iāve met like
a fair few people who have ended up becoming some of my best friends from hinge
and a couple really cool people iām seeing
has worked really well in every city iāve lived in, i feel like itās more queer than other apps? and it promotes actually reading peopleās profiles more rather than just going off first photo
but at its core apps are just a way to meet people because day to day has gotten so desocialised esp in london
itās all about time, luck, and making a profile thatās treads the line of seductive and off-putting - be hot and put your idiosyncrasies on show in a way that is guaranteed to put some ppl off and draw the right ppl in..this broke the cycle of boring matches and dead convos for me.
when I matched with my now bf he said my hinge reminded him of a tumblr profile <333 he got it
the thing about hinge as well is that basically every single person looking to date in London is on it so itās just a matter of time
ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
without knowing you at all, iāll just say i think the key to dating is to just do it however feels right for you and have 0 intention or expectation or anything until you get to know the person/people youāre seeing. hinge has been great for me but canāt fault anyone that doesnāt fuck with apps
people in london have mostly been really cool once they open up in my experience if they werenāt immediately (tbf iāve basically only been going on dates with queer women or femme presenting nonbinary people since iāve been here)
Idk unfortunately this is the world dating apps can be good bad or meh really itās just such a mixed bag and access to people you may never organically interact with otherwise which I find actually nice
But hinge is specifically cursed like the required and very limited prompts are horrible every added feature is worst then the last and I truly think the āmost compatibleā suggestion it gives you is meant to make you reevaluate Every decision that has lead you to that moment
leaves you susceptible to dating someone for too long because they play a role rather than it being about who they are. if you go in open to every situation, it will play out as its supposed to naturally (sometimes with a little nudge)
go drink some right now
itās good for your body and skin and has magical healing properties when consumed at the right times. currently itās helping me beat a hangover
