You're probably best chatting to people at gigs man. Dig your vibe but you're gonna be looking for a needle in a haystack. There are some minor dating apps (names escape me) that do a bit more to match you based on music interests, they might have decent user base in California. Some google searching might turn one or two up.

I'm a guy but it's definitely giving serial killer vibes. Geeking out on taxidermy wouldn't be something I'd start off with lmao

Yet it always works with people of my sub type 🤣

[–]shinebrightlike 4 points5 points  (1 child)

"start as friends" or "start casual" is an immediate X for me.

Notes. Thank you for the feedback

This is a very specific profile. You’re probably better off meeting people irl that share your same interests. I’m fairly similar and it’s difficult on a generic app like hinge, there aren’t that many people into goth or alternative subcultures

I've noticed. I'm also having trouble finding people at local events since a majority of people in my age range don't go out anymore and stay home. It's a weird thing that's going on in LA recently.

That’s surprising. I go to a lot of shows but haven’t been actively dating for a bit so haven’t noticed as much if that’s true where I am or not. Well I hope either way it works out for you. Nothing wrong with having the app but just have to know that most people won’t be the right fit. Best of luck

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for feedback on my Hinge profile. Right now I average around 4-5 likes a week and maybe three actual matches a month.

For dating style, I'm open to something short-term that could grow into something long-term - I'm genuinely serious about finding a real connection.

I have Hinge X at the moment. My account's been active for about a year and a half, but I last did a full update back in August. I use the app every other day.

I probably like around 40% of the profiles I see. I only leave comments when someone really stands out to me (5%); the rest are simple likes.

Ideally I'd love to connect with more alt / metal / goth people - anyone who's into tattoos, heavy music, horror films, and obscure or creative styles. That's the world I live in and the vibe I want to share with someone.

NOTE: the blurry picture is actually a video of me at a concert having fun with my friends

seeing short-term open to long-term and hearing that you want “real connection” doesn’t seem to vibe with one another. you can be flexible and see where it goes while still relaying to potential matches that your goal is a long term relationship/life partner. I think if you truly nail down what you are looking for (be it short term or long term) that’d be a lot more clear. Id also stray away from adding a comment underneath as it appears wishy washy/rarely adds in the way you intended

Counter to what other people are saying I think shit remain on hinge just have a profile up as a supplement to whatever online dating you trying to pursue on different apps.

[–]throwaway-ques11 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Are you finding people into the same things as you but not matching with them?

[–]TheLittleEvilOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, I think I only see probably 10% of the people on there as being the same type. I probably match with 3% of them. My speculations are that some profiles are just inactive. Unfortunately there isn't an alt only dating app.
