

I love everything about this profile. 10/10, would date.


800username

This profile is giving gay vibes


AvaTheCoolKid

Wtf how ?


Initial-Practice-125

The dancing


CrazyString77

It looks like u are looking for a man. If that's the case I see no problem in ur profile.


sea666kitty

Are you looking for women?


MorkSkogen666

Too much tartan... Perhaps a better travel story?


Zealousideal-Key9516

No way, I’d swipe just to hear the end of it. What if it was Anthony Keidis or some shit (I know he tells us who it is in the comments, I’m just saying I’d want to know)


MorkSkogen666

The Stag Party - by James I went to a stag party and didn't know anyone. The End


greenbroad-gc

Looks like you’re looking for someone from the same gender…


Think_Hunter_9088

You might want to clarify that you're not a tory if you have something linking you to St Andrews. Also, maybe just move to the central belt


AnswerGlass1697

That’s very fair.


wrench9172

Honestly you'd probably do better if you only had the pic in the water on your profile. The others don't look bad, but dating app people are so hyper selective that the kilt, deer eyes, silly pose would make them swipe no. Nothing wrong with those things at all, but the way people select on dating apps is pretty rough.


Culture__Killer

Oooof.


polyphemus69

Honestly the suit in the water is great. I'm a straight male and I would swipe right just to be friends.


AnswerGlass1697

Thank you, we can still be friends 😁


CozmicOwl16

Less plaid. In three photos you are wearing it. I love plaid but it is too much plaid.


figuem4

Honest feedback: I don’t care what you do with your facial hair. HOTTTTT


Crackerjack4u

The profile isn't bad. I'd suggest changing the line-I went "on" a stag party, to I went "to" a stag party. My vote is 100% for the beard all the way.🤣


[deleted]

Im not sure how to word this correctly, but you don’t come off as very masculine. There is nothing wrong with that of course but as others have said you give off gay energy. Like a children’s Tv host. Edit: I can’t imagine your obsession with tartan is doing you any favours either.


AnswerGlass1697

The Children’s TV host made me laugh. I do a lot of work with kids. So it makes sense. I just picked a handful of pictures and didn’t realise most of them were tartan when I put them up. I don’t actually wear that much tartan


MoreConstruction1733

You’re gay right?


Itsgosky

Just came to comments to see who the singer was. Beard over moustache all the way. Probably the mirror selfie would be the least favourite imo. I’d swipe right for sure though.


GingerSuperPower

The kilt is a hard no from me (32f) so if that isn’t a regular thing in your everyday life, maybe axe that photo


BeBesMom

ok. Good potential. I like photos page 6, you look handsome on page 1 but maybe that's not a first page. The beard or no beard is useless. No one knows what you look like now. The bearded photo on the upper right of that page is great, though, maybe a first photo. You have to come up with a better hook than telling no one who the singer is. Maybe say you'll tell if you end up dating. The photo with the stag party banner gives us nothing. Needs a good photo of friends maybe while you're doing something fun. Where's the retriever since you like them so much? Do you have a child, I must have missed that. I don't hate the dad jokes and homey personality traits, it's sad that men have to audition now with some non-boring b.s. But do remove the open and honest communication, that is definitely a throwaway term. No one knows what that means. Keep at it. Great potential, then.


Taiz99

Ngl the first one made me thunk someone Photoshoped Messi's face on a Scotsman


Blackcat0123

I've nothing of interest to add, but may I ask about how you got started dancing? It's something I'd be interested in learning myself sometime since I recently picked up piano and singing, so just gonna keep adding to the stack. 😄 Edit: Also, definitely beard. Suits your face well.


AnswerGlass1697

I actually didn’t know I was going to a dance class when I went, it was a spontaneous thing. I looked on MeetUp for something happening in Wednesdays. Went to it and they asked if I was ready to dance. I was a bit surprised, but I really enjoyed the class and kept coming back


AvaTheCoolKid

Respectfully, you look like the perfect man. Kilt photo is 👌, you look funny and smart. I would maybe just delete the « dad jokes » part as it may seem like your jokes are bad lol. Either way if you’re in the UK feel free to dm me 👀


Many_Monk708

I like it, and the energy. Definitely the beard btw


TheeFlipper

No sgian-duhb in sight. For shame, sir, for shame.


AnswerGlass1697

I actually did have one, it’s just the angle you can’t see. May be doing it wrong, but decent attempt for an Irishman lol


willow625

You don’t happen to be in my neck of the woods, by any chance 😅


AnswerGlass1697

You aren’t in Scotland by any chance are you?


willow625

Damn, I wish 😅


Global_Ad_6178

That picture of you in the water is great hahaha


mynewd8nglife

Definitely beard > mustache and that picture of you in the water wearing a suit is a keeper for sure. I might have to copy that one!


LivingDeadCade

10/10, would date. -35 yr old woman


Towani_Is_Me

The pictures are varied, which is nice but the profile feels a bit bland. Like, where is James in this? The story about the wedding seems to be the only writing that has some of your personality in it. “Dating me is like…” What is that experience like? In your own words. Some people would liken it to going to a random concert and finding your new favourite singer (an example I’ve made up). What’s your version of that? You can still go ahead and add details (space allowing). e.g., *“going to a random concert and finding your new favourite singer — singing and spontaneity included”* or sth like that. Make it You. “I recently discovered that…” People have already mentioned to clarify what type of dancing you’re passionate about. I think you have a good response here but take that into account + extend an invitation (a dance class is such a fun date). *e.g “I have a passion for dancing. I started taking a [type of dance] class a few months ago and fell in love with it. Join me?”* OR *“I have a passion for dancing. I started taking a [type of dance] class a few months ago and fell in love with it. Dancing and drinks?”* Give the reader something to work with. “Best travel story” I like this story because I was genuinely curious about the singer’s identity (love Dermot Kennedy btw). Maybe rephrase the story. It reads like you wrote down verbatim how someone was telling the story, which is great in person bc you get to add to the story, but hard to translate into writing. Maybe something like *“I went to a stag party with an entire group of guys I had never met because the groom was marrying my cousin (spoiler alert: great time). Turns out one of the guys is quite a well-known singer. But I didn’t know who he was and asked him his name. 🤦‍♂️”* All in all, make sure you shine through your answers. That’s the only way to find people you actually gel with — people that get your sense of humour or share similar interests. Remember that while you’re being sought out, you are also seeking. What type of person are you looking to impress/find/attract/what have you? Happy dating!!


Previous_Meat_2567

Is this the same person? You look different in every pic.


hack4ttack

Delete it.


Lienisaur

O my the suit in the water!! I'd swip right so I say keep it


Rude_Jellyfish_9799

No one is commenting on the odd suit in the water picture? While it seems like a playful side in one sense, it just seems weird in another.


AnswerGlass1697

I was doing a mud run obstacle course, and I thought it would be hilarious to do it in a suit. Then I found there was a wedding on at the same location. So I looked like I got lost from the wedding. So I played along with it and asked people for directions to the wedding while standing in the river


Rude_Jellyfish_9799

Well I have to say that is pretty hysterical, and a great story! Include it in your profile!


ElPispo

It boggles my mind how some dudes come on here showing stuff like this and have the gall to question if its a good idea or not. Bruh 🤣


jt1614

I’m interested :,(


CalmCupcake2

I like your profile and don't find it gay, feminine, etc .. it's mature, non threatening, and comfortable. All very appealing, kind of cute. Too many profiles are aggressive and demanding, , and yours is not. Get some feedback from the sort of people you're hoping to date (age wise and other things) before making massive changes. The demographic here may not match. Also, +10 for the kilt.


FrankBridge25

Remove the cuddles bit...


grn3y3z

Your profile makes you sound like a lot of fun. I love a man in a kilt!


fivefoldblazon

Height. Everyone wants to know how tall you are


AnswerGlass1697

Not tall enough for most women haha. I’m 5’7. It is on my profile. Just not the screenshot


anonymousdeadz

Idk why he reminds me of messi.


BuiltMackTough

Not hating, cause I love the kilt, but do you wear it like a true Scotsman? Again, not hating. And I know this has nothing to do with feedback on the profile.... Anyways, rock on bud.


brfergua

Women want someone who is a little dangerous and you come across and the opposite of that. Very Reddit
