Christopher, a 31-year-old freelance writer, volunteered to have his Bumble profile reviewed for Insider's Dating App Clinic, a series where we ask experts how to revamp your dating profiles to increase your chances of finding a match.

Christopher told Insider he's using Bumble, Tinder, and Hinge to find a relationship. In a match, he's looking for someone who is strong, loyal, and empathetic.

"I hate feeling like I'm being judged. I want love eventually," Christopher told Insider.

He said his deal breakers are people with no drive or commitment, and those who use "hardcore" drugs.

"I want to convey that I'm a strong confident man that works hard, loves to look good, and loves hard. I want to show that there is more to me than meets the eye," Christopher said.

Amy Nobile, an NYC-based dating expert and founder of dating coaching service Love, Amy, told Insider how Christopher can tweak his profile to find more compatible matches.

Nobile said Christopher did a great job of choosing flattering pictures. She suggested replacing his opening picture to better convey his goal of finding a relationship.
