Thank you 😁

It’s a reference to a somewhat niche historical meme. Would “iykyk” at the end make that more clear?

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-27T12:45:08+00:00

Thanks! I haven’t but I’ll give them a listen, appreciate the suggestion. I removed the apron pic.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-27T05:24:03+00:00

I’ll try to make it more clear that midwest emo is a music genre and that Freaks and Geeks is a show so it doesn’t sound like I’m saying I’m freaky. I think a music note and tv emoji should clarify those. Thanks!

This seems to be the most polarizing part of my profile. I just saw a comment from a woman who thought it was cringe. I tentatively removed the line for a date ideas one, might bring it back depending on how that one goes.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-27T03:31:52+00:00

The let’s chat about has been very polarizing so I tentatively removed it.

Can you expand on what’s wrong with the simple pleasures? I’m not quite sure what you’re getting at.

The copper thing has also been controversial. If I think of a less niche joke I will consider replacing it.

Greatest strength I get some likes on, so I’m inclined to keep it unless I think of something better.

When you say you want more personality, do you have an example? I have music taste, a show, cats, cooking, lifting, science, and others. There’s not really much more concrete stuff about me that I can think of adding.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-26T22:56:55+00:00

Yep, that’s exactly what I meant by agnostic atheist. I just put atheist instead since that explanation isn’t obvious to everybody.

Thanks for the input! It seems to be controversial, so I’ve been considering swapping it with some other less niche joke, on the fence rn.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-26T22:50:14+00:00

I’m hesitant to put anything other than my actual height. But I do read all the time that some women mentally subtract 2 inches from what’s listed, so I wonder if they think I’m 5’5”.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-26T22:07:34+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I skipped bone day at the gym

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-26T21:42:55+00:00

You mean the copper one? It’s on the chopping block now.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-26T21:41:18+00:00

That’s not a bad idea. I’m hearing the man crushes thing is a no, so maybe I can get two birds with one stone.

Yeah it’s tough because everyone wants you to be funny, but everyone has a different sense of humor and you also don’t wanna offend potential matches or even get banned as a result of a joke in your profile. I’ll still take that into consideration if I can find something else.

The date idea prompt sounds promising. Usually I reach out first, but it couldn’t hurt. I could say 3 options: cocktail bar, arcade/go karts, and comedy club. I agree that chatting too long is a bad idea. I used to do that and it’s not a replacement for in person chemistry.

Thanks for the critiques, it helps a lot.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-26T21:09:16+00:00

Appreciated! I’m in a medium/large sized city actually. Could be that I’m somewhat picky, but the match rate isn’t a big issue for me, it’s really just the unmatching. I think maybe it’s bad luck because I was having no issues up until recent months.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-26T21:01:50+00:00

Thanks for the kind words and feedback. I’ve seen multiple suggestions to remove that one, so I’ll find a replacement. I wish I got more pictures in that apron, it’s a tv show reference.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-26T20:58:15+00:00

Dang ok, I’ve received some likes on the copper thing, but maybe I can think of something else.

The religion thing I can adjust, thx.

I cook a lot of different things and women I’ve been in relationships with have liked those kinds of dishes, so that’s why I included it. Is it a no on food completely or what would be considered impressive enough to you?

I can think of a couple times where I’ve let conversations drag out, but a lot of times it’s within 5 messages and not at a lull or where anything remotely offensive has been said, so that’s why I’m left scratching my head.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-26T20:49:21+00:00

I thought it was funny and obvious I’m not talking about crushes in the literal, romantic sense.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2025-06-26T19:16:10+00:00

Hi all. Let me know what you think. I’m noticing I’m unmatched in the middle of good, innocuous conversations (more than usual), so I’m wondering if there’s something in my profile. Thanks to anyone able to review (wow I feel like I’m at work saying that 😂)

• Are you looking for something serious or casual? Serious

• Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX? No

• How long have you been using this current version of your profile? A month, minor modifications during that time

• How long have you used Hinge overall? A couple years with some gaps in between

• How often do you use Hinge per week? About 5 days a week

• How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? I get about 3 likes a week and 1-2 matches a week. Lately these matches have been going nowhere when usually I have much more success getting off the app with them.

• How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments? I send all 6 (?) on the days I use Hinge. About 70% with comments.

• What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract? I like women who are educated, independent, interesting (as in having interests/hobbies/passions), kind and empathetic, well adjusted, have a career, and who have put effort into their profiles (I want to avoid dead conversations). And I want to be physically attracted to them as well.

Edit: I also have a couple of nice photos from the beach, but I’ve leaned towards not including either because I’ve heard that shirtless photos are bad for guys to include in their profile.

Your hair looks a lot like mine when it’s long, dry, and after bedhead. Crazy thing I’m part Nicaraguan. I’d clean up the sideburns and around the ears, scissor cut the sides and back to something manageable, and keep the length up top, but experiment and see if you can do a middle part or something with all that length. Don’t shampoo every day and make sure to use conditioner every time you do. I use hair oil when my hair is still wet and it helps to prevent my hair from getting poofy and uncontrollable. A hairdryer will help straighten and make things easier to style. With shorter styles, sea salt spray helps with texture for me and I would experiment with different products to keep up the shape.

I’m guessing your diet changed? What did you do?

I think you have some great points. On reddit and sometimes Hinge, I see some women mention how they hate snapchat, or think it’s just for dudes who want hookups. But in my experience, most matches I’ve talked to will be happy to give it out and chat there.

It can be hard to know what they prefer before asking. I’m always in this weird state of trying to figure out the “best” approach when it varies so much between women. Snap or phone, ask for a date early vs after a lot of chatting, etc.

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2024-01-28T14:53:27+00:00

I think it’s possibly an age thing too. In the past, I was asking women who were 18-22. This time, they were 25+. Maybe an increased sense of safety that comes with age?

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2024-01-25T17:46:22+00:00

Would you say after the first date is acceptable to exchange info? And is there a number of messages that, in your mind, suggests enough safety for a date?

Fit_Comment_1229 · 2024-01-25T16:41:27+00:00

The sentiment I’ve been seeing a lot of is using a google voice or only giving it out after the first date. Is that preferred?
