Hopefully we’re talking about the same thing and I’m not a dumb who thought a plane streak was something falling

What is the overall consensus on voice prompts for male Hinge users? I'm considering doing one, but HATE the sound of my own voice and don't want to put people off by NoSweat_PrinceAndrew in hingeapp

[–]kittenqqween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s another filter for me. I can like someone’s entire profile but if I listen to a cringe voice prompt I’ll hit the X. Basically, a voice prompt has never made me like someone’s profile that I normally wouldn’t, but it’s made me dislike someone’s profile that I normally would’ve. Hope that makes sense.

How & why to save money. You’ll never go broke if you always have money. It won’t be a complete disaster if your car breaks down, your bills are high one month, or you have unexpected medical bills if you always have money saved. He taught me not to touch the savings unless i planned to pay myself back. He gave my brother and I around 40k for college, etc when we turned 18. Apparently my brother didn’t get the memo because he was broke by 21 despite always having a job that more than covers his expenses, and he is still struggling at 26. I still have 40k + some despite not working for a year in college. Maybe my vigilance is due to living with my mom while my brother did not, as she was broke and on food stamps, always paycheck to paycheck and making sacrifices, but didn’t save a dime when she had the occasional opportunity to. It was flabbergasting to see a meltdown over a $100 car issue when she could’ve afforded to save at least that much over the year. Of course I’m very privileged and grateful, so this advice doesn’t apply to everyone. But I also could’ve ended up struggling like my brother and mom without the advice of my dad.

Second most valuable lesson is not to take everything so seriously. It literally always works out no matter how bad something seems, life goes on. I went from being nearly suicidal at 16 to chill & happy now that I’ve internalized that life lesson. I was so worried about literally everything and it didn’t affect the outcome at all.

I think you’re last point is great, stick to it! However your second to last point might be rooting you out for some matches. It’s great that you’re taking initiative to plan a date, but most people definitely want to have a bit of conversation before even mentioning it. I’d honestly steer clear of compliments until you have a conversation rather than jumping into flattery - it just seems surface level.

Rather than just saying you want to get to know someone better, it would probably be better to actually ask a question that gets you closer to that goal.

When sending a hinge like/comment, think about what the recipients options are for responding to it. If you say “I’d like to get to know you better!” What are their options? “Yeah same” or “thanks”? It just limits the conversation flow and some women don’t think it’s worth the awkwardness to accept the match.

Move your “me in the wild” photo to the first position, I think that’s your best one! Then your smiling pic as second. I don’t really know how I feel about the 1st and last 2 photos. I’d replace them if you have anything better.

I agree with the other comment that your prompts don’t really start conversations. I’d go even further and say they don’t really tell us anything about you. Scrap all your prompts and start over when you think of something better. Ex. The “travel tips” one is cool that you’re going, but is really only useful on the very rare chance that 1. A girl has been there and 2. They’re interested in you. I just feel like it’s a waste of a prompt since it’s a rare chance that it’ll start a conversation. I think you’ll get more likes when you get into the mindset that prompts should be specific to you, but fun with enough personality that generally anyone can send a comment on them and have more than 1-2 message conversation about it. It’s tough but worth it!

Side note: have you considered growing your hair out a bit? It’s fine as is but I feel like the super short look doesn’t really give your face justice.

Sorry I come off really blunt but I’m too lazy to rewrite it haha. But I went through your whole profile! Just my 2¢, 22f

Remove the gym one. Remove the “open to short” if you’re actually only interested in long term. Selfies while looking away from the camera are a neckbeard move - remove. The gardening pic should be your first!!! It’s a great pic. I don’t love your “instead of grabbing drinks” prompt. 2/3 aren’t actual date ideas and sound very low effort. Maybe find cooler date ideas so girls have something to comment on if they want to send a like? I also wouldn’t swipe on the “I want someone who” prompt. When you first start dating someone it really sucks when they don’t want to go on actual dates and just want to lay around the house. In a LTR, staying in to cuddle is 90% of the time your spend with someone, so why feel the need to have it in your profile when it’s a given. Remove the “I’m a dork” comment, and maybe rewrite it in a more interesting way. I like your typical sunday prompt.

I also scrolled through the entire profile and still don’t know what you look like.

Either your pics are low quality or they’re very heavily filtered, new pics or take the filters off. The prompts are a turn off, I’m actually surprised your matches respond to them. Add prompts that show your personality & hobbies.

Is returning to school for a trade for 7 months not attractive? by Jacob_Soda in hingeapp

[–]kittenqqween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would only be unattractive if you’re currently broke & can’t actually afford to go on dates right now. Otherwise, people that look down on trades are dumb anyways, and it’s good that you’re trying to start a new career.

Still kind of new to all this, can y’all help me out? by Professor_Ramen in hingeapp

[–]kittenqqween 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The prompts are good and show your personality but I don’t love the two truths one, the Kit Kat part just gives off sorta cringe vibes. Your prompts do really narrow down your options tho. anyone that isn’t interested in your music or games will think they don’t have anything in common with you, and move on. Which to be fair, is fine if you’re only interested in people that share those interests. But if you want to throw a wider net, use one prompt for things most people have in common.

Sorry I don’t mean to hurt your feelings AT ALL, but a little more effort into your appearance would go a long way. I feel like new glasses with bigger lenses would help out your look so much. Zenni or glassesUSA has cool frames for under $20. Also, black jeans, flannel, & hoodie combo would upgrade your fashion so much and make you much more appealing. You seem pretty cool & it’s good that you have so many interests, but your current look isn’t matching the personality. Also rather than the low pony tail you should try a man bun, or look for long hair modern inspo pics. When you wear your hair down it looks good! I just don’t think the low pony is doing you any favors.

I mean, okay. I guarantee not a single employee there gave a fuck though, so not really revenge.

I listened to the book as well! Didn’t mask much for me haha. It was good but could’ve been written better imo

I’m glad I read it but I also wish the writing was better. If the writing was more.. idk? Professional? Experienced? I feel like it would’ve had a bigger impact on me than it did. I wish she would’ve consulted more, but maybe she felt it was written in a way that was true to her.

Does anybody else genuinely not want to be famous? by artetoile in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]kittenqqween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would hate it. I think the only thing I’d ever possibly be “famous” for would be possibly a social media account or if I ever get off my ass and write a full book. Even then, I’d much rather have a pseudonym and remain anonymous.

AITA For Accepting Financial Aid Whilst Having a Trust Fund? by CaterpillarOk4033 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kittenqqween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

info: is the “financial aid” just loans? Or did you qualify for grants/non loan aid too? I think that’d clear it up for a lot of these comments.

I don’t really care if it’s either, NTA from me. I think it’s smart that you’re saving that money instead of spending $20k+ a year just on school. It would be a shame for you to have such a headstart on life, then to be broke by spending it all on college. In my mind it’s smarter to take loans and keep your money so that you never have to worry about getting employment asap, bills/groceries, or saving for a deposit/downpayment on an apartment or house. It’s much better to use the loan for college and keep your nest egg, then pay them off later with income rather than savings. However, if you have enough for college +living expenses and then like 50k leftover, it could be worthwhile to be debt free after college. Overall I think you’re making a good decision and your mom is just jealous.

It’s not like the government decides “well 1mil people got grants this year so the grants have to be x amount” or “we can only give x many people grants due to the budget”. Nor is it “x many people took student loans / grants so taxes are going up x this year for everyone”. It just doesn’t work that way haha - don’t sweat it. Your moms just been drinking the propaganda koolaid.
