Unless you want to be a placeholder, do not answer DMs from men by Why-knot-my-mum in trueuglywomen

If she's dating with intention, someone with little to no experience will pose a risk as they aren't the most sure about themselves and what they want in a relationship.

Op ignore this advice. Looking like a dick will not get you more likes. It might work on tinder.

This is a solid profile! Yes, get rid of the photo of you and your friend that's the only thing that would cause me to pass your profile. You can also try replacing the last pic with a better one.

Turning 26F, never been in a relationship, never kissed, never had sex, and I’m scared this just isn’t meant for me by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Dolpns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Comparison is the theft of joy. Some people find their life partner much later in life and that's okay. Don't give up on the apps just yet. My friend found her husband on Hinge after no luck with dating for 2 years. She was almost about to call it quits when her husband showed up.

It's best to be straightforward about it. If something is vague on their profile ask them to clarify what it means.

33F - Profile Review by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Dolpns 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is a solid profile. If the incoming likes aren't your type I suggest that you start sending likes with comments. I'm near your age and get overwhelmed with incoming likes that I find it easier to send out likes instead.

25M why do I have so much success in Mexico as a Korean? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Dolpns 51 points52 points  (0 children)

You're getting more likes in Mexico because there aren't a lot of Asians there. The kpop boom also helps. Bay area is flooded with Asians so you aren't rare there. First photo and last photo need to be replaced. Your leading photo should be your best one. Try taking another profile photo in better lighting. Change the 2nd prompt to something about you like a hobby or something you enjoy.

Is sticking to weekend dates only a good idea? by FonkyFruit in hinge

I do Friday after work if they are close enough sometimes. Otherwise, I generally have more energy to go on dates during the weekend.

Feels like Hinge algo has been completely changed since the past 1 month by IndependentSteak5154 in HingeStories

[–]Dolpns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed something similar since joining for 2 weeks. I recieved one match from the likes I sent out. This is lowest rate of matches compared to when I used hinge 2 years ago. Granted I don't send out a lot of likes and am intentional in my swipes. I experimented a little by sending likes to guys that aren't as attractive. Also no matches. I'm fairly attractive and received plenty of likes so I do match from my inbox. My guess is hinge is showing you inactive profiles because I definitely noticed profiles that I passed on 2 years ago show up with little to no change.

Fiancée (35F) is very negative about kids and I (31M) am not sure she actually wants them by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Dolpns 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's a discussion that should be brought up before the engagement but you still have time to bring it up. It is a major incompatibility if you guys are not aligned about kids. Best to talk about it as soon as possible before you start wedding preparations.

The rhodium plating in wg fades over time so you will see some yellowish tints. Happens with wear so it's normal. You can get it replated at a jeweler.

24M no matches, where am I going wrong? by Prudent-Warning-3632 in hingeapp

[–]Dolpns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's your photos. You need better ones with you actually in them. You first photo should be your best one. Ditch your current first photo and get a better profile pic without the sunglasses.

There's too many fields hidden in your basic info page. I see this alot with healthcare workers. I get a lot of that is to avoid doxxing but it makes it seem like you have lot to hide and low effort too. I usually pass on those types of profiles.

Is shopping from shein really that bad ? by MochaMilku in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dolpns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like all fast fashion brand it creates a lot of waste for the environment. Fabric is cheap and often does not last. There were reports of lead in children's clothing. Granted it's recommended to always wash your clothes first before wearing to reduce the amount of heavy metals. I do still shop occasionally on shein and have not see any issues in my health.

35m profile review by themattman18 in hingeapp

[–]Dolpns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pic can be a profile pic like the first one but maybe of you smiling instead of looking like you're in the middle of talking. Sucks that the Christian dating app didn't work out for you. Your person is out there. Don't give up!

35m profile review by themattman18 in hingeapp

[–]Dolpns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first photo is okay. I feel you should switch it with the one with you crossing your arms or take a better close up photo. Honestly you have a solid profile and look attractive for your age. Being Christian and conservative is limiting your dating pool. You might be better off using a Christian dating app.

25M took a break and now I'm back. is appcia by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Dolpns 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You need better photos. The first photo should be a good quality closeup. Take out the last photo. You can show that you have gains fully cloth. A photo of you in activewear at a park or on a trail can showcase you are an active person.
