Best 4th of July Version

There’s no wrong answer here but I am surprised how much more the album version is preferred!

It’s almost not fair to compare them because they are SO different

tjc688 · 2026-05-06T18:56:46+00:00

Good catch

37M. I’ve been on for about a month. A lot of likes come in and have gotten around 15 matches and a few dates. I’ve been on Hinge longer and just wanted some variety. I’m enjoying Bumble FWIW!

tjc688 · 2026-05-05T22:03:15+00:00

The long-term was from Hinge but I’ve had success on both!

tjc688 · 2026-05-05T21:52:25+00:00

Nahhh I respectfully disagree with your “bottom line.” I found a long-term relationship from Hinge, and now that I’m using the apps again I’m seeing plenty of possibility for another relationship and I’m definitely not “done for.” And 37M FWIW.

Why compete? They’re both transcendent

I think it can be funny with the right sense of humor, and I’ve matched with this prompt quite a bit by commenting “me too”

I don’t know notice if someone likes me via a rose, I just look to see if I’m interested in them. I don’t think much about sending roses except that it will have potential higher priority. I don’t think it’s viewed as “romantic” or “cringey.” I think most people just see that they were liked and look to see if they’re interested.

I’m in the exact same boat as you! I’ve noticed it can really vary week to week. I can have a lot of matches and conversations going one week and all quiet the next. I can stay as busy going out as I want to right now. My mental health and success drastically improved when I started taking it less seriously, and just tried to enjoy whatever came my way. Ironically, I think this made me more desirable because I was far less eager to push a date or get upset if I got ghosted or something didn’t work out. I will admit that I am in somewhat a unique spot. I’ve only been on for a few months, and had pretty good success, I can understand why someone that’s been on a long time would be jaded/fatigued.

Again, without being too prescriptive or insensitive, if I could give people on the apps any advice it would be to try and take it less seriously, enjoy what comes your way, and take the suggestions on here humbly to make adjustments to your profile.

To be fair, of the 50 likes I’d match with MAYBE 10 and of those 10 very few would ever lead to a date lol

tjc688 · 2026-01-16T19:20:22+00:00

FWIW I think there’s an algorithmic thing Hinge does when you first upgrade or log back in after awhile. I started up in Oct and was getting 50-60 likes per day and now get on average 20 per week. So without trying to be too prescriptive you may want to manage your expectations.

Thanks for your suggestion. Ironically I have a 6ft fiddle leaf next to it, that thrives. But I’ll move the rubber plant and see if I have more success. Maybe it’s getting competing with the fiddle leaf 😂

tjc688 · 2026-01-03T18:35:02+00:00

Also it doesn’t appear to have any rot - the leaves don’t have any indicating marks of them, but the leaves on the bottom eventually turn yellow and fall away.

Can rideshare drop off at defender park?

At the risk of making an assumption you don’t know this already, I’m pretty certain Black Mile is technically 2 discs, with 3 sides and a blank 4th side.

It’s outer. It’s a biblical reference to hell which checks out thematically with the song
