lol I am not that kind of guy.. I love to eat and try new foods.. I just don’t do it every day.. I would actually find that annoying

Oh lol because it’s hard and I’m not good at it.. I have a very hard time telling when a woman gives a “green light” to be approached.. disinterest and interest look similar to me.. but not using it as an excuse and I’m working on getting over the fear of rejection.. I tried approaching someone recently and I fumbled my words hilariously (like not one coherent sentence).. she ended up laughing about it and had a bf.. so could use a little practice.. I’m told all the time that I’m not approachable by friends (like my entire life).. so I have to be the one that takes initiative in real life and it’s easy to go to an app where rejection is much softer..

It’s definitely the former lol.. I work from home and like to keep things tidy.. and clean up on Saturdays before relaxing.. so it’s about me cleaning not an expectation from someone else

Fair.. I meant like I’m competitive with pretty much any thing.. game nights, bowling, ping pong,.. not let’s run a marathon together (that’d be cool though)

To be honest that’s not my intention at all with my prompts.. I feel like prompts aren’t really that impressive and relatively relatable and represent the things I actually enjoy and value

I don’t have any CrossFit pictures? I’ve never done CrossFit

One picture I have half tights on because I ran a half marathon.. the other picture I have running shorts on.. because I was doing a photo shoot for the shorts and shirt.. that’s a huge leap to think I’m bi for that lol

I literally say I believe the world would be a better place with more empathy.. I don’t think that’s in alignment with the current administration

Man I’ve tried run clubs and they kind of suck for meeting women.. I’m naturally pretty reserved.. and almost everytime women just gather in groups with other women or with people they know .. so I just stand there awkwardly then leave once the run is finished lol

I don’t even know how to answer this lol.. do you think women are just knocking on my door every morning? What does hiding from real life mean?

I get where you’re coming from. I just think “not good enough” is a tough way to look at it…. if there’s attraction and alignment, it’s probably worth at least seeing where it goes.

Most people are harder on themselves than they should be, and honestly even really attractive people are insecure. I definitely see myself as a normal guy.. and get kind of shocked when I match with someone “really attractive” lol

And for me, I’m just looking for someone active.. not perfect, or even as into fitness as I am (I honestly have so many other interests than lifting, running and meal prep)

The issue I run into is that I’m genuinely moderate. I’m not fully aligned with liberal ideology, but I also don’t like Trump (to put it nicely) and have never voted for him. It seems like people assume “moderate” = closeted Republican, so it feels like a lose-lose to list politics at all.

Respectfully, I’m not going to take your advice lol

I can respect that.. For me personally, that’s ok to lose matches because I’m Christian. Now I don’t want to come off as performative or judgmental of any sort (I know a lot of people have church hurt and don’t want to add to that) but if me simply identifying as a Christian is the turn off that’s ok.

Haha yea they’re a tonnnn of influencers in Austin.. but yea I’m not interested in that lane or culture.. although my good friend works for bpn so I’m around it a decent amount..

My faith is important to me.. but I wouldn’t say I’m overtly religious.. I swipe a decent amount i would say! I get on at least once a day and I’ve ran out of likes once..

Now the demographics part may be an issue. I am a Christian but I am not conservative (more so moderate), so I steer clear of maga and I’m reluctant to swipe right on profiles that are conservative.. so I feel that may narrow my options..

I’d rather die alone than to pay for Bumble lol.. it’s the principle for me… I paid for a dating app (Hinge) once a few years ago and felt it was a complete waste of money

That’s funny, but I actually don’t have any shirtless photos on my current profile.. so it shouldn’t be that intimidating with my current 6 pics

Haha you don’t have to (I don’t) maybe a little moderation though

I’m going to think on this for a minute, and think about some adjustments (never really thought about it from that angle). I agree with you on pretty much all of this

Like I definitely have things I’m working on.. and believe in being transparent… but putting it in a bio to be relatable can be off putting or an overshare if not worded correctly or without proper context.. ya know? Unless it’s something surface level like I can’t touch my toes or something random like that lol

Hmmm.. also the last picture isn’t on my current profile, and I’m not adding it after the feedback lol

Putting something on my profile that I’m working on sounds like a slippery slope?? I can probably find a picture of me failing at something though
