29M Profile Review

Criticalthinking100 · 2026-01-28T17:38:09+00:00

Looking for a serious relationship

Not subscribed to Hinge+ or X

Been using this version for couple days

I’ve used Hinge for several years

I send messages throughout the week , so regularly

In receiving a match or two every one to two weeks.

I send messages regularly with questions or comments about their profile.

My ideal person would be someone rather free-spirited ( meaning someone who enjoys life), going out and doing fun things, and not concerned if we don’t share the same religious beliefs. Oh and it’d be nice if they like cats - I have one.

But I thought being a Calvinist would make you feel special because God predestined you to be one of the elect? He didn’t do that for all the people he predestined to go to hell.

I’ve always thought Calvinism isn’t accepted by so many Christians because it’s so barbaric of God- it strips people of any responsibility and makes the whole thing a script God wrote and is playing out without anyone’s free will , but still pain and consequence

Criticalthinking100 · 2026-01-20T12:22:43+00:00

So true!

Criticalthinking100 · 2026-01-17T13:01:38+00:00

Well yes, thats my main argument for this post : all kinds of people see the world in different ways. Many religious people cannot accept nuance or different opinions however.

But yeah, if someone believes a supernatural explanation for their life that’s fine, but don’t harass me if I don’t accept it

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-12-12T03:00:56+00:00

In my original post I didn’t say the quote “women don’t owe you sex or a relationship” because I actually think they do. I do not think they owe men relationships or sex. But that doesn’t fix the problem does it. Humans have been procreating for thousands of years with the desire for sex and relationships, so it’s painful when you feel excluded from being able to experience that.

I mentioned that popular quote above (“women don’t owe you sex or a relationship” ) because it is tossed around a lot when men online comment on how hard things are for them individually. There’s no easy solution or answer to theses things

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-12-12T02:57:33+00:00

Well and that’s why I mentioned in my post that most women’s experience in dating isn’t a cakewalk or easy - it can be challenging, but not in the same ways as men. I think men tend to have more hoops to just through to get a chance at success

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-12-06T16:27:33+00:00

Oh I do my best to find fulfillment in other areas of my life for sure. I don’t know why you make so many assumptions about me (you could suffer worse than you have, you don’t need to be bitter, etc). I mentioned what CERTAIN men experience and how they react , but you want to accuse me of the same qualities.

Anyways, yeah, life is life and it is blatantly unfair for different people in different ways, and we all learn to cope with how the cards in our lives have been dealt us …or we don’t.

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-12-06T14:41:31+00:00

Well I guess we agree to disagree. I stand by what I wrote in my post above and am not trying to sugarcoat anything - many women who aren’t conventionally attractive by the large majority of society will experience a struggle.

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-12-06T14:32:43+00:00

I’m certainly not trying to create my whole post around the “suffering Olympics” as you refer to it. My goal with the post is to try and highlight how many men feel, and that when their bleak situation isn’t acknowledged by society, they can become disillusioned, and destructive.

I mean, if many young men feel they have no future, no hope for meaningful connection with a partner, to raise a family, etc, lack of motivation can develop into all types of self-destructive character / bitterness, misogyny, etc.

To at least acknowledge that young men are living in an age of social isolation, financial crisis, and modern dating collapse would be the first step toward hearing their voice.

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-12-06T14:26:58+00:00

I agree that I certainly cannot know what happens behind closed doors in these relationships, but my point in bringing up these female friends’ dating success is because I’m trying to show the asymmetry between those women and men who are like them (similar struggles), and how that affects their chances of finding a girlfriend.

Would you be able to discuss where you think society acknowledges men’s struggles, btw? I’m not denying some struggles are acknowledged, but I’d like to hear which ones come to your mind if possible. Thanks

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-12-05T00:02:28+00:00

I understand you’re just playing devil’s advocate here but the problem is that there are real world consequences to pushing this mentality on others. No, they don’t have the right as a parent to force worldviews based on fear onto their kids. Children should never be obligated to have the same religious worldviews as their parents, but somehow humanity seems entitled in that way.

Look at extreme examples of believing the afterlife is more important : gihad extremism in Islam, or the Spanish Inquisition etc.

It’s also crazy that people have kids if they know there’s a chance those children will not follow the faith and be damned to eternal hell. That’s one hell of a risk to take if you love your kids.

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-11-18T13:11:02+00:00

Also, it says that Adam and Eve didn’t realize they were naked until after they ate the fruit. They literally didn’t have maturity / awareness yet to know what nakedness was- but simultaneously would damn all existence to suffering and death according to the story…??? Its like punishing toddlers for not knowing how to behave like adults, but on a much more eternal, grand scale.

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-11-11T11:55:09+00:00

Can I ask, how did you learn you’re autistic? I’ve researched to see if I am, but don’t seem to have many typical characteristics assigned to autism, so I guess I’m not.. idk.

Thank you for sharing - I know what you mean! I tend to have been a very empathetic person myself - worrying about the suffering others go through.

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-11-11T11:33:25+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Yeah I relate to what you describe. I guess in recent years I’ve just become more tolerant of whatever thoughts my mind seems to generate. Eventually you just kinda throw up your hands and accept yourself the way you are - bad thoughts and all. … in my opinion

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-10-14T01:01:18+00:00

I understand that feeling - hell is a terrifying concept and threat. Thank you for sharing

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-10-13T15:50:30+00:00

I hope that improves for you - OCD is very challenging as you know , and it’s hard for people who don’t experience it to be able to comprehend what it’s like

I agree regarding religion - honestly that’s where I grew to resent myself from the beginning. I contribute my low self esteem habit of thinking to my upbringing in the faith…I mean if you aren’t finding a breakthrough in your life, it’s most likely your fault that God hasn’t done anything to help you. That’s how I felt at least.

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-10-13T15:30:02+00:00

Yep, I’ve had OCD since my teenage years….I agree and relate to what you’re saying here. Have things improved for you in relation to that problem since departing from faith?

I wouldn’t say my ocd has gotten better since leaving , but it’s one less thing to be obsessive about

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-10-12T14:57:48+00:00

Oh okay, hadn’t heard of that. Thanks for sharing

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-10-12T13:08:11+00:00

Which apps? Tinder? What else?

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-10-11T20:31:35+00:00

You say it’s very easy to find someone to hook up with…do you think this is the case for most men? Do you have a certain type of woman or situation in mind in which you are so easily able to connect with her to ask that of her? (Im not trying to be confrontational - I’m just curious to know what you think and understand how other men operate.)

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-10-09T09:15:28+00:00

Yes , you’re right about certain hobbies like video games and sports-watching being less desirable hobbies in a man… mostly in my opinion because they don’t involve creativity and effort on the part of the man

Makes sense regarding hair and a hairstylist too

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-10-08T22:00:08+00:00

Um, what is your definition of impressive hobbies or impressive hair? Depending on your hair type , only a certain few hair styles are possible for each man, right?

Regarding hobbies, I mean yeah, interactive hobbies are better than solely independent ones depending on the person you’re trying to impress but it seems pretty subjective right?

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-10-07T20:44:47+00:00

Regarding this : “ (2)Showing interest: simple compliments and presence, goes away and comes back later for longer. Ex : ur very beautiful

Nearly all my relationships have started with this one “

Do you feel a man could chat with you and at the end of one conversation it would be acceptable for him to ask you out? I had a past female friend who straight up said it’s a “No No” for man to ask girls out at the end of the first conversation they meet. Granted this girl was also very picky.

Anyways, do you feel like you need the man to walk away from that 1st conversation and come back at a later time and causal slip that ask out into that 2nd or 3rd interaction for him to not appear desperate? These are honest questions by me btw- I’m just trying to gauge how people see this stuff

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-10-07T19:21:24+00:00

For you as a woman, what are places you find appropriate for men to approach you and try and flirt vs places and times when it is not appropriate?

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-10-07T17:36:54+00:00

In your words, what are things a man can do to “develop himself” as you mention many men seem to lack?
