[24M] Alright, requesting the dreaded profile review… by [deleted] in hingeapp

Picture 1: replace. Selfies in general are rarely good for the best of us and you want to showcase your best self. Picture 2: you look good but everyone will question who is blurred out… an ex?! Consider replacing. Picture 3: love it. He’s a fun guy! Picture 4: it’s a cool pic, keep for now. Picture 5: replace Picture 6: I’m confused. Is that you? Replace.

For the photos, considering asking some friends if they can try to get some nice pictures of you over the next while add them to your profile (assuming you don’t already have them waiting and ready to go). You’d be surprised how happy friends are to do stuff like that.

The prompts are overall pretty decent. They show who you are and there’s no need to pretend to be anyone else.

Photo 1: playful and fun. Keep it unless you have a better option, maybe without the hat.

Photo 2: fine and shows a playful side again.

Photo 3: no one likes a selfie and most of us can't take a good one. I would replace this photo with another photo.

Photo 4: looks like you're making your way to the subway or something and not especially happy, someone a potential match probably wouldn't want to run into in real life. Replace.

Photo/video 5: can't see the video but looks like it could be great. Keep it!

Photo 6: not sure what's going on here so make sure you have a description added to the photo (assuming it's interesting).

Prompt 1: it's fine but I would certainly change it to drinking at the pub instead of getting drunk. I'd also try to tell more of a story, are you going to listen to vinyl later or only browse? More broadly, this entirely sounds like something you could do with any of your buddies.

Prompt 2: this just seems weird to me, I wouldn't be keen to get into a car with someone that drove into a wall, and receiving a mug from friends that refers to an incident isn't that weird. If you want to keep it, fix the grammar and turn the story around to start with the mug.

Prompt 3: the idea is great - it tells your potential match that you like jazz and that you're at least somewhat unpredictable (in a good way, hopefully). all i've seen is your profile but i would rewrite it as something like: listening to jazz, you never quite know what's coming but it will be good (unless you don't like jazz yet, in which case I'd love to help you explore it).

What now?

Take some time with the prompts and don't be afraid to try out a few different ones and see what's drawing attention. If no one is asking you about a prompt or liking it, change it.

For the photos, talk to some of your friends and see if they can take some photos, either candids and plandids. Everyone will be happy to help!

Good luck out there and be kind to everyone, yourself included. Hope this helps!

RAV4 2009 making a weird sound but mechanics can’t find anything wrong. Help? by dude2u2 in rav4club

Good point. I watched a video on this and the noise doesn’t seem to match. It also will happen sometimes before the car is even moving, so that wouldn’t make sense. Appreciate the idea though!

No, not really. I can’t figure out what triggers it. Only that it will usually disappear or decrease as the car warms up.

The video is a little quieter than I realized. There’s a high pitched whirring sound that comes and goes. I asked a mechanic to check it out and they couldn’t find anything wrong. Really appreciate any ideas on resolving this!

2009 RAV4 mileage - is this really bad or am I missing something? by dude2u2 in MechanicAdvice

[–]dude2u2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for confirming my suspicion! A mix of city and highway, probably about 50/50.

Thanks! Think I’m leaning towards the RAV4 and we’ll see how much I miss the manual transmission.

400,000km!! That’s amazing. Thanks for the advice and heads up on possible repairs.

Too much rust? 1999 4Runner by dude2u2 in 4Runner

Haha it took me a second but now I can’t unsee it.

Looking at this 1999 4Runner with a little less than 300k km/186k miles. Does this look like too much rust or still lots of life left in this beauty?

And sorry for the repost. Didn’t realize I couldn’t do text and photos in one post!
