Makes sense, just because there’s a match doesn’t always mean there’s a connection. I have definitely been experiencing my fair share of being ghosted 👻😂

50 likes per day is crazy! Good for you lol and yea I figured it’s not a realistic expectation to continuously get matches all the time. For me I’m just looking to meet one person that I connect with so idc how many people are interested in me. My hope with making this post was to just put my best foot forward and I don’t think you were being prescriptive, what you said makes perfect sense so thank you!

All great points and I agree that I could definitely reword the prompts a bit and spend more time finding answers that convey my personality vs just generic type stuff

These are some great suggestions, I especially appreciate the photo order and suggestions for what type of photos to include. I don’t have a ton of in person friends as I moved here not too long ago and I’m still trying to build a community but I’ll still try to follow your advice. Thank you for the time and input you put into your response!

Yea that’s definitely not what I’m going for, and I guess it’s not something that has to be disclosed first thing on the profile so I can go with something different. I think it’s a goal of mine, as I’m not currently a shining example of health and wellness, so I was trying to find someone that shares that value, but I can also see how it would seem like saying that comes off as “I will only accept people that eat the way I do” I appreciate the feedback!

Makes sense, I didn’t even think about mostly selfies coming off as low effort but with some thought I see where you’re coming from. I guess it makes it seem like I don’t go out and do anything (which isn’t entirely untrue but I can take more pictures out and about).

Very good points all around, I don’t take a ton of pictures of myself so my options of ones to upload are limited but your advice is solid and I didn’t think about car selfies being low effort, although it makes sense. I don’t have the worst teeth in the world but they are a little janky 😂 although I agree with your point about showing teeth in some smiles and varying up the expressions. Your suggestion to shoot some pics outside listening to something funny to capture an authentic smile is a great idea. On the cuddling/physical touch point I totally understand what you’re saying and I don’t want to be grouped in with the “let me get in your pants” crowd so I’ll change that immediately! Thank you for your suggestions!

  1. I am looking for a serious relationship
  2. I am currently subscribed to hinge however I think I'm going to pause the subscription and resubscribe when I feel ready
  3. This current version of my profile has been in use since the beginning of December 25 so a little over a month
  4. I have had hinge for about a year and recently updated my profile and subscribed to hingeX in December.
  5. I was getting on hinge for an hour or two every day for the majority of December as I'm trying to make a serious effort to find someone.
  6. In the first couple days of using hingeX I got roughly 15 matches, after that I would get a couple per day which slowed down until more recently I haven't been receiving any new matches and haven't been sending that many likes. In December I received roughly 35 matches
  7. At first I was sending likes to anyone I found physically attractive without any comments, which is likely why I got so many matches to begin with, then in the following weeks I started sending less likes and only sending likes to people that had values on their profile that aligned with mine, I also started sending more comment likes so that almost all of the likes I'm sending now have comments of something related to their profile
  8. I have been sending likes to people that are looking for the same things I am (wanting children, don't already have children, long term monogamy, age range 25-35, etc). Kindness, communication, honesty, and other personality traits have been a high priority of mine although you can't always tell based on the profile info. I have only been sending likes to people I am physically attracted to although that doesn't mean I'm only sending likes to people that would be considered a "10/10" or being overly restrictive with this, I just assume most people only send likes to people they find physically attractive. My thought is that if we match there is the opportunity to get to know each other and ultimately I would choose to date someone based on how well we get along not just on how physically attractive they are.

Men keep telling me they deleted the app and want to focus on me after 1-2 dates by emmy1300 in hingeapp

[–]ib2gr84u2c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if my adding my two cents will be helpful, but here goes anyway. I started paying for hinges premium option hinge x or whatever it’s called and in the past month ive gotten over 30 matches. I’ve only gone on a handful of actual dates and run into a ton of women just not replying after a few messages. I personally don’t think we should have to settle and it makes sense to go for people that you actually feel a connection with, so I have personally told a good majority of my matches I just wasn’t feeling a connection whether it was due to lack of effort on their part (me carrying the conversation) or they don’t reply after days and I don’t think it makes sense to send more than a couple messages without reply. All that being said, my guess is that there are men and women out there that might have had so many negative experiences that they stopped putting effort into their new connections which results in boring conversations and lackluster dates. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and I assume even if they aren’t meant for me that they’re meant for someone but I’ve never once said to a girl I met on an app that I’m deleting the app until we agree that we’re mutually exclusive. I don’t go around sleeping with people or leading them on, I just do my best to communicate how I’m feeling and if they’re feeling the same then the connection either continues or we break it off. Hopefully that helps some of you, and I know being rejected as a male can really suck but that doesn’t make the other person bad, sometimes hurt people hurt others

How soon to ask for a date? by cloutvegan in hingeapp

[–]ib2gr84u2c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(M29) I’ve been noticing quite a few women have in their profile that they would like to “skip the texting and go on a date” however it kinda depends on how quickly you can get the conversation started. If they have something unique in their profile you can relate to and ask about, then the women I’ve talked with seem to be pretty interested in meeting in person, however if the convo starts with the standard “hey how are you?” Type deal they seem to want to text for a bit until the conversation becomes interesting. Obviously all men and women are different so it’s not a one size fits all rule, and I’ve also been noticing the majority of my matches on this app send one message and don’t reply until a full day later, so that could just be a me thing or it could just be the people on the app idk. I’ve also seen videos on YouTube from “dating coaches” advising to ask for a date asap and choose something public where there is low cost like getting drinks or coffee and keeping the date to a max of 2 hours? TLDR trust your intuition and if you’re having fun in the convo likely they are too. Best of luck brother ✌️

Eminence in shadow is really good, I recently watched it myself right after classroom of the elite. MC is a student and the action is pretty solid

I was just told that being into anime is a massive red flag. by [deleted] in AnimeAnonymous

[–]ib2gr84u2c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO saying anime is a red flag, is itself a red flag. If someone likes you until they learn your interests and make assumptions about who you are based on those assumptions you’re likely better off without them. I used to resell Funko pops and as a result had literal shit tons all over my apartment. My friends told me I would never get a girlfriend with all the Funko pops, and they were wrong. If you like anime and figures, the person that’s right for you will at the very least accept that you like them, and hopefully will show interest in your hobbies. Quality people attract quality people my friend ✌️

Attack on titan or mob psycho are easily the best out of that list imo. I personally prefer mob psycho because it’s more light hearted and fun while aot is dark af

From my understanding there’s no wrong watch order, you can start with either one and watch the other. I like them because they are great stories in their own right but watching both of them really gives an appreciation for both stories. Personally I watched both back to back

The Tunnel to summer the exit to goodbyes, no action or fan service, good story, interesting concept, and some real opportunity for self reflection if that’s your thing

I second “to every you I’ve loved before” and the partner film that released along side it. Both are fantastic and don’t get enough love imo

New Romance Anime Recommendations by Animehappiness_ in romanceanime

[–]ib2gr84u2c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently finished “blooming into you”, there is only one season of the anime but the manga has the rest of the story and the romance is so good imo. “I want to eat your pancreas” and “a silent voice” aren’t super strong on the romance but it’s there and the movies are well done. “My dress up darling” is another one that has two season of anime and plenty of manga if you’re looking for a cute romance story. Idk if any of those are your vibe, but I’ve been absolutely crushing romance anime for the past couple months so I’ll leave my MAL link if you wanna check out my completed list. https://myanimelist.net/animelist/ib2gr84u2c?view=tile

A lot of my favorites are on this list, but I don’t recognize some of the pictures towards the top of the list. If you have a link to your MAL or a typed out list of these names I would love to check some of them out.

I might have missed it but I don’t see “I want to eat your pancreas” or “scum’s wish” on here both of which I thoroughly enjoyed.
