I’m not really one to “slide into someone’s DM’s” but sometimes I do see women leave their insta handle on hinge and I am tempted to … I just feel like it’s so cringe. I’m pretty straightforward and don’t do small talk on dating apps… so I was thinking about something like
“hey, came across your profile on hinge, my horoscope today said I should do something out of the ordinary & I’d get rewarded, so I’m not one to DM slide…but here it goes.. drinks this week?”

What do you guys think?

I’d expect them to be unresponsive just like they are on the dating apps. Feel like they just have their handles there to boost their follower counts and don’t really have dating intentions.

If you're gonna try just skip to "drinks this week?"

Women usually leave their insta on Hinge because guys will follow them. Some get hundreds of new followers a week this way, I've been told.

Being direct and to the point is the way to go if you do decide to DM... And certainly don't use the horoscope crap - as C1 said, just skip to "drinks this week?"

Tips on how to deal with my direct report, the CMO, that won't honor the bonus structure in my offer letter?

Not sure who else in the company is involved/aware - he's my only point of contact. I'm 6 mths into the job and enjoy it, but this is a major red flag. Should I find a new job or hold my ground and see what happens?

Ok so do dating apps categorize your options based on how you look because I’m starting to think I’m not as attractive as I’ve been led to believe or thought? 😅
