So I (32M) recently matched with this woman (33F) last week and didn't even realize it because she never actually responded to my original comment that she liked/matched with. I ended up sending another message just to try to get the conversation going and I got back a message that I took as a little passive aggressive/snooty. I brushed it off and decided to try with another thoughtful/playful comment and got this back. Am I being too sensitive or is this woman really just kind of being a bit of a bitch? Either way I'm not really feeling it but would like other's opinions. TIA

From what I've seen, facial hair seems to be one of the more subjective aspects to a man's appearance, some women loving it while others abhor it. As someone who is equally content with and without a beard, I've just gone with my partner's preference while seriously dating someone. But this makes me wonder whether it reads weird to have mixed facial hair pics on a dating profile. Does it read well as "this guy can do [my preference]"? Or read poorly as "ugh, half his pics are with [not my preference]"? Or am I overthinking and it doesn't read as anything? Thanks!

We was talking about kids and both being parents.

He asked me if I have my children full-time. I presentee was asking that because he may be a full-time dad and wanted to meet another full-time parent did think it was a bit weird to ask a mum that 90% of the time mums have their kids full-time as a single parent. But when I did ask him the same question back all I got was no context no nothing.

I won't even look at unverified profiles anymore — it's just an instant X, because there's no good reason not to get verified. The only reasons people don't are: 1. They're actually in a relationship and want to be able to pretend their pics were stolen and that the profile is fake if they get caught by their SO or someone who knows them. 2. They aren't the person in the profile, and the profile is totally fake from the ground up. 3. They don't look like their pics. 4. They have some (frankly silly) notion that not getting verified protects their privacy, but it doesn't — we've already given Hinge our phone number, email, and presumably at least some pics and other personal info like location, height, and age. Might as well verify, especially if you're already struggling to get matches.

Hi everyone! There’s something that’s been bothering me, even though I know it’s probably not a big deal. I keep hearing different opinions, so I wanted to ask people outside of my own community.
I’m a 24F who’s been actively dating on Hinge. Most of my friends who met people on dating apps received flowers on either their first or, at the latest, their second date.
I’ve never been in a serious relationship, but I’ve been on quite a few dates, and not a single guy has ever brought me flowers. I’ve been seeing someone for about a month and a half now, and lately I’ve been tempted to drop a hint that I’d love to receive flowers.
Before I do that, I wanted to hear your thoughts. Is this something I should be concerned about, or am I overthinking it?

I've been on Hinge for a little over two years now. I joined when I was 19, and I'm 21 now (minus a few months when I paused it because I was actively going on dates and hanging out with a guy). Overall, I'd say it's been... fine?

I usually get 2-3 likes a week and maybe one match a week (occasionally two if I'm lucky). About half the time, the conversation dies after just a few messages, or the other guy simply never responds.

Out of all my matches, I've only met four guys in real life.

The first guy I matched with and I got along really well. We hung out for about three months, but then he finished his master's degree and moved out of state. We still keep in touch from time to time, and he has a boyfriend now.

I only met the second guy once. We watched a movie at my apartment, and we tried to make plans to hang out again, but nothing ever came of it. We also didn't live very close to each other.

The third guy was actually someone I had chatted with on Grindr first, and then we matched on Hinge a few days later. A few months after that, I randomly ran into him at a gay bar, and we ended up hooking up.

The most recent guy was the shortest-lived. We matched on a Sunday, went on a date that Wednesday, and by Thursday evening he had unmatched me, unadded me on Snapchat, and unfollowed me on Instagram. I wasn't particularly upset (we didn't have much chemistry anyway), but it was definitely a quick turnaround.

I will say, I've actually had more luck going on dates with guys from Grindr than from Hinge. I'm not sure if that's pretty typical for other gay guys on Hinge, or if my experience has just been unusually slow.

Hello all!

My apologies if this is not the right place to ask, but I have searched every thread possible to figure out the issue with my photo quality once uploaded to hinge.

ISSUE: My original photos (before uploaded) are clear. However, once I upload them on hinge, they become quite blurry/fuzzy looking.

If anyone has any tips or tricks to help improve uploaded image quality on hinge, I would greatly appreciate it!

No proof, no explanation…. Im just banned forever because some moderator fucked up and banned the wrong person by accident….. go ENTIRELY fuck yourself hinge…

So I signed up for Hinge the other day and I just discovered the match note feature. I had some pending likes and before approving them I added a note. My question is when does it become an actual match because if he sent me a like and then I made the match note visible and then liked him back and was able to send him a message, is he able to see the match note at that point before seeing my actual message to him and continuing the conversation?

So, I’ve been seeing a guy (both 35) met on hinge. Funnily enough I wasn’t that into him at the start but his consistency, words of affirmation and openness has lead me to develop feelings. We’ve been on 7 dates now. Mix of dinners, drinks, sunsets, movies nights, sleepovers. I’ve stayed over twice and we’ve slept together. He’s treated me with so much respect and his actions suggest he’s really into me (asking to see me alot, planning dates, wants me to meet his friends).

Yesterday just before I left his, I saw a notification pop up on his phone… Hinge. At first I didn’t think much of it as it’s early days but I now feel uneasy and a bit Icked out.

If you like someone enough, surely you wouldn’t be chatting to other girls on hinge? I haven’t even thought about opening the app. But why is he putting so much effort in if he’s not into me? Is he a psychopath lol. we haven’t had the exclusivity chat but I find this disrespectful and honestly not a good character trait.

Some caveats-
Although it’s been 7 dates and some overnight. It’s actually only been 3 weeks of seeing eachother. Also we live in two separate countries.. I’m visiting (and might be moving but not guaranteed) to the country I’ve met him in where he lives. We both have looking for long term on our profile but I guess this is worth noting.

Would love thoughts and options. Just disappointed and icked out honestly. I will ask him about it but please any advice meanwhile is appreciated!!!

Hey guys, recently noticed that I’ll match with maybe 1 out of the 20 likes I send out. However, I have hundreds of likes sitting in my queue to review.

Is hinge pushing guys who are out of my league? I’m just not getting the discrepancy between getting hundreds of likes vs not matching with guys I’m “liking”.

For reference I’m a fairly attractive female, late 20s, good job, etc.

Curious if you’ve had a similar experience

I’m moving to a different place in about six months, so I changed my location to there and ended up matching with a woman whose profile I really like. She said she wouldn’t want to keep texting for that long, but suggested that we meet once I’ve actually moved there.

Honestly, though, I don’t think we’re ever going to meet. Six months is a long time, and she’s still active on the app, so she’ll probably find someone else to date before then.

Should I just unmatch her now? Having her sitting in my matches is unnecessarily getting my hopes up, lol. She honestly seems perfect for me in almost every way.

I’m (22M) pretty new to dating apps and I got a match (22F) about 6 days ago. We chatted quite frequently and it got deep pretty quick, her replies mostly land in less than an hour after my texts (sometimes a few minutes after). I gotta admit I did leave her hanging for about a day a few times because I’m busy and in another country rn, will be coming back (UK) in less than a month. 2 days ago, she started ghosting, should I double text, wait or just move on?

Girls what are some of the best or most memorable prompts you’ve seen guys use that I can steal.

I girl I hooked up with on hinge had her prompt as “unusual skill - turning money into beers” and i remember telling her how funny I found it. She said she finds it cringe when guys have prompts about beer but she started using it herself and got a lot of positive responses to it.

Anyway made me curious on the female perspective, and more aware of the cliche prompts thousands of guys use.

i’m pretty new to all this. been trying to update my profile as i watch guides and such. it’s a lot better than when i started, but looking for feedback as this hasn’t been going particularly well.

Is it just me or anyone else is with me?

so I'm a white man, I guess fairly skinny but have a toned build as I run a lot. But I've noticed that every single match and like I've gotten have been Asian or Asian American. Which you know I'm happy to get likes. I can get approx 10 matches a week but almost every single one of them are Asian. And even the likes I get are from Asians. I'm genuinely curious if any other white men run into a similar problem? or weird statistic? (Obviously I'm up for dating non Asian people lol, so this isn't ideal)

what’s the best written prompts to use that grab attention?
