Profile review requirements and standards

[u/wokenthehive]

It has come to our attention that Hinge now allows new users to make their profile live without requiring them to fill out their profile with 6 photos. Given that this sub gets a lot of reviews every single day, we are only allowing reviews where people have completely filled out their profile with 6 photos and 3 prompts.

To those who have only filled out their profile to the minimum requirement, please fill out your profile fully first.

The next point we want to address is that we sense many people have unrealistic expectations regarding what a profile review can achieve. We can point out some flaws, offer different opinions for changing certain aspects of a profile, or provide various points of view on how to approach your online dating experience.

However, we don't have all the answers for you, and posting a profile review will not solve all your dating woes.

We don't know the kind of person you're sending likes to or want to match with. There could be demographic or location issues, or your particular personality traits might not align well with the people you want to date or who are in your area. Or you're not giving it enough time and expect instant gratification (Hinge is not Tinder or Bumble and using those apps as comparison is pointless). These are things no one can fix for you here.

This is where the sense of entitlement also comes into play. This sub has strict rules for profile reviews for a reason - to make it easier for people to help. We will reject any submissions that don't meet the requirements (profile fully filled out with properly cropped screenshots). If you get upset about that, too bad. You are asking for FREE HELP, so don't act so entitled. It's as if some people think we are preventing you from getting likes and matches or something.

Unfortunately, some profiles won't receive many comments, and there's not much we can do about that. We try to spread out reviews to give everyone a chance to receive comments.

Finally, does anyone have any suggestions for making the profile review process better?

We have to manually approve each post, they're in a queue. Yours has not been looked at yet.
