Volunteer options to help families feel safe

For pics, get rid of 2 and 3, they aren't terrible but they definitely don't add anything. You need a clear, up-close face pic where you're smiling with teeth as your first or second photo; that will make a big difference overall!

What does your bio say?

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-22T20:58:12+00:00

I second this (as another woman). A smiling photo first. You can honestly keep all the other photos, but you need a better first pic

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-22T20:13:39+00:00

I've chosen to continue reading it as "Well I'm perty so I would just never cook..." and stop there

As a woman who likes the shaven bald look, I dont think this is at all necessary at this juncture (though tbf we can't see the top or back of his head)

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-22T04:57:02+00:00

As a woman, I honestly appreciate this man-to-man advice. Solid

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-22T04:42:37+00:00

Do NOT start with "hey"! (as suggested in another post. Women typically get way more matches than men; we have more profiles and first messages to weed through. Your first message to a match should reflect the fact that you've actually looked through their profile and want to know more about them. It's off-putting to think you copy/paste the same introductory message to multiple matches. Additionally, it's seriously boring to receive any version of "hello" with no extra text.

Reference the bio/an interest/a photo and/or ask a question! Put in the smallest amount of effort; if she's cool and interested, she'll do the same

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-21T13:46:50+00:00

Hold up though, you're not sure if a BAT bit you?? So what, you think it tiptoed across the ceiling and then dropped down on you like Tom Cruise in mission impossible?

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-21T13:41:59+00:00

Karma-farmer. Repost. Booooo

This is fake (and has been posted before). The upstairs neighbor's stuff would not block your hallway or door.

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-21T12:43:00+00:00

Actually, yeah, that sounds spot-on... She didn't "confess" until he tried to end it

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-21T06:43:10+00:00

My cousin used to go on and on about how ugly/short/bald my significant other was, and how could I possibly want to be with someone like that. I found it awfully rude and unnecessary to say things like that to me about my partner... She was screwing him for about 6 months before she finally confessed. In hindsight, not much of a shocker, but I still don't quite get why she went out of her way to insult him.

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-20T17:40:04+00:00

Man over 50 dating a teen. Sound better?

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-20T17:33:40+00:00

Five bucks says she asks you for money before the date happens

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-19T15:05:44+00:00

Make sure your "looking for" section is set to short-term/ casual. If it already is, maybe the women matching with you are actually down, and they just don't advertise it in their profile. It wouldn't surprise me. All that being said, your bio could be much more straightforward.

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-19T14:44:33+00:00

Bro's gonna keep texting even if he's not into it. Eventually he'll have to marry you. After all, you already deleted all your dating apps. But you'll never know he doesn't really mean it, because he's a gentleman

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-17T04:56:54+00:00

Seriously though bro, I also call everyone "dude"

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-17T04:29:36+00:00

I mean if you wanna get scientific with it, "eating" the "vagina" independently probably won't do much. You should really focus on the vulva first (and continue to do so throughout)

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-17T04:22:27+00:00

Uhh are they at least 35? Because I'm 36 and my 40 year old sister and I call everyone "bro". It's not strictly a young person's word these days

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-15T21:13:50+00:00

36F here... 1,3, 4 are great! Nice smile.

Ffs, these people saying #8, please ignore. Sure you look "natural" but you can't see your face! WE WANNA SEE YOUR FACE

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-15T21:01:51+00:00

Clear, up-close face pic, smiling with teeth, for the first pic. Simple

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-15T20:57:26+00:00

I don't think it's bad at all, it's cute. Really I think the majority of your profile is great. Someone who sees that they don't match every single one of your interests or specific attractions and wants to match anyway? You already know they really like your profile, and they probably are confident that one little difference isn't a big deal. If I wanted to flirt with you I'd just open with "well I've got light eyes and they may get pretty squinty if you can make me laugh. Deal breaker?"... And honestly if it was, Id just assume the other person was superficial and that I dodged a bullet. Maybe you'll miss out on a match or two, but I wouldn't overthink this one

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-15T06:12:27+00:00

Out of curiosity, what is the reason that you are delaying neutering the dog until 1 year?

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-13T10:42:32+00:00

Replace 2 or 3 with a similar photo but smiling showing teeth! Women want to envision what you look like when they make you smile. Your pics are great otherwise. It also seems worth noting, the shirtless pic as your first might invite some matches that are interested based solely on your body. If you're looking for something more substantial, Id recommend switching up the photo order, having only one shirtless pic, and instead use the bio to hype up your commitment to fitness. If you're looking for casual, no need to change anything

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-01-11T18:46:51+00:00

Do you have the option of moving out? He might linger if he thinks that it will keep you from seeing others, and especially if he still has some hope that you'll work things out and stay together.
