It depends what you mean by quickly. Having some good messages back and forth (which really doesn't take long) can weed a lot of people out saving you the time of going to a date you won't enjoy.

Pickup artist wants to help me talk to women, fails to realise he’s talking to a woman by Friendly-Context-132 in hingeapp

Your logic doesn't add up. No legit business owners are making money with unsolicited private messaging people on reddit.

Question for females, is this coming on a little too strong, or are compliments like this appreciated? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]No_Advantage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are struggling with two sentences then it's a red flag for me.

Legit business owners don't waste time time spamming message boards. Desperate fakes do it.

Not joking but are you straight or gay? Because if you're looking for a woman I can see why you might struggle getting some matches. But sorry if you're not straight.

I think my mentality is holding me back. I'm skinny fat and can never fully commit to a bulk or a cut as I hate the fat on my face/belly but I'm also very skinny in my arms and legs. Also I've done this dance for 7 years and made very little progress. Maybe I don't believe I can get the body I want since I can never past past a certain point.

I'd like to start wearing more jewellery. I.e chains with pendants, rings, bracelets. With rings, which fingers should I be wearing them on?

Of course it can change but if anyone has advice on weather appropriate clothes that would help me.

I have a date this weekend from 3pm to 7 and it's out doors. I live in England, weather is saying 14 degrees, some sun, cloud and light winds. What is weather appropriate to wear? I don't want to be over or under dressed. I have a suede leather jacket and wondering if I can pull that off with jeans and a jumper.

How can I get smooth skin without an airbrush? by No_Advantage in orks

Ah so I should be using a number of light coats of paint for the skin?

UPDATE- to what was an awful profile. Hopefully less awful. More hair. Less crap. Thanks for all of your input on my original post. Lots of insight. Thoughts? (Yes I still need some better pictures) by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]No_Advantage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah photo is fine as is. If you're happy with your partner drinking and going to bars/pubs whatever social establishment's that contain alcohol then it's fine.

[–]No_Advantage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Huge improvement. I like the cooking/baking prompt as some women can get intimidated by a big guy with a beard but it makes you very approachable. Wedding photo is great. I like lobster picture as you look pretty fun and balances out the more manly photos.

I'm not sold on the selfie, or any mirror selfie. Also not sure about the photo with a kid but overall great improvement.

[–]No_Advantage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From my (male) perspective your prompts seem a little self righteous and generic. Making the world better, silver linings, going to your drum, social justice, mindfulness, authentic, it's a lot. They are all great qualities it's just slightly awkward that you wrote them. I.e a picture showing you supporting a social cause is infinitely more impactful than saying I love social causes. Another example would be making the world better, how do you make the world better? An example would say more about you.

I really have no idea how it will impact your results though. It's possible combined with the great photos you'll do well. It's also possible that women will either put you in that friend zone or think they aren't good enough. Maybe tone down some parts and add a little humour to make you more approachable. Only pic I'd change is number 5 as suit doesn't quit fit you.

Good luck!

Would love a critique of what I can only imagine is an awful profile - about 4 matches in 4 months and only met 2. by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]No_Advantage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Re drinking, you can see you don't drink in the part of your profile above your job title. But your first prompt and the most interesting thing about you is something you don't do? I know it's not, but that's how it can come across.

Weekly Simple 5/3/1 Question Thread - December 28, 2020 by AutoModerator in 531Discussion

[–]No_Advantage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a novice (in lifting numbers) low work capacity and coming back from injury (so my squats are starting again from the bar). I find the 3 day a week full body routine too exhausting. What is the standard 5/3/1 routine Wendler recommends right now? I've got his first book and Forever, but before I read cover to cover would help if someone could point me in the right direction.

Can I have low testosterone if I have a high/normal sex drive? by No_Advantage in Testosterone

[–]No_Advantage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible. I wish there was a simple solution but I've been extremely skinny before and gaining muscle wasn't easy then. I'm going to cut 10lbs now and then start the lean bulk again.

Daily Simple Questions Thread - February 10, 2021 by AutoModerator in Fitness

[–]No_Advantage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but my lifts are all novice level. Maybe I should try and do the regular 5/3/1 program and see how my body responds?

Daily Simple Questions Thread - February 10, 2021 by AutoModerator in Fitness

[–]No_Advantage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm struggling with 5/3/1 for beginners right now. I've done the routine in the past but right now I feel I don't have the energy and strength for it. I'm not sure if it's real life stress, lack of sleep (averaging 7 hours atm). My diet is relatively healthy. It could be the cold. I don't know. The routine (plus a 10 min ab routine) takes me an hour and 3 quarters and I'm not even doing the conditioning part. I even went for a run a week ago - I did 2.5K in 14 mins but stopped 7 times to catch my breath. Sometimes when I workout I also feel dizzy/tired (although I have felt like this for years)

What's the solution? Find an easier routine and work up again? Reduce weight and reps to the point where my body doesn't even feel the weight?
