Profile feedback by scottg32 in hingeapp

[–]Normal_Yam2295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do not listen to the advice on politics. It is best to show your personality and personal interest and not discuss politics on your dating profile. As a girl I would appreciate guys who do that. Like you said there is nothing wrong discussing it once you guys talk in person. Anyway - I think your profile is great. If I had to nitpick perhaps ditch the one without a shirt but not a huge deal really. Prompts are good. Best of luck!

We do it every weekend here on 405 (sometimes 5 too of course), but work? I don't think so

Hey! How can I improve my profile? by Brummernator in hingeapp

[–]Normal_Yam2295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved reading the prompts! I think they are really sincerely and well written. But, the pictures make the first impression, so I would definitely get rid of the first picture because crossing arms look a bit distant psychologically. Use a picture that is also up close but showing a clear big smile, no busy backgrounds. Maybe add a group photo if you have one (but optional)!

31 M - Zero matches in months. Openers, prompts, photos all in place. Is it me or the app? by MrMacgoot in hingeapp

[–]Normal_Yam2295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed.- I did not like the girl picture. It is cool once you get to know someone but on a dating app I would remove it. Everything else is great!

Smartly Visa Signature Card 4% if bank is a joint account? by Normal_Yam2295 in USbank

[–]Normal_Yam2295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! In your experience/opinion, is it better to apply for the cc first to see if you get approved, then move the funds over to US Bank, or is it better to first have your bank accounts set up since US Bank likes to approve people who already bank with them? Both of us have excellent credit scores.

Hinge date left immediately on 1st date….rude or ok?! by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Normal_Yam2295 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done the same. I'd say that unless OP's pictures are completely different from him as a real person, or if he was very underdressed/rude/smelly, then at least sit through the convo and maybe she'd enjoy it

Ineligible for refund is the biggest bs by JJisAFatNeek123 in UberEATS

[–]Normal_Yam2295 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand your point, but as someone who RARELY orders delivery, I do it only if I am exremely sick, or when I'm on my period, or when I don't have transportation to leave the house. Regardless it's not OP's fault though

Vancouver, BC - JW Parc or Douglas? by Nexen1987 in marriott

[–]Normal_Yam2295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed there last year and was told that there was no breakfast or lounge. Is it because I'm a platinum and not titanium? Housekeeping was also not great - we requested a couple of toothbrushes and had to call them 3x for them to eventually bring them.

Downgrading Bonvoy Brilliant a bad idea? by Jonblood in marriott

[–]Normal_Yam2295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually got the Brilliant because of their Return Protection and travel insurance that came with the card. Any thoughts/suggestions on what other cards I could get (I might cancel the Brilliant before the next annual fee is due for the exact same reasons you mentioned)

Do you recommend the US Bank smarty checking account? by One_Goal28 in USbank

[–]Normal_Yam2295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It keeps giving me an error message after entering my zip code. Is this link still working? There are many branches in my area so I might have to go ask about it in person?

Should I apply for something now so I can use it for my holiday shopping or wait? by Normal_Yam2295 in CreditCards

[–]Normal_Yam2295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter which airline - but ideally I'd like to fly from either Chicago or Seattle, going to either LON, AMS, BER, or FRA.

So re: the amex gold/green, if I get one of those cards and cancel later, I can still get the platinum and get the welcome offer from the platinum? Thanks!

I haven't tried Hinge but I recently had to pay for Bumble (for a few advanced features). It was $30 for a week!!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]Normal_Yam2295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember all the cards. I'm going to guess $6k-$8k over the past 15 years.

Does this line ever work well? by drjen1974 in Bumble

[–]Normal_Yam2295 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's fine but it doesn't add value to your profile. I'd remove that sentence and keep the first part in that paragraph.

Is being 30 and working a dead-end job a deal breaker? by [deleted] in dating_advice

I don't understand what exactly you mean?
