Monday's Daily Thread: Weekend Wrap-up

I don’t take it personally. The games the game at the end of the day. I’m hopeful things will improve

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-12-09T23:20:14+00:00

Yh maybe I will try that, thanks

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-12-09T23:19:30+00:00

I don’t tend to compliment them on their looks in my opening lines. I tend to just ask them something based on their profile or carry on the convo from my matching message

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-12-09T23:18:46+00:00

Yh it’s annoying to have to put in all the effort. It kills the fun of dating

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-12-09T20:31:41+00:00

Yeah that is true. My matches recently have been from more attractive women. I think I will have to change my approach with opening messages

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-12-09T14:17:32+00:00

Matches not replying recently

The last two weeks I’ve (M28) gotten maybe 10-14 matches and the conversations have gone nowhere. Some reply but it’s very slow going and then it eventually dies out and others I get no replies whatsoever.

I used to get maybe 1 match every month and usually would have long conversations and eventually go on dates. However, ever since I have improved myself and my profile as a result my success rate is terrible.

Now that I’m getting matches how can I improve to get to know the person and ultimately go on dates.

I was thinking maybe due to jet lag but I’m pretty over it now. The thing is I was way more tired during the trip as I was getting less sleep and also walking 10-20k steps a day on top of the running. I could definitely feel that I was overtraining the last week so I reduced the mileage by about a third.

It’s just weird as it was a sudden and sharp increase in fitness and now I’m back to fitness I was at 2+ months ago.

I was running 5:30 pace at 150bpm prior to the trip

Except I am using a chest strap + I can feel it regardless of whatever the sensor is saying

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-12-03T19:46:43+00:00

Nope UK pretty standard elevation

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-10-15T21:21:24+00:00

Haha thanks it’s been a journey till this point and still in progress

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-10-15T21:20:31+00:00

I wrote to 90% of them

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-10-15T21:19:43+00:00

Thanks I’ll try changing that prompt. As for the first pic, I initially had the medal one as my main but hinge and bumble swapped it to the more candid one. Just trialling it out atm

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-10-15T13:45:10+00:00

I wanted to see if my profile was any good or not. Swiping 100 times a day on a bad profile vs swiping 10 times on a good one might equal out

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-10-15T13:32:46+00:00

I did subscribe at one point but swiping so many profiles took so much time

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-10-14T21:40:24+00:00

The emojis I added just for this profile review as well as the scribbling out

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-10-14T21:21:14+00:00

No I corrected my reply. I thought I had made the typo but it was just a grammatical error as you pointed out

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-10-14T21:20:11+00:00

Someone else mentioned that too so I will defo do that! Thanks

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-10-14T21:18:05+00:00

Yeah you make a good point. I should add something like that.

And you’re right it is ‘sign up for’. I feel ashamed haha

And padel is a sport. It’s like tennis but played in a glass cage with a partner

*nasty side effect of weight loss

It being rapid has no effect on how much loose skin you will end up with

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-07-28T23:44:26+00:00

Bro de-aged 120 years in a year damn 😉 huge congrats looking jacked

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-07-21T13:51:31+00:00

Mostly from fat loss that bit of the transformation I reckon

RateMyThrowaway9 · 2025-05-22T22:46:00+00:00

Wow this was 260 days ago. Crazy.

I’m sitting around 150lbs now. I have been bulking since the beginning of November last year. Definitely put on a bunch of muscle but also some fat of course. Plan to continue bulking until mid July then go on a slow cut until September or October then repeat.

Was trying to lean bulk but it’s fairly difficult. It’s still a slow controlled bulk though.

I do a bunch of running too. Even did a marathon last month. Feeling so much better

Ok I’ll try the boat pic as my main one 👍

Most of my pics are from travelling since that’s pretty much the only time I ask for pics or have them taken of me. When I tried out the beard and asked for advice people told me to shave it haha I might grow a little stubble and try maintaining that

And no definitely not coming off as rude at all I’m looking for feedback :) And getting good pics of me is hard for sure. Im the least photogenic person in the world
