My experience on Hinge seems very different from most women

I’m constantly reading that the typical experience for women on Hinge is to get hundreds and hundreds of likes just being a woman on the app, since men dramatically outnumber women. Social media is rife with stories about how women can hardly keep up with their matches and conversations because they’re so numerous. This is not my experience. 🥲 I am sadly only getting maybe a couple likes per day? I’m also not getting many matches on profiles I like. It’s starting to mess with my head a bit, like damn am I that unattractive or something?

I’m not saying I’m entitled to hundreds of likes or anything, and I know it’s harder for men on the apps, it’s just the vast difference in my experience and what the supposed default experience is for women on Hinge, regardless of attractiveness level, that’s making me wonder if something is wrong or off-putting about my profile.

Would love some thoughts about my profile that might help? My age range is set to a few years below and above me, and my distance is set to 10 miles. I live in a fairly large city (Austin). I change my photos and prompts up a lot but it hasn’t seemed to make a difference (all my photos are recent btw). I suppose my age could be a factor, but if I’m seeing these profiles it means they have my age in their preferred age range so I don’t really get it

I hate to say this, but hinge x works (for me)

(25M)
I really don't want this to sound like a Hinge ad, seriously, but here's my experience with Hinge X after literally 1 day.

Yesterday, Hingex was on a 75% sale for one month, and I said why not. Now usually I get 1-2 matches a week if im lucky, it is brutal to even get women to talk or on a date because of such low volume. Legit didn't really believe that I was an attractive guy because of dating apps, I just tossed it up to my face card not outweighing my height halo (6'4) in person.

Anyway, It has not even been 24 hours and I have gotten 9 matches, a couple from like a month ago matched, and about half I swiped on in the past day have matched, but I wouldn't be surprised if more will match throughout the rest of the day, hell, in the next hour.

Im just in disbelief, like I spent years with shit luck on these apps, a profile I thought was good, doubting my supposed attractiveness as a man, and all it took was a day of hinge x to let the floodgates open? They were seriously putting my ass at the back of the line.

Keep in mind my profile and location has literally not changed at all.

I'm legit struggling to keep up with all of them. Also, for some reason, I'm now also starting to be matched with women I find more attractive too.

Again, not an add, just my experience, and from what I've read on other guys posts this happens to some of us, not sure about others.

What has been your experience?

23M Profile Review

Well, it's come to this. Been on dating apps on and off for years, with mixed success. Never really gotten more than a couple of matches a week, and more recently, nothing at all. I feel like I've tried everything from making the profile more targeted to different photos, so now I'd like some honest feedback on where I'm going wrong. It's really starting to hit my self esteem and i don't think i'm *that* bad looking that i can't at least appeal to someone on this app.

I'm aware of the lack of detail on the Job front, however i work in the military so i often play with having this on and off, usually on. I always bring it up early in conversation if it's not on there, but i don't want to attract/put off people purely because of first impression on the profile. I've hidden my location for my own privacy, but i'm in Southern England.

The voice prompt is me asking for the listener that i'd like to hear about a hobby or interest they've got. I've very recently added it as i heard it's a good move, and i've often been told i have a nice voice.

What i'd really like to know is:

  1. What vibe is the profile giving off, and why is it proving so off-putting?

  2. Are the pictures the problem, and if so, which ones/what am i missing?

  3. What changes do i need to make, thinking appealing to women who want a LTR

  4. Am i cooked? I.e is it something out of my control: I'm ugly, wrong vibe, wrong age whatever

Thanks guys!

New to this - What do I do when I'm no longer interested?

For context and to be compliant with the automod thingy I'm 26M, straight and matching with women in the Midwest. I've never really given online dating a try until recently, and I'm struggling to understand what is expected socially when we match and have our intro conversations but I realize they're not the right person for me.

Is it okay to just leave the conversation on read if I'm not vibing anymore? Should I unmatch them? If I unmatch, should I gently explain why? I want to be kind and respectful of these women's time and hearts but I also don't want to be locked into a convo after I know I'm not interested, or lead them on by continuing to give replies.

I don't know if it's considered an "asshole" move to unmatch without saying anything, so I'd like some input (preferably from women) on how to be a gentleman when this happens.

I've been told my profiles on other apps aren't great already, but what issues can you all spot? 21M in Central Victoria, Australia

I'm already aware I need less about bowling and better photos, I basically haven't updated it much since I first made it a few months ago, I just figured I'd get advice before I try to fix it all myself.

M24 no matches at all, any advice?

Prompts are in order:

Instead of grabbing drinks, let’s…

Go bowling. Loser buys ice cream.

Try every dish at an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant, then rank them.

Go to a secondhand bookstore and pick a random book for each other.

PICTURE 1: The most exotic place I’ve visited

You should leave a comment if…

You like:

Going to the cinema without knowing anything about the film

Anything creative or nerdy

Baking sweet treats—especially cookies

Exploring the city

Filling your bookshelf with novels

Watching sitcoms (How I Met Your Mother, The Office)

Pizza

PICTURE 2: My weakness

PICTURE 3: My good side

PICTURE 4: You love cats because…

My greatest strength

I’ll eat pretty much anything. Not happy with what you ordered? I’m happy to swap. Want to take the pickles out of your burger? My plate’s ready. Think your food’s poisoned? I’ll taste it first.

Together, we could…

Share our favourite music. I love discovering new artists, and I’d love to hear your favourites. Some of mine are Nirvana, Fabrizio De André, Oasis, Rkomi and Radiohead.

PICTURE 5: Guess where this photo was taken

PICTURE 6 (actually a video of an Oasis Song) An Oscar-worthy video

Hinge puts men in my standouts and then frequently puts them in the most compatible?

I'm just trying to understand the algorithm here and why it's saying these men would be most my type so hinge is putting them in rose jail (monetizing), but then are offering them sans rose jail?

Has this been happening to anyone and I'm trying to deduce what hinge understands about me/how it's evaluating my behavior or if this is just random.

It's happened with 10+ men now.

I don't know if context matters here but 36F Chicago, no kids.
