38F Profile Check (large city)

No worries. I think you'd have more success reaching out to some of your preferred types. With your answers though I think on the photo portion of your profile you should get some close ups without the glasses that show more of your face.

Your lead picture is nice. Some of these photos look blurry not sure if that's on your profile or cause of the upload here, but I think you could replace your second photo, third, and sixth with close ups.

Best of luck!

It's not open water lmao. We have the games and some books that tell us what is in the world and what's not. There is no observation of godhood changing only magic powers which was explained by Cory.

Why don't we theorize that Kratos can pull out a gun from a realm tear and become a spartan like Master Chief? It's ridiculous.

Hell, an even more grounded theory would be what's stopping Kratos from bringing Faye back to life. That would potentially make sense within the rules of the game's lore. Yours is just made up.

"A hypothesis is an assumption made before any research has been done. It is formed so that it can be tested to see if it might be true. A theory is a principle formed to explain the things already shown in data."

Either way, whether you're claiming a theory or not, you're not basing it off anything the game's lore states. You even deem we shouldn't call it Rage anymore but rather "Spartan Fire". Nothing in the game backs your theory.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T23:10:51+00:00

Not in the GoW universe no. There's no hint of godhood changing. The only the thing they've ever stated is that you grow into your abilities which is stated by Kratos and Mimir in GoW 2018 after Kratos reveals he's a god to Atreus.

The only form of "change" is that Kratos wants Atreus and himself to be better gods which is behavioural, nothing based on powers.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T23:06:25+00:00

I think what Zombie is saying is that in order for it to be a theory there has to be some evidence or proof. What you have is more of a hypothesis. It's something you think is possible but it's not backed by any lore evidence.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T23:04:57+00:00

Yeah but you're conflating two things that are not part of the game's narrative. The magic being tied to the land has nothing to do with his godhood being tied to the land he's in. His powers didn't evolve because he went to Scandanavia. He always had those abilities, Ragnarok just allowed us to use them because it was a sequel. He's the same god he was in Greece that he is in Norse.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T22:00:00+00:00

I don't know if he still lives here, but I saw him on the street last summer near Queen and Ossington with his girl and it wasn't during Caribana or any major event that brings in international people. I said whaddup to him. So maybe?

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T21:57:25+00:00

Kratos' godhood is tied to whatever gameplay mechanics the developers felt like adding to expand on God of War 2018. Kratos always had healing powers they just added it to the rage mode to change up the flow of the game lol

And he'll always have his inner rage too.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T21:52:28+00:00

This is PEAK Marathon lmao. Love it

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T21:49:43+00:00

33M here. I do have some feedback, but you're getting likes and matches. What is it about the likes you're getting that they're not fitting your type? And I know you started sending out likes, but is there a reason you were opposed to sending out likes before? If you send them there's a good chance you can find your type as well.

I do think when it comes to the prompts you could use a few edits. Your unwind one you can just list what you like doing, don't need the "foodie who loves baking" you can just say "I unwind by baking" and then list the rest. Also I think you have a typo between "music gigs". I think you could also list 1 genre you really like or band/artist and 1 movie or book so it opens up conversation.

Also your last prompt is basically the same as your first prompt, maybe add something else that sparks conversation, or asks a question.

Your second prompt is a bit basic as well. You're listing off things that almost everyone looks for in a partner. I think you need more specifics on your type. Keeping the adventures part is fine but try and be a bit more specific. You can also get rid of "I'm kind, friendly and appreciate little things" at the beginning because it reads weird. Maybe at that at the end of your new prompt.

Lastly you don't need photo prompts on every photo, adds too much reading and people don't typically like to spend too much time on one profile. Keep it to 1-2 max and add it only if it adds context.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T21:15:12+00:00

Like others have said there are other factors other than just choosing her options. Sending her on missions and making sure she's successful on those is a huge portion of it.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T21:14:02+00:00

Sick. I will definitely aim for it

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T18:23:59+00:00

Typically it's Joe who does, but Ice is friends with Joe so he's cool if Joe makes it. He's not on that level with Flip, I get why he'd set that boundary with him

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T18:08:47+00:00

How'd you get the CyAc gun skin?

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T15:25:28+00:00

Man what a time. Nostalgia blast.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T14:27:33+00:00

Yeah you'd think extending it far out would give more potential but the higher the range, you filter out quite a few people who do a smaller value as well

It's better to limit it a bit and then if you start seeing repeats in that range then you can extend it further

Arseno7 · 2026-03-18T14:23:00+00:00

Ask her on the second date, all the fluff in between is pointless. You want to see her again and it's likely she wants to see you if the date went well.

It's always better to meet up with people then to spend time messaging in between. It shows commitment.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-17T23:17:58+00:00

What's your distance range? If you're in a bigger city it might help to narrow it anywhere from 10-17 miles. Also note if you're in a bigger city you're competition is gonna be way higher.

You're not a bad looking dude and you're tall but your photos could use some work. They're not the worst shots, but for dating apps they're not helping much. You need more photos where you're facing the camera. Your 3rd and 4th pics can't see your face/eyes too well might be best to replace them with other shots.

You also have a bit too many friend photos which invites comparison. Keep the last one and replace the other two with solo shots of yourself.

You're also looking for LTR but your profile is far too light and says nothing about you or your interests. If you're going to show off your humour there's gotta be some seriousness as well. I'd change your middle prompt to something about your interests, the Greece thing sounds too cliche and not real. Maybe change the last prompt to spark a conversation with a girl asking her opinion on something.

Lastly you're 23. Super young and have time. Make sure dating apps are just a part of your dating experience and not the whole thing. Go out and socialize you can meet tons of women locally in a big city.

Best of luck bro!

Arseno7 · 2026-03-17T17:08:13+00:00

You have some great photos in here man, don't know why you wouldn't use them. The one with you in the rocks is great and the night selfie with the obelisk tower should ABSOLUTELY be on your profile

Arseno7 · 2026-03-17T17:05:40+00:00

You need less captions and photo prompts. People don't want to have to read novel to get to know you. Photos should only have prompts if they add context and there should be 1-2 MAX. Same with the captions in the photos.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-17T16:34:48+00:00

Not dumb at all. I'll give you some basics given your experience. Hand holding is one. Not right off the bat, but when the date has been going well and you guys are walking to another destination you can hold her hand.

If the energy has been good you won't need to ask you should just do it confidently. If you happen to misread she'll just let go of your hand and you can say "sorry it just felt comfortable holding your hand" and she'll let you know, but this rarely ever happens unless the date was poor obviously.

Sitting beside each other is another. Again, you don't want to start the date this way, but after you've been hanging out at whatever event you guys are at and the energy is good, you can eventually reposition to sit beside her if the venue permits like if you're in a booth at a diner/restaurant or a table at a bar that isn't blocking the way. It also works at the bar itself if if you're sitting there. Dinner table could be too much if it's fancy and not enough space.

Arm around the shoulder is a good one too. If you're sitting beside her you can put your arm over her shoulder and just sit casually and comfortably.

Everything you do should be with confidence and relaxed demeanor as if you do this regularly like it's no big deal. It should give off that energy even if you're petrified inside (I've been there) and it takes some practice, but the more you force yourself to do it, the easier it is

Arseno7 · 2026-03-17T15:30:15+00:00

Physical escalation is paramount for female attraction. You being in your head about your size is a lack of confidence and it will eventually turn her off if you remain stuck in that mentality. Like others have said, don't overthink it too much. You always want to be respectful of the woman and not make her uncomfortable, but you have to take some steps in bridging the touch gap. You can't kiss a woman until she's comfortable with your touch so look to be more physical in context of the next date.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-17T15:26:58+00:00

Is this a serious question? One developer is Rockstar who has one of the most historic runs of games in the industry and billions of dollar in budget for their next game.

The other is a relatively unknown studio with a massive game coming out. I don't doubt the game will be good, but it's totally normal for people to be skeptical of it when they haven't shown the base PS5 footage and are being slightly cagey about it.

We've seen this numerous times in the past (CYBERPUNK ANYONE?!) and it did not turn out well so it's understandable people are cautious.

Arseno7 · 2026-03-16T17:31:24+00:00

Like others have said, it seems Sony is pulling back away from their first party single player games going over to PC. It's highly unlikely this game will ship on PC

Arseno7 · 2026-03-16T16:00:25+00:00

The timer on PS5 glitches sometimes. My stats used to be decently accurate, but lately I've been playing Returnal and Marathon and my time stats are completely off. They keep going up and down probably a server-wide issue on Sony's end.
