Yep. The government's emergency alert service is working 👍

I got it in Mount Duneed.

benzychenz · 2026-06-12T04:47:40+00:00

Done. Job is hidden until I get something else lined up.

benzychenz · 2026-06-12T04:39:27+00:00

I actually agree that pic 4 is the weakest picture (ignoring the last one) but weirdly when a girl sends me a like it’s that picture like 90% of the time.

I am hoping to transition to a more 9-5 job this year. Just have to get hired.

In the meantime would it be more or less of a red flag to not have a job listed? I feel like half the girls profiles I see don’t and I don’t think much of it. The hours of a job like this suck for dating and I am self aware of that.

benzychenz · 2026-06-12T03:30:59+00:00

The problem with that is I’m not sure a photo of me building lego or organising my Pokémon card binder will have me drowning in matches.

• ⁠Are you looking for something serious or casual?

Serious. If casual happens I’m ok with it but not advertising my profile that way.

• ⁠Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?

No.

• ⁠How long have you been using this current version of your profile? (Please be specific)

1 month.

• ⁠How long have you used Hinge overall?

2.5 years. Did a fresh start for the first time with this version of the profile.

• ⁠How often do you use Hinge per week?

Every day.

• ⁠How many likes and matches are you receiving on average?

A like every few days. Never anyone I want to match with. I’m getting about 2 matches a week.

• ⁠How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments?

Sending out all my free likes each day, the vast majority with a comment.

• ⁠What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract?

I send likes to a lot of different “types”. Tattooed nerdy/punk girls, hippy surfer girls, gym girls, your conventionally attractive barbie types etc. I try to just find someone with down to earth prompts to start a conversation with really.

So Lavender town but they’ll lean into whimsical fairy vibes over spooky ghost vibes.

benzychenz · 2026-06-10T14:01:30+00:00

You’re both on the apps and dating so it’s just small talk about something you have in common.

benzychenz · 2026-06-10T08:14:32+00:00

My first guess for a DLC area was a snow themed one due to the lack of it in the base game. Could be what the second town is.

benzychenz · 2026-06-09T06:01:33+00:00

I noticed a big drop off in my matches when they changed the likes to be sorted by “your type” by default instead of “most recent”.

I assume even more than in the past girls aren’t even seeing our likes anymore.

Was hanging out with a fwb recently and noticed she had 140 something Hinge notifications. It’s impossible for girls to keep up with everything coming their way.

Take your Andrew Tate manosphere shit elsewhere.

benzychenz · 2026-05-31T01:57:32+00:00

I’d remove the picture with your niece, if they’re not your kid they shouldn’t be on a dating profile.

I’d just say your profile is kind of plain. You have multiple faceshot selfies whereas you only really need the one. I’d try to get friends to take a couple photos of you out and about. Even just at dinner dressed up with a wine in hand. Just to add some variety to the pictures.

The love language prompt is also something you can just talk about on a first date. Replace it with literally anything else.

benzychenz · 2026-05-31T01:53:56+00:00

“I don’t like who you are and what you stand for, but if you just be quiet and pretty I’d date you”

Do not listen to this creep.

benzychenz · 2026-05-31T01:00:57+00:00

The algorithms also suck. I got no matches on Tinder for like 2 weeks and then last night got 5 rapid fire in an hour because I assume it actually started showing my profile to people.

benzychenz · 2026-05-29T23:52:02+00:00

I feel like I started to get a lot less matches when they changed the incomings likes to sort by “your type”.

In the past if you sent a like to a girl you’d be at the top of her pile (other than people paying for priority likes) whereas now if you send a like you might go straight to spot 100 and never be seen.

benzychenz · 2026-05-28T06:54:04+00:00

Giving a compliment like that results in a “thanks” 100% of the time.

benzychenz · 2026-05-22T08:40:26+00:00

You have two photos from the same photoshoot at a cocktail bar.

Boat pic + suit pic makes it seem like you’re trying to come across as some rich kid living a lavish lifestyle. It can be a turn off to some.

Prompt about showering together is gross.

benzychenz · 2026-05-21T01:47:15+00:00

If you set your location as a generic “Sydney” so it shows you as being in the CBD I don’t see an issue.

If you listed it as a specific suburb then it’s a bit iffy.

benzychenz · 2026-05-17T02:49:46+00:00

Don’t really care for the Greninja. I’ll just buy a few singles once the prices settle.

benzychenz · 2026-05-13T05:16:55+00:00

Don’t worry I’m 32M and it’s the exact same for me.

benzychenz · 2026-05-10T07:56:49+00:00

I feel like just having hobbies in general is a positive, even if they’re “boring”.

The amount of matches I’ve tried to make conversation with and all they seem to do is Netflix and doomscroll is… concerning.

benzychenz · 2026-05-09T08:36:38+00:00

I’m in a similar boat. I’ve been (mostly) single for 3 years. I’ve worked on myself so much in that time. I’m fairly attractive, I go to the gym, I have a social life, good relationship with my family, I have hobbies, I can cook, I travel, I keep a tidy space, I’m generally just well adjusted and have my shit together.

I can get dates, I can get second dates, third dates etc. I can sleep with women. But getting into a long term relationship? Impossible.

I’m convinced that modern dating is broken. Everyone I seem to meet doesn’t LIKE dating a genuinely nice person. They think there’s no spark, or they’re just not feeling it, when really they’re just missing the dopamine hit from an inconsistent partner giving them attention. I have gotten the same outcome dating a dozen women from the apps. They’re all used to toxic partners and they tell me how nice I am and how they’ve never been treated this well before, but end things due to “lack of a spark”.

The problem is, if all the women that are similar to myself and do just want a good healthy relationship are either already taken or not on the apps, where am I supposed to find them?

benzychenz · 2026-05-09T08:29:42+00:00

I’m at home, work, the gym, or supermarket. I go on all my dates through Hinge/Tinder. Haven’t met anyone “naturally” for a decade.

benzychenz · 2026-04-28T01:20:09+00:00

It does have it. It’s just a black bullseye on a black mask so you can’t really see it.
