1. Don't write casual sex as a looking for
2. Your profile looks like every other dude's profile out there who took this shit seriously
3. Don't take this shit seriously
4. People don't write long profiles--yeah, yeah, some women read it all but the majority are going to look at photos, take a quick glance for words they will be affiliated with and move on
5. Do not say, "I'm terrible at filling these self profiles out." Everyone says that
I agree with all of these points; it sounds very cut and dry and listing casual sex is big no-no. Since you say you're sarcastic but don't show it, inject humor into your profile. Less is definitely more in profile; the favorite section in particular is pretty long. Maybe make references to your favorite things e.g. tv shows, movies, songs, etc or mention how you're Puerto Rican and you do/do not know how to dance Salsa (I have a bit of stereotype that all Puerto Ricans know how to dance Salsa lol).
To further add to these points, I would suggest removing the dog picture because as a moderator on OKC, I can definitely say that it will get flagged unless you take a picture with the dog. Also, I noticed several grammatical errors e.g. bad in
Breaking Bad is capitalized, workout= work out; super powered=super powers.
You're a handsome guy like you said you were (I saw you post in the picture/Dating-Age thread) with a strong jaw line and tall to boot; pictures of you doing stuff would probably help sell you a bit more as opposed to selfies. I'm baffled by the fact that you haven't had much luck on Tinder considering the fact that as a fellow Hispanic, I get matches regularly. I've met many handsome GAF members in NYC GAF meet ups so no surprises here. I would like to meet you at a future meet up that I host to talk about online dating adventures.
Here's something I learned about Tinder .
If you're decent looking, in decent shape, have one of your 5 pictures showing off your body, and have something suggestive in your profile.
Girls will message you first, they will mention the suggestive thing in your profile, and hooking up is very easy. If that's all you're looking for of course.
Lol I qualify to all those things. While you're at it you should also mention taking pictures with sedated/drugged up tigers, posing moustaches (what's the deal with that?), posing in front of the Eiffel Tower, a picture with a baby, a picture as a child, and drinking an alcoholic drink since those are the most common pictures I always see of girls on Tinder on top of the endless droves of bikini shots.
I've thought about putting up a shirtless picture but then I realized that the only shirtless picture that I have that was in a body of water context, is about 3 years old even though I still look the same more or less but with a little bit more muscle. I think mirror shot shirtless pictures come off as douchey/try-hard.
The problem with having a shirtless picture is that it's a double edged sword; do you want unwarranted attention at the expense of getting laid? I wouldn't mind doing it since I'm not really looking for anything serious. However, the pictures that I have as is show that I'm in shape. I'll definitely toy around with it and throw in a picture to see what happens. Maybe I'll be more honest and mention that I'm looking for fun. The beautiful thing about online dating is that it's all about experimenting.
Speaking of Tinder, I deleted and rebooted my Tinder profile after running out of matches but have been more selective swiping right. I might actually try out Blendr and Hinge for the hell of it to see what all the buzz is about.
Sketchbag and Noctis (thanks for the shout in the other thread) are right: even if conversations don't lead anywhere, in the end of the day it should be about having fun in the end of the day and going with the flow and less about feeling entitled to get a date out of almost every conversation I have.
Got 3 new matches so far including a bot which I reported and unmatched. Been talking to a South East Asian Lawyer girl originally from California. I think I'm closing in on a date with her. I'll keep on trucking otherwise. Although it feels a bit strange seeing girls that I previously matched up with again but no big deal.
