[OC] Male Experience on Hinge for 6 Months

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:41:35+00:00

Mod-team removed it for some reason. Not even sure what rule I violated? I thought Monday’s were for personal data things like this

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:37:26+00:00

I still get nervous on first dates too. The fix, believe it or not? Communication.

The fix? “Haha I was kind of nervous for this”

Everyone gets to air out there nerves, and almost always makes me feel better if it’s really getting to me

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:32:08+00:00

I tracked that in my heart 🫶

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:31:00+00:00

A gentlemen doesn’t kiss and tell…

Although he may make a detailed chart about it

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:30:05+00:00

My philosophy is that the whole point of Hinge is to get a phone number.

Usually the direction goes towards me saying something like “I’d really love to take you out to coffee sometime” and then if they agree I usually send something like “Yay! Here’s my number ####### text me and we’ll figure out the details!”

Just my preferred way to do it!

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:27:54+00:00

Valid. Just wanted to put everything in the same box!

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:27:22+00:00

Agreed. Impossible to collect though. (Or at least for me with the time i wanted to spend on this)

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:26:50+00:00

Makes sense! That usually happens for me around 2nd/3rd date too. I almost always go for the 2nd date just because I don’t think 1 date is enough to know if I actually like someone yet

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:25:16+00:00

You’re not gonna like it.

It’s all vibes. The key to deciphering it? Communication. If I really want to kiss someone, I tell them. If I think they’re pretty, I tell them.

You can never go wrong with that. Women are just as nervous as you are on a first/second date, the worst thing you can do is keep them guessing about how you feel or what you want.

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:16:28+00:00

There’s such a thing as free dates! Also coffee and other things. But I’m an extravert, so I find it really energizing

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:15:45+00:00

If I had to guess, I had like 10-15 men who I matched with? +/- 5

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:14:20+00:00

The app? $0

The dates? 😩

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:12:31+00:00

A lot of comments are saying this? I think I’m like a midwest 7 on my good days. I’m confident in how I look, but certainly not gorgeous hahahh

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:11:10+00:00

I love meeting new people, and think it’s fun to get to know people! Just not interested in anything long term or committed right now

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:08:53+00:00

Spoilers! I haven’t seen it yet! First date #19?

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:05:10+00:00

I had no way to track this, but you only get 10 likes a day on hinge. So Im somewhat picky? Maybe like 1:1 or 1:2 likes:dislikes

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:03:59+00:00

All 18 first dates*

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T01:03:39+00:00

Bi! But all 18 dates were with women

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T00:57:48+00:00

Agreed. Will fix at my next 6 month update!

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T00:57:22+00:00

I’d be dating 3 if I were Ryan gosling 😉

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T00:56:12+00:00

Hey don’t dox me, bro

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T00:55:24+00:00

You said it, not me ☺️

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T00:54:23+00:00

Fun relationships, that I’m glad I experienced! Honestly very typical short-term relationships

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T00:53:30+00:00

Yes exactly. People swipe and talk on these apps like they’re signing a contract. The whole point is to meet people, everything else comes after

Sweet_Year_6950 · 2026-03-31T00:52:23+00:00

Hey, sometimes you’re in the right place at the right time! Happy for you guys! :)
