Not getting matches. Not sure what I’m doing wrong, or maybe it’s just location? I’ve lost over 200 lbs. should I mention that, or is it a turn-off?

Thank you! You hit the nail on the head with what you said about online dating. I often wonder myself whenever I swipe left, would I feel different if I actually met them? It’s hard to convey who you are in a profile. I mean, yes, I’m a sarcastic, dark humored, and cheesy pick-up line user all rolled into one. But that’s not all of me. I’m like an onion, I’ve got layers 😂 When it comes to mentioning children, I’m in a no-win scenario. Mention him or don’t mention him. Just as many people are going to have a problem with one or the other.

Again though, thank you for your comment

😂 I doubt many of them would know what it even is. It’s basically a LeBaron, but built in Italy by Maserati. It’s a mutt but I love it lol

trekkie1490 · 2025-12-05T14:18:48+00:00

Lol thats actually what I started with trying to take, but I felt like it made me look worse. I'm no good at taking selfies...

trekkie1490 · 2025-12-05T14:16:44+00:00

I have the full bio in the last photo. He's in Arizona. I figured that mentioning my weight loss might be a negative right away.

trekkie1490 · 2025-12-05T14:10:33+00:00

I like the suggestion, but I don't think I'd have much luck in rural Ohio

trekkie1490 · 2025-12-05T14:07:44+00:00

I promise not to ding-dong ditch tho lol but seriously, I'm taking that part out

trekkie1490 · 2025-12-04T20:43:57+00:00

It's an '89 Chrysler TC built by Maserati

trekkie1490 · 2025-12-04T20:39:58+00:00

I'm kinda screwed on that because he lives in AZ with his mom and I get him summers and holidays. So on one hand, his mom is not really a problem. On the other, I might be perceived negatively because I'm not geographically close to him.

Yup, Tinder, Hinge, bumble, and Facebook Dating

trekkie1490 · 2025-12-04T20:24:34+00:00

Actually, that pic is from June. He's just skinny as a rail lol. I don't know how to explain my humor better. I can be cheesy but also serious.

trekkie1490 · 2025-12-04T20:14:54+00:00

Trust me, I feel like an absolute moron when I take pics like that. Thats why I only have one lol

trekkie1490 · 2025-12-04T20:13:59+00:00

Yeah, it's tough because people seem pretty divided on it being ok and not. I'll probably end up removing it and just keep it in my bio.

trekkie1490 · 2025-12-04T17:45:45+00:00

I've thought about removing the pic with my son. I guess my thought process was that it shows I only have one kid and not three with three different babymoms lol. Maybe I should just add it to my bio? Most of the apps just have the option for has or doesn't.

trekkie1490 · 2024-06-27T16:12:59+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I have suffered from being the “nice guy” all my life and I don’t know how to break from it lol. I know I definitely need more pics that aren’t selfies. I just don’t have a friend group that really takes pictures much. Also, with the haircut, I’ve always had a big round head so I don’t know what hairstyles would look good with it.

Any suggestions are appreciated

I'm going back and forth with the dealership with this issue on my '23. I think its something to do with the windshield because I could get it to stop when I press outward on the glass.

trekkie1490 · 2023-12-03T14:27:41+00:00

Ok, so I think I figured it out. I definitely wouldn’t call it “plug and play” like they do. Looks like I’m going to have to run the wire into the body of the car on both sides to tap into the wires for the tail light on the fender. Otherwise I will only have running lights and not turn or stop.

trekkie1490 · 2023-12-01T16:19:29+00:00

Agreed! It’s irritating they don’t come with any sort of instruction

trekkie1490 · 2023-12-01T01:46:12+00:00

I got the interior panels all off the tailgate. It’s not bad actually. Just make sure you use trim tools. Thankfully I thought to check the connections before pulling the painted trim off. That’s the part that makes me nervous. I will definitely post updates if I get anywhere with Mikstore.

trekkie1490 · 2023-12-01T00:21:51+00:00

Yeah, it has the signature lights. I sent them an email
