I have my height listed as 5'8 on Hinge and typically have more conversations than I care to keep up with

If you were 6'2 you would have more room for conversations.

I just hate sinking a lot of money into something that is a lost cause. I did send the photos I took yesterday to the only female I know (she lives in Cali) and she thought they looked really good. I look significantly better in the photos than I do in real life so if they don't do the trick there is probably not much hope.

Regarding the 3 text portions of my hinge profile (3 answers) I'd say they should be acceptable but perhaps I'm wrong. They are pretty good for me IMO, since I'm a pretty boring person IRL. Way better than the answers I've seen on many of the women's profiles. Wow, people would be surprised to know that you wanted to be a comedian when you were a kid...WHO GIVES A ****?!

I could lie up my height like that but I'm a pretty upfront and honest person and am not really looking to compromise that in order to find love. I'd be willing to hide my height simply because I believe that some of the women that will naturally swipe left on guys 5'6" or lower would actually be willing to date one after becoming acquainted..especially with females 5'2" or shorter. Obviously if she is 5'4" or 5'5" she'll want someone a lot taller than 5'6"

That being said, it's hard to get likes when you are short but it's doubly hard when you are short and ugly and there's not much I can do about that other than trying to present myself in the best light possible and see if anyone decent swipes right on me.

I don't think M or F should put their height regardless, but esc if they're short. you shoudl up and even if they think meh at first you have a great chance to still close whatever deal you want done since they met up with you in the first part, you got most of it done, just cant be 400lbs overweight

Height is a requirement on hinge. That's one reason I'm looking to try a different app.

Now hinge tells me I should meet some christian white lady who is 4 years older than me, 4 inches taller than me and like most women that age looks twice my age. Clearly Hinge has terrible algorithms if they think either of us would be interested in one another.

Hinge algo = you two spend a similar amount of time on the app

"Dating me is like hitting the lottery" has got to be one of the most pretentious self-centered things someone can write on a profile and it doesn't give the reader any real information about the person and yet a ton of these women have this answer on their profile.

Good thought. I figured we were both only receiving dislikes and we both paid for the app so they said: "What the hell, maybe we can kill two birds with one stone"

Oh, you haven't seen "if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" evidently.

Honestly DC you sound like you just need to focus on the real world interactions.

Some of us aren't made for the internet.

I'm getting low hanging fruit way more irl than i ever did online.

Granted, its not optimum, but im also not putting in a lot of effort.

Especially compared to trying to reply to someone online that I'm interested in.

I've even met a couple that i saw online that wouldn't respond, but they showed interest when i approached them in real life.

Kinda was a downer,tbh.I made them much more interesting in my mind due to the profile.

And one that when i approached her, chatted up a little and then mentioned i saw her profile online, she denied it, got kinda upset and it went downhill from there.

But anyway, just a thought.

Thanks for the advice. For now I'm going to stick to the online dating thing as I don't have interest in partaking in real world interactions. I'm pretty terrible in social situations really. Most of the time I hit it off with guys pretty well (at least until they get to know me) but women generally won't want anything to do with me from pretty much the start (unless there is money involved of course). It's been that way as long as I can remember (at least since I was like 7 to 9 years old).

I've heard a lot of women complain that the "I saw you on bumble/hinge/tinder" line creeps them out

Think about that.

I saw you somewhere else....

Get away from me, stalker!

She's not wrong. Most lottery winners end up broke.

I was recently told that viewing someone's Instagram stories is "stalking"

Sounds about right

Started using Bumble yesterday. Sucks since I paid money for Hinge but it was a move I had to make as virtually all the women on hinge were undateable and the pool of women was quite small.

So far tons of hot chicks on Bumble. That's probably thei algorithms sending me hot chicks since I just signed up with the site. I have 19 bees in my beeline. That number has been fluctuating between 15 and 19. I'm assuming they are bots or Instagram models. I received one match yesterday but she hasn't contacted me yet. I've already used my daily extend on her, so 23 hrs left. I don't actually expect her to contact me.

That girl is a 40 year old Chinese medical researcher (PhD). She's cute rather than hot. None of this is ideal, but beggars can't be choosers. Would be insane if I actually got a date under my belt from Bumble (not expecting one).

There was a lot that I liked about Bumble. But it is absolutely true that the app always showed you the hottest girls first.

DC, the negativity is palpable.

Work on that, seriously.

the 1900s are ancient?

how did this thread end up filled with incels

So what do you call what all those girls you were “dating” on seekingarrangment were doing?

Then I'd highly recommend getting out of LA, and off SA. Super serious.



Just for you shuffle

I’d think of it more as replicating your soul rather than stealing it. After your physical body is long gone, these photos will still be on the web somewhere.

I kind of get it. I don't get on Instagram much, but I was scrolling through my buddy's last night and did a little rabbit holing just to see what's up. It's all pretty soulless and fake. Girls getting the perfect pose, in the perfect light, from the perfect angle, pictures of the most mundane **** receiving otherworldly praise, people presenting a reality that is pure fantasy.

My friends Instagram is amazing. Great pictures in great places, really interesting ****, totally looks like a baller.

Definitely has 500k in debt and is about to take a residency in nowhere North Carolina because nowhere else will take his Trainwreck ass.

I've always been a bit cynical, but when I see all of this perpetuated, it's a bit disheartening for what people actually value

Incels on a poker forum? Who woulda thunk it!
