I would say you’re perfect except since all of your answers are jokes, it doesn’t feel fully genuine.

Like the non-negotiable question, I think you should answer earnestly. That’s a super quick chance to filter compatibility issues off rip.

You’re super funny though and I would 100% swipe right!

46

u/Ill-Abies-3169 6h ago

Oh the opposite for me! I loved all the jokes and def would swipe right based on answers. I’ll be honest that the “non-negotiable” answer went over my head/ didn’t quite make sense how it was formatted perhaps

u/HopelessAllo 6h ago

It's a reference to Ratatouille, the Disney movie.

u/Pristine-Skirt117 5h ago

I love the jokes too! I wasn’t criticizing them, just that -all- the answers were jokes is all 😅

u/Car3poin 6h ago

Its ok. This is not bumble.

u/Technical-Method2129 6h ago

It’s not that deep…. They can get to know him irl

1

u/Mazilulu 6h ago

It’s true. He’s interested in short term anyway

1

u/Ocean_Spice 4h ago

Where did it say that?

1

u/Mazilulu 4h ago

Ooops! I got that wrong. My bad

1

u/SleevieSteevie 5h ago

Read again - he wants long-term

1

u/Mazilulu 4h ago

Oh shoot- you’re right! Sorry OP!

u/mizzlol 6h ago

I’d let you ruin my life when I was younger 🤷🏼‍♀️ but based on looks alone. I agree that the answers need more of a mixture of serious and goofy.

27

u/sugar-magnolia 6h ago

Exactly 😂 my younger self would have made allllll the bad decisions for this man

u/MeringueLegitimate42 6h ago

Right? Hot but also nerdy, tattoos but pink pants, and cooks. Hell yeah.

u/Rx_Diva 6h ago

Dog and full smile pic...

u/BibbleSnap 7h ago

I think the jokes that say nothing about you are not helpful. At least the Lord of the Rings one tells me you like fantasy movies and I could have a start a conversation on that. What does the Therapist line give me to work with?

Pics are good though. The pool one doesn't do you justice tho so I would switch it out. Solidly better than the average male profile though.

28

u/MangoStrudel 6h ago

He went to therapy. That’s actually better insight then watches movies for 12h straight

9

u/BibbleSnap 4h ago

Did he though? Because I wouldn’t assume that he did based on that joke since it is so unrealistic. But maybe thats just my bias

1

u/Gold_Amount295 4h ago

I wouldn't assume he went to therapy based on that weird therapy joke.

2

u/Metallic_Sol 2h ago

maybe it's my area, but tons of guys use LOTR extended edition jokes so I would change that. feels super unoriginal.

2

u/Ill-Abies-3169 6h ago

That he’s funny. One of the top things I look for in a guy, someone who can make me laugh

1

u/pyrotechnicnotmania 5h ago

Makes someone think about his eyes

15

u/Overall_Panic_5652 7h ago

I like your profile. It shows your personality and the pictures are good. I think you’ll get a decent number of matches!

24

u/goblin_grovil_lives 7h ago

You aren't my type, but I'd roll the dice with humour like that. Plus wearing salmon in public shows confidence.

24

u/via1228 7h ago

I would ditch the first photo or at least move it. The lighting or something makes you look like you are balding

9

u/LFOME 7h ago

From my dude-ass perspective, its way better than mine, and I've been matching like a mofo. Good luck, boss

10

u/Financial-Site3506 6h ago

Three things. I don’t particularly like the first picture. Doesn’t do much for you, so I’d change it out for a better one. Also, your second two answers (the nonnegotiable and the therapist) are not doing it for me. They don’t tell me anything about you. At the very least, change the nonnegotiable answer. That’s my advice!

6

u/notgreat1228 6h ago

Make at least one of your answers actually sincere. Some jokey ones are great, but right now it’s coming off like you’re not taking the process seriously, etc. I also think your first photo should be the one of you with the dog.

8

u/struanrobinson 7h ago

Too many attempts at being funny. I’d stick to just one.

4

u/HaifischNikezz69 7h ago

Pool picture isnt good with all the others imo

8

u/EcstaticNature96 6h ago

Uh where are we located bc you’re a 10/10 and I’d swipe so damn fast 😂☺️

2

u/EcstaticNature96 6h ago

Sorry, a ‘yes, please’ swipe is what I’d do 🫡

20

u/Gold_Amount295 7h ago

Pictures are pretty good.
The therapist line is cringe on many different levels.

8

u/Exam-Master 7h ago

I like the therapist line I didn't like any of the others

3

u/6BagsOfPopcorn 4h ago

The duality of man

u/19-inches-of-venom 7h ago

It’s great. You’re great. I wouldn’t change anything

3

u/Wollers-eye 6h ago

You look like great fun, but your profile doesn't really say anything about you - I'd want to know a bit more about your interests and lifestyle to know if it's worth matching

3

u/HopeSuper 6h ago

The prompts are hilarious, I could totally reply something funny. As someone else said, maybe maybe put some infos that could be a line opener on common hobbies. But I love this profile.

3

u/ThrowRArainmakers 6h ago

im such a sucker for guys like this, but i know my red flags when i see em- sports investor

3

u/MeringueLegitimate42 6h ago

I love everything about this profile.

u/stinkybrainman 5h ago

+1 for the bilmuri shirt

u/Lil_Nach0 5h ago

Keepin it beefy

5

u/Historical-Apple8440 6h ago

You look like you struggle with self worth from the pics and comedic lean you have 

2

u/215ls 7h ago

I'd absolutely super swipe on you

2

u/Feetdownunder 6h ago

The 4th pic first
The 3rd pic second
The last pic third
The first pic 4th

Maybe remove the selfie or put it last

u/mreowmix 6h ago

Is watching Rings of Power off the table because my Tinder says this: “We’re the same type of weird if…you watch everything Middle Earth related in chronological order (yes including Rings of Power😤)”

3

u/Laxku 6h ago

I know it isn't perfect, but I honestly like RoP.

2

u/mreowmix 6h ago

Right? I’m not a purist and I know it bothers some people quite a lot but I thought it was a really beautiful show

2

u/DumbPhat 4h ago

No notes. You look sexy and funny 

2

u/Howudooey 4h ago

Not single or interested in men, but v interested in LOTR

2

u/Missedallthesigns 2h ago

Your pics are great and you seem like a fun guy. But you're trying a little too hard with all the jokey answers and they aren't telling me all that much about you. Good luck finding your girl. 

3

u/Passerbye1991 6h ago

The performative male vibes might be too strong

2

u/Consistent_Height748 5h ago

Are you looking to date a man or woman?

1

u/dialecticallyalive 2h ago

It clearly says bisexual.

2

u/PreAmbleRambler 4h ago

Okay the beautiful eyes comment paired with the sunglasses pic got me. XD

OP my feedback is you're handsome af, but the first pic looks oddly older than the rest?

1

u/Mushrooming247 6h ago

I think you were going to slay at this because you have a confident air, but you should give potential matches more information to work with to see if they would have fun with you and share your interests.

1

u/Technical-Method2129 6h ago

You’ll do well on the apps…. Unless someone wants the delicious meal and won’t be mean to you

1

u/yourladybosss 6h ago

Looks good to me 😊

1

u/SeaCaterpillar7968 6h ago

I would marry you if I was single

u/Flayrah4Life 6h ago

I'd like to see something serious - a serious or thoughtful answer - but you are witty and based on the LOTR alone I'd message you.

1

u/LockedOutOfElfland 5h ago

You have a good sense of humor. That's an excellent foundation imo.

1

u/soyhada 5h ago

This is great, no notes you'll do fine 👌

1

u/butters_bottom_bishh 4h ago

I feel like I am in the minority in thinking that I have no notes on written stuff - I would swipe right and message first SO fast. First pic and pic with the dog are great, I would swap the rest for pictures without sunglasses and same level of quality as the first pic.

Seriously, I see so little creativity when it comes to men’s bios, this is a breath of fresh air. Being playful and not taking yourself too seriously are such green flags for me.

1

u/Only-Acanthaceae4790 4h ago

this is a weird one but i have that same shaggy dog sweater and have gotten very mixed comments from woman 😩

1

u/Titzpatrick 4h ago

10/10 would swipe right

1

u/WiltedEnthusiasm 4h ago

You’re funny and cute. I’d swipe for sure. I’d be looking for the messages to show me some depth or what you’re passionate about in terms of values and beliefs, or at the very least we would get into during the first date. But people’s values and beliefs, and politics, are incredibly important to me.

As an opener to get a convo started though? I think you’re good to go. Have fun!

1

u/MDrok6172 3h ago

If we were closer in age would definitely swipe right

1

u/WyattHMB 3h ago

I think you’re in a good position to attract people who appreciate your sense of humor. I would have swiped right on this.

1

u/anonletsrock 3h ago

I'd definitely support a better F1 team 😉😂

1

u/chaleybaby 3h ago

If you weren’t so young, I’d be all over that 😄

u/AwakeningTheSpirit 2h ago

Random question for OP. In the photo that your facing the camera, it looks slightly like the flash reflected a red eye and the other looks white.

Have you seen an optometrist lately?

When both eyes don't reflect the same color, it could indicate health issues with one if your eyes. Especially if it is a common occurrence you notice in photos of yourself. If you don't typically notice that in photos it is probably nothing. But if you do notice that it is often the case then it might be worth getting a check up with your optometrist.

1

u/Graysonsname 2h ago

I like the eyes one, light covert wat to mention having pretty eyes and going to therapy- both alluring

1

u/No-Equivalent5180 1h ago

a vibe although i hate the slides

1

u/Rich-Cellist8558 1h ago

You’re cute and funny, you’ll do fine. Echoing some other comments, maybe throw in a serious answer or two. But I think this is a great gauge of your personality with nice pictures.

1

u/cyaneyed 1h ago

You’re beautiful and your profile is funny and well written. You’ll have a smart sexy partner in no time.

1

u/effervescentcryptid 1h ago

The photo with the pink pants looks like you’re balding. If the other photos are representative of your current hairline and that one is just bad lighting, remove it and lead with peace signs or gray sweater. Or even better, take a (non-mirror) photo smiling with teeth and use that.

u/babydoll17448 50m ago

Get rid of pic 1 and replace it with pic 3

•

u/HandheldHeartstrings 40m ago

Awful. I (F26) would delete this profile immediately. I will personally help you build a profile from scratch—maybe over a candlelit dinner and bottle of wine? Side note; how close are you to florida?

•

u/NatesWife18 21m ago

I have no idea who you are. What are you passionate or sincere about? What could someone expect?

0

u/IsopodIndependent553 6h ago

I think you are amazing! I love your humor. I would only suggest that you get a better haircut and clean up your style. But a lot of other women will think you look perfect.

0

u/will2fight 5h ago

I’m not saying it’s bad, but your profile is super female-gaze coded. A lot of women that have gone for the female-gaze types have had some bad experiences with them. Just a heads up

u/t_rexinated 1h ago

make your 2nd to last pic (with the cute pup) your primary pic, the smile makes a big difference

u/revengeaura 6h ago

Here’s what I’ve got.
1. I’m looking for: Someone who’s ready to embark on a journey involving a ring. It’ll test our commitment, challenge our loyalty and take approximately 12 hours and 6 minutes. LOTR extended editions, of course.

  1. Something that’s non-negotiable for me is: A little roleplay to keep things interesting. I’ll be a mischievous little rat with a passion for cooking, you be the intimidating head chef who catches me in the kitchen after hours. Plot twist: I’m actually making you a romantic dinner. Second plot twist: Feeding people is my love language, but you can choose dessert.

  2. My therapist would say I: (I didn’t actually mind this one as a joke).
