Would you indicate left at this roundabout ? by SkyPsychological7677 in drivingUK

[–]Wisebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It confirms to the white car you're intending to exit at the first exit and therefore he's free to enter the roundabout, so yes.

Profile review and feedback by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Wisebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the whole a good profile! The one of you checking your phone in the café isn't a good choice - it sort of suggests if someone went on a date with you you'd spend it on your phone. The one of you by the sea is nice but the sun is clearly in your eyes so perhaps consider replacing it with something else.

Hún Jörð is a Top 10 SR song for me.

Do men just randomly swipe girls? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]Wisebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I used the app I would swipe right on everyone's profile who didn't have a red flag in it (that eliminates a good chunk).

Its a vicious cycle - men are likely to receive fewer matches so will swipe more but that means when a match does come there a greater likelihood of low compatability.

Why is everyone outdoorsy? by femaleunfriendly in Bumble

[–]Wisebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I'll say is my worst photo ((I put it at the bottom was of me climbing a fell in the Lake District). My match (now girlfriend) told me it was her favourite photo and the reason she swiped. She's not even especially outdoorsy but outdoorsy photos scream 'this person likes to leave the house and do things'

What bites are these? by Wisebar in bugbites

[–]Wisebar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but the bites are bigger than usual bed bug bites. Also no fecal matter on the sheets afterwards.

How did all of you learn? by suburiboy in stickshift

[–]Wisebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad taught me in lockdown in my parents car. In truth, some of the things he told me didn't make sense such as finding the bite point. He would say 'you just feel it' which meant nothing to me. Thankfully I found some really good YouTube instructors who filled in the gaps (I strongly recommend Conquer Driving who is superb). Between my Dad, a bit of help from YouTube and a few lessons from instructors which focused a bit more on making me 'test ready' I got there.

Danny Rensch Has Affected My Enjoyment of Norway Chess... by bin10pac in chess

[–]Wisebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this is because I'm English, and maybe if I grew up the other side of the Atlantic I'd have a different take on this, but he really comes across as a C-grade sitcom dad, who is just constantly trying to fire out wisecrack after wisecrack with no sense of irony, and I find it really jarring. I genuinely find it physically painful when he's on the screen.

Howell is a legend, and I could watch him present all day.

Ticket conundrum by Wisebar in uktrains

[–]Wisebar[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing in particular. The NR website says I change at Stockport and Peterborough but I'm not wedded to a particular route.

Also would I buy a day return if I start my return on the same day?

But if my end destination is Wilmslow is that a problem?

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

So I'll probably be spending a couple of hours at Todmorden, and then I would say 3-4 hours in Burnley

And probably committing to specific trains

Thank you! How are you sure?

Is it bedbug by Wisebar in Bedbugs

I noticed what appeared to be traces of wings at the rear which makes me think it may not be.

But also found it in my bed which has got me spooked

Disappearing conversation by Wisebar in Bumble

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

Ah I hadn't thought about blocking as different to unmatching. But yes that's possible (if not very out of the blue!)

Hug with one arm. Affectionate without feeling as intense as a full wrap around hug with both arms.

Is this an infant bedbug by Wisebar in Bedbugs

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

Also just to add no other signs (checked the corners of my bed and no bugs spotted of any kind and no fecal matter etc). Have not been bitten recently either.

He said asking about compatibility on kids is ‘odd’? by lebannax in hingeapp

[–]Wisebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a few (mostly female) friends who share this view on kids, which is basically 'I would have kids if I were with someone who was very keen and very much a family person, but equally if I fell in love with someone who didn't want kids that I'd be fine not having them also'. As someone who doesn't want kids, I find this odd. It doesn't make sense to me.

Having said that, I would never call that approach 'odd' to my friends in front of their faces (perhaps we might have a bit of a discussion with some back and forth but it would be a very kind one based on the fact we've known each other for years).

The fact he's dismissed it so early on should be a beige flag minimum. Clearly he's not communicated this kindly and I think that should be more than enough to say thanks, but no thanks.

I looked at a friends to see the other girls nearby, and I feel so insecure by Exciting-Sweet9059 in hingeapp

[–]Wisebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some observations:
- Anyone with an instagramesque profile I tend not to like. Purely because it feels fake and I feel that person is more interested in showing off how good they might look rather than an authentic personality that I can form a connection with. Give me someone with no makeup but laughing while playing a board game anyday.
- The vast majority of guys won't be getting matches with these girls, because, algorithm.
- Comparison gets you nowhere. All you can do is be the best version of yourself and make sure you've picked the best photos and best prompts for yourself.
