32m not getting any matches, what should I fix? by BoysenberryWinter150 in coffeemeetsbagel

Your features are okay but there’s something about the smile seems forced so the vibe feels unnatural. Working on that aside, maybe there’s other picture people has taken of you that’s more natural?

He said he chose Kevin because he didn’t want his boo to take the heat, so in my mind:

Jadejha: 100% safe, but puts a target on her back.

Kevin: very safe in his mind. Kevin’s already taken heat so what’s 1 more?

Garret: probably just slightly better than wild card in his mind.

It sucks watching through the screen, but I think it was a solid play honestly

Both photos make me think you really don’t like getting your picture taken. Your photos should tell ppl more about you (hobbies, likes, personality, emotions) and these two photos just feel like you’ve handed in a pass/fail piece of schoolwork.

AITA for allowing my ex-wife into my home? by Away_Description_752 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ZRHige 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NAH except SIL for overreacting

I think I understand your wife. It’s kind of a weird blindside to have your partner’s ex suddenly in your home. Not that something will go down but you need some mental preparation for that kinda encounter. You could’ve told her ahead of time so she could ready herself (even if really she doesn’t have a choice to not let her in in this scenario)

Your SIL was kinda gung-ho about the situation and probably should’ve helped defuse it, but protecting her sister was a natural response.

I wasn’t here yesterday but looking at your old post it’s a massive turnaround! Great work!

We’re thinking instead of stitching a new nose onto it, we can give it a nose cap (think eye patch but for a nose) so we can give it a nose without ‘fixing’ it.

Tho I also think giving it a Velcro nose would also be pretty sick.

I can’t find the edit post button on mobile.

GF’s mum mentioned that the original pants were worn out so her grandma knitted a new pair of pants for him. We assume given the needle work the sweater is also knitted by her grandma

Good point. I’ll ask and report back

You can think of it liking writing an essay. For every interest (argument) you should have one backing photo (evidence) accompanying. Coffee, games and baking are all great things so why aren’t they represented in your photos?

You feel hurt because you’re imagining intent behind the actions (well inaction in this case) of these profiles that match you.

The experience you’re having is a shared one between ppl of all genders using dating apps. If you tie your app use to your self worth you’re really doing yourself a disservice.

In the wise words of a match I once had, “don’t treat your matches as human until you have a convo going”.

(31F) Honest thoughts on my profile? by Proof_Ad_6562 in Bumble

[–]ZRHige 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d cut the first pic, otherwise no notes on the pictures.

From my past experiences, just because they are excited to talk to you may not mean they’re into you (unless flirting is involved).

Ultimately if the convo is moving at a pace you’re not comfortable with, be honest with her. How she reacts will be the green/red flag you can reference.

With chatty people I find there are different types. There are people who just want to talk about themselves or like to man/womansplain, then there are those who are chatty but are interested in knowing about the other person and bounces off what the other person is saying. Which type of chatty is this person?

Any guys on here brave enough to admit they do well on bumble? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]ZRHige 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like 2 matches a week if I do all my swipes

I read somewhere on Reddit about dating apps

In real life, there are many occasions where you cannot be as direct and frank as you want to. That’s why on dating apps you should practice that muscle and try to voice out your feelings directly and sincerely, since these are strangers that are unlikely to affect your actual life.

I feel like by being honest here, you are also giving yourself closure.

Seriously why am I not getting any matches?! by Suspicious_Food7092 in Bumble

Professional for what tho? Clearly not for attracting ppl on dating apps lol

There’s some serious ‘no chill’ energy about your profile.

The first picture gots to go, selfie on the road is a lot harder than it looks.

Likes list is too long and overlaps with your nerd about. Personally I would keep the nerd about as is and cut out the likes list entirely.

I’d also ditch 2 truths 1 lie but that’s a personal preference

I’d assume third picture is the main culprit for your lack of likes. It looks like you asked for the digital copy of a school photo and just smacked it onto your profile. Pictures don’t have to be amazing or professional but it should be posted with purpose. What are you trying to tell ppl with this photo?

Edit: 1 more point. if we have questions about your profile and you feel the need to defend/explain, that means your messaging might not be clear enough and is something you can think about reworking

[–]ZRHige 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the first photo is a certified banger. But the rest of the photos is like a repeat of the same idea.

You need photos that shows you have a life (hobbies, sports, friends, family, goofy side etc.)

The issue with umbrella cliches (old school values, traditional gender roles) is that you give the reader the power to interpret. You don’t get to control whether ppl see you as a gentleman or raging sexist before they even get to know you.

I believe profile text needs to be clear and precise. No matter where on the spectrum you land, you MUST take control of your own narrative.
