PSA: I’ve been back on the apps for 7 weeks now and guys here’s some of what’s wrong with your profiles:
-First pic is group pic or one we can’t clearly see your face (e.g. hat, glasses, not facing cam)
-Prioritizing what you’re doing or where you are in the photo over whether it’s a good pic
-A pic that looks like it’s with a gf without a note that it’s your sister, etc.
-You don’t take time to answer the prompts/complete basic info
-A pic you’re not even in (e.g. landscape, pet, or project)

Ehh, many women's profiles have the same problems. Agree it can be frustrating and/or a turnoff though.

Understand completely. Only seeing women's profiles I wouldn't know about men's either lol (I only recently learned fish-holding pics were a thing). But yeah totally agree in principle about rationing Likes and making pics a good representation of appearance.

I have seen women do the middle finger thing also in the past . Huge turnoff

Nothing shocks me anymore

A pic with a woman is an immediate left swipe for me. Same with shirtless selfie lying in your bed.

I am not on the apps but plan on going on in the near future . Thanks for the heads up op. Grateful M here

😂 Another is showing the middle finger while directly looking at the 📷… so you’re flipping off any woman who may be interested before even saying hello? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Op great notes. For those who want to succeed on apps, I take profile pics for Bumble and Hinge so you can get the matches you deserve.

The people on dating apps getting matches all the time are taking professional pictures.

Dm me if you want to be a winner.

This is why I’m reluctant to get back on the apps

Feeling a deep void in close human connection after letting go a relationship that was lacking a future (I was interested in something more, he was unsure). Can’t stop thinking of reaching out and need strength to just stay with the loneliness and have hope for the better times. Would appreciate support. It’s been 2 weeks but I feel bouts of extreme sadness and desire to have someone to share my life and days with.

I feel like working from home has been the death of my dating life. I used to at least go on 4 dates a month, and I was casually seeing a guy for a while.

Has anyone actually found love at work? My best friend started at a new company 6 months ago and she just took an offer somewhere else because she and her senior manager fell for each other. After 6 months she knew it was worth leaving her job for!

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.
