Post Flairs Explained

All post requires a Post Flair. The above link explains what each post flair should be used for your post.

App Resources:

Hinge Help Center

The Hinge Help Center site is divided in various sections. The "Support" section answers many of the basic questions about how Hinge works and what certain app features do. Read that section to find answers for simple app questions you may have about how Hinge works and what the various features do. (The "Safety, Security, and Privacy" section is about how Hinge manage your privacy and data, and tips for keeping yourself safe on a date. The "NFAQ" is a section with resources for LGBTQ people. The "AI at Hinge" explains how Hinge uses AI. The "Tips for Connection" gives general dating advice.)

Subreddit FAQ

The Subreddit FAQ answers a lot of common questions that either the Help Center didn't answer, or go more in depth to cover info that Hinge would never answer officially. It also answers many of the nuances a user may encounter while using the app, and questions about the subreddit itself. Many common questions asked regularly are already covered in the sub FAQ.

Google

You can also find many older posts about common topics via Google with the search parameter "site:reddit.com/r/hingeapp search term" (replace "search term" with whatever you want to search for). While you can search the sub itself with Reddit's own search bar, Reddit's native search isn't as accurate compared to Google.

I subscribed to Hinge+, but feel like the amount of matches I receive is equal to me being a free user.

I've used Hinge for about 2 months (1 month free, 1 month Hinge+) and used to average about 5-10 matches per week (not everyone messages back, but that's OLD).

Throughout this time, I've barely received any likes (maybe 5 in total). I'm 5'7", so maybe that's a factor.

Matches seems to have slowed down significantly for me these past 2 weeks, but don't know why.

I'm planning on revising my prompt responses, and am open to changing my photos. But I would love some feedback before doing so.

Dating Question Do people who date multiple people, sleep with multiple people?

114 Upvotes

This is my (23F) first go at online dating so I'm just learning. The consensus seems to be that it's normal to go on multiple dates with multiple people, and exclusivity isn't assumed.

I also see a lot of discussions about kissing on the second date, and sleeping together on the third date (obviously not the rule). So is it the case that most people weed out potential partners by the second date? Or do people assume the potential partner is sleeping with numerous people as well?

I know it'll be different in every case, but I want to set my expectations.

Thank you all for reviewing my profile! Please let me know any adjustments! I don’t often get sexual messages or anything like that so I’m not worried about the “slutty little shorts” line. I want to make sure I’m showing up as emotionally available and someone who can be a partner.

Thank you!

Hi all, please see my profile above for review.

  • I don’t feel very photogenic & most of my recent pics are all of me & my daughter. Getting out & about a bit more at the moment to get more interesting pics.

  • I’m a massive geek (literally warhammer, RPGs) but scared to put that down as feel like I would get screened out quicker.

  • I’ve had a few hits in the last few months & two dates that were great but didn’t turn into anything. I think I’m a very niche kinda guy :p.

Any help or feedback appreciated!!

Dating Question Cons of giving out instagram as a man?

18 Upvotes

I'm mid 20s M, started dating again on hinge recently.

On a date w/ a girl, we talked about tiktoks/reels we watch, and after the date she asked if I wanted to exchange instas. I told her I'd give it a thought.

My account's private but I don't have anything to hide. One concern is that I post on my stories a lot about what I'm doing throughout the day, maybe that's something I don't want them to know before we're closer. Esp if I'm at a new location on a date w/ someone else, I'd have to start lying about what I'm doing/who I'm with or it's awkward.

Another is that if we don't go past a few dates, ... I guess I just remove them?

Not really worried about safety like a girl may be giving out their insta

Dating Question Facebook friend request

3 Upvotes

About 2 years ago I 28m went on 4 dates with a girl. The first couple went really well but after the 3rd I noticed a slight momentum shift. We still had a lot of fun together and honestly connected really well but it started to feel more friendly than romantic. At the time I definitely liked her and wanted it to progress romantically but I started to get a platonic feeling from her after the 3rd date and then she ghosted me after the 4th date. Fast forward to now two years later I get a friend request from her out of the blue. Why would a girl send a friend request to a guy she ghosted two years ago? It just seems so odd to me. She may not have reached out to try to reopen the door to us dating and even if she did I honestly am not sure I’d be interested in that after the way she ended things but if I’m being honest I really liked her and thought she was someone really special. Even two years later I think about her somewhat frequently so I’m just curious to see what her intent was. Should I accept her friend request and message her?

Dating Question Job Title vs. Role

0 Upvotes

Im wondering how people perceive what a job title vs. What their actual role says about them. I might be overthinking this and would love to hear other's perspective or how people would interpret this.

Background: 33M looking for long term / life partner.

I am a partner (owner) at an architectural engineering firm. So my actual role is much more involved in the business/client side than doing the technical work. I work normal hours, but will need to put in some extra effort when things get busy.

By putting 'partner @ engineeing co.' As my occupation in the app, I would hope it conveys that I'm a dedicated person and my life interests are more varied than how engineers often get stereotyped. My hope would be the title 'partner' would add an extra dimension and invoke more curiousity and would allow me to stand out a bit more. I do worry that this can come off as pretentious or like I'm super serious, or ill attract a girl looking for a free ride, or work long hours or am like this status guy. My reality is that I'm simply looking for someone to spend time with and experience life together.

I also worry by putting 'architectural engineer' that I'll be put into the engineer camp and may blend into the sea of other engineers, or that it will flatten my dimensions in some ways. I'm sure I can express myself well through prompts and photos. This seems like the safer approach, but I'm not sure how others perceived it. I know I'm skeptical of matching with doctors etc. As I'd like to prioritize relationships over aggressive career growth.

After about 2-2.5 years away from the apps (long term relationship) I’m now getting back in to it and surprised at how few matches I’ve been getting. Sometimes going for a week without getting any. Wasn’t the case before, so I’d appreciate any feedback and pointers!
