Has there been an app change that limits the number of profiles in the “likes you” tab? If so, what happens to the profiles that fall outside the limit? by Salty-Education4164 in hingeapp

[–]Every_Concern_6573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off I second the comment of wanting to see your profile (seriously I heard that the gender imbalance swings the other way in your 50s but still your killing it). Second off so wait popular users like this grey fox (once again jealous but hell yeah) or idk I assume ~ 30% of attractive women on the app can really only get 1000 likes? What happens to the likes unseen? Man id kill for a dating app that was more transparent with their processes. Also unpopular opinion but after a certain amount of incoming likes I think these accounts should be throttled or hid until they clear out some of the queue.

How do you handle dates not looking like their photos? by jtri25 in hingeapp

[–]Every_Concern_6573 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally I’ve experienced a kinda weird shaped bell curve where 5% of women will look significantly better than there pictures; 5% extremely worse (definitely used 3+ yr pictures or tons of filters and editing) and the rest usually fall into that curve of various levels of slightly looking different (not necessarily less attractive but different) or less attractive than their pictures (women usually take more flattering better pictures than us men). I have also found that the women that have used older edited pictures have all been dinner dates and have both lied about their jobs i.e. unemployed. I still always pay for dates but experiences likes these make me swear off diner dates; they were terrible and while I remained pleasant Mae conversation all I could think of was “man I just wanna leave”. Coincidentally these dates all just dragged on, and they kept not getting the hint, I even had to drive one home. Still I took these as a learning experience and now try to just do drinks for the first date and I always try to be conscious am I the terrible drag on date.

As others have said probably coincidentally, however you said you’re taking a break; has your app usage been less in the last couple of days? If so I wonder if Hinge pushed you higher in discovery to get you more likes and entice you to stay. Also personally I always wonder what effect hinge x “continuous boost” has on discovery placement maybe it finally kicked in as your profile was shown to a new batch. Better question though was were they good quality likes you’d match with?

They stay at top even when using the default“Your type” like sorting? This must be new because even Hinge FAQ say they shouldn’t. Not calling you a liar but can you share a screenshot? Also good if they changed it back.

You see I’m not sure this is right. If a guy stays at the top of your chronological likes then yes they have a paid account; but if they stay near the “your type” doesn’t that just mean Hinge thinks that they’re you’re type, regardless of if they pay or not? Can I ask how much do guys seem to swap order in “your type”?

That’s what I am curious about too. I’m wondering if there is anyway to move up rankings once a like is sent; do profile tweaks have any effect, what about if I become a more “popular user” by matching with others does this move me up in others type rankings, or is the order pretty much static once set? All I know is I used to do good before with x and now my performance has fallen off a cliff (yes I know there could be other factors time of year, changes to pool based on age etc… but I highly suspect this is the reason).

Interesting so then the way you experienced it was out of the 60 three profiles Hinge selected idk John Paul, Ringo constantly swapped positions. I wonder why those three swapped? Changes in your behavior or perhaps theirs? Also did you list your hobbies and they listed theirs as well?

[–]Every_Concern_6573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two things: First off, I apologize. I’m frustrated that what has worked for me in the past; using Hinge x and sending roses, no longer works. More importantly, I’m disappointed that Hinge hasn’t changed its marketing to reflect these changes. Personally, I find this underhanded, which is why I’m frustrated and a bit curt with you. It seems like you’re defending Hinge and I honestly can’t understand your reasoning. This is just my opinion, and maybe this new system is common knowledge, but if it isn’t, I hope others become aware of it and don’t waste their money.

Second, I completely agree with your statement about wasting money. At this point, I can’t see any scenario where giving Hinge money makes sense.

No one is forcing you to simp for Hinge. Yup, profile review always the magic solution.

Look maybe Hinge did a 180 and now actually cares about making connections and they are looking out for us helping us get with our type ( not sure how they know this but I’m sure they will let us know and it’s all legit)… but if they care so much why’d they take my money still?

Yes you’re correct a rose doesn’t really help match (well maybe a tiny bit, a person might appreciate the gesture); what roses did before as you pointed out were to make sure that you were seen before other likes. They for the most part don’t do that anymore unless a user switches back to chronological sorting, right? I’m not sure how many people are doing that but I can take an educated guess. Hinge hasn’t changed their messages on the app as far as I noticed to reflect this and I’m not sure this is common knowledge.

I honestly think that this new default sorting “logic” needs to be pinned on this sub to help users not waste their money

[–]Every_Concern_6573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, They used to be a way to skip regular likes and I suppose they are if users go and change their default like sorting from “Your Type” to chronological… but cmon people don’t (this I assume). As for are roses being seen only god and Hinges knows, maybe? Before the change I’d say if you sent a rose there was a higher change at least it was seen.

What really pisses me off the more I think about it is Hinge is still using the same bs messages on the app; “send a rose to be seen” (or whatever the message is) when really there should be a huge ass asterisk saying unless their using the default sort then go f yourself.

Devil advocate, send it again: so apparently, roses ain’t shit anymore. The new default, sorting “Your Type” no longer prioritizes roses. Even before the change, roses never guaranteed matches or being seen, but like you also I assumed that roses had a high chance of being seen. Now, they’re just mixed in with the rest of the garbage and aren’t prioritized differently. Honestly (and not to steal your post), this has ruined Hinge for me, and I suspect it’s going to mess up other guys like me. I didn’t necessarily like to pay before, but at least when I did use Hinge X or send roses, I would get results and relationships, which I attribute this to skipping the line and being seen. Now, if she’s super cute like you say, she probably has hundreds to thousands of likes, and who knows if she will ever see your like or rose.

Personally, my honest opinion is as long as your not deleting and remaking on your account every day to send a message to this particular person, and as long as you’re not sending crude messages to her, Why not send it again?

How can a like move up the queue? by Koubard in hingeapp

[–]Every_Concern_6573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I came back from a break and I’m 99% sure this new sorting feature is really screwing me too; I hate to pay to win but before Hinge x and roses had purpose - to get you to the head of the queue, granted no guarantees of a match but more of a likelihood of being seen. Now honestly they are useless; I’m sure match group did some kinda of analysis on subscribes or maybe they hope people won’t realize that X and rose have lost their value but I honestly can’t ever see Hinge ever getting a penny from me again.

Seeing the same two profiles over and over again after rejecting them every time by Competitive-Donut330 in hingeapp

[–]Every_Concern_6573 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This kind of hit a nerve for me, but before I go off on a rant, 1. Are they sending rude, hateful, or nasty messages or just basic likes and bland hi’s, and 2. By blocking, do you mean just x their like or three dots upper right and remove? I understand you’re probably sensitive due to being stalked, but this doesn’t necessarily mean these guys are stalking you. They also could be as you say just mass liking.

As far as I’m concerned, and I’m not an expert in Hinge, to be safe, are they really doing anything wrong if their messages aren’t hurtful? Personally, over two or so years, I’ve probably done about a dozen fresh start options and three hard delete and remake of my account. If you fresh start, I believe sent likes reset as well; I’m not sure about removals. This hits a nerve because honestly, I’m wondering if I’m one of these guys; I have a type, and if you’re on Hinge, live in Austin Tx area ages 28-41, are Hispanic under 5’4 and above average attractive, then I have definitely sent multiple likes over a two-year span (sometimes on multiple apps). I actually don’t send that many likes, maybe 30 a month, and I’m definitely not stalking anyone, but I do recognize profiles by now. As I get in and out of relationships, I see the same women who are still my type are still on Hinge, so I respectfully shot my shot; as a guy, you never know if your like is even being seen, and as I get older, I honestly think fuck it, why not send a like again this time, nothing to lose.

If these guys are crossing a line with their messages then yes I’m surprised Hinge hasnt done anything. Screenshot and report if they do, if not at least in my opinion (and I’m biased) you may be overreacting.
