As someone who’s put their IG handle in their hinge profile, yes, please just slide in the DM. I put it there because I was traveling a lot or really wasn’t checking the app often. I appreciate the straight forward approach. Leave out the horoscope part and make sure your IG is public, because she’s going to want to see pics before she accepts and she doesn’t want to have to follow you to do it lol
Shoot your shot
The 1st rule to sliding in Dms is be attractive. Hot guys can just say hey and it would be considered sexxy but an ugly dude can write a novel and still be considered crippy
Or worst, they will totally block you! Haha. I know what you mean. Lol
Maybe leave the horoscope out and just say the rest. Hey saw your ig on hinge, drinks this wk?

I was going say that! The horoscope thing is TMI 😂

I would lose the horoscope part, sounds like you’re trying too hard. Otherwise, go for it!
Instead of horoscope say something in the line of “ came across your profile on hinge, and today I feel I should do something out of the ordinary…” makes you sound more brave and adventurous 😉
Just swipe. If they’re interested, they’d swipe on you. If they didn’t swipe, they’re not interested so don’t DM. That’s so cringe, IMO.

I have a 100% success rate by sliding into DMs
…if by “success”, you mean that they have never, not once, actually responded to it.
I kinda like the horoscope bit. But to each their own. Good luck!🍀
Pretty sure OP was being tongue-in-cheek about the “my horoscope” part and had zero intention of actually including that in the message.
Or, he meant exactly what he said.
How good is your ig? Are you attractive-ish/ take care of yourself and normal, like have friends and non serial killer type profile? If the answer is yes, this could work. If you’re not sure, the answer could be no. I also would leave out the drinks part- just say hi first
Most people who put their insta on dating apps are just looking for followers, not actual dating/relationships. And as a woman, I think the above is a fine intro as it's not creepy as some of the DMs we get lol. so I say give it a try, but don't expect a huge response rate.
Lol I never follow. If a person dares to list their IG on their profile, it better be public!
