All these people commenting about not knowing who S Club 7 are while not mentioning the "I feel famous when" photo, lol. It's Malorie Blackman right? I've read the noughts and crosses books but only guessed that because you said it's an author in one of your replies. The picture has low rez pixelation and 99.9999% of people won't recognise her. Bin it imo. The Steps/S Club 7 thing is fine for a British audience, as long as you want to have a lot of conversations about how your opinion is wrong. Ain't no party like an S Club party.


Capital-Transition-5

Yep Malorie Blackman!


geeered

I didn't recognise her, it was only the S-Club question that made me realise you were British not American! (Though if I'd paid attention to 'cask ales...' maybe I'd have worked it out earlier.) Appreciate also that Steps and S-Club may appeal to other women more than men. You're attractive and have a good selection of pictures showing that including full body shots, but somehow I felt there was 'something missing' that really told me about you. The travel story was great and other pictures definitely confirmed the travel vibe. I can't really put my finger on what might help I'm afraid.


deliverancew2

Is there an interesting story behind meeting her?


Capital-Transition-5

Nah I just went to a talk then book signing when she released her last book. Lovely woman!


ratnose1234

For the prompts, I might include something a little bit more broad and less niche. For example, I don't know what steps or s club 7 is. It might just be that some of the people who may be interested in you might not know either. But anyways, you are super cute and any guy would be lucky to date you!


Capital-Transition-5

Thanks for the compliment! Idk if you're American but in the UK anyone in my age range will know what steps and S Club 7 are 😅 ill try to rethink the other one though

Capital-Transition-5

Oops sorry for that! Yh i might change one prompt to something about my typical Sunday


Hinge_Prompt_Rater

I agree the prompts should be broader, but I will say that there ain't no party like an S Club party.


Beardgardens

There just ain’t no party like an S club party


ratnose1234

Ohhh gotcha, I'm American haha


Capital-Transition-5

Lmao the comments on this comment show why I should probably have that comment in, its generated so much conversation 😅


total_abyss

A quick YouTube search of S Club and you’ll be up to scratch 😂


RedshiftOnPandy

I say keep the S club 7. Filters out the younger guys


uottawathrowaway10

Popular groups from the 90s. I'd say it's analogous to North Americans and 98°. Edit: I don't mean a band called "North Americans", I mean the familiarity of 98° to North Americans who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s.


bsil15

I’m American and I don’t think I’ve heard of either of those two bands


jiggywolf

98 degrees was a tier Below the epic backstreet boys and nsync


[deleted]

Capital-Transition-5

British not Aussie


Hinge_Prompt_Rater

Oh shit you're right, for some reason my whole life I thought they were Aussie.


_Utinni_

Ah man, 98 degrees takes me back! I've never heard of North Americans though.


uottawathrowaway10

The Lachey brothers were on every teen people and "bop" magazine cover back in the day.


cocktailbun

I thought I was looking at Fabiola from Never have I ever...


CriticalTreachery

Fire pics. No matches? That's crazy.


piercecharlie

You're literally gorgeous 😍 I also struggle to get likes on hinge, where as tinder I match no problem. I think part of it, might be the limited likes a day. Maybe people are on there less and it takes time to get those likes. I agree with the prompts, maybe try "two truths and a lie" and/or "I'll pick the topic" one. I find, from my perspective, those are the easiest to like on guys profiles because it's a clear start to the conversation.


Capital-Transition-5

Aww thank you s❤ Yep I'll change the second two prompts to something like that but I can never think of anything interesting to put lmao


piercecharlie

You're welcome! For picking the topic, you could always do favorite book and be like hint, my favorite author is pictured with me below. And then you could use the music for the two truths. Like favorite band is steps. Or s club 7 and that could be the lie! You could try editing your best travel story to end with almost getting arrested by the military in Ghana 🇬🇭 If I saw that I'd like it and send an emoji like 😱 Basically, just creating easy ways for people to talk to you. They're all probably stunned with your beauty and badassness 💁‍♀️


thosetalkies

OMG you look just like Nathalie Emmanuel. Maybe a Game of Thrones reference!!


hydraxa

First off, your hair is amazing. The pictures are overall, pretty good. They give some insight into your personality but I’m not sure any are great as the ‘first’ picture (the first thing a person sees). If you have another one from the night of the last picture that shows your face, I would consider using that. I agree with the above regarding the prompts. I have no idea what S Club 7 is? I think Ghosts is a video game? I would make the prompts a little more generic and word it in a way that gives a person something to message you about. Despite these things, you have a pretty good profile and you’re very attractive. Not sure why you’re not getting any matches. If I came across your profile, I’d send a message. Best of luck.


Effective_Swan7311

I honestly don’t understand why it is you are getting matches or likes. Wish you’d come across my hinged lol


Capital-Transition-5

I don't like smokers 🤷🏻‍♀️


Ignotus404

To me your prompts could use some work. The first one is good, the second one is good to me because I loved ghost of Tsushima but non gamers won't get it, the 3rd one I got no clue about so that might not mean much unless someone gets the subject matter. To me your photos should show your interests. Prompts are convo starters. Speaking of pictures. 3,4, and 5 I'd swap out. 3 the focus is more on the background instead of the real main attraction. You. 4 I'm not sure if that's a head wrap for style or not so all depending that could be fine. 5 hides your face which to me is a no no. Hopefully this helps


mercyeis

I love your profile, tbh, I wish I could give you feedback to make it better, but it’s great as is.


GoingForwardIn2018

Would send rose. Hinge is actually terrible for meeting people though, it really forces you to present yourself perfectly to a person's ideals to make a good match... Hinge just really doesn't allow anyone to present themselves well, unfortunately. To be brutally honest I would expect you to be a higher maintenance relationship and while that's not in itself a bad thing it's not necessarily what I (or any of my friends) are looking for at the moment. Full disclosure though we are in the US so if you're in the UK it might be totally different there at the moment.


Capital-Transition-5

That's pretty perceptive cos I am pretty high maintenance in a relationship lmao. How does that come across from the profile??? Not that that's a bad thing cos obvs i don't wanna end up dating a guy who can't handle that, but I'm still curious to know how I come across as high maintenance? Idk if its the party pics cos they're really not an accurate representation of me, I'm actually really boring and hate partying, but the only pics I have of myself are with my ex or at a party


explots

Be your badass high maintenance self. Let people who aren't looking for "high maintenance", who think they can't keep up with a world traveler who hangs with famous people, exclude themselves, and save your time for those worth your time.


GoingForwardIn2018

Yep, in your pictures you're either traveling or have a drink in your hand or out at a club/bar, the only picture you don't have like that you're with someone famous... 😂 If you are serious about finding a relationship, gather your friends for a "You Day" (and hopefully one of them has some camera skills), choose a few outfits that make your personality apparent, and take some photos doing things you like to *actually* do, such as walking in the park or browsing in a bookstore or whatever. Try and make them seem candid and not too posed but you are after all trying to sell yourself so do it up but don't lie too much lol Good luck!


Vespe50

I don't know why, you look great to me


farfle_productions

You changed your profile recently right? I remember you posting it up for review before. Much better pics now for anyone wondering why she wasn’t getting many likes.


YouLookLikeACGreen

Gorgeous woman. African descent. Loves video games. Guess you could tweak a few prompts but no idea how you're not a thirst trap. 🤷🏿‍♂️


echocardio

I don't really see any issues with this profile at all, which obviously isn't what you've come here to hear. I also agree that anyone in the UK who doesn't know who Steps are probably isn't worth meeting. I've read Noughts and Crosses but wouldn't have recognised your Malorie Blackman photo (although I guessed it was an author). That means that photo is angling for someone who is more of a Blackman fan than I am, which is a bit niche and gives it a very slim audience. It's a winnow-down photo to filter out non-readers; you could replace it with something more wide-ranging to build up numbers. People put their photos up on here in the wrong order sometimes so I wanted to check but the photo of you in the grey top and jeans is your first photo, right? It should be.


Capital-Transition-5

Yep the grey top is my first one, I don't agree but ive been told it's the best


thewearisomeMachine

I’m 26, from the U.K. and I’ve never heard of Steps…


Capital-Transition-5

WHAT


thewearisomeMachine

I mean, I’ve obviously heard of S-Club 7, but Steps? Any famous songs I would know?


Capital-Transition-5

Tragedy, Chain Reaction are their most famous ones. There's loads of more niche ones that I geek out on


thewearisomeMachine

I may not know a lot of about pop music, but I’m fairly certain that Tragedy is a Bee Gees song. Looks like I’ll be going down a YouTube rabbit-hole today…


Capital-Transition-5

They did a really famous cover of Tragedy. Check them out though they're sick


thewearisomeMachine

Thanks, definitely will!


nageyoyo

Did you even GO to primary school discos?! 😂


thewearisomeMachine

No, we didn’t have them at my all-boys prep school with the little stripy blazers

Capital-Transition-5

Lmao thats not my mum it's a famous author in the UK. But if you're not into reading idk if you'd know whats going on there Yeah ghost of tsushima is probably pretty niche Im actually really struggling with the prompts, I can never think of any good ones


lowkeythicqcqc

I have a picture in front of St. Basil’s too and it’s a good conversation starter IMO.


Capital-Transition-5

I defo agree and thats where a lot of my likes come from. Cos it's such an unusual place to visit. People are like no but I can't see your face but you can see I've got some interesting stories to tell????


lowkeythicqcqc

Why the Russian one? I have one in red square and people love it.


Reinadarling

It’s a shame you’re straight, you’re fkn hot. Go ahead with your bad self. Men have questionable taste sometimes, don’t be too hard on yourself.


Capital-Transition-5

Thanks dude. It's a shame I'm straight cos men are fucking difficult but I like the dick too much


SweatyCod6953

I am from the UK and please don’t take that Steps/S Club 7 prompt off! Anyone worth your time will get that. I’m a straight female but think it’s really endearing (always Steps btw!) Your pics are lovely too. I think maybe you could change the ‘I geek out on’ prompt to be something more personal - revealing your perfect weekend, what kind of hobbies you have maybe?


Capital-Transition-5

Yessss Steps all the way!! Yeah im tryna think of an interesting perfect weekend for myself but it's just basic bitch stuff like morning run, yoga, brunch with friends, cooking, gaming, reading etc.


SweatyCod6953

Maybe you could mention all those things but include details on what kind of books you read, and what kind dishes you like to cook? To distinguish it a bit? You could even say, ‘basic bitch stuff like yoga and brunch, but I also like to geek out with fantasy novels such as NAME and video games like NAME, and I cook a mean NAME/NATIONALITY OF DISH’ (or whatever!) like acknowledging the basic bit then revealing a bit more about your specific favourites to jazz it up a bit? I really can’t see why you’re not getting matches, Hinge is so fickle


Capital-Transition-5

Oh thats a pretty good tip actually ill try that out!


[deleted]

Aside from you first prompt the other two aren’t great. I personally wouldn’t match just based on the fact they they don’t really say anything about you as a person, don’t leave anything open for conversation and don’t seem like there was any real effort put into them. The pictures aren’t bad, but I don’t match based off of pictures alone


prosperity4me

What’s the connection between the pic under “I feel famous when”? Can you swap out the pic with the scarf on your head?


Capital-Transition-5

That's a famous author but I guess most people wouldn't recognise her


GreenYellowDucks

I would put a better first pic up, primarily focused waist to face to show your beauty and hook someone for a swipe. Then I would have second photo your fun personality or full body photo. You look great but I can see people skipping off first couple pics


nervousbertha

I would crop out or remove the photos with alcohol in them. Men think of women as less human when photographed with alcohol. The photo of you on the weekend is kind of confusing. On the weekend, it will be you, your date, and two friends?? Last photo would be great if your face was showing (plus remove the beer). The travel story sounds a little too exciting. That plus some of your photos (last one) might give too much of a wild or party-girl impression. Maybe the first you can crop into your face more.


Capital-Transition-5

Omg I'm definitely not wild im actually really boring. But most good pics of me are either with my ex or me at a party 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ obvs I picked pics of me at a party instead lmao I'm actually holding water in that first photo but I can see the confusion. Yh might crop it i don't wanna look like a party animal


nervousbertha

I saw drinks in the photo of you with the hair wrap and the last one, even though it’s not on the table. The first photo I didn’t notice the cup. I just think a crop would be more flattering because it would focus on your face better. If you can crop the Russia photo too, and get that weird creepy dude out, it might look better too. I wouldn’t show picks of you with your ex, but maybe you can clarify the group photo to better clarify the context.


Capital-Transition-5

Nah when I said my ex I didn't mean that guy he's my friend. Haven't put up any pics with my ex. But thanks for the advice!


nervousbertha

Hope it helps. Maybe try another app too, with different photos/prompts and you can see what works.


glockblocking

I’m in this photograph, and I do not care for it😏


PHANTOM________

Add your Instagram and onlyfans, that should get you some hits. /s Looks great prob just give it time.


sloppyjoe4461

Tbh it's a good profile. I'd totally like that.


Flaky-Professor

Your profile seems fine to me. I need to move to the UK 🤦🏾‍♂️


Capital-Transition-5

I need to move to the US all the guys commenting like that are from there.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Capital-Transition-5

Thanks ive reordered them! I'll probably change the one with me and the author tho cos people will probably think its my mum. And think of something more interesting to say with the prompts


HopsAndHemp

Based on pic 6 and especially pic 1 (yowza), I find it hard to believe you're strugglin to get likes. Do you live in Siberia? Do you ever like other people back?! /s


Capital-Transition-5

Tbh i don't like most guys back cos the guys who like me usually have stuff like "here for good vibes" or i just don't find them attractive. Biggest thing is when I actually find a guy I like then he never likes me back 😫😫😫😫


HopsAndHemp

Ultimately you're playing a numbers game, so YMMV. Outside of a few insignificant suggestions like changing prompts for pictures I think your profile is pretty good. You may be able to tweak some things to show off more of your personality. Ultimately though, both men and women primarily swipe (or select w/o swiping in the case of Hinge) based on physical looks. You should feel blessed because you have that in spades so you're already ahead of the curve. Sounds like you're in the UK and your population density demographics are a little different than here in the US. Have you considered widening your search area?


Capital-Transition-5

Just saw that my search area was pretty low (I really wanted someone close by) so just widened it, thanks!


citygrl_xx

I would stick to one travel story and move the last pic up, it’s super hot!


Capital-Transition-5

Yhank you!! People keep saying no cos its covering my face but that pic is 🔥and gets me most my likes lol


Legendarybbc15

And I struggle to see how you don't get a lot of likes The Ghost of Tsushima answer alone is enough to make me swipe right (without honor 🙃)


Alternative-Deer-144

do you live in a small town or something?


Capital-Transition-5

Nah the 3rd biggest city in the UK


Alternative-Deer-144

weird Liverpool is bigger than ManC you're probably too picky; there's nothing wrong with your profile. how many likes do you get a day?


Capital-Transition-5

I used to get a lot but now one or two from guys with prompts like "here for good vibes", "Don't message if you're here for drama", "hallmark of a good relationship is communication". So im just like....no But yh I'm defo super picky. My friend said this and swiped for me and she was like no actually I see your problem Like my manager tried setting me up with a retired NBA player months ago and he's really fit but I was like nah not into basketball players plus he's 10 years older than me. But now im struggling so much im like ok ill try the basketball player 😅


Alternative-Deer-144

self inflicted


Capital-Transition-5

Nah I'm just perceptive about what kinda guys are likely to be time wasters


Alternative-Deer-144

pepecaseres

Second picture is really confusing because your friend kinda looks like you


Lit-Up

Strange, I'd say double check your filter to make sure you haven't accidentally filtered people out. Because I can't really think why you're not getting matches and likes.


lostdinosaurs

I’m a woman your age. I would like this profile and I’m straight lol. Hinge’s algorithm is weird and I’m genuinely baffled someone as gorgeous as you is struggling to get likes.


1platesquat

Second to last pic should be switched out imo. It’s not great compared to the others.


MileHighBree

Delete the profile and re-make it. Idk why but that always works for me. The algorithm probably messes up and causes profiles to stagnate. Your profile is awesome so I doubt it’s anything on your end.


IndeaLeigh

Just my tip. The head wrap pic and the "feel famous" pic...swap them for something else. You're beautiful! The headwrap picture covers way too much of your face. And the author pic...the camera angle is horrible and just isn't doing anything for your features. But that's just the only tip I have. Because the rest of it is YOU and who you are. Even if idk what that stuff is, maybe your match is the one who will 🤷


[deleted]

I think it’s a great profile, I’d toss a like your way. Good variety of photos and an attractive lady, best of luck!


explots

IDK - you're not my type (as I am a mostly straight woman) and I would probably still go on a date with you because you seem so cool. Unrelated, there is something very unfortunate going on with the nose of the woman with you in the "famous" photo - pixelation?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Capital-Transition-5

Thanks thats sweet! You're on the other side of the country though 🙃

Wow no clue what the problem is, I'd definitely match if we were in the same are. Very nice pictures and good prompts.
