Julia, a 23-year-old publicist in New York City, volunteered to have her Bumble profile reviewed for Insider's Dating App Clinic, a new series where we ask experts how to revamp your dating profiles to increase your chances of finding a match. Julia asked Insider to keep her last name private and to blur her face to maintain privacy.
Julia said she's currently using the apps Bumble, Hinge, and Tinder to date around. She's looking for someone who is a good communicator, willing to push her outside her comfort zone, and not be lazy.
Julia said her deal breakers are Republicans, people who hunt, and those with poor personal hygiene.
"I love spending my free time with my friends, my roommate, and cat, going to visit new places I haven't been before, and trying new foods," Julia told Insider when asked to describe herself.
Rachel DeAlto, Match's chief dating expert and author of the upcoming book "Relatable: How to Connect with Anyone, Anywhere (Even If It Scares You)," told Insider what Julia could do to improve her dating profile and increase her chances of finding a match.
