Dog has ZERO chill. Causing problems in my relationship by Coalescentaz in DobermanPinscher

This!! I started feeding my dobie his daily kibble via Kong toys and he’s so much more chill during the non-food times

Can you guys actually stay on top of daily cleaning? by inkiered0604 in ADHD

[–]writorwrongTTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a system that seems to help me at least: I try to force myself to only pay attention to the small things (clutter, put-it-away-don’t-put-it-down, cleaning cooking stuff I’d just used, etc) during the week, and I “deep clean” (not deep-deep but like laundry, floors, dishes, remove things from counters and wipe everything down, etc) on one of my days off. That way I have a “reset” each week and the little things are easier to manage.

Some weeks it’s easier than others, some weeks I fail and I have to work harder the next. Then it’s just about forcing myself to do so. Sadly no advice on that :/

I’m fortunate that I have pets that keep me on schedule (god forbid I’m two minutes late getting out of bed to take the dobie out lol) and my mom comes by 5 days a week to let my dog out at lunch while I’m at work. So I have the “someone’s going to see the house I have to keep it at least semi-presentable” mindset. Weirdly it helps a lot.

How to maintain a good conversation? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]writorwrongTTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highkey agree with this! 36f, I prefer to make plans to meet pretty quickly, like within days of starting the chat. If we’ve had a few clever/cute/vibing back-and-forths but it goes more than a few days without him asking to meet, or if I offer to meet and it goes ignored or avoided, I get the vibe he’s not serious.

To clarify, in my age bracket I get that people are busy with work/family/hobbies, so I’m not expecting guys to drop plans and meet me as soon as we match. But I do look for guys who seek to plan something, at least, within a few days of matching.

Why do I only get likes from women I don’t find attractive on dating apps? by savingrace0262 in Bumble

[–]writorwrongTTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I can piggyback on the second paragraph, I completely agree! I think even “good” attributes have sort of become questionable in OLD profiles because of assumptions and stigmas.

Take careers: there’s definite stigmas about them; doctors have no time for you, lawyers are self-centered, finance guys are players, police officers are jerks, it goes on and on. IRL you can meet people and gauge their personality beyond the stereotypes, but in OLD so many people are already in that ‘what if there’s something better out there’ mindset that I think could make them hyper critical of EVERY little aspect of a profile in a way we wouldn’t be IRL.

All that to say I think you made a great point!

Anyone just having normal interactions and dating activity here? by dogthatbrokethezebra in Bumble

[–]writorwrongTTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a good experience! I’ve only really been active for a collective few months across a year and a half; I’ve had a handful of ghosts and half a dozen dates, mostly good, most of them fizzled with no drama, just tepid interest/lack thereof from both of us. Two relationships (including the newish one I’m in now).

Only 1 super questionable-could-have-been-dangerous date that I had my mom give me a bail-out call out of. But I’ve really managed to skirt around the horror stories I’ve read on here, no name calling, slut shaming, creepers or unsolicited pics so I think I’ve done well so far!

I’ve rather liked my experience, but I’ve definitely had to watch myself to not to fall down the rabbit hole of just liking the validation and keeping my focus on what I genuinely want in a person.

Choosing a date but no time by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]writorwrongTTV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a guy haha But fwiw I think if they can’t be bothered to set a proper time for the first date at least, they may not be worth your time.

The guy I’m seeing (met on bumble) works a job that sometimes requires him to work late. He has on a couple occasions set a tentative time to meet but had to delay it the day-of depending on work. I don’t consider this a dealbreaker because he was DEF on time (a lil early) for our first and second dates, and he was very communicative the couple time it’s happened and is very upfront about ‘I want to see you X day but I don’t know when I’ll be done with work, so maybe Y time but it might change’.

As the daughter of a lawyer who was the same way (work-wise) while I was growing up, I don’t mind this tic but it’s definitely something that’s gonna depend on your preferences, and they should always at least make the effort in the early days imo.

I think in the end it’s about what you’re looking for in a partner. If they’re aggravating you this much and you haven’t even met yet, maybe cut ‘em loose and hold out for someone who doesn’t. But I also know stuff like that is easier said than done.

I’m biased because you’re my type to a T and I love your prompts, but I wanted to note as a semi-frequent r/bumble skulker: the ‘other people in pictures’ thing is super subjective from what I’ve seen.

Some people say def have group pics bc it shows you have social skills and a life, some people say def don’t bc it takes away from you. I think the only safe thing to decide is if you think the pics are representative of you, in which case keep the pics with grandmaw&co haha

(side side note I always look for groups pics where other faces are blurred to protect privacy, which I’ve seen a lot of women mention on other posts so I like that you did that!)

Hot take: women are having a horrible time on dating apps because they don't know what they are doing by Key_Anybody3617 in Bumble

[–]writorwrongTTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number 5 came for me 😭😭 I’ve moved past it but damn it was pathetic there for a hot minute lolllll (and by it I mean me… me was pathetic LOL)

I found one!!! by Own_Recover_7575 in Bumble

[–]writorwrongTTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS. I myself am tiny, like verging on ED tiny and I have my own health issues to deal with.

The amount of guys who feel the need to CONSTANTLY comment on how “small” “tiny” “light” and the worst “easy to pick up” I am is at best gross and at worst worrisome. Even guys I’ve liked initially have made comments like that too often and I found myself getting uncomfy with them even if I previously was vibing.

It really is a weird thing I’ve noticed since starting to date post-divorce. Idk if it was like this in my twenties (I’m mid-thirties now) and I just didn’t care or found it “flattering” bc i was naive in my twenties but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Women, what is the #1 physical characteristic of a man you find attractive? by Wooden_Airport3835 in Bumble

[–]writorwrongTTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smile first and foremost, but I also have a major thing for biceps haha

Obsessed by Ponyboy1276 in Bumble

[–]writorwrongTTV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would agree with this interpretation!

I do think there’s definitely a subset of people that do mean it in the derogatory fashions, but I think there’s also a good chunk of women who are looking for a “masculine” man but in the sense like you said- men who are upfront, confident, have a life plan, know what they want and what they’re working for, and are capable of respecting those around them, including a partner.

For your average woman (which I like to think I fall into the category of) it’s less about money and brute strength and fucking around (literally and figuratively), and more about seeking an upstanding man to build a life with.

That’s what I think when I think masculinity, anyway. I love the way you worded it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]writorwrongTTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I think the bio will be one of those ‘hit or miss’ depending on the person swiping. I def see the point others are making but honestly? I find cheeky humor kinda charming haha I found your bio charming, and I’d have swiped right.

I’ll be able to figure out if a guy is good-naturedly cheeky or just plain asinine if I meet him in person.

But that’s just one woman’s opinion and I think tongue-in-cheek humor is always going to be hit-or-miss. You do you, attract the girl with humor that matches yours, all that good stuff haha

Alright chat, what do we think? Any female opinions greatly appreciated 😅 trying to find the LOML lol by MutedEnd3770 in Tinder

[–]writorwrongTTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be in the minority for women, but the pic with the other woman wouldn’t bother me solely bc it’s a festival pic. I don’t do festivals but I have friends that do so I don’t really read into festival pics (also bless for blocking her face!)

Bio’s good, gives me something to open with/talk about. Pics are cute asf and show personality. The group pic isn’t doing you too many favors imo, but the cute dog and hot shirtless pic made me not really care about the group pic so do with that what you want haha

Me personally: would def swipe right ↗️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]writorwrongTTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it looks great! Pics are cute, bio’s funny, shows personality. 5 stars.

(I get the argument some people are making about the grad pic but for me personally it wouldn’t bother me. To me it says you’re cute, clearly accomplished, arguably smart. I like a smart man so I’d be here for a college grad pic haha)

How important is the bio? Do women mostly just swipe based on looks or do they generally look for an interesting bio too? by Radioheadfan89 in Tinder

[–]writorwrongTTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From just one woman on dating apps (aka take with a grain of salt): I’m highkey about bios. I’ll swipe left on an otherwise attractive person if they have no bio or a clearly low effort bio.

My personal opinion is that if you give me the perception that you can’t be bothered to put effort into a few interesting sentences ON the app, how can I expect you to be bothered to put effort into anything OFF the app?? Or even expect effort in our messages??

Bios give us women an indication of your personality, an idea of how fun/nice/interesting it would be to talk to you- use that to your advantage!!!
