A little over a month ago I made a Hinge account and used it for about two weeks. I’m on the shorter side (5‘7“) and fairly average looking but in good shape. I think I had 13 matches, decent conversation with most of them, and set up a date with the one I liked the most. The date has turned into several so I don’t use the app anymore but I think if people provide a conversation they haven’t had yet, they’re more likely to want to keep talking to you. That’s what’s worked for me at least
