A matchmaker reviewed a 43-year-old's Hinge profile and said he should remove details to add mystery

"Courtney seems like a fun person to be around and someone who is intellectually curious, which is a characteristic on many women's 'must-haves' list," Simone told Insider.

In this photograph, Courtney's appearance is clear, and the background of his photo is alluring, two dating expert-approved photography tips for attracting more matches, Insider previously reported.

Still, Simone suggested Courtney use this opening photo elsewhere in his profile, or swap it out. In its place, he should have a photo where he's looking slightly away from the camera or past it, Simone said.

She said that having at least one photo where you're not looking into the lens can provide a bit of mystery and suggests an attitude of confidence to potential matches.

According to Simone, a good profile is equal parts insightful, humorous, and mysterious.

To achieve this, she suggested thinking of your profile like a description on a cocktail menu at an upscale restaurant.

"In the description, they don't give away the whole recipe, exactly how many ice cubes they use, or how many times they shake the drink. They give just enough detail to leave you wanting to know more. The same should be true for your profile," Simone said.

Here, she suggested Courtney edit his written response to say something like, "I'm great at planning cool activities, discovering new things to try, and finding the joy in whatever the day brings."

According to Simone, Courtney should pick just three ideas to list here.

Right now, it comes off a bit like a long ingredient list, which leaves little to the imagination, said Simone.

"Let the right person discover the rest of your great qualities when you two meet and get to know one another," Simone said.

"Leave her room to ask questions and facilitate conversation," Simone said.

"The reality is that Courtney brings a lot to the table and he should be confident in that. He doesn't need to indulge in sharing every single thing about himself," Simone said. 

In this prompt, Simone suggested Courtney remove the exclamation point and pun. While they convey his energetic and playful nature, a potential match could misinterpret these details as too eager, and thus lacking confidence, Simone said.

When it comes to going on dates, Simone said she thinks that Courtney's personality and ability to woo a match will shine through.

Courtney made the common mistake of giving too much detail upfront, which "comes across as if you're trying too hard to promote yourself," Simone said.

Finally, she said the Courtney might consider adding more visual interest to his profile, by adding a picture with a friend or two or a moody black-and-white shot.
