I like this one menswear event in NYC... I'm trying to go to more shabbat dinners in the city with strangers... I'm... uh, I'm still swiping on hinge for some stupid reason, I get like one date off hinge in a year, it's so very pointless.
i’ve met like
a fair few people who have ended up becoming some of my best friends from hinge
and a couple really cool people i‘m seeing
has worked really well in every city i’ve lived in, i feel like it’s more queer than other apps? and it promotes actually reading people’s 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
Idk unfortunately this is the world dating apps can be good bad or meh really it’s 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 “most compatible” suggestion it gives you is meant to make you reevaluate Every decision that has lead you to that moment
I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit. I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.
for a while, when I wanted something expensive, I would think to myself, "oh, let me just look for a cheaper version of it." I end up settling for something that isn't good in any of the ways that made me want the expensive version. Throw that out. You can get fantastic pieces for cheap, you can thrift a wardrobe you love, but if you're trying to find a cheap copy of something expensive, it's not going to work.
