A few months back I posted a profile review and got some good feedback! https://www.reddit.com/r/Bumble/s/eSuxEJLrRF

Here's my current profile that been open for a little over two weeks. I know its not perfect but I'm getting some matches and have had some dates and have a few more lined up! I'm still working on myself with weight loss and really everything

I'm posting this as

1- a thank you to those who helped and commented on my first post

2 - to show that not conventionally attractive men can improve their profiles and get more attention with some effort

Feedback for the current profile can also be put here, I like the gist of it but am open to suggestions. Fingers crossed one of my dates turns into something serious 🤞

Update:

Some dates were good, some were bad, one was fantastic with an even better second date. I've stopped swiping now and am focusing on her exclusively, wish me luck!

Also for some of the comments, yeah being attractive is very essential. I'm sure you guys can get more matches, I'm not trying to get the most, I'm just trying to find the one. The main point of this post was to compare and contrast the current profile to the old one. Thanks for the kind words!

Update 2: She's amazing and we're official now! If I can do it so can you guys!!!

34M, have spent most of my life alone and feeling completely unloveable. Recently got out of a toxic relationship where I felt like I was just the unwanted, safe settle the entire time. Trying online dating again after finishing residency; but getting only a few likes and no dates. Feeling pretty hopeless and sad right now, despite doing everything I can, and could use some advice on to make my profile better!

Also, any tips on how to actually find women in the real world to date would be super helpful. I don’t like going to clubs or approaching people in pubs who are out with their friends or family as I don’t want to be rude and encroach onto people’s personal time with their loved ones.

Sometimes it feels like the only option is dating apps or getting lucky by bumping into someone I happen to walk past down the street or in town. So any tips or pointers would be awesome! Thanks guys.

Edit: Due to so many comments regarding this issue, I want to explain the 'apolitical' tag on my profile. My intention when saying I am 'apolitical' was to put across the fact that I don't want to be engaging in politics with people I match with before even getting to know them. I don't describe myself as apolitical in general life, only on the dating app. And this is due to an interaction I had with someone who immediately started asking my 'what do you think about _____ and why?' before even getting to know me. I find it exhausting. I am not apolitical in the sense that I have no political stance, and I see now that by putting it on my profile, I'm grossly misrepresenting what I actually believe and stand for. I've said this in some of my replies, but this has been staggeringly eye opening for me. And this post has absolutely been successful from that standpoint. I'm grateful and surprised so many people have taken their time to give their opinions as it's given me a truckload of stuff to think about and reconsider regarding my profile.

I reuploaded this after changing my bio!! For some reason I can't seem to edit my og post😭

Can you guys give me some advice on how I could improve my profile? I honestly think it's not good. I think the pictures are bad and I'm not so sure about my bio or prompts either.

I suspect most people immediately swipe past when they see the wheelchair but I still think I should make my profile as good as possible.

I've been divorced for 3 years, and I'm finally ready and willing to get into the dating game. I was previously married to a high school sweetheart, so I've really got no idea what to do/expect. I just slapped this profile together last night.

I'd love a critique; particularly on the photos!

Getting older, a little more self conscious and not really sure how to do this anymore. Had a friend select my best photos, few I feel don't look like me, but I think I just don't look at myself often. Open to thoughts

*I have edited my pants. the fcc would be proud thanks all.

Looking for a long term partner and recently out of a relationship. I'd love feedback on photo choices and prompts. Looking for someone with similar values (liberal) and a few overlapping interests - likes the outdoors, music etc. Constructive criticism welcome!

Hi I’m wondering if anyone could give there thoughts if my profile is good. Thanks in advance.

I am 39 and consider myself below average in facial looks, but I try to pay close attention to personal style, clothing, and overall presentation.

In Bumble I get a fair bit of attention, but I want objective feedback on how to refine it further. I want to see what is working well, what comes across as flat, and where small adjustments in photo order or removal could raise the overall quality of my profile.

Current Bio:

I have a degree in Drug Design and Synthesis, an ex-scientist turned desk slave, I love trying new things, going to new places, meeting randoms and chowing down on smoked eel.

I'm into art, both appreciation and creation, music, singing, dancing(hip hop), theatre and exploring the world.

Yesterday I made the mistake of looking at my swipe data, not much more to say about it other than wow.. what a gut punch.

I’m looking for any advice on what I can change or update with my profile.

I’m aware the top responses will likely be to lose weight and shave my head. You’re welcome to tell me both of those again, but if anyone has any other insights, I’d love to hear them.

I am mostly experiencing challenges matching with women. So a perspective from any bi/gay women out there would be much appreciated.

My profile says “California transplant trying to meet new people and make a solid connection! Recent epidemiology grad student (lover of ologies but especially entomology and herpetology), all things wild, summer nights out with good people, scuba/surfing buddies, and interested in getting to know what motivates people.””

Edit: I’m getting a lot of comments about the septum ring. I do not want to attract people who aren’t into piercings/tattoos. I like alt-leaning people who also have piercings and tattoos. So this is a non-issue and if you don’t like them then we wouldn’t probably vibe anyways.

Edit 2: This has been very unhelpful because its equally tied 😂, I’m going with the 1st because it shows my tattoo and people have good points about that being more demonstrative of me and who I am.

I’ve gotten two dates out of bumble so far.

Like the title says, please help me with my profile. 34 in 10 days and just not getting many matches or shown the women I'd like.

31F — not getting many likes and recently got told my profile comes across quite mellow/laid-back. Curious if that’s actually the impression it gives or if there’s anything I should change. Honest feedback welcome!

Recently moved from Connecticut to Florida and I seem to be getting a lot less interaction on my profile. Honesty appreciated but please don’t be too mean 🥲

For the past two years I’ve posted my dating profile in different subreddits, mostly to mess with guys, all in jest though.

However, I come to you this evening (my time) with a sincere request for feedback. This year has been a major flop dating wise. I even lost my copy of the literally masterpiece Grendel by John Gardner to a guy who was good in bed but not THAT good.

Please tell me what is wrong with me and how can I fix it. It’s getting cold in Chicago and I’d like to watch movies with someone I don’t hate.

I haven’t asked for one of these in a while and wanted to see if there were any improvements I could make. I’m getting some likes and dates.

Edit: first photo wasn’t my decision. I have “best photo” turned on. I set the green smiling photo as my first photo.

I realized that over time I’ve been getting less and less matches. I know I’m not the stereotypical blonde beauty queen. I am quite alternative and I want to stay that way, but I’m still questioning if my profile is a turn off or if I’m just not attractive enough. I’m also questioning if men are even into women older than 27 and if that is maybe an issue. Please don’t be too mean 🥺

25M, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Ive spent 8 years with lifetime premium on bumble so far alongside hinge, tinder, fb, etc etc, you get the picture. Here is profile review number 6 or 7, one of the 2.

Old bio, though fine, wasnt working, so adding some stuff that I usually wouldnt to try and play with the idea that I dont know everything and what I think might be a bad idea might be what I'm missing. Counterintuitive, but what I thought was good isnt working, so well change it monthly again.

And screw it, have some old/unused photos that I wouldnt necessarily use but, well, what I have been using doesnt work either so why not. Everything past slide 6 (photo 5) is NOT in the profile, and are simply alternatives or very old photos (Ive had a beard for 3 years now, for example)

I’ve posted on this sub before but I think I deleted it. I checked my stats and they were poor

Incoming yes: 476
Incoming no: 2060

I’m very introverted. No partying or nightlife.

Have been separated for half a year, still going through the divorce. Getting 1-2 matches per week (with Bumble Boost) but zero messages.

All photos are genuine, only the last one I photoshopped my future ex wife out of the photo.
