Hinge advice - I (30F) match with descent number of ppl but then most guys don’t initiate the convo. Is this a SF thing or am I doing something wrong? I used to just initiate convo myself, but then in those cases usually don’t get replies. Any tips?

Not a SF thing and there's nothing wrong with you initiating the convo. When you don't get replies, move on. Unfortunately there's no magic answer, but to keep trying until you connect with decent ones who's serious about it.

Haha look at that! Matchmaking here ;)

Hey props to you for initiating. Maybe try out bumble?

like

Yes! Just started bumble. Hopefully the pool doesn’t overlap too much

32M here and I have the same experience with Women in SF. Personally I think it’s hard to nail a good conversation topic based on just the profile information and no visual feedback to learn about how a person’s body language is responding to your approach. My advice is to meet up with them as quickly as possible at a coffee place or something. As a bonus you get to also see if they cat fished you with a pre-COVID picture and generally verify physical attraction exists 😅

Interesting… so we have that problem on both sides! Yeah its hard to communicate on these apps. agreed that it’s better to meet up as quickly as possible. Def not interested in finding a penpal

People in the Bay Area have very big egos ..forget about dating, people are not even looking to make friends with you if you don’t have anything ‘substantial’ to offer.

Yeah I am F too. Will DM you :)

Hot or not

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive.
