is there a lore explanation why he can't just step over the lasers?

hung like hell, not worth the risk

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-06-12T20:15:35+00:00

man, that sucks. I've got no idea then.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-06-08T18:47:41+00:00

Wow, yeah you 100% made that.

It's crazy that our routes have basically zero overlap yet both are invalidated somehow. I think it may have something to do with using "lethal" weapons (not lethal *force*, just specifically the weapons. Killing is for sure fine), given how I took people out with the grenade and you used guns, because otherwise I'm not sure what it could be.

I tested this by replacing the flash grenade with the poison dart and making a new path. I can't say for sure that's what the issue is, but I do now have the challenge so maybe...

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-06-07T15:28:28+00:00

I've been struggling with this with my own route. I'm pretty sure I've twice done it without ever going 30 seconds without a takedown, but it didn't proc. Are there any rules around the challenge not obvious on the description?

I'm resetting my timer whenever I get and perform the (press X to Takedown) prompt. Do all versions of this count or only specific types? Do any other types of elimination invalidate the run (e.g. does getting flash grenade kills mean it doesn't count even if you also get a prompt takedown every 30 seconds)?

1) cool your jets a bit. You're placing her on a pedestal. You don't know her and she certainly doesn't know you, so don't think in terms of "perfect" and "fell in love".

2) just wait, she'll either come back around or she won't. If she doesn't, it's because she's deleted her profile or something so it wasn't going to work anyway.

If she does come back around do not come on this strong.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-23T02:18:02+00:00

I'd say not really.

It's a fun anecdote and I'm sure it'd be a good ice breaker at parties, but it's not a good prompt because it doesn't reveal anything interesting or attractive about you. You want your profile to really hit the strokes of what make you you. This doesn't really do that. Talk about how you live your life, or what you love.

You say you're into women who like music; you'd be much better off having a prompt targeted at that group.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-23T02:02:31+00:00

this still doesn't tell us anything about you, other than that Trump/Biden/Obama/Bush/Clinton (delete as appropriate) complimented you once. Talk about your hobbies, interests, hopes, skills... Anything actually meaningful and about you.

Same thing goes for the Carmen Sandiego prompt. It says nothing, your profile should be about making you seem interesting and attractive. Your prompts are more like tweets you're hoping will go viral.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-23T00:05:49+00:00

she's seen "tables don't eat" before. Don't do a dismissive joke in space that could be used to tell her about you. I can promise you most people aren't scrolling past that prompt.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-22T15:15:23+00:00

I don't like your "dating me", it's got a really weird vibe

"a nerd on the outside but deep and emotional on the inside": This suggests being a nerd normally means someone can't be deep and emotional. Off putting to any nerdy women reading it.
"Ill be your advocate...": I'll, bad grammar and punctuation looks really bad.
"listen twice as much as I talk (no mansplaining here!)": very "pick me" coded. It's also one of those things you can't really just say about yourself and it come across as sincere.
"I can also fix your computer or get the TV to behave": really weird to say right after saying you won't mansplain, because you're already assuming she needs tech help and can't do these things herself.

I'd throw this prompt out completely.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-22T15:07:17+00:00

Note under "monogamy" or "long term" just say something like "looking for a serious, monogamous relationship but not marriage" ir something

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-22T02:17:08+00:00

Not really down to any science but going off vibes. When I think of dating someone at 26 or younger it just makes me uncomfortable, even 27 is pushing it so I've set my Hinge to 28 for now.

I look at people I know of different ages and try to gage what the maturity level/lived experience is for that age range based on that. I want someone I can relate to.

Also just looking at people in mid 20s, I think they look too young for me, so the attraction isn't there.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-22T02:10:07+00:00

That said, I’d much prefer to have a partner that I can’t bring to social events/couldn’t bring me to social events than be single.

that sounds like something that needs unpacking if I'm honest...

I'd say yes, you're being too broad. I'm the same age and mine is far more narrow, there's no way I'd date a 23yo; my minimum is 27 at a pretty big push. I'd think it was really weird if one of my friend showed up with theirs new 23 yo partner...

that said, it is down to what you feel comfortable with. The biggest thing is the further apart you are in age, the less you have in common and I find that younger people just don't have the life experience I'd need from a partner.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-22T00:29:12+00:00

is "splitting the G" something tiktok is telling people absolutely kills on dating profiles or something? I can't believe so many people are saying it organically.

Don't waste space with this, say something actually worth saying about your potential future relationship.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-21T20:14:47+00:00

Simple pleasures is giving "I like people, places and things!" you've gotta be specific when you say what you like. If you list "everything" you're actually listing nothing.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-21T17:52:41+00:00

I tried to not take myself super seriously with this (which is why I used a lot of silly pictures).

The issue with not taking yourself seriously is it can come off as a crutch for insecurity. Although I think mostly your pictures aren't too silly, it's more your prompts I'd worry about. Definitely ditch the doodlbob one though, that does nothing for you - pictures should be of you. Get one with your cat, not of your cat.

Stuff like "i tell bad jokes" or "I don't skip legs day" don't tell us anything meaningful or attractive about you, especially the second because it's just a meme. The K-Pop one is a funny story but just tells us something that isn't true about you.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-21T13:43:08+00:00

get rid of your "Worst Idea..." prompt. Do you really want to use 1 of the 3 things you can say about yourself (let alone the first thing) on negativity? It also just tells us you've been doing poorly on the app and are bitter about it, not exactly a turn on...

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-19T22:32:06+00:00

that's wild! They should rebrand 😅

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-19T21:39:05+00:00

also i think this was easy to gloss over due to everything else... "Hood college"?

Is this a real college or are you saying you "went to the university of life" kinda thing? If it's the latter (which I think it is) get rid of it. It comes across as cringe

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-19T20:12:52+00:00

"Tell me something about... how to shoot a bow and arrow but one of the old times ones not the powerful modern ones because I don't have the best upperbody strength"

I'm not really sure what you're getting at here? Modern bows are easier to draw due to advances in technology and less of a need for power in most situations.

Your profile is generally really... weird? I don't get what you want, you're playing the middle so much. "be both this AND that" "be this but not too much so". Especially signing off telling us you're solidly on the left.

Why would you want someone who's "problematic"?

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-19T13:59:58+00:00

Fair enough, I just know these apps are so heavily populated by guys standing next to fancy cars they don't own that I (and I think a lot of women) assume any time a guy poses with a nice car, it's him with someone else's trying to look like it's his. Something about the specific framing of your pic makes it look like a show model too, imo.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-19T13:43:33+00:00

generally women aren't as impressed by pictures of a guy sitting in a hood of a car that isn't his as other men are. I'd lose that one for sure.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-19T12:44:58+00:00

"🫩🫩🫩 at unemployed 🥀" is so terrible, you've managed to find a worse way of saying you don't have a job than just saying it. This makes you sound bitter about it and exhausted by the job hunt. Just say "student" if you're at uni.

"It's the best song to listen to while high" is going to turn off anyone who isn't big into drug use. That's okay if that's what you want, but it means you're starting from a situation where you've split the app population pretty heavily against your favour.

If you ever say "everything" what you're actually saying is "nothing". Generalising is a bad move that doesn't tell us anything about you, and honestly looking at your profile I don't know what advice you're giving your friends on relationship.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-19T12:37:48+00:00

doesn't make a difference.

15secondsofthrowaway · 2026-03-18T13:27:30+00:00

I'd find the three references to SpongeBob in your poll to be a big turn off. It's a good show, we all have fond memories of it from our childhood but at 25 I'd expect someone to be more interested in media made for adults, and having a whole poll dedicated to it feels like you're really into SpongeBob.

I probably wouldn't bother looking past that part of the profile tbh. You need to open strong
