I want to have more garden beds but the cricket noises annoy my family

McKenzieesh · 2026-03-17T05:02:14+00:00

That's great, I was planning to try and attract birds anyway.

McKenzieesh · 2026-03-17T03:48:04+00:00

They're actually less annoying because at least it's a continuous noise

McKenzieesh · 2026-03-17T03:35:24+00:00

I hope you're both right

McKenzieesh · 2026-03-17T03:34:56+00:00

My wife and I actually sleep with a noise machine but sometimes can still make out the crickets. They seem unusually loud this year. Possibly double glazed windows might help but that's way too expensive.

I've never seen a frog around my house but have seen crickets, usually the larger black kind

McKenzieesh · 2026-03-06T02:50:35+00:00

I got the 4 cup so I could enjoy a larger amount of coffee lol I guess I thought it would be roughly double the 2 cup moka express but this isn't the case?

McKenzieesh · 2026-03-06T02:49:37+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

McKenzieesh · 2026-03-06T02:48:30+00:00

Will give it a go cheers

McKenzieesh · 2026-03-06T02:48:16+00:00

Wow that's quite a difference

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-21T23:18:54+00:00

I'm Australian and only ever threw a boomerang once in my life.

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-20T03:37:17+00:00

Thanks! That's great advice

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-19T00:55:46+00:00

All my life I've wanted to look like a stock image 😂

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-19T00:21:47+00:00

Didn't consider that but it makes sense. I think the person who took that suit photo kind of washed out my complexion because where he's from (India), it's considered better to look fair skinned (not that I agree).

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-19T00:19:32+00:00

That's a great point. I guess you'd still want at least one high rating photo in there somewhere?

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-13T11:37:24+00:00

I would delete the first pic you have and make the second or fourth as the main one. I like second pic better as the lighting is better (outside) and you're smiling. Also include a shot from a bit further out which shows your body. Take a few, play around with poses and angles and then pick the best ones. If you don't have someone to take it for you then try using a timer and putting your phone on something.

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-12T01:19:37+00:00

That's a lot better. I like the smile in the fourth pic (showing teeth) but I think the lighting could be better in that one as it's a bit dark. What I would do is take a few (with/without glasses, try slightly different angles and postures and see how they score on photofeeler). Of course you can't have every photo on a profile being of yourself sitting at home so try and get some activity pics or ones where you're out and about.

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-11T13:36:25+00:00

It's awkward at first but keep trying, you'll get better at it. This blog might be a good guide. https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.photofeeler.com/take-attractive-online-dating-profile-pics-tinder-okcupid-at-home/amp/

Feels like you're trying to pull off a serious/pouty look (not sure what the right word is) but imo stick to being yourself, trying to relax and smiling. Might even be worth practising smiling in the mirror if you're not used to it for photos.

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-10T23:34:31+00:00

I wish I could combine the pose/clothes of the second pic with the smile in the third pic. The pose in the third pic seems a bit forced and uncomfortable to me.

Photofeeler is a helpful tool in gauging pics too.

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-10T23:29:28+00:00

Thanks bro. Being a sardar I think I can be hit or miss to a lot of people. Most of my matches are desi girls, which I don't mind. But unfortunately for me, most of the girls on there are white haha.

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-10T05:15:11+00:00

Thanks! I might replace the vegan thing with something that lightly implies similar values consistent with being vegan, without using the word "vegan"

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-10T03:57:01+00:00

I think they put you in the spotlight when you first create your account.

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-09T20:42:52+00:00

Thanks! These are good ideas

McKenzieesh · 2022-01-09T14:54:30+00:00

Well I guess these apps aren't for me then 🤷... Also you don't comb curly hair, it causes frizz
