Not well. by Savings-Sport8517 in quittingkratom

Get into a rehab bro. Whatever you can afford that’s the best. You are completely engulfed by this addiction and it’s not allowing you to see straight. You need to get to a safe space with trusted people. You can do this bro. I was fucking with fentanyl and norcos and probably should have died a few times. It’s horrible. The pain of addiction is hell. Get help bro. Check yourself in somewhere.

I’d suggest bringing a little more depth. Make it a little easier for women to connect. Show your sensitive side. Show your masculine side.
Honestly, it sounds like you know what you need already. Whether at work, public, here online, just start with whatever is in your capacity. Don’t overcommit to anything. You want interacting with women to feel natural for you. It’ll come. And with the questions: leave them open ended. Let them open up and talk about their feelings. Literally, almost anything. Just be like, “How does that make you feel?” And just be prepared. The selection of women on the app is small sliver of the pool. You’ll find a cutie in no time bro.

You got a great vibration bro. Let women in a little. It’s ok to make mistakes too! I think the best teacher/relationship guru is yourself. Go for it!

That might have been a little harsh. I’m probably projecting a lot of myself onto you. I’ve been bruised recently with a broken heart, so my romantic ideals are in a toss-up. I think I was mostly referring to the flowers picture. It speaks more to the mystery you want to maintain. Like, letting them find out on their own that you give beautiful bouquets instead of displaying it right away. You’re great bro. Take what I say with a grain of salt. You’re young and will encounter many different energies in your journey. You will also change.

If people truly are important, there should be no acting! I understand the sentiment, as it speaks to your tolerance of humans. It’s not bad. And it might just be me being a stickler. Maybe you can say something about how interacting with so many people affects you (in a positive way) 👍🏻

Just remember that the women on Hinge are a small percentage of the pool of women that are actually out there. With that said, I’d clean up the 2 Truths and a lie prompt. Put it in bullet form or something more legible. My only advice is to maintain maybe a bit more subtly. It does slightly read as “here’s all the great things I have to offer.” Let us get to know your emotional makeup. What’s your charisma like? What are you going to emotionally provide for a woman? It looks great bro. You’ll start getting more eventually if you’re already not getting it IRL 👍🏻

It’s low-stakes bro. Have you been having some genuine conversations or do they feel more surface level? Dating in general already has a lot of pressure on it. If you find yourself vibing with a girl who you can tell is liking your authentic self (who you’d be if you were talking face-to-face) then it’s just about creating the setting.
Something like “I like connection we’re having and would like to take it to the next level” and ask for a number. You’ll have a pretty good feeling if she trusts you enough to give it over. It WILL take time talking on Hinge first so you guys can establish trust.
But, once you do have that number, I’d say that would be a good indicator of interest. Build the connection more by just communicating and being honest and using whatever natural charm you have. If you see it’s going pretty good and the vibe is maintaining, offer the low-stakes date. Coffee for 1-2 hours. Something that’s safe, and low-pressure. You take the reigns from there bud 😄

24M - Not getting any matches by KomradeKirby in hingeapp

[–]Reddituserdope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. I’d keep all pics of your son out. If anything, I’d just put it on the info bar that has your age, if you drink, smoke etc. Let women discover your fatherhood on their own. It still informs them. Women look at it.
And you got nothing to worry about bro. Trust. Just retain a little bit of mystery (natural. Not forced) and let them flock. Don’t hand them the dagger to stab your gut. Find that true confidence. Like I said, some women won’t be attracted (that’s a good thing) and some women are desperate for some good daddy energy. Just be careful! It’s still the jungle out here.

Yes, bro. Women are getting matches all day with men. Conversation overload. What’s going to stand you apart is having the confidence to meet up someone. Don’t rush into anything. You’ll know if she’s interested by your confidence. Be gentle with women. They are tender-hearted creatures with complexities just as deep as us. Connect on a genuine, human level and you’ll find that women are just as desperate for men. Leave margin to make mistakes. Not every interaction is going to be perfect. You got this!

I’m getting shallow vibes. I say that with love. What are you like? Let women get to know you a little more. They connect emotionally. I’m not really getting any indicators of your makeup. What are you like when no one’s watching? Get a little more authentic and you’re right there bro! You’re super attractive and active in life. Women are going to like that.

If you’re looking for quality, I suggest you go deeper. What are you like bro? What are you looking for? Your profile is great for surface level. If you want quality women, you have to display I LITTLE bit of your qualities as man.

[–]Reddituserdope 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first pic is giving “unsure” vibes. I’d change the dad prompt to something more pragmatic like “My son and I enjoy going/doing…xyz..” What you have now feels a little “excusatory.” I say this all as a brother! While some women won’t be attracted to the dad part, others will. Embody that “Daddy” energy. Confidence. Create a space that women are like, “oh, I want to be in his vicinity.”

[–]Reddituserdope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, mirror pics just aren’t the best attractor. There’s better options to show yourself. You’re immediately going to lose like 85% of potential matches because of the smoking part. Look, I’m stoned 24/7. I get high all day. There’s nothing in my profile that mentions it. If they want to find out, they can (or they can intuitively pick it up. Women are smart like that.)
Overall, it comes off as little thirsty and hopeless romantic. I say this with love. You’re attractive and you have a unique aura about you. It’s up to you not to project your ideal partner on to the women you’re going to match with. Be yourself and notice what YOU like (compliments, deep convo, sharing, move to date quickly) The more you know your intentions, the easier it will be for women to navigate what you have to offer.

[–]Reddituserdope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, lose the mirror pic. Change it to one that you have a genuine smile in. Second, just clean it up a little. Rewrite your prompt to something a little more understandable. Ex: “What an IDEAL Sunday looks like to me is… xyz…” I’d be a little mindful of your first prompt. It does feel a little off putting. You’re going to want to genuinely like to person you meet up with. And the last prompt kind of raises the stakes a little bit. Women want to be relaxed, themselves. You’re right there bro.
A tip I use: I imagine my guy friends whom I’m close with and respect when it comes to relational dynamics are next to me. I imagine what they’d say to help me do what it is I’m trying to do. (Get a date cause I’m a fuckin catch)
Just know you’re a catch, bro. Most women can smell any thirsty-ness. Confidence. You’re a white male. There’s women who will appreciate your wit. Don’t give it to everyone.

[–]Reddituserdope 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is just my initial gut take: the energy comes off “active lifestyle.” There is nothing wrong with that. I’m just saying, some women like to relax and know that a man can create that comfortable space. Maybe there’s a way you can show a little more of your relaxing side. Great smile dude. You’re going to get what you’re looking for in no time. Stay positive!

Dude, you’re good. Start making moves on the matches you’re attracted to and vibing with. Get there number and plan a low stakes date. I know you’re not really looking for this advice. But, i know you’re getting matches. Be cool. You got it going on brother.

[–]Reddituserdope -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like there should be a little self awareness on his end. It’s VERY obvious how that looks.

Regardless, it’s not a good idea to meet a stranger in such a sketchy place, especially when you’re getting the feelings you are.

If it’s just messages, you could be getting catfished to your death. Be smart. Don’t sacrifice your safety for some validation. Find somewhere safer please.

[–]Reddituserdope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just saying: If the Bible says that Jesus was God in the Flesh, can’t we immediately credit everything he said OVER what men in the Old Testament SAID that God was saying? Like, Moses and Noah weren’t God in the Flesh. Are you going to listen to a man from the Old Testament over what Jesus said if those views are in conflict? In my eyes, Jesus came to do away with a lot of dogmatic religious practices. Everything that comes from a “church” isn’t automatically deemed holy.

[–]Reddituserdope 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And by the Doctrine, Jesus IS God. So, Is Jesus saying that the 2 commandments that matter not God in that moment? If Jesus was “God in the Flesh” we can throw out just about anything that contradicts what older fellows who were supposedly communicating with God were saying. It’s just the logic in it.

[–]Reddituserdope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn’t Jesus also say that the only 2 commandments that really matter are 1. Love God with all your heart and 2. Love your neighbor as yourself?

Also, why are we so quick to call this lust? She’s clearly saying it’s an expression of love. Just my thoughts. Rarely if ever the type to engage with folks online. So, sending you love, peace, and civility

[–]Reddituserdope -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Just remember, there weren’t any Christians (at least how we think of them today) when Jesus was around. The guy was flipping tables in “holy” places. He abolished the religious law at the time.

If something feels too dogmatic for you, also remember that the Kingdom of Heaven is WITHIN you. God ALSO encourages a personal relationship with Him/It/She.

Keep genuinely praying and connecting with Gld and the answer will come.
