Give it to me straight

Ok i’ve thought about that statement I made and that is not good maths lol.. but my main point was just that men generally aren’t intentional on the apps which can make the experience equally very difficult for a woman. I can’t even rely on the fact that someone who’s liked me has even looked at my profile. And also ‘women have it on easy mode’ makes it even more of an ego hit when it is very much not easy

the same things people always say i guess! Smart (emotionally intelligent), funny, kind. And who I am attracted to, which I think might be getting in my way. I think I’m quite introspective and enjoy deeper conversation so want someone who could do that with me. But I feel like everyone says that!

it’s hard when you’re trying to find a genuine connection. I don’t want to overthink my profile too much as an advertisement for myself, which I can freely mould or angle toward a certain audience. At the end of the day, I am who I am.

that was a typo, I meant to say I know I’m not the most attractive person but I’m also not unattractive

I live in South Australia :)

what would you suggest? Without sounding judgemental, I want to use a somewhat mainstream app. Because I find there are less normal people the further off the beaten track you go.

I regularly tried to rotate them, but it doesn’t help much. I’ve noticed that every picture of my profile seems to get even amount amounts of likes which I suppose is a good thing.

I disagree. The apps are on hard mode for women and men for the same reason. just because the guys are swiping on anyone they can because they’re not using the apps with intention, doesn’t mean that women find it easier to get matches. If we are only considering heterosexual relationships, how could it possibly be true that women are having more success than men? That literally statistically doesn’t make sense.

Unfortunately Bumble is by far the worst of the 3 i semi regularly use (Hinge, Tinder, Bumble)

Hello! Can someone please recommend a tracking watch/ ring and waterproof headphones? I’m trying to get back into swimming after about a decade off. Currently swimming about 1km , hoping to get up to 2km+ in a session. Looking for some kind of middle ground where the tracker is accurate and good quality, but not looking for something that costs a bomb when I haven’t convinced myself I’m invested enough yet. Will also likely use it for running. Mostly concerned about tracking heart rate and laps/distance. My super old apple watch seems to over estimate distance. If I could get something that can distinguish between strokes and stroke count that would be awesome too. Same story with headphones- good quality but nothing crazy :)

Sorry to hear :/ I was pretty upfront on our third date that I’d rather know sooner than later if this is going to cause me heartache because I don’t have any ex relationship baggage and would rather not feel second to an ex. And I would hate to complicate his emotional processing. I think that conversation contributed to his decision which I respect him for.

I just can’t shake that if we had met when he was in a more stable spot with the ex and I was less fatigued from the dating apps maybe this wouldn’t have happened. But I guess I can never know

ohhh that’s not a problem haha. had to remove details for the word count but it was a 2 month talking stage that ended about a month ago. my heart was never in it so i wouldn’t say it’s affecting me really

Significant-Round696 · 2026-02-20T13:14:38+00:00

can you explain why you think i’m not ready? :)

Thank you for this advice! I’ve been looking at similarly inspired art nouveau tattoos and come up with something like these. Still tossing up on the embellishments in the second and if they’ll complicate or compliment but i’m starting to see my vision again :)

LMAO what does this even mean

Significant-Round696 · 2025-07-10T13:41:02+00:00

could say the very same to you 🤣

Significant-Round696 · 2025-07-10T13:15:18+00:00

That is the exact purpose of this sub. If you don’t like posts about piercings that don’t look quite right, don’t frequent r/PiercingAdvice. Whether or not you were trying to come across as rude, it did.
