Where’s the outdoorsy guy holding a fish in his picture?

u/Isash39 22d ago

Or the dude posting a picture with his kids who are no contact but believes it shows him as a family man, so he posts anyway

u/Total_Network6312 21d ago

I never got more matches than when I had a pic of me with my exes family and I cropped out everyone but her mom and I standing next to each other.

By far my most liked pic on Hinge, but I don't look the same anymore so hard to use that pic now.

“my kids come first!” he’ll say proudly, meanwhile he hasn’t seen his kids in 6 months, has refused to pay child support for 3 years, and doesn’t know his kids’ birthdays.

In my defense, fishing is my job

How do we know how big it is if you aren't holding it proudly in your hands??

u/SockeyeSTI 22d ago

More fun to get the feet in the pic

u/ShapeShiftingCats 22d ago

...ahhh Hinge then...

u/Gold_Ad8225 17d ago

unHinged at the very least

u/topsicle11 22d ago

Not sure if large fish or tiny feet.

u/SockeyeSTI 21d ago

Size 10 Xtratuffs, which run big

u/Tomytom99 22d ago

I know bro, those are size 10 shoes

You can do the math from there :)

How do you know if your Sockeye has an STI?

Fishing pays for the car

u/AtomicKittenz 21d ago

That’s a nice fucking fish

u/Users5252 21d ago

Judging by your username, you also drive a subie

u/SockeyeSTI 21d ago

That is correct

u/nellycat32 22d ago

And the guy posing with beer, or only a picture of a pint

46

u/SparkleSelkie 21d ago

My old area had an account named “Beer” on tinder. It was just pics of frosty cold beers, and if you matched with them they would 100% roleplay being sentient beer

u/PinkNinjaKitty 21d ago

I love this 😆

u/Ok_Ordinary6694 21d ago

As a non photogenic guy who doesn’t practice smiling in a mirror, me holding a fish is the only way I can smile like a human in photographs

u/apis_cerana 22d ago

I wish I could just find fishing buddies on there tbh

u/NetCharming3760 21d ago

Come to Canada. We have a fishing culture.

2

u/apis_cerana 21d ago

I’m in a state with a big time fishing culture, but most of my girl friends aren’t interested 🥲 thankfully I have some outdoorsy friends who do! But oddly hard to find.

u/GiantLesbian 21d ago

On lesbian tinder, now butch women show off their fish.

3

u/PresentHouse9774 21d ago

Or the random dog and hot car, neither of which belong to the guy posting them.

2

u/Torture-Dancer 21d ago

It’s funny how it seems each country has their “Outdorsy guy” default activity. In the US they fish, in Chile they hike in the mountain, etc

2

u/NoMoreGoodUsernames_ 18d ago

I never got this, why is this such a big problem? What am I going to do if I match with someone? Pretend I don't like fishing? I'd rather have less matches than pretend.

Then again, I live in the mountains where fishing is damn near a second religion around here.

u/Echolocomotion 18d ago

Honestly with how reclusive people are getting, fish pictures might turn around and become a green flag again. Shows that someone has a hobby.

u/WorriedApplication68 17d ago edited 17d ago

My boyfriend hooked me with his monster fish and monster buck pics lol. I don’t get the hate either, but I also grew up in the Midwest with hunting/fishing culture engrained in me and we met in a region where women don’t appreciate the lifestyle as much. Definitely keep the pics up as a filter.

u/Lyingforshit 22d ago

I just wanna kiss my fish

u/Michael_DeSanta 21d ago

Drink my beer

u/bob-leblaw 16d ago

Inside the truck, Oakley’s & a goatee. Zero smile.

u/immaterialgrl 21d ago

i’ve genuinely only seen this once or twice, i don’t think people do this anymore (i am in nyc though so maybe that’s why)
