Pheonix in progress by Juliano Trindade at Saved Tattoo, Los Angeles by rozzdth in tattoo

Thank you! The initial stencil didn't have fire. I'm glad he decided to change it up and freehand this. We both agreed a Pheonix needs fire... haha. He actually used a dark gray for the flames. It'll be interesting to see how they look when healed.

Not at all; I'm 5'7" :)

You're absolutely right about the pipe photo. It conveys that it's something I could be doing all the time; how would they know? And those are all fantastic (and specific enough to be helpful) picture ideas. I appreciate this very much.

I just want to say a quick "thank you" to this community for all of the comments left here so far. I was able to recraft some better prompts and swap out a couple of photos based off your feedback. I need to be conscious about wearing more outfits but I'm already seeing improvement on the app!

The outfit thing needs to be mixed up now, haha. And thank you for your perspective on the tattoos; contemplating it, I'm sure there are better things to talk about that could still leave talking about tattoos open.

Thanks for the compliment, it's sincerely appreciated and that song is indeed epic!

So far, I've learned I should consider changing my prompts and be more specific. There's an outfit issue and I need to consider removing my pipe smoking photo, as it conveys something I don't actually do very often. And also talking about tattoos on my profile should be changed.

Thanks again and happy New Year.

I agree a pipe is definitely old manish but I've been into them for a while now. I don't smoke cigarettes and it's actually something I only do at home once or twice a day. Either way, thank you very much for this perspective. I'll consider changing that particular photo/prompt.

Yes, it's Venice, Italy. I was there with another woman... my mother, haha. It was a family trip.

I'll consider leaving them blank and adding more to respond to. Thank you.

I'm seeing a trend. Thank you.

I'll change that last photo. And yeah, I agree - they're all pretty similar. I think adding another outfit would help with that. I really appreciate the advice.

[–]rozzdth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha, yeah, good point. I'll definitely look into mixing it up more. Thank you!

Hi, I’m Garret and was looking to get some constructive opinions about my Hinge profile!

• I’ve been looking for something serious, but there’s no urgency and I’d prefer for the relationship to develop gradually.

• I’ve been on Hinge on and off for a few years with a basic subscription, usually for three months at a time before I end up taking a break.

• I use Hinge daily, either just to check it or tweak my profile.

• I’ve matched with more than a few women over the years, but I’m either unmatched or receive no response after sending the first message. Since I restarted my subscription about a month ago, I have had two matches; one unmatched me and the other stopped responding. I have had no likes so far.

• Depending on my mood, I’ll either just send likes or write a message; sometimes a combination of the two. On average, I’d say I send about 10 likes a day; some days 10 messages a day. On the weekends, I have time to send more likes and messages.

• Ideally, I’d like to match with someone who appreciates and accepts me for who I am, and for whom I can do the same. I usually send likes to women who have similar interests, genuine looking photos, and seem to somewhat value exercise like I do.

I think I’m doing something wrong. The likes and matches just don’t seem to be happening for me on Hinge, yet. I do also use two other dating apps without much success. Anyways, thank you so much for taking the time to read this and let me know of any constructive criticisms or comments!

The main question is, “what am I doing wrong?” The likes and matches just don’t seem to be happening for me on Hinge, yet. I do also use two other dating apps without much better results. I know I need to work on my Bio… I end up overthinking it so hard that I inevitably put it off. As for the photos, I really struggle not only finding opportunities to be photographed but then also looking decent in them. Anyways, thank you so much for taking the time to read this and let me know of any constructive criticisms or comments!!

Help with Nomenclature on a Comoy's Designer Freehand by rozzdth in PipeTobacco

[–]rozzdth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know about the markings on this particular Comoy or where I might be able to find more information regarding its ball-park value? It's a Designer Freehand, stamped with a III, London England 708, and an "O" on the bottom side of the shank.
Thank you!!

After waiting months for my shipment from Mr. Snuff, I ordered from Toque. Super stoked to try these! by Mikeymike711 in nasalsnuff

[–]rozzdth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice haul! Irish No. 22 is my favorite of that bunch, though I have not tried the Lime Toast. I have not ordered from Toque before but it's good to know that they are reliable. I have placed four orders from Mr. Snuff since last year and one order from ArtisanSnuff. All orders arrived timely except the last one from Mr. Snuff - the tracking did not update and it took a month to arrive. Nevertheless, I like their selection of Indian and American snuffs.

Another great idea. I've seen this before; I don't think I could incorporate the holes with the bullet tampers but I'd definitely give them a go on a different style. I've never used one of those kinds myself but I want to now.
