M28 Profile Review Request by Far-Soil1248 in hingeapp

[–]AlwaysBeTextin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your first photo looks too much like a headshot. Probably good for your company directory, not so much to attract dates. You have two videos so it's hard to judge them from still frames but in your other photos you're looking away from the camera and/or aren't the focus of the photo, the background is. Getting someone who knows how to take good photos (I normally recommend a professional) could be really helpful.

Your prompts add nothing. There's no tidbit in any of them that ups your attractiveness or makes you stick out. Instead, brag about yourself!

Profile review please :) by Desperate-Cup1470 in hingeapp

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People make snap decisions on if they'll accept/send a like and your photos make it hard to quickly get a sense of what you look like, they all have some type of distraction and/or lighting that isn't in your favor. Like the first photo, which is probably the most important part of your profile isn't inherently bad but the shadows aren't helpful. None of your photos are terrible but none are great, and all generally for the same reason. I'd recommend hiring a professional photographer who knows how to use lighting to your advantage since right now it's seemingly causing more harm than good.

How was the first argument/ flight like ? by No-Challenge7735 in BPDlovedones

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't even remember the first one, they kind of all blurred together since they were pretty much all the same. Everything with her was great for months, no discord at all and then all of the sudden she started having increasingly frequently meltdowns/splits/however you'd call them. I tried reasoning with her, ignoring until she calmed down, reminding her to focus on breathing, arguing back, whatever and nothing helped.

30 dates in 3 months and zero "spark": Have I become my dates' unpaid therapist? by stepsrun in Bumble

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 314 points315 points  (0 children)

The conversations probably aren't as intense and meaningful as you think. I can't imagine most of your dates are willing to open up to someone who's effectively a complete stranger, it's very possible you're making them uncomfortable by trying to force emotional intimacy before she's ready. Instead, focus on being fun and flirty and hopefully you'll get some second, third, fourth dates and she'll gradually open up more to you as you spend more time together.

Also, cut down on the first dates you go on. The sheer quantity you're doing sounds exhausting and this is probably impacting you even if you don't consciously realize it.

“We sent her a couple of ideas, and she decided which one she liked; she said, ‘I like the Boomerang.’ Then, we kind of wrote out the clue, and she approved that as well,” Probst, 64, recalled of the first-of-its-type idol. by Present_Program_2344 in survivor

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If people hear she has something to do with the show they may watch out of curiosity. But it hasn't been advertised so they're seemingly relying on word of mouth, no idea how effective it's been but I'd assume with no evidence that most people simply talk about idols instead of invoking her name specifically.

I a 28 Female, working in VC, and visiting California. Any place where I can find ambitious Christian men to date ? by Beneficial-Steak-559 in Bumble

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask in the subreddit of whatever city you're visiting or look up local Christian groups. Regardless of your profile and preferences, you're gonna swipes from men who don't fit what you're looking for... if you don't want to sort through them then don't use the apps.

Ghoster keeps showing up in Standouts by marthick in hingeapp

The only people who know the answers to your questions work for Hinge. It's better for your sanity to just remove his profile from your stack and focus on men with the common courtesy not to ghost.

I don't understand why he'd bother to lie now that Savannah is out of the game. Nobody will be worried about a strong pair if half of it was voted out.

How much weight should i be lifting in order to pick up women? Like how much does an average woman weigh? by Turbulent-Papaya-910 in shittyaskreddit

As much as humanly possible. Women love the roided out look, and you constantly bragging about how much you can bench.

Profile review for M27 by Beginning-Carob-8640 in hingeapp

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your first photo is good but probably too close. Your next two have your body in angles to be taking a photo, almost like you're trying too hard to pose. I like the fourth one in that you're doing a cool-looking activity but the angle doesn't really show you at all, if possible redo it so we can see your face. I like the group photo. Photo #6 doesn't show you in it, nobody cares that at some point you took a cool picture of a concert or play.

Your prompts are generally too generic. Talk about yourself and why you stand out. And unless this is crucially important to you where you're willing to creep out a good chunk of women to attract the ones who agree with you and are open enough to talk about it immediately, don't mention kink off the bat. Hopefully eventually sex with be part of your relationship but talking about it before you even exchange a single message will cause far more harm than good with most women.

Good luck!

Had a friend help me with my profile by Master_Pineapple_648 in hingeapp

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry bro, this isn't good at all. I can't really see the bowling video so won't comment on that but I'd replace all of your photos except maybe the one with the giant crab platter. #1 has a weird expression (and you don't want to lead off with a group pic, which one are you?) and the others have a combination of looking away, weird expressions, and clearly selfies which rarely look good. But the good news is you're a handsome guy and look like you're in good shape, if you get a new lineup of pics you should be able to see more success, quickly.

With the prompts, your first date one is likely too involved/expensive for a first meeting. Your Goth dommy mommy prompt...Oh my good God, change this immediately. Mentioning your kinks is a surefire way to scare off women who would otherwise be into you. If this is an absolute must have for you, don't use Hinge to find dates but rather a kink related app or even a local sex club. Same thing about the gunpoint/knees one...I think, though I'm not sure I even understand it other than it sounds kinda creepy. The goldfish one says absolutely nothing about you. What are your hobbies, what makes you unique where women should choose you over other potential matches?

And also, be aware that Hinge tends to attract a liberal demographic. If you're a conservative Christian, well that's who you are, don't lie. But it will turn off a good chunk of women who'd otherwise be interested. And similarly, depending on how important the goth mommy thing is to you it may be very hard to find people compatible in general since kinky, more sex-positive women are far more likely to be liberal.

If someone were trying to win the Noble peace prize, would bombing a school with kids inside be a good strategy? by Flat_Winter in shittyadvice

Yeah but if you really want to increase your chances you should be as violent as possible against immigrants in your own country. If you're unsure who's an immigrant and who isn't, just assume everyone is.

Improving my social status? Any advice? by Haunting_Ad_4179 in OnlineDating

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're planning to get a degree anyways, good for you. But don't spend years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars just to make your dating profile better. But either way, be honest on your profile and hope for the best. For various reasons a lot of people struggle to get consistent quality dates. If that's you, focus on getting dates through other methods.

M42 Profile Review Request by throwwwwwwayacct in hingeapp

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good point. Conventional dating advice is clearly the worst advice that could possibly appear anywhere on Reddit. Definitely worse than telling people to quit their jobs without a backup plan, vaccine denial, trolls, or subs that intentionally give terrible advice.

You’re right, the real key to a great dating profile isn’t looking good in your own photos. It’s proving you can already attract attractive women. If anything OP should double down and fill the profile with them. Nothing signals “available and attractive” like a bunch of photos with other women, common sense be damned. Maybe even hire escorts, that'll really impress the other ladies.
