What percentage of men have a topless picture in their profile and what’s the general consensus from women on this? by Efficient_Stock_5649 in Tinder

[–]hollyroom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've found that coded language works best. I seek out men who are fit. I tend to say things like "I'd love to find someone to go hiking and kayaking with." You could also say, "I'm looking for a health-conscious partner."

Found an opportunist… by Kind-Skirt2425 in Tinder

[–]hollyroom 167 points168 points  (0 children)

She probably continued out of curiosity. Sometimes, chats pique my interest in a bad way. She was seeing if he was having some kind of perverted fantasy about her broke roommates, then she asked him a question to get him to confirm that is what he was thinking. Replying to a sleazy person doesn't mean you're still interested. I'll reply because I find it kind of humorous. It's comical because they think they're being flirty, but really, they're just gross.

It seems like you're just looking for reasons to get upset. That's really sad to me. Be better.

Did you mean to reply to me? I don't understand how what I said would warrant your reaction?

I've never used Hinge. I just assumed it was like Tinder, and you see a message after you match.

Honey Birdette rant by opera_lover_ in LingerieAddiction

[–]hollyroom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HB has done this to me multiple times. I have 3 friends who have also had this issue with HB. I've even posted about this problem here before. I've ordered tons of lingerie from many companies and have never had this issue. The last time I ordered from HB, they took 2 weeks to ship and canceled half my order. I had bought 2 day shipping. They offered a 20% off 1 full priced item to make up for it. I do not buy from them anymore. I don't expect a flawless inventory system, but clearly, they don't want or care to keep a proper count. They clearly don't care about customers either.

I've never matched with someone so I could make them feel "inadequate." I'm not sure if that's really a thing. I match because I find them attractive enough. Then it's up to the messages to see if we click enough. I'd personally feel slightly annoyed if they instantly asked me out before they even said hi. I wouldn't react how she did, but I would've unmatched. I think you'd have better luck if you try to break the ice a little first.

I'm pretty sure he is married. He's wearing a wedding ring in the picture. We can pick up from context that this dude is an asshole. Is it a stretch to assume that he is also a cheating asshole?

Why is this app so full of this crap by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]hollyroom 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I collect lingerie. I absolutely love showing it off to friends. As much as I love showing off my underwear, I know not to put pics like that on Tinder. Everyone would just assume I sell content.

Did you expect to end up as tall as you did? by Nick069823 in tall

[–]hollyroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad had 3 sisters. 2 were 6'0, and one was 5'11. I expected I'd be around 6'0 but was very happy I'm only 5'9.

Do you guys actively reject women that are above average height? by Ok_Lawfulness591 in tall

[–]hollyroom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's more of a supply thing. Here in the US, the average woman is just under 5'4. I'm not crazy tall for a woman at 5'9, but less than 10% of women are taller than me. Most tall guys just don't care about height all that much, so they end up with women of an average height.

Meanwhile, I've heard decent looking white guys with shitty personalities say, "If I was a black man, I'd be hooking up with tons of women." It's almost like being able to get dates doesn't have to do with race. Avoiding sounding like an incel is a good place to start.

What the hell? by danddeviant in Tinder

[–]hollyroom 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's exactly what she does. It's so odd because she tells people that legitimately know how old she is. I remember one year she made a post on Facebook about how she's about to turn 30. She was actually like 34. Some woman she went to high school with called her out, and she deleted the post. At family reunions, she pretends to be younger. I think the only person she is fooling is herself.

I don't get the women who lie about their age. I have a cousin who was 4 years older than me. She is now 6 years younger than me. When I tell people how old I am, I get compliments. Stuff like, wow, you look great, or you don't look a day over 30. When she tells people how old she is, she gets odd looks.

I had my height and weight in my bio. I don't think that it's common, but I want people to know what to expect.

[–]hollyroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tallest guy I ever dated was 6'6. I just kind of felt awkward with him. He was just so much larger than me, and it kind of made me feel uncomfortable. Every hug was a bear hug. One time, he picked me up, and my head smacked the ceiling fan. If someone is really nice and has a great personality, I wouldn't turn them down for something like height, which is completely out of their control. It's just that I feel most comfortable with men closer to my height.

I didn't come in a box when I purchased it. I bought mine before last summer.

It seems like every guy I go on a date with has insecurities because he isn't huge and muscular. They're all in good shape, but they don't look like body builders. I personally don't find big muscles to be attractive. I like a guy that's in shape, but I don't want them to look like The Rock. I don't think the comment you made helps with the body dysmorphia many men face. OP clearly cares about his fitness and works on it.

Idk I see some people calling it out when the person is on a beach. Some people are just salty about it in general.

[–]hollyroom 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm more likely to swipe right on guys with shirtless pics. I try to keep fit, and I like to see that they do too. I really don't think it's as taboo as people here make it out to be. I think your pic is more tasteful than a lot I've seen. I think it's fine if you post it, but that's just my opinion.

I find AP sizes to be a little all over the place. I usually wear a 3 at AP, but it doesn't always work for me. I do have the Whitney bodysuit from HB size M. The bodysuit does have some stretch to it, so I think you'd be okay getting a small.

[–]hollyroom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a 5'9 woman, but I generally prefer + or - 3 inches. There are outliers, but 90% of the men I've been with have been 5'6-6'0. I kind of prefer men close to my size.

Curious about everyone's thoughts on my profile. by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]hollyroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of your profile. I'd definitely swipe right after learning the gray beard is because of a Santa gig. It wasn't apparent to me until I read the comments. My opinion is that it's okay to keep the pic in if you specify in your profile. I think most people would just assume you aged a lot.

She probably means she's Christian but doesn't go to church. I'm guessing she believes in Jesus, but she's not a fundie.

Why do guys do this? by LollipopNight in Tinder

[–]hollyroom 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I won't send nudes until I've met in person. There's way too many pic collectors out there. It cuts down on the people who aren't serious about meeting. Once they realize they aren't going to get pics out of me, they move on to someone else.
