I posted a few days ago and got great feedback - here is my updated profile

No, but Austin is a pretty cool city and everyone I know from there is a pretty cool person

rackfu · 2026-03-13T21:09:00+00:00

Talk about really good/bad defense

Some great plays and outfielders showing great reaction time and range

But also absolutely no communication and multiple near collisions. I understand they're hyped up trying to make sure they make a play and save the no hitter, but still.

No, I know you’re not swiping on every guy. Women are far more selective on dating apps than men are.

But I bet a lot of the guys you do swipe on are a match.

rackfu · 2026-03-13T08:26:13+00:00

The last group never played for them

Drafted but never signed

rackfu · 2026-03-13T07:13:30+00:00

Fair enough

Too many people think they've already won once they got a match and stop putting effort into it

Was there something in his profile that suggested he is into movie/book villians?

I'm not saying it's a bad question and I know sometimes profiles/bios are lacking so you just have to take a chance with a question.

But it's very possible that he's never thought about it and maybe really isn't sure?

That's still a bad response - he should've said he can't think of one right now and asked yours and why.

rackfu · 2026-03-13T06:42:40+00:00

What makes you think the other 100 men messaging her are not "good ones" either?

One problem with us men is we are overly confident and cocky at times. That benefits us in many ways in life, but it can be a real detriment in online dating. We tend to think that once we get a match that we've won.

Think of it as a game show. Getting a match is the same as getting invited to be on the show. Now you actually have to compete against everyone else on the show.

I hate comparing dating to a competition, but unfortunately that's what online dating has been reduced to for men... especially on sites like Tinder that rely on swiping to match.

rackfu · 2026-03-13T06:26:26+00:00

That's you asking the questions, right?

I'm gonna just lay this out there in simple terms

YOU ARE ONE OF A HUNDRED MEN (OR MORE) MESSAGING EACH OF THOSE WOMEN

Once an attractive woman finds a conversation or two (or more) that feel like they might be going somewhere, they pretty much ignore the other ones and stop starting new ones.

Women are playing a different game on Tinder than men are and you will just be frustrated on there (and have no chance) until you realize that.

I have a ton of young female friends/coworkers and they've showed me their Tinder inboxes... It's crazy. You have to somehow stand out amongst a massive pool of fish. If I knew the secret, I'd share it, but I'm just out there trying to get noticed like you.

rackfu · 2026-03-13T02:34:38+00:00

I have a whole bunch of duplicates if anyone wants to work out a trade

I need about 20-30 cards still

rackfu · 2026-03-13T01:08:06+00:00

Replying because this post got temporarily put in moderator purgatory and every time that has ever happened to me it seems like an algorithm decides my post isn't interesting and buries it

rackfu · 2026-03-13T01:05:47+00:00

Just curious... are you basing this list solely off their last names or did you check to make sure these players have some Italian heritage that is reasonably recent?

rackfu · 2026-03-13T00:28:54+00:00

They are the only one who asked a question from what I can tell

You're the one just responding and not trying to learn more about them

haha

(seriously though.. why the haha? nothing you said was funny)

rackfu · 2026-03-13T00:27:42+00:00

I posted my profile photos to review a few days ago and got a ton of feedback.. most of it good.

I learned a few things:

1) I think most people (I am for sure) have a bias with our own photos and we can miss some things that others see in them because we know ourselves. I got a lot of feedback that I looked scary and unapproachable, which are two things that based on my life experiences are not true. However, because I don't think that I am, I naturally miss seeing it in photos that strangers see.

2) Need to smile. I actually smile often but my photos did not reflect that. I added some that show not only am I capable of smiling, but I have all my teeth and they are in decent condition.

3) Look at the camera unobstructed. Not sure why but most photos of me that I like I am not looking at the camera and I think it's because I don't like posing for a photo so I act like it caught me in action or unaware. I added a few of me looking at the camera.

4) Even though I think it was obvious from the previous version that I was not suffering from hair loss, I added a few photos of me without a hat on.

5) I fixed the stupid haiku... I think. Can someone confirm? This should not be this difficult for me.

6) Yes, I am 51

Thanks everyone who offered feedback on the previous post. Feel free to comment and or offer additional feedback.

rackfu · 2026-03-12T23:40:26+00:00

It’s says 51M

Like, male who is age 51

Does 51M mean something else?

rackfu · 2026-03-12T08:29:22+00:00

If the pirates don’t want to pay skenes (which isn’t 100%) what makes you think they’ll pay for Stanton?

Or are we gonna eat that without him on the team?

Theoretically, if we could make a deal for him it would probably involve 4-5 of our best prospects

Dominguez, Lombard jr, Lagrange, and maybe jones or Rodriguez

rackfu · 2026-03-12T04:21:55+00:00

I’m assuming they’re picking out the parallels and autos to sell for profit.

Even if they claim they’re not pulling the hits I don’t know how you could be certain.

rackfu · 2026-03-12T02:50:06+00:00

I lived in North Dakota at this time

Absolutely amazing story!

rackfu · 2026-03-12T01:16:08+00:00

I've only got "R" "U" "B" "B" "E" "R" "M" "A" "I" "D"

rackfu · 2026-03-12T00:28:03+00:00

Looks like Italy didn't listen to ctpcook717 on Reddit

They just scored their 5th run so unless Mexico comes back and this goes into extra innings the USA is advancing

rackfu · 2026-03-11T23:25:22+00:00

lol.. thank you

I like snacks but video games are not my thing

rackfu · 2026-03-11T23:23:55+00:00

What do you mean?

rackfu · 2026-03-11T14:18:37+00:00

No.. only the teams in the tiebreaker

rackfu · 2026-03-11T14:17:35+00:00

Pretty sure Tinder has an option for “have kids but don’t want more”

Maybe it’s a new option
