    Ahh, Hinge: the app for people that are too sophisticated for Tinder, but still superficial enough that their profiles are 90% photos.

      It’s funny (read: it shits me to tears) how people will go on a conversation starter-based dating app and then just wordlessly like my pics anyway and expect me to dig around in their totally uninformative profile for something to talk about.

      I mean if you’re measuring by number of pixels on the screen, I guess

      in my experience, hinge profiles are decently filled out

        Oh yeah, with thrilling autobiographies such as:

        For fun I like to: Walk my dog in the park!

        And

        2 Truths and a Lie:

        • I spent the night in jail
        • I’ve never broken a bone
        • I once met <B-list celebrity>

          ugh that second example is on point. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a good response to that prompt. maybe one, but I don’t remember it.

          like I’m not going to claim that my profile is amazing, but at least I do try to describe myself using it

          and… yeah… like that’s often where people go to walk dogs, thanks for sharing, I had no clue. I guess I’m glad you enjoy it? I usually hate walking my dogs lol, they’re terrible when taken together and worse in a group. one wants to stop and sniff everything and the other only wants to get wherever we’re going faster. it’s not a good combination to walk at the same time lmao. perfectly fine enough individually, but there’s not always time for that.

      The stats on people’s hinge profile are often more attractive than their actual prompts.

      Stats: 32, Bank Manager, Non Smoker, Some HCOL Area

      The prompts: Must love dogs
