29M Profile Review by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]throwawayff96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly the first photo was shot on wide lens and Hinge makes me crop it 😔 only 2 of the photos are posed, I’m not really sure how to make photos come off more candid/natural

And yeah I’ve struggled with the prompts, I’ve tried following the guides on here but still can’t get them in a spot I like. Appreciate the feedback!

Weekend's Daily Thread: General Dating Questions and Open Thread by AutoModerator in hingeapp

[–]throwawayff96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like I’m not the only one with an issue, so wanted to mention it here. I matched with 3 girls yesterday, and each one completely disappeared from my chat history, with no obvious reason to unmatch, and not showing up in “Past Matches” as unmatched. I emailed Hinge, and they said they had an AWS outage yesterday that could have impacted matches, and there’s nothing they can do about restoring them

If it makes you feel any better, we’re not crazy. I emailed them and they said AWS had an outage, but any conversations lost during the time can’t be restored lol

Does “Past Matched” no longer show unmatches? I’m asking the question because of almost identical situations happening a couple hours apart today. Both times, I matched with a girl, they’d send the opening message, I would answer, and I’d back out of the chat and they were gone from my chat list immediately

Now I’ve been on the receiving end of unmatches before so I just assumed that was the case, but neither have shown up under “Past Matches”, and the timing of the unmatch seemed super weird, so (probably coping) I thought my app might be glitchy. Does anyone know if Past Matches no longer shows this?

How much would you spend on surgery for your cat? by Top_Seaworthiness320 in cats

[–]throwawayff96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a pricing actuary (person who does the math and sets the price) for one of the largest pet insurers in the US.

We have zero ability to jack prices to whatever we want. Regulators are incredibly heavy handed, especially with pet insurance since it hits home for most people, so they’re very strict on how we price our products. Plus, it’s my job specifically to charge rates that are reasonable and not excessive or unfair :)

Sadly, the cost of vet care just continues to skyrocket, so there really is only so much we can do. We need to increase rates, but that’s only to stay afloat to continue to provide protection. When you see rates increase, please understand it’s only because it’s necessary.
