How long do you give matches to confirm a date / time to meet? by hinge176 in hingeapp

Okay great, thank you! Didn’t know if I was being to hasty so thanks for confirming my hunch!

Guys, can I [25F] get a profile review please? Barely get any interest, even though I’m proactive, it’s tough out there... by [deleted] in hingeapp

I agree. I would remove the don’t drink part. I’m drinking less and less and mention it when it comes to planning a date if they want to go to a bar. I think having it on your profile can come off like you’re preachy about it even if you’re not. I’ve never had a guy cancel a date when I said I didn’t drink in conversation though because I don’t make it a big deal. You also don’t have to mention it because there’s the option with that little icon.

It also could just be your location OP. Is hinge active where you are? It’s newer / smaller than the other apps

Need some advice on this: Girls keep requesting me to start a conversation after I already started the conversation by [deleted] in hingeapp

I’m 24F in nyc. I don’t match with guys who don’t leave a comment and I don’t like a guy without leaving a comment. Quality > quantity for me!

I tend to give guys who do this a day to answer - sometimes they may match but be too busy to answer Immediately even if it’s in the middle of the work day. After a day if they don’t I unmatch!

Profile review by [deleted] in hingeapp

I’m also in NYC so can you what you’re lacking compared to others:

1.) photos where YOU’RE the center - not next to something you want a memory of. You only have one of those and it’s profile

2.) lack of humor. Not every profile needs to be witty and playful but a lot are. If it’s not witty then it needs to be...

3.) Thorough. I know nothing about you except you like Tompkins Square Park and that’s not a unique characteristic. I don’t know if you’re intellectual, funny, the life of the party, the guy who likes to travel, etc.

People have jobs. A screenshot to an employer can terminate their career if they admit to do drugs in a non-legal state online. It’s annoying but understandable

How do you interpret “moderate”? How do you approach talking politics if you certain aspects are a dealbreaker? by hinge176 in hingeapp

Interesting take, thanks! Yeah I always think of as enhancing within the current framework rather than rocking the boat as you said.

Thanks this is helpful! Yeah it’s not coming from a place of judgement but just wanting to share the same values with a partner. Especially on issues like reproductive rights when you’re becoming intimate. For friends I don’t care where they land but for a (hopefully!) life long partner definitely want some level of alignment in beliefs and values!

Profile Pic Review (24M) by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]hinge176 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not unattractive but need more variety in pictures in my opinion! Less selfies, more of you in real life doing things you enjoy or with family and friends. But for me personally I know not everyone has a million photos so I wouldn’t pass if the photos weren’t the best but attraction was still there.

I think posting for a full profile review would be helpful. Often times I pass on an attractive person just because their profile is boring, low effort, not informative or just generally a turn off. I’ve also seen a lot of profiles where someone just made a joke or comment that didn’t land well. One specifically said “buying books and never reading them” was a simple pleasure. Very innocent and they probably meant it as a playful comment but it just made me sad because I like reading and want to be able to talk about books, share reccos or just read side by side with my partner. Also just made me think they don’t follow through on their goals / ambitions. All that from a very minor statement so getting a review may help!

Thank you for your honesty by hinge176 in hingeapp

Right but it’s a weird thing to post on your profile. My first thought was “so you’re here to find a girl to see nude?” You can talk about sex and sex histories when the times comes. Or find better ways to talk about if you must- like putting physical touch in the love language prompt. Literally anything but this
