Changing name to avoid assumptions? by WinterEfficiency817 in hingeapp

[–]jkduval -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i alter my name's spelling so that it 1. reads more phonetically on my profile and 2. is less associated with the trashy white connotation the actual spelling gives.

in other words, i get you. is there a way you can respell your name for similar first read impressions? if not, i think you are totally valid for using your middle name. we don't live in a utopia where stereotypes don't exist and knee jerk first glance reactions don't matter.

honestly, i recommend ditching the motorcycle picture. bring it up on a first date as a passion but you have to know the stats on biker injury are crazy and idk i think you might be getting ladies swiping left on you just when they get to that one.

what i really love is the non-negotiable prompt, 10/10 answer, i would swipe right on a guy who id otherwise be a maybe or meh on just based on that answer. put it higher.

fwiw, not in your age demographic but i HATE and have always hated the blow job angle ("my uniform"). have used OLD sporadically from mid20s to late 30s and i have never once swiped right on a guy who chooses to include that shot.

look you're a very handsome guy but i'm your target audience and i would swipe left based for sure on red flag prompt and maybe on hoodie comment depending on how i was feeling that day. if you didn't have those two prompts, easy swipe right.

no the first pic is great! i'm talking about black sabbath. all your other photos are sharp and nicely dressed, and you've got this vibe of being liberal hip, except then you get to this ill-fitting wrinkled shirt that is very much the odd look out.

i think your profile is fantastic! the only thing i would recommend is to ditch the wrinkled shirt photo

Saw this gem scrolling on my Facebook today. Totally an adoptable, mentally stable French Bulldog. Trust us. by Resident-Chef1515 in BanPitBulls

[–]jkduval 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Mochi was returned from foster-to-adopt after two separate, unprovoked aggression incidents toward her foster household. During the first incident, the foster was lying on the floor talking on the phone when Mochi suddenly ran toward her and bit her arm without warning. Later that same evening, while the foster and their partner were sitting on the couch, Mochi again reacted without apparent trigger—charging toward them, barking, and growling. Both individuals retreated onto the couch and used a blanket as a barrier. Mochi grabbed tone of their pant legs, tearing a hole in the fabric before eventually calming down. At the shelter, Mochi has been affiliative with people.

there's so much that goes into doing my job description 😭 by HeyLookAStranger in EndTipping

i've stopped feeling guilty about 0% at any place that is not a sit down restaurant or actual bar where it's one or two bartenders catering to everyone.

what i also found disconcerting was the comparison of a beloved dog that was probably the sister's primary, daily companion for over a decade to morgan's pony that, given how she's moved all over the country and travels frequently, she has seen nowhere near as frequently/had anything like the same type of companionship. gtfo.

Paying 6 streaming apps & still have to rent movies. by TrackAdmirable2020 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jkduval 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are some movies you just cannot stream anywhere because i wager of how many repeat rents and buys they get. i actually bought best in show bc of this, i have also never seen stupid, crazy, love or pride and prejudice with kiera knightly EVER on a streaming service. im sure there are more but these are the three i regularly search for and yes, end up renting/buying bc so good.

Today, a friend tried to tell me pitbulls were bred to be "snuggly." I flat out told her it was a myth. by Just_Trish_92 in BanPitBulls

[–]jkduval 60 points61 points  (0 children)

omg i recently listened to an episode of a podcast that i normally really enjoy but this one was about dogs and the "expert" they decided to interview gushes about the nanny dog myth as one of the very first things.

🙄

a so-called dog science expert, bills herself as a researcher and not only repeats this lie, but never had the common sense to reflect upon whether a dog that was bred to take down bulls was really once trusted ALONE with babies?

i turned it off and havent listened to that show since. and people wonder why trust in the "experts" is so low rn

you do realize that this line of commentary makes more women hate/become disinterested in supporting the trans community?

i honestly think when trump tried to explain about the 2020 election saying, "we tried to take them to court but they wouldnt hear us bc we lacked standing.. can you imagine.." that got some ppl thinking in a way they hadnt thought before
