One thing you cats gotta realize. Less is more with women. Women use to complain about their husbands ,bfs and their first complaint "He doesnt talk much" " hes not talkative" but their ass still loves him. I dont know if yall remember the show The Wonder Years. Kevin's dad didnt say much but the kids respected and feared him and his wife never gave him any shyt. Getting the # ,these apps texting back and forth doesnt do anything. Face to face always wins.If a woman doesnt ask you ? dont volunteer.Women will ask you about your job,your day if they like you. Women are the ultimate reporters. We ones who suppose to give 1 word answers yo them. Less is always more with women.

Is it me or did Hinge go down in quality. Used to be a lot of responsive woman who had a good head on their shoulders but now it's a little harder to get matches and they not as responsive. I still get matches and good convos but a lot go ghost or fizzle out on me.

Yeah like all good apps this is what happens after a while. When hinge first was around if you had alot of matches early on they gave you that trial prefered membership for free, there were no stupid roses and all that. Now extremely attractive women are behind those roses.

Match Group bought them out.

Like Tinder, Hinge had it's golden age when it was the new shiny toy. The creators were operating at a loss to draw in the crowds and get them hooked. Now that the user base has reached critical mass, the investors want their ROI. Hence, why you see shyt like Roses, Boosts, and the new premium subscription as the owners try to bring in revenue.

The demand for revenue doesn't really match with the mission though, as a person who finds their future significant other is a lost customer. So it's better to keep people in a loop where you provide them the solution to a manufactured problem.

It's also just the timeline of an app as well. New apps come, they are in the zeitgeist for a while, the novelty wears off, and people move on to the next big thing.

im also 32 so I assume a bit of the issues with dating is wanting to have a certain status and upholding it at a certain age, regardless of the circumstance or how you go about it.

Like sure, in reality it would be great to fukk a bunch of hoes year after year and be a lone wolf :obama:

but a lot more social circles steer towards having a plus one as you get older. I’m not saying you get forced into coupling but the whole idea of you showing up alone to a baby shower, wedding, proposal, birthday etc, might get a bit more depressing or envious for some.

For example, My homie and his bro are having kids soon and every time I show up to a gathering lately it’s becoming more like a flippin daycare now :mjlol:

I absolutely wanna have kids and worry sometimes but some dudes might become a bit more pressured to do the same.
Same age and this is the truth about the couples thing.

Not gonna lie, that smashing and having random chicks round is getting old, but isn't if that makes sense.

I feel you.As you get older,hair turns gray. Sometimes you want peace of mind. Dont get me wrong sex has its advantages but its alot of stuff out there. Every woman is a situation all around. We all have to ask ourself outside of instant sex how is this helping us? With women we shouldnt even care they come they go.

I'm trying to do something different than either of those two options, with mixed results

I approach a "serious/monogamous relationship" like a gambler, essentially, like a factored in result, the more I spend with more people, the closer we get, the more likelihood the possibility exists I will end up there, and I'll try to manage it the best I can, my feelings, hers, what we both want, whatever.

but I also really am not that interested in one. What I have zeroed in the last few years, in a single word, is domesticity. I have extremely limited tolerance for it, and that comes with almost all the above. Because, in my thinking, we are all patterning our view of relationships with marriage, and in a lot of ways with marriages of the last 50 years or so.

so I'm trying to have real friendships and relationships, and date, and have sex, without much of that kind of commitment, and being mostly honest about it. Theres a convo from a book I like, (In The Cut, it's almost like erotic fiction) where a man essentially tells a woman, "Here's what I can do for you:....". It's a harder sell than I thought it would be. I'm not really interested in app hookups or spending all night in a club to have some awkward sex at 5:00 AM. I don't want to commit much more than one or two nights a week, to any of this, don't want to be messaging on apps, scrolling a blur of photos.

Wow no wonder, I did not know that but it makes total sense. The premium subscription shyt definitely fukked things up. I get their need for profit now that they have been bought out and I get the perspective that the new owners want to make money and want the app to be profitable. However that goes against their original mission which is funny, their original tag line was the app made to be deleted. They wanted to help people find true connections and seemed to be good at that but now that seems to be the case less and less. The algorithim is trash and with popularity a lot of the hood boogers and undesirables who aren't as serious about dating joined the app as well.

With that said what do you think the best new app is right now/the next big thing?

Something so awkward happaned today

@Ohene @Serious

So I went to Starbucks to meet the chick.

Some other chick was there waiting for a guy and she thought j was her date and I thought I was hers. We talked for like five min and then she said the name Kevin I'm like that's not my name.

Because I was literally just talking to this chick for a day I just saw lightskin and she was lightskin and I thought it was her

Awkward as hell I left to find my date and she was like oops this is awkard

Then I met the other chick and she's like i saw you talking to some other girl and j was like yeah just ran into a old friend.

I thought the date went well at the end she gave me hug and said she had a nice time and we said bye.

By the time I get to my car and check hinge she unmatched me :picard:

thinking of it now I don't even know how the hell did I think she was someone else and she thought I was someone else and for five minutes we are talking. She's like shes a city councillor and she was sorry she arrived late because of work. and I was likeoh wow that's cool never knew and she's like I swear I told you and I'm like oh yeah

:ehh:

I'm wondering if Kevin is my long lost twin or something

Getting unmatched right after the date though :picard:. Damn chick couldn't wait to see if I got home safe :mjlol: and then do it. Cutthroat :ehh:

Goes back to what I always say though talk to a bunch of women so you never :to: if it doesn't work.
