Dating apps are kind of a numbers game, but they also aren’t, right? You want to get a lot of matches, but you also want those matches to be people who you would actually date. The point of a dating profile isn’t just to attract compatible people, but also to avoid incompatible people.
If I’m into fishing (I’m not, it’s super boring, but let’s pretend), and someone else says “I would automatically swipe left on anyone who has a fishing pic,” then wouldn’t I want them to swipe left on me? Why would I want to match with someone who so strongly dislikes something I’m passionate about?
Cause maybe it’s not about the fishing? Again I know women that both hunt and fish but think it’s unattractive on a dating profile specifically. “I want to know what you look like not what you’ve conquered”.
Matches are just pathways into knowing someone better and forming a relationship. If something prevents matches that doesn’t necessarily mean it would prevent a good relationship.
Maybe a picture of a guy fishing is a compromise? Show the hobby but isn’t about aggrandizement?
I ain’t trying to stop anyone, I’m just trying to understand still doesn’t make sense to me but whatever
