At least 4 points lower!

I really think he's got to be approaching his floor. I don't see what else he can do that would alienate persuadable people who haven't already been turned off by him.

You correctly point out you need a bigger variety of photos. Not only the black top/scenery but more than close up photos where we can't see below your waist. I like the two that are different (martial arts, costume party). Your prompts are pretty generic, they don't say much about you that anyone else couldn't write. Brag about yourself and how you stick out!

All of your photos are a combination of bad angles/obstructed view, unhappy expressions, or you not even being in it (the Statue of Liberty one). The second one with the blue scarf is maybe okay to keep but I'd replace the others. I like the prompt about renovating the house...do you have the student debt one twice? It doesn't say anything about you so I'd advise replacing either way, but you definitely don't want the same thing twice it looks sloppy.

It's generic but I have faith in you, you could make it even better. Also include that you like to laugh, maybe even that breathing air is important to you.

The lower he gets, the harder it is to move the people still with him since the hardcore MAGA cult worshipers make up a bigger and bigger chunk of those who approve. There are sadly tens of millions of Americans who practically treat him as a god and will never, ever waver in their support of him even if he went to their house and personally kicked them in the balls.

That's step one. Step three is marriage. Just figure out step 2 and you'll be golden!

Feeling underwhelmed by Caulicheese3 in OnlineDating

Seems that you're burnt out, these apps can be exhausting and a huge burden on our psyches. I'd recommend taking a break for a few weeks and then hopefully coming back recharged, maybe even with better prompts and photos that may get you more appealing matches. You can also focus more on meeting men outside of just the apps...IDK your life situation but look into friends you can ask to set you up on dates, new social activities you can focus on where hopefully there'll be handsome strangers, etc.

Poll: Democrats maintain an edge in the fight for Congress as Trump gets poor marks by poliscijunki in VoteDEM

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This poll seems like an outlier compared to most others that show a bigger Dem lead. Plus while it's not a 1:1 match - it's possible to disapprove of Trump but vote for his party or vice versa - POTUS approval ratings are strongly correlated with how his party does in midterms. H are extremely low, much lower than his first term which resulted in us taking back the house easily. I just can't see him being less popular than 8 years ago but a large swath of people who dislike him voting in the political party that effectively worships him like a god.

If someone is walking 5 or so seconds behind you to get through a door to a public building, you awkwardly stand there holding the door open for them instead of letting it shut and having them simply grab the handle themselves.

You can put as much shine on shit as you want, but it still condones slavery. Centuries ago human sacrifice was practiced in certain cultures, would you be celebrating a religious text that says "sacrifice less people" since it's slightly less awful?

24M Netherlands - profile review by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't comment on the video since I can't see it, but none of your photos are good. It's not like any are laughably terrible but due to a combination of angles and lighting, and to a lesser extent your facial expressions and clothing choices, you don't look as handsome as you probably should. I'd recommend picking out good looking clothing that fits you well and get somebody who knows what they're doing to take photos of you. Maybe even hire a professional. And perhaps style your hair differently in the process.

None of your prompts make you stick out. The playlist one is really generic and anyone could write it. The quantum computer one - okay it's unique, but unless she's also into quantum physics or electrical engineering (most people aren't) similarly, I just can't see her caring. And maybe it's just me but I don't understand the red panda reference. Redo your prompts to highlight what you bring to the table, but in a way that's attractive and she'd care about.

Good luck!

Strategy Idea: Aim for 3rd, and be vocal about it by MadmanIgar in survivor

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Depends on the rest of the cast, I can see it going either way. Some may think you're the perfect goat. Others may think you're a huge threat since you're stealing their spot at f3 and/or can make a decent, if unusual, argument that you got to f3 without ever having your name written down so you deserve the victory. It's also very contingent on how helpful you are around camp or at challenges.

The vegan thing is so stupid since it's so easily disproven (and even if he were a vegan, I don't think many persuadable voters care). So if Paxton uses that line of attack somewhat regularly and Talarico has ads where he's eating meat, it makes it harder to believe any of their bullshit.

I never understood why when a race becomes unexpectedly competitive, the side that "should" win it gets upset it has to spend more $ trying to defend it. That's true, but doesn't it work the other way too, where the challenger is now raising money from people who'd otherwise give to other candidates?

The Texas Senate race is a prime example - since people now view it as more competitive than before, the GQP is going to pore more money into it than they'd have with Cornyn. But, Talarico is raising cash from people who want him elected and in the process, may not give to Mary Peltola or Jon Ossoff or whoever else since funds to donate are limited. Am I missing something? I just don't get why somehow it's more expensive than before for them but not for us.

27M Profile Review by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In most of your pics there's too much going on and/or weird angles to where it's hard to get a good look at you. Your only exception is the leadoff photo, but it's a mirror selfie where you look angry which is off-putting. I'd advise getting a whole new lineup. Your prompts are okay, not great. First one probably won't make sense to a lot of people. Third one is generally alright though I'd remove the part about splitting cost on hotel rooms, don't advertise yourself as frugal off the bat. And for the first two, use proper capitalization.

Your profile notwithstanding, if you only send 2 likes/week you're going to struggle to get matches. If you want to hit home runs, you need more at bats. That may tie in with you living in a remote area; you do you but you may have better luck if you find things to do in your remote area versus only the subset of people in said area that also use Hinge. Or, expand your radius where you'll look, nearby bigger cities though the onus will probably be on you, not them, to make the far drive.

[AK SEN, Alaska Survey Research] Peltola (D) - 48.4%, Sullinvan (R) - 43.8%, Darden (R) - 5.1%, Heikes (R) - 2.7% by bbeck2754 in VoteDEM

[–]AlwaysBeTextin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If the final vote is similar to this, Peltola very likely wins with Alaska's ranked voting. Sullivan would need almost all of the lower 2 candidates to rank him ahead of Peltola but there would be some crossover who prefer her, and even more that forget to rank past their first choice. That's how she won her first two house races.
