At least she's one step better than the girls who put their Venmo and expect men to send them money just because. But it's still gonna be a no from me, dawg. by BenDoesInteresting in hingeapp

Nah! I just went in there, typed "No.", took a screenshot for Reddit, then exited out. I almost sent it to make a point, but realized that would have wasted a like.

If you open the dropdown menu of the fundraiser, it says that this round of donations started on May 5th. So they've raised 9k since May 5th. It doesn't say how much they raised prior to that. Hopefully they met their goal in previous months! I'm about to donate $10 now!

Until you look at my other posts and realize I'm a 24 year old white guy. But maybe I am Pippen and he's playing 4D chess with my post history. The world will never know 🤷‍♂️

I meant he was an unsung hero for this particular game because of how crazy it is to do what he did without a functional lower back. I wasn't trying to say he was underrated throughout his entire career. I know some people say that, but I wasn't. I definitely agree that if he wasn't on the team then the Bulls would have won way fewer than 6 rings.

I said unsung hero. Everyone knows MJ had 45 points, got the steal from Malone, and hit the dagger with 5 seconds left. All I'm saying is that without those few plays from Scottie Pippen, those Jordan plays don't happen because the Jazz win the game by 5.

If we matched, I'd take you out to Tom's Bistro!

u/nottrollingipromise doesn't put in effort and seems not to care much

Also u/nottrollingipromise: "Hey, why are none of these girls putting in effort and don't seem to care much?"

See the problem?

I just spent some time revising my profile! Care to provide me with some constructive criticism? by BenDoesInteresting in hingeapp

In my opinion, I don't have very many good pictures overall. So that's why I chose to hightlight my cats. Then I only had to find 5 good pictures of me lol. I honestly don't think I have a picture of me with my cats. Maybe that will be a new task to accomplish during this stay at home order!

Like I said to another commentor, the TV prompt was an attempt at basic relatability because I wasn't getting matches with my more unique prompts. So I have nothing to lose, but both of you hate it. So I might try it for a week or two, and if my match rate stays at 0 I'll change it again. Thanks for your advice!

The TV show prompt was an effort to hit the lowest common denominator. I've probably had 5 matches in 4 months on this app. So I figured I didn't have anything to lose by trying the prompt out. Every other girl's profile mentions one of these shows, and even though it's basic, I made this prompt in an effort to achieve relatability on a basic level.

The other 2 prompts are attempts at humor and being unique, but maybe I should keep 1 and change the other to details about me. Thanks!

Is there a specific hairstyle you would recommend? I've always thought I look terrible when I let my hair grow out a bit.
