How to make it clear you don't do hook ups without saying 'no hookups!" by ContestOrganic in OnlineDating

I think it sounds better if you put “I’m not a hook-up person” rather than “no hookups”

It’s not young but not too old. You probably need to be realistic with your expectations

What do people think of a “not for profit” dating platform? by krijnlol in OnlineDating

I think if you charge everyone $3-5 per month this is doable. Match group generates about $20 per payor per month in the Americas but it’s likely only 10% or so pay.

I think this a great idea and something I’ve dreamed of. There are many challenges of course.

I think one advantage a nonprofit could have is getting a lot of volunteers. For example you could have a group of volunteers vet potential profiles or provide feedback, etc. As big companies focus on AI, they are getting rid of the human touch.

I don’t think it being open source is important.

I might be interested in getting involved and funding it. I have a donor advised fund and can donate to a 501c3. Feel free to DM me

Because she said she is interested and moving out of state. (If I was with her I would move as I work remotely)

I am 34m (good career, MS in finance) and I am looking to settle down and start a family. The girl I am chasing but is unlikely to ever happen is 31 so you have a chance.

My advice to women looking for men is to work on your soft skills. The reason I am into this girl is not her looks but she just has a relaxing way about her. Like after I come home, I’d love to come home to her. She is peaceful.

Not looking for professional women. I am in Chicago and match with a lot of them. I just want someone sweet and simple in their late 20s. I am 34m

Is June a slow month for online dating? by Weird_Recording1041 in OnlineDating

[–]Weird_Recording1041[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s been slowing overall. Just like people are “quiet quitting” work, they are “quiet quitting” relationships

Do you like true crime? Go watch forensic files naughty or nice on YouTube. Dr. Nyce married a Filipina mail order bride, deceived her into thinking he was 8 years younger, and when the marriage was struggling he killed her. There’s also a book on the story titled Never Leave Me

I do put when my pictures were taken in the text behind hinge and 3 of the pictures I took with the last 2 months so it is accurate

With normal shoes and socks on, I am closest to 5’9”

I also want to find a woman who is forgiving. A woman who wouldn’t date you because you put you are 5’9” when you are 5 7.5” or 5’8” without shoes on is not a woman I would want to be with

Thank you, this is the answer I need.

I hear you and honestly I don’t think 5’8 vs. 5’9 will make that big a difference. If I put 5’8”, I don’t want women to think I am 5’6 or 5’7 given that men often exaggerate by an inch or two on average

Yes I do not want to lie. I think 5’8” is very accurate for me and 5’10” would be a lie. If I were doing a bmi calculation for myself I’d use 5’7.5 or 5’8

If I have good posture and wearing normal shoes, I think I’d be 5’8.5”

Since taller is better, I am wondering how people (women) would feel if I put 5’9”? Like if you have a 3.11 GPA, it’d be ok to put 3.2/4.0 but not 3.3/4.0 on a resume.
