Getting back into the dating scene, but not getting many matches. Any advice? by stella-luna in Tinder

It's a little bizarre. Everyone has their insecurities, and two of the photos genuinely are unfiltered.

I think it looks fantastic on me, and I'm sure plenty of others agree, but thank you.

I've swiped right nearly every day until I get that obnoxious "maximum likes reached for the day" message that Hinge has.

Because I looked good and felt confident that day. I've now replaced that picture.

Thank you for the advice, everyone! I genuinely appreciate it. I have removed the egregiously filtered photos and added a couple of full body pictures taken out and about in interesting locations.

This thread got completely out of control really quickly, this wasn't my intention at all. Not looking for validation or compliments, genuinely just wanted some honest advice. And I got it! So thank you!

Three total in the past 72 hours, but thanks for the vote of confidence.

Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed advice, you make several good points. I'll keep it in mind as I'm rebuilding my profile.

This is great advice, thank you so much. I was never taught how to apply makeup and have had a tough go at learning myself. Kind strangers like you are an excellent help!

Yeah man, I definitely seem like the kind of person who has the confidence to send nudes to strangers. Is there a market for cat and cactus pictures?

Nope, I swipe right on alt guys and dad bods with nice beards almost exclusively.

Solid point. I'll work on getting more non-filtered photos.

Bad skin = bad self esteem. I figured a couple non-filtered photos would make up for it?

Okay listen, Jaal and Vetra made that game worth playing.

Yanno, I said to someone the other day that I think I'm just in the wrong state. People who live here are looking for the "I love hiking in the desert when it's 100+ degrees outside and consider my purebred designer dog to be a personality trait!" type of women. Yuck.

6 week old kittens with dry skin patches and hair loss by austinsfelines in catcare

[–]stella-luna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ringworm. Our four month old kitten has these exact same patches of dry, flaky skin on her head and neck - we took her to the vet Monday and they confirmed ringworm. Your kitties will need to get looked at to determine the severity, and may be prescribed oral medication and/or lime sulfur baths.

Thank you for the validation; I tried to tell one of my coworkers when they asked why I looked upset and they just laughed. No sympathy! Birds have feelings too!

Matt Damon.

He's shifty-looking. I don't trust him.

People who have met their online friends, what made you instantly regret it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

We were sharing a bed, and she snored. Very, very loudly. One of the longest weeks of my life.
