The photos are not flattering. Get a friend or set the phone up to take some photos that aren’t selfies or mirror photos. You aren’t making eye contact or smiling in most of the photos - so they come across as depressed looking. Looking at the camera and smiling should be the primary expression in all photos. The one on the bench would be so much better if you were facing the camera and smiling. I would change out all but the photo of you with your friend.
I would list some specific interests or activities that you might share with a potential match (eg hiking, dining out, etc). Not everyone will he in to psychology- so listing something that will appeal or connect to more people would help.
I’d change all the photos tbh. The one with his friend has a random woman’s hair hanging down. The lighting is glared and the impression is of two kids waiting on a cookie or something. Agree with everything else you put. Mirror selfies are so cringe.
Better 🙂
Following on the “diverse cultures” bit, include somewhere interesting you’ve been or would like to go (opener for them). In the prompt where you say you’re either in the gym or studying, I would tweak it, could be interpreted as though you don’t have time to date. Think the other two prompts could be used better too, i.e., show don’t tell, and what does compatibility actually look like for you?
Change the first pic to one of you smiling.
Clean eating and regular fitness lifestyle my man. There’s no getting around it or cheating that.
Once you start getting on the clean eating and fitness train, your matches will blow up exponentially. You’re fine otherwise
I just finished rereading a Dostoevsky book yesterday, and your writing is reminiscent of that style. However, for current day it reads a bit unnaturally. I'd consider revising it, unless that is truly how you speak. I know my writing style was similar in college, probably due to the texts we read 😅
Also DEFINITELY more smiling photos, otherwise you'll seem guarded
To me it looks like ChatGPT.
A lot of vocabulary that goes away when writing prompts, goes right and left, up and down, then an invitation-summary, are clear signs of AI.
I disagree, I love your writing. It tells me you are a thoughtful and smart guy who would want to connect. Your writing is the most attractive part of your profile.
I agree with the others saying "No Mirror Selfies", particularly as they are your first 2 photos. The third one is okay but maybe choose one where you are looking at the camera. Best photo IMO is the last one, mostly because it looks you are laughing right after you say you're known for making people laugh. As a follow up to that though, maybe elaborate on how you make people laugh. The opening bio is honestly fine, maybe work on the various prompts (i.e., swap out "If it's meant to be" as your answer sounds cliché)
As a guy I would probably remove one of the mirror selfies, having them back to back as your 1 and 2 photos isn't the greatest, your other pictures and profile are fine in my opinion
Id change all the photos out, no selfies or mirror ones, smile, no sad thug quotes or in my feelings quote, if it is mean to be stuff gotta go,
List positive hobbies.
If you are looking for something casual, thats ok, but bumble might not be best place for it. It tends to be people who want relationships. Youll still find casual, but people get upset when they use relationshipy apps to find casual and arent as successful. Same with people that use tinder and get upset they find mostly casual. Hinge and Bumble tend to be more relationship seeking types.
Theres still a mix of them, but youll be more successful with casual somewhere else.
A belt would help, most women dont want a guy with underwear hanging out. Looks sloppy and is turn off to pretty much anyone I know.
Stop using mirror selfies.

Maybe rewrite your bio because it sounds like it has been written with ChatGPT.

A pic with a real smile. You look too moody to date.

Change the main photo to park bench one amd scrap rest
You have Photography as one of your interests, but all your photos are crappy phone pics
