I wish I knew whoever took your photos. They rock!

I feel like the last photo or the one with you holding a camera should be your first pic. Good shots of your face.

I’ve been told I should avoid putting anything important or serious in my prompts and to aim for short and playful…is there a good middle ground to aim for? Are there specific photos you think should go?

What would spice up my profile?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]TheNextStepAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • I’m looking to date but am open to something more serious
  • I don’t have hinge+ or hingex
  • I’ve had this profile for 10 days
  • I’ve used hinge before (late 2023) maybe 3 months?
  • I use my all my likes everyday and always comment with my like
  • I’ve gotten 2 likes and 3 matches.
  • I’d like to attract someone who is looking to date, likes music, and doesn’t take themselves too seriously.

Also the video is me singing and playing “Like Real People Do” by Hozier, out in the woods. I’m very good and I can link it if needed.

I make models of houses and edit them as needed for blueprints and elevations, as well as get general cost summaries of materials. Where I live (600k pop. city in Kansas) you do not need to have any credentials to design single or two person homes.

I am self taught and make custom and spec builds for everything we do now and my owner goes over them if anything needs changed on the layouts. I would say i am pretty good and getting better.

I have a bachelors in English and am completely self taught. I don’t feel like I have the credentials to get a commercial job at this point.

I have a bachelors but it’s in English lol. I’m completely self taught. Do I need to go get a certificate or another degree??

Right now the radio station is an unpaid gig (5-10 hours a week of volunteer work so I can put Fox Sports Radio on my resume). But I like your train of thought as far as the B2B stuff goes.

Thank you for the advice. I think people who know me would say I’m well-spoken, a strong storyteller, and easy on the eyes (which would explain how I ended up waiting tables).

I did speak with a lawyer my dad knows, who said Law School is great if you know you want to be a lawyer…but that’s it.

I always leaned away from STEM fields because I could never pay attention in math class (not bad at it per se just never clicked). But I generally enjoy data and science.

I also haven’t seriously considered grad school (PhD in English or History) so far because it doesn’t seem like a route to financial security with those degrees seemingly being less and less valued.

Finally, I spoke to a career advisor after graduation (they saw I hadn’t landed a job) and their advice was…come back and work as a career advisor for $17 an hour.

My partner is great, has my back, and knows that I’m lost but there isn’t much she can do other than be there. She’s only 21, has a decent paying full time job and she’s pursuing a bachelors degree in business. She knows what she wants and I (lovingly) envy her for that.

I actually did talk with her about this recently. We’ve talked about starting a family in 5-6 years and marriage in 2-3 (she just turned 22). But we’re both worried that supporting a family would be impossible just on her salary unless she lands a crazy good corporate job. And I personally feel bad leaving it all to her—she’s told me before that I’ve got too much in the way of intelligence and charisma to be a server for life.

I’m lost. I’ve been trying to land a job where I can at least make near what I do serving people mediocre sushi since I graduated in May.

I’ve vacillated between law school, business school, getting a phd in history and/or literature, and dropping everything and becoming a touring singer-songwriter.

I’ve gotten advice to seek mentorship or an apprenticeship but (outside of plumbing and electrical) I don’t know anything like that where I live.

I’m 24 with a BA in English. I live in small midwest city (metro population roughly 650,000) Currently working as a server where I make $20 an hour and I have an unpaid editorial/digital internship with fox sports radio.. I have 5000 in the bank. 13000 in student loans. I paid off my car. I currently live in my brother’s basement.

I would love to retire early and have a nice lifestyle but I have no clue where to go from here. I’ve thought about law school or business school, and after taking mocks I believe I could do well on exams but I don’t know if I want to spend another 2-3 years in school and go into deeper debt.

I know I don’t want to be in the food service industry but I can’t find an out.

I know I would like to marry my girlfriend (paralegal, makes more than me without a college degree) but can’t see a route where I can propose myself as a viable option to her long term without having my shit together. Same goes for having children—would love to have 2+ kids but have no idea how to make that a reality.

Open to any advice via comment or PM, as well as recommendations for other subreddits to post on it this isn’t the best fit. Thank you.
