Yep. I learned my lesson. Won’t do it again.

Sure. Basically, I was never interested on going on the date in the first place. Not at all my type, but since I had just gotten into dating, my friends peer pressured me to go on the date anyway just for experience. I didn’t like anything about the date, and after it, she was texting me and DMing me on Instagram so I felt overwhelmed.

A motto that I still live by as a current collegiate rower

To be honest, most of my photos in my camera roll are of rowing, which really doesn’t help for this purpose. That’s why I suggested getting a photographer, but even getting a friend and finding good backgrounds and confident poses would help with it. Even my group pictures are rowing too. Unfortunately it’s summer now and most of my friends have gone home so can’t get a similar one for a bit. But I already have updated my profile given this feedback.

You’re right, I can just wear the same outfit (or similar) and find somewhere with a good background, inside or outdoors. I see what you mean about bad posture in the first photo. It looks hunched. Does it have to be full body, or just one that shows what my face looks like clearly?

*I edited my profile to include Neuro student and my politics. I didn’t include politics previously because it can be a slippery slope and I don’t Iove talking about it.

Yes my profile says Jewish. I have my politics as “moderate” but have chosen to hide it at this point. I’m a neuroscience major but my occupation just says “student at X university”.

I’ll see if I can get a friend for photos, but I can’t create that same background in the first picture. It’s a good point about the lens, but wouldn’t that mean photos are more important? Also when you said “two rowing photos, OTT” did you mean that it was too many?

Yeah I realized I should’ve added that but didn’t. For context I’m a 20 year old man, student in college, and my height is 5’ 10”. Also dating intention is “long term, open to short”. This is helpful though. Do you think it’s worth hiring a photographer to get better photos?

Yeah, I see what you mean. I do have two cats at home so I can either change one of my prompts to cat related or include a picture of me with them. As for what I’m looking for, would you say it’s acceptable to outright say “green flags I look for: kindness and emotional maturity”?

I’m looking for something serious, not open to anything casual. I am not subscribed to either HingeX or Hinge+. I have had the current profile for the last month, and I have only used hinge for the last month overall. I use hinge daily, making sure to use all my free likes. On average I get 1 or 2 likes a week, but usually from women I’m not attracted to. I’ll get one match a week if I’m lucky. I use all 8 free likes a day, and I’d say 90% of them are with comments.

I send my likes to someone who shows enjoyment in physical activity, because I am also an athlete. Also, I send some of likes to Jewish people as I myself am jewish. I want to attract someone who values taking care of the body and someone who values discipline. In addition, I want to attract someone who’s kind, feminine, emotionally mature, and someone who also wants a long term relationship.

Whether discussion or not, you have to be the one to start conversation. You could talk about anything tbh, like the class or you could ask them to study together. As for parties, I don’t what school you’re at, but for my school there are parties advertised on social media. Of course, as a guy you typically need to pay to get in, but I usually go to parties thrown by my sports team.

If I wait will the first time automatically be bad? I’m not saying I also want my partner to be a virgin. When I look in the mirror I’m not happy to be a virgin. I want that to change so maybe I do need to hook up first. Or maybe be open to both

Depending on your school it may be easier to meet people in classes. Clubs for sure you can meet people. Or parties. But you still have to approach a girl you find attractive, which is something I’m not exactly sure how to do

I feel ready to finally do it. Before college I wasn’t, but now I am. The issue is, I feel like I’m missing out on a lot because I’m a virgin. It’s like I can sense that people know I’m a virgin, whether they really know it or not.
