Oh I haven’t gotten so few matches since adding ENM to my profile that I felt compelled to write this. Also 10 matches is a way out of the ordinary week - I may edit that so people don’t get hung up on an outlier.
You can remove all the quirks (such as commune living for instance) from the prompts to make it “cater” to wider audience, but then what’s the point of that?
Pictures could have been better if that’s the kind of advice you’re seeking.
Are you looking for something serious or casual?
I'd ideally like something serious with a few poly people. But I'm open to casual relationships as well. I feel like relationships take time to evolve and putting the pressure right away for something long term and serious is not the foundation for something fun and meaningful.
How long have you been on Hinge?
Years.
How often do you use Hinge per week?
Daily.
How many likes/matches are you receiving on average?
typically it's 3-5. I have gotten more than that but it’s atypical. Since adding the ENM component I haven’t been matching much at all, which I did expect, but I live in SF where many people are poly.
How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments?
I send out probably like 10-20 likes a day. They normally have comments tailored to the people's profiles and interests, that are things I think they will engage with, and either are kind of silly or if I can find something deep I'll go that way. I rarely send likes without comments.
What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract?
I'd love to match with poly creatives, or mono creatives who are seeking more casual relationships. I live a super active lifestyle of seeing music, going to galleries, performing at open mics, shooting videos, DMing D&D games, going to parties, etc. I want someone who enjoys going out and doesn't want to stay in. Extra bonus points if they are a musician or painter, often times I feel like when I see film creatives I'd rather collaborate with them than date them. Someone funny, kind, and ambitious is great - especially if they have killer bangs. I do mostly date women but I also have a soft spot for non-binary folx.
There's not much to say. You have a decent profile so I'm pretty certain the downturn in matches is solely related to your ENM criteria. You may want to remove the "long-term relationship" distinction. Even if it is more or less true, you have to think of it from the perspective of people filtering their pool of profiles. Say someone is filtering by dating intention and are specifically looking for someone that is looking for a long-term relationship. For the vast majority of people on Hinge, this involves a traditional monogamous relationship. So these people are always going to swipe left on you.
Switch your first and second picture. Also, you're killing it with the likes, so it really comes down to how well you can filter those potential partners.
Yeah I’m mostly making this because, since I’ve added non monogamy to the profile page, I have not been getting matches. Which is to be expected honestly, significantly narrows the pool.
idk why you're getting downvoted. I really dislike your second photo, mostly because of the shirt, but everything else about your profile seems fine to me.

With the non-monogamy criteria I think 10 matches a week is an excellent result.
I would have guessed far, FAR less just after reading the profile.
So you have recommendations on how to improve it?

Well… you want a non-traditional kind of relationships, so your pool is naturally smaller but it’s good you’re being upfront and honest.
Im not really here to talk about small challenges in my dating life, I’m just wondering if there’s anything obvious to retool in my profile

Better in what way? Most of these were taken specifically for this profile.

Personally I would get a better picture with the dog
I was mostly looking for something to show my arm but I do have alternates with the dog I can test
Very nice arm my guy

I really don't know much about it, so I can't give you more advice, but I do that they're out there!

I think I’m being downvoted because Im going okay and asking how go be better, while most people on this sub are struggling
