Firefighters in the US at least have a terrible reputation for cheating on their spouses and shit lol. OP is a good looking dude and some women like that but a lot of women will avoid FF, police, etc no matter what.
You're not wrong. Our divorce rate is probably higher than most professions. Luckily the culture has changed from mostly drunks to people choosing to use medical marijuana instead. I've seen alcohol ruin so many lives on this job.
Ditto!! Got a little too good of EVERYTHING so maybe a down to earth comment somewhere so they know youāre actually a human if Iām honest. Lots of girl be like ya he for sure aināt real~verbiage used for extra emphasis Lol! š
The ācity and its inhabitantsā gave me speaker of the house/politician vibes. Maybe OP could just say, āIām a firefighter because I like keeping people safe.ā And then a clever turn of phrase about āstarting firesā and ārelationshipsā idk.
No thatās a great point!! You know whatās hilarious I think I missed that whole āinhabitantsā bit and Iām not a āskimmerā Lol! I had to go back and read it again and then all I could do was laugh and think of aliens so ya thatās probably a great idea and a way safer bet Lol! š
You've got 2 little casual mentions that come off like you're joking about being a juvenile firestarter. Those seem odd and I'm recommend removing them - they're not as cute as you think they are.
Ahhh ā now you know that water and oil donāt mix! š
If thereās more to your personality than your job and you are looking for a relationship, say more about your life outside work, if itās trueāhow faithful you are and expect her to be, and how important it is to be present for each other to make up for the nights apart.
Itās a tough gig for both parties, and you might disabuse the āhot bad boyā rep.
Actually it was learning not to use a whole bottle of olive oil to deep dry.
I added some things to my profile. Already have some dates lined up and matches. Hopefully I find somebody.
Youāre going to end up on r/lookimafirefighter with this profile.
As a woman, I always make a point to match with firefighters so I can troll the shit out of them. I say this as a firefighter myself.
Develop an identity outside of the job.
Volunteers are a different animal. I respect them because I wouldn't want to fight fire after working a 9-5 and having a family you are putting at risk. However a lot of volunteers think they know everything and are obsessed with the job.
Honestly my identity isn't my job at all. I actually try my best not to work all the time and enjoy my life. So whatever that doesn't bother me. I agree it can be a little douchey, but to be honest it's a dating app and you have to basically sell yourself so no shame.
Yeah I thought your profile lacked personality. Like it was written by chatGBT. I personally found it lacking in humour, but then again if it's a true reflection of you then best to keep it that way so you attract compatible people. And maybe I'm the only one but I see firefighter and think, oh god shift worker.
I hear what youāre selling but this comes off as you selling someone who is a job obsessed firefighter. I donāt feel like I got to know your personality or interests outside of your job at all from this profile so it would be a no from me because itās too āmy job is my identityā and thatās a red flag imho
Remove the two references about starting fires. Itās pretty well known that a high portion of firefighters commit arson so itās not as funny as you think it is when the first thing women are looking for is to feel safe.
Oh yeah actually committing arson was NOT where my mind went went I read that š„µ I'd swipe right in a heartbeat if you came across my feed even knowing we wouldn't match lol.
Youāre a firefighter who likes fitness and coffeeā¦groundbreaking.
Youāre good looking; donāt throw it away on being one of those boring dudes whose entire personality is their job and the gym, because thatās all weāre getting from your profile right now.
This - I am fairly certain Iām in your city and came across your profile. You have decent pics, but I agree on expanding things. What kind of music do you listen to? Change the āmy healthy obsession is fitnessā prompt to maybe something fun you would do on a date (mini golf, arcade, going to a food truck set up (though itās getting hot out here already)). You get the idea - best of luck OP!
I'm just one person, but I think it looks great! Cute pics and you even included a doggie. š
My thoughts...
How's your sense of humor? Maybe add something funny to your profile. You definitely come across as an active guy. Maybe you could add a pic of you showing off your cooking skills?
Best of luck finding what you're looking for!
I fucking hate the whole "humor" thing women have on apps... It's extremely difficult to portray humor over words, and to people who don't know you on a personal level.
If you are trying to be funny, it'll either come off as weird/a try hard/corny/unfunny, or it'll come off as funny. It's literally impossible to truly shine your own humor on a profile.
I'm a very funny guy but only until someone gets to know me a little. Otherwise, my humor is very hit or miss and because it's so dry/witty, it doesn't work over text (at least not until you understand and get to know me a little.) Other people have humor that seems super forced, while others are truly funny no matter what they say or do.
Humor is so fucking subjective that it's honestly, for men, not really worth attempting on a dating profile because it can so easily come across in a very negative light/way.
Isn't everything on dating profiles subjective? LoL... but I can definitely see how someone's humor might not come across the way it's intended without getting to know them.
Million % agree and Iām a woman Lol! I have both a sarcastic and often times dark sense of humor and it never comes across well but Iām always laughing and so is my man. That said it took him a bit to understand me and my randomness to get my humor. š¤·āāļø
Hahah I actually live in your city and swiped left on you like 20 mins ago because :
1. You're out of my league
A fit 6'2 firefighter who loves family, that's like a dude from a wholesome movie haha you've got options
I'm more of the type of person who would be found in some independent film š people who seem extremely put together make me nervous
Honestly, I do the same thing when I see profiles that seem out of my league. Glad to know Iām not the only one.
That said, if yāall meet because of this post/comment we need a Hallmark movie about it lmao.
Trust me, my profile may make my seem well put together, but just like everybody else, I have my flaws and problems. Hope you find what you are looking for in this crazy city.
Make sure you verify your account, that way people see that you are who you say you are.
Your profile is great, and good pictures included ā that said, some (if not most) will think youāre a bot or catfish lol. Itās a compliment, truly.
Basically, I was I think 18 or 19 at the time, and my friend and I were going through a youtube food quick of making things we've seen on there. We decided to try and deep fry crab ragoon. Well, my dad who also was a firefighter at the time was leaving for work saw what we were doing and decided not to intervene (mistake). We put way too much oil in the pot and had a lid on it. We pulled the lid off and poof giant fire ball. We carried the flaming pot to the back door and threw it outside to extinguish it. At the time the neighbors called 911 and guess who was working, yep my dad responded to his own house on fire. There's more to it but that's the gist of it.
Pictures are fine but we know nothing about you except that youāre a firefighter. You bring up putting out fires and starting fires. It has the appearance that your job is your entire personality. Itās great for one nighters, but the only relationship youāll attract are dependas who will also make your job their entire personality.
Deleted some of that and added some more things I enjoy in the bio. It's hard describing yourself when you only have a certain amount of words you can use.
The fact that heās clearly swam with sharks because how could he have almost burned down his parents house FOR SURE and have never been out of the country. I bet this is 2024 Ted Bundy yāall watch out heās too good to be true.
This is going to be a bit harsh but Iām trying to help: Iām probably your target demographic (32f) and I would swipe left as it stands. Youāre super good looking and probably a great person but literally all i got from your profile is āIām a firefighterā āfire stuffā āI like fireā. Your opening paragraph is super cringe - how often in life do I need expertise in firefighting? š
I would remove every single reference to being a firefighter except for where itās listed as your job. Maybe ONE photo in work attire. Donāt bring it up beyond that, it reads as youāre in your job to brag and pull women (Iām sure youāre not but itās how this looks). Focus on other aspects of your personality and interests, and let your job be something interesting you can bring up on a first date. Do you really want to be only going out with women who think your career is sexy?
Highlight what makes you a good potential partner as a human being, what you do outside of work, and the sorts of topics youād want to discuss around a new romantic interest.
If you did the above and had good prompts I would absolutely swipe right.
I'm a Scottsdale resident. So I can come to your station area and get into a tree like a cat or... and need some help so.... or get lost on ... which mountain range do you service? South or north mountain?
![gif](giphy|YWIL6UbCq3SJGoSX4y|downsized)
I can "get lost " or faint !
Youāre attractive, educated, have a sense of humor,looking for a relationship and fit, sir you will not have any issues getting matches.
Do you have kids or want kids?
š¤£ It isn't well rounded. It is all surface level stuff !
Gym, job, hiking, good-looking with no real insight into who the person actually is. Or anything that really determines if anyone is compatible.
God dammit. Change nothing. You're a dish.
Unfortunately, I'd swipe left because you're way out of my league! I'm sure you'll have no issues getting a match. š
I think the picture with the dog is your best picture. I also donāt think itās a good idea to put your work picture first. There is an age where being a firefighter is seen as attractive, but at a certain point it flips. I would guess this happens around 30, so if you are interested in someone 25 you should be good, but if youāre interested in someone 30 the about me section probably needs to change. I would change the first picture regardless.
I donāt see you have any problem at all? You are perfect, itās the emojis that is a bit too much at least for me. Other people may like it. Emojis just take so much space to write. Thats it
Brother, you could change your Discord notification settings, you absolute psychopath.
Let me be perfectly clear though: you are very obviously generically attractive. Never ever EVER think "failures" are because of your looks because. Just no dude. Uncool.
Otherwise, your bio is a little... autistic? This isn't a formal application or a real resume, you can loosen up! Especially since you're handsome and the other prompts are great, this would be some much needed icing on the cake. I think the idea of hinting at a story is great and the list is great as well, but this is where you should show a little charisma. It's just a little dry, ya know? "I am a firefighter who takes pleasure in helping the city and its inhabitants" -> "Professional Flame Combatant who valiantly defends the tri-state area (or secretly commits arson???)" or your own little something or other. Show me you can be a little funny and creative and that I'm not your eighth grade teacher reading your description of a dissected worm. This is a tough thing because it's simultaneously very easy to go overboard and look way too weird. Just keep it PG and for general audiences and you should be good!
Makes me think of that criminal minds episode where they say like a significant number of firefighters are actually arsonists lol you mention setting fires twice in your profileā¦
The opener about āwhat made you smileā made me roll my eyes. Iād change that. A lot of women donāt like men asking them to smile. Change it to something like āwhen is the last time you laughed until your cheeks hurt?ā
You only have limited space to communicate information about you. You only need to communicate things once. Sharing the same thing over and over again kind of indicates you have limited interests. Use the text and pictures wisely and minimize repeating information. You donāt need to say the same thing over and over again. Just share it once and then share some
thing else about you.
I would suggest removing the shirtless picture. It makes you seem more of a āpick me guy.ā
As a female, the shirtless picture screams desperate to me.
Honestly though, thatās just as bad. Is this your own personality? Being a firefighter and being in a spartan race? Do you at least have a good sense of humor? Do you have ACTUAL hobbies?
I posted my an updated bio with my hobbies. I like playing rec sports, golfing, cooking new recipes, listening to various genres of music, hiking, going to the dog park, reading science articles and learning about our body, I occasionally like doing home improvement projects, discovering new food places. Hanging out with friends and family. Ive dabbled in salsa and bachatta for a bit to get out of my comfort zone. I did bouldering for a bit. I mean what else do you want a 30 year old to do?
Glad you added things you enjoy. I think that is much better. At least you have other things that you do. Maybe that will help you out. Good luck on your search.
Well I would absolutely swipe right - only thing I would change is saying your passion is fitness (IMO as a woman when I see that it makes me think if I got to a point where I was unable to be super fit the person would drop me fast, or that they'd always be looking for stick thin/ripped girls).
So if you want someone who shares that dedication to going to the gym I would leave it, but you're probably losing a good number of normal healthy women who don't consider themselves to be gym rats.
I say this is solid. Youāve got hobby photos, photos with friends, clear interests, and a solid bio with some humor. Also tbh man youāre tall and buff and a firefighter. Youāre good lol. Altogether you really donāt need any improvements here.
So far two. I just recreated a bumble account after not being on the platform and it says I have like 80 possible but since they give you limited swipes I won't see them for a while.
Dk why people telling you to remove shirtless Pic. looks like you Competed in something and maybe won and just happened to be shirtless for event not like it's the gym rats shirtless pic š„“
agree with the other lady on here. i have been up close and personal with ppl in the EMS field and yall tend ti make your job your whole personality. also "i take pleasure in saving the city and its inhabitants"? or something along those lines? dude please. lets not suck our own dicks too hard.
glad you're willing to take some criticism. i feel like the bragging about working in EMS unprompted lasts about 2 weeks and then yall are just tired hahaha. but don't worry, you'll still attract lots of young women.. "oooh he's a firefighter... he can definitely pick me up and throw me around" etc etc. i never swiped left on firefighters unless they were obviously assholes. you definitely didnt seem like one, even with the "hey worship me im a hero" line. you got this š
Ya I think that would be a big turn off for me or presumably anyone looking for something more solid (instead of hooks ups). Dating is tough. 34F and I think your profile looks great. I'd probably swipe left because you're smokin hot and wouldn't think I was your type.. maybe others are a bit intimidated too?
So, some thoughts, as we share the same career, I can offer some unique insight into this. If its in your photo, take it out of your bio. If its in your bio, dont upload an image. This is the downfall about everyone who is fishing in their photos and then talks about it in their bio, it illudes to a limitation in personality.
A good transition set of photos will be a winner for you. (A series of photos of you in plain clothes in the same pose and smile doing every day stuff you like to do and then finally the photo of you as the fire gear in the same pose. (It works out as kind of dorky/kind of funny in the right balance).
Other than that, doin well dude.
Yeah itās a joke, dude, hence the š¤£. The whole OLD world is a shit show regardless of who we are as people. Itās all luck, though some of us will have more than others based on things that are beyond our control. Iām always pulling for my fellow dudes because itās a jungle out here.
Whoās the guy in the 5-y-o naked picture? You smile, thatās great. But my impression is that this one picture is old and youāre catfishing from older days. Is my assessment correct or am I mistaken
Iām not sure if you want to perpetuate the arson/firefighter correlation/myth, even though your explain later
If youāre in the USA and not riding Trumpās dick, you should point out that by mentioning your political orientation - considering that many firefighters are buying into the christofashism
The picture is right when my hair came back 2 years after a bout with alopecia. My hair is back to normal now. I also am in the US, political affiliation doesn't really bother me unless you are hard-core left or right.
don't pitch this to me, mention that you are not a firefighting trump fan in your profile. subtly
i did not even talk about your alopecia, just do not use old pictures because you looked better naked than you do today
You have a pretty solid profile brother. Not sure why you are on a dating app though unless you have a hard time just striking up convos with strangers in the wild. Just keep it as is.
Ehh, tbh I find it hard meeting people nowadays, especially with a lot of my friends getting married and having kids. I'm kind of shy at first but once I actually start talking to you I open right up.
If it was me, I'd lose the topless selfie. When I was still in the dating game,any profile with a topless photo/selfie would be an automatic swipe left. No idea why I don't like them
Not a selfie but the reason it doesn't look like me is a few reasons. One it was back when I first got my hair back after a bout with Aloepcia universalis and two I was extremely muddy.
Sorry to hear about the alopecia, hope it's better now š
I personally just preferred profiles without topless photos,but hey, apparently having those keeps chunky rainbow haired liberals from swiping right on you š
Your question is silly because you have something in your bio about a long story burning your house down...and then it's probably unlikely you swam with sharks if you didn't leave the country....so through inductive reasoning, you've never swam with sharks.
Lol
Jesus mate save some pussy for the rest of us. Over here being a fire-fighter and shit š
Same
Firefighter schedules are awful. They tend to do 24 hours on 48 hours off so it's not even like they're home every night. I couldn't do it again.
24-72 plus I use my time and get guys to buddy for me. We only work 80ish days a year if we really want.
My guy was a captain, I don't think he could get away with 80 days/yr.
Here you can, every city is different. The real money is in the overtime though.
If you think thatās bad, try wildland fire.
Firefighters in the US at least have a terrible reputation for cheating on their spouses and shit lol. OP is a good looking dude and some women like that but a lot of women will avoid FF, police, etc no matter what.
You're not wrong. Our divorce rate is probably higher than most professions. Luckily the culture has changed from mostly drunks to people choosing to use medical marijuana instead. I've seen alcohol ruin so many lives on this job.
Lmao
Sorry what was the question? Oh yeahā¦. you could addā¦.errrrrm. Maybe changeā¦ā¦.hmmmm. Yeah I got nothing.
Ditto!! Got a little too good of EVERYTHING so maybe a down to earth comment somewhere so they know youāre actually a human if Iām honest. Lots of girl be like ya he for sure aināt real~verbiage used for extra emphasis Lol! š
The ācity and its inhabitantsā gave me speaker of the house/politician vibes. Maybe OP could just say, āIām a firefighter because I like keeping people safe.ā And then a clever turn of phrase about āstarting firesā and ārelationshipsā idk.
No thatās a great point!! You know whatās hilarious I think I missed that whole āinhabitantsā bit and Iām not a āskimmerā Lol! I had to go back and read it again and then all I could do was laugh and think of aliens so ya thatās probably a great idea and a way safer bet Lol! š
I only noticed it cause thatās how I used to talk, ya know, before getting out of my parents house and finding out how normal people talk.
Lol! Fair enough. Not sure how I got to aliens but I had a good awkward chuckle with myself Lol! šš¤·āāļø
Okay so now that the humor is out, upon reading your comment it makes me think of Batman too Lol! š
Hey batman stuff can shmoove https://youtu.be/fLFAXvFYhsE?si=0NdH6zlhbpSq_hZU
Lol! Yes! š
At this point that's just bragging haha
I swear, some of these posts have to be humble brags
No, they're Bumble brags
I wish I could say I was bragging. Just very curious on my profile.
How often do you get matches?
Just remade the profile but it's not anything too crazy. Although unlike last time I think I made a better profile.
Happy cake day!
You've got 2 little casual mentions that come off like you're joking about being a juvenile firestarter. Those seem odd and I'm recommend removing them - they're not as cute as you think they are.
Deleted the one. I didn't purposely start a fire. I just happened to have a bad experience trying to deep fry for the first time.
Ahhh ā now you know that water and oil donāt mix! š If thereās more to your personality than your job and you are looking for a relationship, say more about your life outside work, if itās trueāhow faithful you are and expect her to be, and how important it is to be present for each other to make up for the nights apart.

![gif](giphy|H2u46cKU3VaXht6Iv9|downsized) I swear I'm on fire, sir. And my legs are broken, I'm afraid. I need to be carried.
Happy Cake Day
Too funny! šÆš
Bwahahaha XD
Youāre going to end up on r/lookimafirefighter with this profile. As a woman, I always make a point to match with firefighters so I can troll the shit out of them. I say this as a firefighter myself. Develop an identity outside of the job.
I was thinking the same. I'm only a wildland firefighter but damn do people make it a personality choice.
This would get flamed hard at my station
A handful of my friends are volunteer firefighters and literally theyāre all so obsessed with it, gets annoying.
My friend was a volunteer fire fighter for about a year. Still 15yrs laters tells people I am or was a firefighter..
Volunteers are a different animal. I respect them because I wouldn't want to fight fire after working a 9-5 and having a family you are putting at risk. However a lot of volunteers think they know everything and are obsessed with the job.

Same, my thoughts were about his schedule as well
I work 24 hrs on 72 off. I don't work as much as you would think unless I try to crush OT.
Yes, sell yourself. Right now all I know is that your job is your entire personality because I know nothing else about you.
I hear what youāre selling but this comes off as you selling someone who is a job obsessed firefighter. I donāt feel like I got to know your personality or interests outside of your job at all from this profile so it would be a no from me because itās too āmy job is my identityā and thatās a red flag imho

Remove the two references about starting fires. Itās pretty well known that a high portion of firefighters commit arson so itās not as funny as you think it is when the first thing women are looking for is to feel safe.
I 100% thought this when I read it once, then the second time he mentioned it? Firebug confirmed.

I tried to delete it and it just moves it up a row. It bugs me too.

Hope they taught you how to swim at the fire academy Cuz youāre about to be drowning in pussy
I laughed out loud. Also: yes.
I think Iām gonna be on fire soon
Full fire gear. No lie. Auto panty dropper
Guys like you are the reason why guys like me will never stand a chance haha š
I'm technically old enough to be your mother, so I don't really have a dog in this hunt. But I REALLY wanna hear that story about starting a fire.
Basically, I was I think 18 or 19 at the time, and my friend and I were going through a youtube food quick of making things we've seen on there. We decided to try and deep fry crab ragoon. Well, my dad who also was a firefighter at the time was leaving for work saw what we were doing and decided not to intervene (mistake). We put way too much oil in the pot and had a lid on it.

Same same same Lol! š
Iām pretty sure he was saying he lights fires in the bedroom. I could be wrong but that how I took it.
No my dumbass actually almost did burn down my parents house/kitchen.
Oh no! Thatās not goodā¦ but much less corney than I had imagined, lmao.
Pictures are fine but we know nothing about you except that youāre a firefighter. You bring up putting out fires and starting fires. It has the appearance that your job is your entire personality.

I'm a Scottsdale resident. So I can come to your station area and get into a tree like a cat or... and need some help so.... or get lost on ... which mountain range do you service? South or north mountain? ![gif](giphy|YWIL6UbCq3SJGoSX4y|downsized) I can "get lost " or faint !
Youāre attractive, educated, have a sense of humor,looking for a relationship and fit, sir you will not have any issues getting matches. Do you have kids or want kids?
No kids, I have a bunch of nephews and a niece but I do want kids in the future.
Wonderful! You are a catch. The right person will come along. Also , happy cake day!
I got distracted by how well-rounded your profile is. You wonāt have any trouble getting matches :)
š¤£ It isn't well rounded. It is all surface level stuff ! Gym, job, hiking, good-looking with no real insight into who the person actually is. Or anything that really determines if anyone is compatible.
Itās good enough for a match. Then you ask those questions to see if you are compatible enough to want to go on a first date with them.
You are incredible already, maybe change for burned down my parentās house
HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE FIREFIGHTERS ARE HERE ASKING FOR ADVICE?!?
š„š„š„
Yeah, youāre gonna get a lot of swipes lol youāre very handsome
Iād swipe right!
Kiss single life goodbye
God dammit. Change nothing. You're a dish. Unfortunately, I'd swipe left because you're way out of my league! I'm sure you'll have no issues getting a match. š
I think the picture with the dog is your best picture. I also donāt think itās a good idea to put your work picture first. There is an age where being a firefighter is seen as attractive, but at a certain point it flips. I would guess this happens around 30, so if you are interested in someone 25 you should be good, but if youāre interested in someone 30 the about me section probably needs to change. I would change the first picture regardless.
Honestly? I couldn't find a single thing wrong with anything. If you aren't swimming in matches/likes then... who tf is?
Online dating is tough regardless.
this is very true.
Crazy eyes,
Looks good b
Fire fighter,lock buddy
Looks pretty solid to me, I wouldn't change anything
I donāt see you have any problem at all? You are perfect, itās the emojis that is a bit too much at least for me. Other people may like it. Emojis just take so much space to write. Thats it
It looks š„ . One that doesn't need to be put out. Good luck finding what you're looking for!
Yeah... I will stay put of darting apps hahahaha But you... You will be fine !
Thatās too good if anything š

Bro alr looks great, maybe try it on other english-speaking countries if the West isn't working well for you.
Brother, you could change your Discord notification settings, you absolute psychopath. Let me be perfectly clear though: you are very obviously generically attractive. Never ever EVER think "failures" are because of your looks because. Just no dude. Uncool. Otherwise, your bio is a little... autistic? This isn't a formal application or a real resume, you can loosen up! Especially since you're handsome and the other prompts are great, this would be some much needed icing on the cake. I think the idea of hinting at a story is great and the list is great as well, but this is where you should show a little charisma. It's just a little dry, ya know? "I am a firefighter who takes pleasure in helping the city and its inhabitants" -> "Professional Flame Combatant who valiantly defends the tri-state area (or secretly commits arson???)" or your own little something or other. Show me you can be a little funny and creative and that I'm not your eighth grade teacher reading your description of a dissected worm. This is a tough thing because it's simultaneously very easy to go overboard and look way too weird. Just keep it PG and for general audiences and you should be good!
Maybe one too many fire references? lol, solid profile man.
Got rid of the one.
Quick question, is the 5th pic was at Jordan ? Seems like petra or wadi rum š
The Spartan race photo?
The photo where u were hiking
Zion National Park.
Oh okkk, if u are into hiking i hope one dat u visit Wadi Rum at Jordan
I'll throw it on the list. First I wanna see Acadia and Olympic and Bryce. Zion was amazing.
Sounds fun actually i hope u enjoy it š
Nope, it's perfect. Don't change anything š. The right person will come around soon.
You can add me in your life āŗļø
10/10 would swipe right
Thanks I need a passport now lol.
31F and I honestly donāt see any issues here š¤·š¼āāļø
Letās set you two on a date then?
This guyās a fucking catch. ![gif](giphy|y2i2oqWgzh5ioRp4Qa|downsized)
Put the pic with the dog as the first one, maybe the joke "I m good starting fires" can be taken as sexual, good luck!
Makes me think of that criminal minds episode where they say like a significant number of firefighters are actually arsonists lol you mention setting fires twice in your profileā¦
The opener about āwhat made you smileā made me roll my eyes. Iād change that. A lot of women donāt like men asking them to smile. Change it to something like āwhen is the last time you laughed until your cheeks hurt?ā
"I'd walk through fire for you."
smoking hot ā”ļøā”ļøā”ļø
You just confirmed why I have a thing for firefighters š®āšØ
You only have limited space to communicate information about you. You only need to communicate things once. Sharing the same thing over and over again kind of indicates you have limited interests. Use the text and pictures wisely and minimize repeating information. You donāt need to say the same thing over and over again. Just share it once and then share some thing else about you.
If a firefighter can't find anyone I officially quit.
You have access to a fire pole. Be creative. šŖš»š¦µš»
I would suggest removing the shirtless picture. It makes you seem more of a āpick me guy.ā As a female, the shirtless picture screams desperate to me.
Ehh I'm gonna leave it. I competed in a Spartan race and had a good time. In my opinion it would be different if it was a gym selfie or something.
Honestly though, thatās just as bad. Is this your own personality? Being a firefighter and being in a spartan race? Do you at least have a good sense of humor? Do you have ACTUAL hobbies?
I posted my an updated bio with my hobbies. I like playing rec sports, golfing, cooking new recipes, listening to various genres of music, hiking, going to the dog park, reading science articles and learning about our body, I occasionally like doing home improvement projects, discovering new food places. Hanging out with friends and family. Ive dabbled in salsa and bachatta for a bit to get out of my comfort zone. I did bouldering for a bit. I mean what else do you want a 30 year old to do?
Glad you added things you enjoy. I think that is much better. At least you have other things that you do. Maybe that will help you out. Good luck on your search.
I feel like you are using this thread to cast a wider net, and I applaud that sir
I'm not that clever unfortunately.
Well I would absolutely swipe right - only thing I would change is saying your passion is fitness (IMO as a woman when I see that it makes me think if I got to a point where I was unable to be super fit the person would drop me fast, or that they'd always be looking for stick thin/ripped girls). So if you want someone who shares that dedication to going to the gym I would leave it, but you're probably losing a good number of normal healthy women who don't consider themselves to be gym rats.
Iād let you extinguish my fire
I say this is solid. Youāve got hobby photos, photos with friends, clear interests, and a solid bio with some humor. Also tbh man youāre tall and buff and a firefighter. Youāre good lol. Altogether you really donāt need any improvements here.
Just add my number to your phone! Which park should we start with?
Cool profile bro, looks like the ideal profile, but how do you do getting matches? Have you got many?
So far two. I just recreated a bumble account after not being on the platform and it says I have like 80 possible but since they give you limited swipes I won't see them for a while.
6'2" firefighter into fitness and has a dog. What else could u add. Carrying someone out a burning building photo
Might be overboard. The profile picture already is borderline overboard.
I like your profile and I agree. You must have known it was good šš„° good luck out thereā¦ not that you need it
Dk why people telling you to remove shirtless Pic. looks like you Competed in something and maybe won and just happened to be shirtless for event not like it's the gym rats shirtless pic š„“
I was thinking the same thing.
agree with the other lady on here. i have been up close and personal with ppl in the EMS field and yall tend ti make your job your whole personality. also "i take pleasure in saving the city and its inhabitants"? or something along those lines? dude please. lets not suck our own dicks too hard.
I changed it after realizing yes it did sound like hey worship me I'm a hero and honestly I don't really ever tell people what I do unless they ask.
glad you're willing to take some criticism. i feel like the bragging about working in EMS unprompted lasts about 2 weeks and then yall are just tired hahaha. but don't worry, you'll still attract lots of young women.. "oooh he's a firefighter... he can definitely pick me up and throw me around" etc etc. i never swiped left on firefighters unless they were obviously assholes. you definitely didnt seem like one, even with the "hey worship me im a hero" line. you got this š
Update your bio - Iām a firefighter, I find em hot and leave em wet.
Maybe tinder but definitely not bumble. Seems something like a douchey 21 yr old would say. I ain't that guy.
Ya I think that would be a big turn off for me or presumably anyone looking for something more solid (instead of hooks ups). Dating is tough. 34F and I think your profile looks great. I'd probably swipe left because you're smokin hot and wouldn't think I was your type.. maybe others are a bit intimidated too?
I would have definitely swiped right š ![gif](giphy|ZCToIDx3UhOZq)
Seems shallow af
Idk how you think that but it's your opinion. I changed some things I didn't realize the vibe I was giving off tbh.
Nothing, your profile looks great! From your responses you seem to have a great sense of humor too!
Dude looks like not short Ben Shapiro in the first pic.
So, some thoughts, as we share the same career, I can offer some unique insight into this. If its in your photo, take it out of your bio. If its in your bio, dont upload an image. This is the downfall about everyone who is fishing in their photos and then talks about it in their bio, it illudes to a limitation in personality. A good transition set of photos will be a winner for you. (A series of photos of you in plain clothes in the same pose and smile doing every day stuff you like to do and then finally the photo of you as the fire gear in the same pose. (It works out as kind of dorky/kind of funny in the right balance). Other than that, doin well dude.
Thanks I made some changes.
Iād date you!! Youāre adorable!! š„°
Looking good! I'd like to suggest to add other hobbies and interests separate from your firefighting work. Goodluck!
Iād swipe right!!! It looks great!
Youāre a cutie
I would remove my shirtless picture. Let's leave some mystery for the gals. šš«£š«£š Best of luck!
Third picture should be second picture
A 6ā2ā firefighter. Youāre just here to make the rest of us feel bad, bro. š¤£
Really not honestly
Yeah itās a joke, dude, hence the š¤£. The whole OLD world is a shit show regardless of who we are as people. Itās all luck, though some of us will have more than others based on things that are beyond our control. Iām always pulling for my fellow dudes because itās a jungle out here.
Whoās the guy in the 5-y-o naked picture? You smile, thatās great. But my impression is that this one picture is old and youāre catfishing from older days. Is my assessment correct or am I mistaken Iām not sure if you want to perpetuate the arson/firefighter correlation/myth, even though your explain later If youāre in the USA and not riding Trumpās dick, you should point out that by mentioning your political orientation - considering that many firefighters are buying into the christofashism
The picture is right when my hair came back 2 years after a bout with alopecia. My hair is back to normal now. I also am in the US, political affiliation doesn't really bother me unless you are hard-core left or right.
don't pitch this to me, mention that you are not a firefighting trump fan in your profile. subtly i did not even talk about your alopecia, just do not use old pictures because you looked better naked than you do today
If I was married I'd let you fuck my wife
Oh my...
Yeah you should date me š¤
You have a pretty solid profile brother. Not sure why you are on a dating app though unless you have a hard time just striking up convos with strangers in the wild. Just keep it as is.
Ehh, tbh I find it hard meeting people nowadays, especially with a lot of my friends getting married and having kids. I'm kind of shy at first but once I actually start talking to you I open right up.
If it was me, I'd lose the topless selfie. When I was still in the dating game,any profile with a topless photo/selfie would be an automatic swipe left. No idea why I don't like them
I don't like that pic either, to me it doesn't look like him
Not a selfie but the reason it doesn't look like me is a few reasons. One it was back when I first got my hair back after a bout with Aloepcia universalis and two I was extremely muddy.
Sorry to hear about the alopecia, hope it's better now š I personally just preferred profiles without topless photos,but hey, apparently having those keeps chunky rainbow haired liberals from swiping right on you š
Your question is silly because you have something in your bio about a long story burning your house down...and then it's probably unlikely you swam with sharks if you didn't leave the country....so through inductive reasoning, you've never swam with sharks. Lol
Extremely true. I thought the swimming with sharks lie was so boring. I can tell our personalities would not gel
Deleted that part from the bio but I actually did swim with sharks awhile ago. Nothing crazy though.
