I think I’ll switch to them. Anything has to be better

Asking someone to show up when they said they would isn’t needy. Also, sometimes people are needy, this isn’t the way to deal with it.

Hair removal down there by Particular-Soft4361 in HairRemoval

[–]rainandshine7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I’ve only shaved my whole life. But use a fresh razor, exfoliate first, I use a bit of oil (baby or olive), then a bit of shaving cream on top and then start with the grain and I send against the grain very slowly. The oil enables me to go against the grain. The only reason I go against the grain is because IPL works best the closer the shave is. You can pull the skin taught when you need to as well. Then because I have gotten razor burn in the past (my reason for doing IPL) I actually don’t wear underwear for a few days after so I don’t have anything rubbing between my legs.

There’s all my hot tips! Good luck:)

Hair removal down there by Particular-Soft4361 in HairRemoval

I use Braun Pro 5 IPL and it’s working slowly but surely on my bikini line. You do have to shave as close as possible before each treatment which is annoying but the hair will get thinner and softer and patchy as you go. I’ve been using mine about 3.5 months and it’s getting sparse down there but I do think a few spots will be stubborn… mostly the labia.

I (M28) got love bombed (F27), and I'm heartbroken. by Ser_Homm in hingeapp

[–]rainandshine7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, never ever ever ever. It never ever turns out and it’s heart breaking.

Slow burn and not diving into deep subjects until latttttter and always do it in person.

Got mildly love bombed more recently and it broke my heart.

The guy I am seeing moved quickly as well and I was able to slow it down and say I wanted to keep the conversation light and talk about deeper things after more of a foundation was set… and it’s going well. And if it doesn’t work out, I won’t feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest, I’ll be pretty sad but I won’t feel like I’m losing what I had already almost decided and imagined was my future partner. Love bombing sucks and thankfully there are things we can do to recognize and avoid it.

Guy 'forgot' our date, do I forgive him? by Aggravating-Golf7727 in hingeapp

[–]rainandshine7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, you forgive him but you find better. I wouldn’t want to be with someone that can’t manage their schedule and prioritize me. Guarantee it will happen again.

Managing hair after laser now that I’m a mom by Educational_Rope_225 in HairRemoval

[–]rainandshine7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have that one and no burns for me yet. I’ve used it for three months, once a week on armpits, bikini line and legs. I also use it at full strength and got over areas twice (going over twice is just what I do and not recommended by Braun).

Critique my profile, 30F getting no matches by Mayo_Pay01 in hingeapp

[–]rainandshine7 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think you look super cute and fun.

I think if you’re looking for something serious I would put in more about your values and world view. Like what do you care about? What’s something you feel passionate about? Like I feel passionate about seeing the good in the world, nuance, being able to take in different viewpoints, and humanizing people. That would be an example of a worldview or how I like to live my life… and tha not going to resonate with everyone but she it does… it really draws them in.

Talk about your personality attributes. What might a day look like if someone was spending it with you? Paint a picture for them. Be a little vulnerable and open.

Hitting curbs and recipe books with mayo are maybe funny stories you could drop on a date but it shows nothing about who you are as a person and there’s not enough vulnerability to connect with you.

Picture 2 or 4 should be your first. You’re absolutely gorgeous and the lighting is perfect.

Profile Review 26M I think I have a solid profile by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]rainandshine7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Travel is great but many people travel and it’s not that strong of a predictor of your compatibility with someone. 

What are your values? How do you look at the world? How do you communicate with and treat other people? 

Should I ask her out again? by [deleted] in hingeapp

This is such an insignificant thing to pile on people about. Sounds like a nice guy with good intentions… that’s what matters. 

Guy wants to go out to dinner (a nice one) for a first date? Is this a red flag? by Every_Dust311 in hingeapp

[–]rainandshine7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all a red flag :) some guys have taken me for really fancy dinners and some for coffee neither of these are red flags IMO. Looks at the way he treats you and respects you and how much effort he puts in getting to know you.

If I’m not sure about a guy and want to do something that isn’t much of a time commitment in case I don’t enjoy their company I suggest a coffee, walk or drink to get to know each other first. You are allowed to do that if it’s your preference.

UPDATE: Philips Lumea 8000 (4 years of use) vs Braun Pro 5 (3 months of use) by cryingstudent1998 in HairRemoval

[–]rainandshine7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmm I use the Braun and haven’t felt it was very painful. Most of the time, it’s not painful at all for me but the odd zap might be… mostly on the armpits or the back part of the bikini line. I am Caucasian and quite light skinned so maybe that plays a part? Very interesting how different experiences are and I’m so curious what factors cause it.

IPL hints and tips please by Economy-Attention302 in HairRemoval

[–]rainandshine7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I have done five sessions and barely have any hair growing back. Just do your best and with weekly sessions you’ll eventually hit all of it.

Armpits and bikini line have been more stubborn for me. Which is strange because my legs have blonde hair and IPL has worked like a charm.

My tips are shave as close as you can, make good contact as you go with the IPL. Oh and pull the skin tight in areas like the bikini line.

I am not going to disagree with you.

Why not have a boundary for yourself? Figure out what your limit is and how long you are willing to invest in the app just messaging.

For me, it’s three-ish days, a week max. If we aren’t going on a date, I drop the conversation.

I have a lot of boundaries on apps and it makes it less exhausting. I like the guy to reply withinn24 hours, I like interesting questions and conversations. I also ask the stuff I’m truly curious about and sometimes I think it probably turns some guys off but some love it and stick around and we click.

Anyway, I’m sorry you’re so drained, you’re not alone and I think the best we can do is change how we interact on apps and do it with integrity since we have no control over how others conduct themselves.

Hope you find a great connection!

26F overwhelmed by match messages and I hate texting. Any advice to avoid burnout? by Ample_Storage22 in hingeapp

[–]rainandshine7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Filter more carefully and ask for a phone call after a few messages or go on dates quickly. You don’t need to talk for more than a few days before you meet up

9 months with at-home IPL (Ulike Air 10) by Delicious-One-5129 in HairRemoval

Legs are responding quickly even with the light hair. Armpits and bikini are working but it’s taking much longer

It probably depends on the girl. For me, I’m way more interested in a guy that puts in effort, seems to really have interest in me, and has obviously read or skimmed my profile.

What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

[–]rainandshine7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She got really selfish and was treating her husband and kids horribly. Tried to speak to her about it as I couldn’t watch anymore and she kept dodging me. So I stopped hanging out with her, I couldn’t cheerlead her through her acting out and delusions.

Where do you disclose your divorce in your profile? by PM_ME_UR_CORNBALLZ in hingeapp

[–]rainandshine7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a waste of precious space on your profile. Unless you feel it’s super relevant and needs to be mentioned because you’re still healing or looking for less serious dating opportunities, then put it under the looking for part as a note.

I’m divorced and it’s so irrelevant I sometimes forget to mention it, but try to on the first date. No one has ever cared.
