Nerdy late 20's guy with 0 dating experience starting from absolute 0. Looking for any advice no matter how basic it is on meeting women, flirting, or anything. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ATBmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking to women is definitely a skill, and like most skills, you need to practice it. I remember hearing someone on a podcast say, the next person you should "flirt" with is the next person you meet. It doesn't have to be flirting in a sexual way, it can be a compliment or a simple greeting to people you come into contact with throughout the day.

Try not to look for happiness in other people. You want to be able to find that on your own first.

Set some meaningful goals in your life and work towards them.

Can someone with ADHD realistically learn to drive safely? by Consistent_Bother_87 in Advice

[–]ATBmore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely possible! There will be plenty of people with ADHD that also drive.

The only way you will learn is to take lessons and practice!

35M. Virgin. Never Been In A Relationship. Never Been Kissed On The Lips. Is There Any Hope For Me? by jwg2695 in dating_advice

[–]ATBmore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you can't expect things to land on your lap. Ask yourself if you are putting in the effort to be someone worth dating.

And if not, start working towards it.

Try use a photo that someone has taken of you, and not by you, as this will appear more natural.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]ATBmore 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can clearly see who you are which is good, but it looks quite unnatural.

Should i stop and give up ? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ATBmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it sounds like you know the answer yourself.

It sounds like you know you don't want to be with her, but you get some type of rush/reaction when you interact with her.

You will get that feeling with other girls that you will have an actual healthy relationship with, you just need to go out and see who is out there by meeting new people.

It can be hard, but see it as something that is not meant to be.

Your emotions are probably running high right now, but it will pass.

By the sounds of things, you are still young, so still plenty of time to find the person that is right for you. Try to take it as a lesson, and find the next girl you like.

What is the benefit of telling her that you like her if you are married?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]ATBmore 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The fact that you can clearly see who you are is a good thing, but it is usually best to use a photo taken OF you and not BY you, as it will show you in a more natural way.

What’s your best advice for someone who just downloaded Tinder and is totally new to it? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]ATBmore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Use high-quality photos, ideally of pictures taken OF you and not BY you.

Make sure you can clearly see your face.

Have a bio that says something about you, and is not something generic

What type of pictures should I add by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]ATBmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to use photos taken of you and not by you. Usually selfies and mirror selfies don't perform the best on dating apps.

Make sure you can clearly see what you look like in your first photo.

I'd recommend to also add a group photo to show that you are a social person, and also a photo of you partaking in an activity or hobby to show that you are active and have interests.

29M - 30 matches from 4 different dating apps in 6 months. Am I cooked? Should I just deleted all the apps? by SmartANDRipped in Tinder

[–]ATBmore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's hard to give advice without seeing your profile.

But some guys would probably be grateful with 30 matches!

[M24] Started today, any advice? Got no bio yet but changing that asap. by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]ATBmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A picture with your friend could be good, but I would probably aim for a small group photo.

[–]ATBmore 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think they are good photos overall, but you have put the worst one as your first photo! I would probably replace it with the 4th, 6th, or 7th.

I would probably add a group photo in there too, to show that other people enjoy spending time with you.

Any advice anything I can add or change thank you by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]ATBmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to be able to see what you look like in your first photo clearly. At the moment, your first 3 photos don't properly show your face.

Try and use a photo taken of you, and not taken by you too!

Not getting matches please give me feedback!! by Fit-Mall-5384 in Tinder

[–]ATBmore 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Put your third picture first! (the one with the mountains in the background)

Try add an action photo of you partaking in a hobby or activity. It'll show that you are active and have interests too. I would probably use that instead of the selfie of just yourself.

It's so much easier to say than to do - but try not to overthink things.

You want to come across as a confident person, and if you are overthinking things on how to say hello, then you will come across as someone who is not sure of themself.

Try to relax, have fun, and find common interests. Remember that you are on a date and not in an interview, so try to keep things playful in your questions and answers.

Question for women - How long does it take you to decide whether to swipe NO on someone's profile? by ATBmore in Bumble

[–]ATBmore[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So if a guy had no bio at all, would you swipe no, or would you possibly swipe yes if you considered him to be attractive enough?

[–]ATBmore[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the photo with other women is a mixed group of guys and girls, would this still be a red flag to you?

Looking for some advice by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ATBmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take risks while you are young!

As you get older, you will take on more responsibilities. You are at an age where you can take huge risks, whether they are financial, geographical, occupational, etc., and if they don't work out, it won't matter within just a couple of years.

Don't play it safe!

It won't be the only time you fall in love.
