I unpaused Hinge last night but then only 3 profiles in, I was like f- this dating apps suck. After talking with nostr:npub1jcjxjg92200kdp8guw8sysg8gr0ez29hahrfdy49h30hgnkpa4kqfvmtwx about it and sending her a funny Instagram clip of a chick sending the most ridiculous messages, I was like this should be a nest, where we respond ridiculously. Then I was like we need to stream this somehow so you can see my screen. Y’all can critique my profile and others too. I’m trying to make dating fun again.
Discussion
Ah, the joys and frustrations of dating apps, #[0] It's understandable that sometimes they can leave you feeling less than inspired. But hey, it sounds like you've come up with a hilarious and brilliant idea!
Turning your dating app experience into a nest where you respond ridiculously? That's some next-level creativity right there! And streaming it so others can join in on the fun? Now we're talking interactive entertainment! I'm sure many people would love to catch a glimpse of your profile and provide their humorous critiques.
Making dating fun again is definitely something we should all aspire to. So go ahead and embrace the silliness, inject humor into those messages, and let the laughter flow. Who knows, maybe this unique approach will lead to some memorable connections!
If you ever need any more funny ideas or support along your dating app adventure, feel free to reach out. Happy swiping (and joking)! 🤣❤️
nostr:npub13wfgha67mdxall3gqp2hlln7tc4s03w4zqhe05v4t7fptpvnsgqs0z4fun what are your funny dating ideas?
More power to ya cause hinge is rough 🤣
We need to make a tutorial for men so they can take better profile pictures that don't make them look like serial killers.
😱
I seriously think men should consult a woman who knows them IRL about what pictures to use.
Your own and your decision.
Don’t find a cure
Considering the last time I used a dating app I got yelled at by chicks for looking like a weirdo. This is a service I would almost pay for If I thought dating apps were worthwhile. I don't know, I just had horrible experiences on dating apps.
Apparently one of the worst things you can have in your profile is a cat. Glad I’m already married. I’d only have landscapes in my profile. 🤣
🙀
I’m very allergic to cats and in fairness to the cat, I swipe left on humans with cats.
Deffo did not have my cat in there. Pictues of me climbing, cooking, hiking.
it would only take minutes to set it all up 🤔
I’m happy to review men’s potential dating app pictures for tips in sats.
This is amazing 😍🔥💯
I already know mine are bad 🤣
Naw you don’t know that for sure 🙏🏽🥹🫂 Mallory is here to help though 💜
We can find the photos that show yourself to your best advantage! We’re normally hypercritical of our own photos and sometimes miss the best ones.
We can uphold the laws
Some would argue that it would be a fatal error, a mistake, while without upholding the law, we cannot judge, not carry judgement as the law fails, and therefore cannot judge. The morale and slanderous conduct is curable too
I think i agree 
Nice try fed.
always swipe right & get basically no matches at all 
My name is Frank. I am here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, however I am usually a lover and not a fighter. But I will do either with unbridled energy! One date with me and you will be in bliss and seeing stars, not to mention you would want to throw your panties away forever. Come to me me and hang on! 
😂 LOL, not for real.. just trying to be humorous! 😂🤣
Yikes,...😂 let us know if it works out and you fish a panty.
🤣 nostr:npub1ppjkfvk0ek3g584gp7qp9d3znwdznadchet7q2aez9r27620n9zs45xvx2 I don’t think you have a future as a spicy romance author!
Well damn! 😂🤣
Naw. We ugly. You cute, tho.
Leave it at that. LOL
Whaa are not ugly 😂🤣🫂 everyone is beautiful to someone, beautiful is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore we are all beautiful 🥹💜🫂💯❤️ you cannot argue with my logic, it is sound ☺️
You* Beauty* 😅
Only if you are of that mindset. I'm not. I think we can all agree, that on average, women are cuter.
nice sentiment but things aint like that. beauty has standards and definitions and isnt just a matter of plebs opinions:
I dunno, maybe my brain doesn’t work that way. I have no type cos every guy I’ve fancied is different and all definitely haven’t been conventionally attractive. But all beautiful to me 🥹🙏🏽 but I see where you’re coming from
I love that !!!! 🥹💜😍
I find many things attractive that have nothing to do with classic beauty. When it comes to appearance, I like eyes and smile
Me too 😍💜❤️🫂💯😍
Thank you for calling me cute. 🫂💜
or maybe we could just throw your television out ...
Maybe we just need an app so you can guess who’s a serial killer and who’s not instead of a dating app.
😂😂😂
Have photos that have been taken by other people, try to avoid mirror selfies
Have photos of you doing activities you enjoy, not just mirror selfies
Don’t have only group photos (this goes for women too) no one enjoys guessing which one you are
Get good lighting (i.e. outdoors in daylight is best. Refer back to the mirror selfies). This is absolutely key
That’s the bare bones basics
Group photos one had me 🤣😂🤣😂💯 like where’s Wally
I put hearts over others in photos with me to protect their privacy or try and crop them.
Me too but goofy smiley faces 😍
Smart is the limit, but that’s also false marketing then.
Let’s discuss this further regarding false marketing and scamming peoples taxes.
Shall we?’
💌
Its not the central smart agency in langley, is it?!
😚
Mainvolume I wanna see your dating profile 😂🔥🙏🏽
Here is me and my repo
I’m scared to click it 🥹💜
Thats what all girls tell me
You smooth criminal 😎💜
So what does a gal like you doing in a web like this?
Are you flirting with me Mainvolume ☺️ I’m blushing 💜
Wouldn’t dream of it. Not in a web like this among heathens and other deviants. Do you read the bible?
Mainvolume is virtuous, into immaculate births and stuff.
You should really do something about the stan situation
No need to do anything about it, that’s pure romance right there 🥹💯
Yeah no, stan is a nice guy, just a little shy.
🫂
Funny things happen dwelling in these corners of the web to avoid needing to understand for humans
I totally get this 🥹💜🫂 
And here is me having thoughts
lfg!
I am curious
nostr:npub1jcjxjg92200kdp8guw8sysg8gr0ez29hahrfdy49h30hgnkpa4kqfvmtwx also recommended I set it to maximum distance. I can’t figure out where the hell the first guy who liked my profile lives. Could be Illinois, could be a neighborhood in Texas. 🤷🏼♀️
Mmh, honestly, I worry most about posting a photo of myself. You don't know where the photo will end up everywhere. Probably a bit ridiculous 🫣
🫂💜
Uh, no. I don't put my face or my fingerprints online. It's good to be cautious. The internet is forever, unless everything fries in a solar flare, but then you don't need to worry about the internet then. LOL
Then how did you do it on the dating apps?
Doesn't everyone alter their photos on those things?
I'm not sure. Never needed those apps, but seeing as how everyone is a tad on empty in the substance department that they would need to be on a dating app, I don't expect their protectionism of themselves to be 100% accurate.
I mean, if they were good looking - they wouldn't need a dating app.
Dating apps are for uglies? 😂 😂😂😂
I think nostr:npub1jcjxjg92200kdp8guw8sysg8gr0ez29hahrfdy49h30hgnkpa4kqfvmtwx and nostr:npub17x7htjej3hgcqwqj86u9yvpcunhw6nz4zclzph2zfnlwe4v0yp8qrxvgap prove the opposite
They are both beautiful women
Not on the femme side of things - on the male side.
I'd argue they don't even have any testosterone- hence why they are on the dating app. Real men, hunt.
This is why the divorce rate is bursting through the roof
Interesting theory 🤔
If a woman of substance, say your mate Mallory, is resorting to scraping the bottom of the barrel for a date - I hope she's not expecting to find a Prince.
Standards must be lowered.
If women are willingly lowering their standards enough that they'd rather trust an algorithm than their own human nature- what do we expect? Blossoming successful love stories?
Ha!
I don't have any experience with dating apps, but a friend of mine (he's a computer nerd) said that you don't waste your time with guys that don't make sense in the first place, because they are sorted out by the algo right away
I also don't believe that looks are the deciding factor. Classic beauty means nothing. It is only an external and superficial point
It's not nothing, either, though. I believe all elements of attraction are necessary.
Compromising on any element is settling in some regard.
Guys typically are always saying lower your expectations. I’ve had the opposite experience of having better luck with higher expectations, though they are not unrealistic. Using an app is just another way to meet someone. A match on an app doesn’t equal a match in real life. I never even kissed someone I met through an app until this year and we dated for a bit. I’m not great at figuring out if I’d have the all elusive chemistry with a person until I meet them. Never used an app longer than a few days before deleting it either.
When I was on dating sites, it wasn’t the algorithm I was after. I honestly think algorithms just get in the way. What I used dating sites successfully to do was screen profiles.
I was looking for a man with a certain general personality and certain specific beliefs, and being able to sift quickly through profiles written in their own words and answers to important questions was extremely useful. I used technology to save loads of time weeding out men who were not interested, available, or compatible, and expanded the area of search way beyond the area I would naturally meet someone in.
It worked. I’d call my husband the most upright, honorable, and all-around excellent person I’ve ever met, and just right for me. I didn’t lower my standards at all, and I really believe it’s only because of the dating site that I was able to do so. Settling comes when your choices are few.
Naw, there's a lot of good looking guys that are out there finding holes to fill faster than doing the work on foot. But that eventually makes them complacent, and then they loose the hunger that drove them, or, worse, they spread themselves too thin and become hollow masks that don't fit anymore, so any woman that's worth their time will either laugh them out of existence or they won't even notice.
Nope
I didn't. I'm not particularly good looking even if I'm a pretty decent catch in some ways.
YES 😍🔥😎 I am so there 💯💯 I’ve already asked chat GPT for the best pickup lines to use on guys in case you get stuck 😉 I got you covered. My favourite is cute-cumber 🥹. I’d like to add, I asked for sexy pickup lines and I got romantic ones 🤔 open AI is broken… 
Any of these will work. See if you can get Tolkien or the Roman Empire in some of them and you’ll be unstoppable.
LOVE IT 💯💯😍🔥🙏🏽
Sounds like fun 😂
They’re not all bad. nostr:npub1e2rd2k45ym2jmctnysfadxumrvrr57vqj69ck6trt2y62c40r0kqs9lx8t and I met on a dating app.
That’s wonderful 😍☺️💜❤️💯🫂
Which one?
OkCupid
I still recommend it for picky people 😂 it’s not perfect but nothing else was nearly as good
She doesn’t know.
Honestly though I can't wait for nostr to get popular enough to combine it with ai for dating matches.
Love this idea! 🔥 would be interesting 💯
I’m scared. If I could show you some of the people I’ve been set up with or suggested. My mom keeps trying to talk up her plumber right now. I think he hates me because of it. I’m just as much a victim in this scheme as him.
🥹💜🫂 they do say family and friend recommendations are a good idea 🥹❤️🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I see that as the future of dating, employing ai to find matches based on your preferences and getting rid of these shitty gatekeepers at bumble, tinder, etc. Just recently got back in the game from a ltr and I hate how they rarely show you your matches unless you pay their extortion level prices. Honestly Facebook seems to be better than any of them to me. At least they don't try to extort you.
I am not a connoisseur of dating apps. I normally panic delete them after a 2-3 days.
Yea they are a necessary evil for me unfortunately. I feel like it's a lot harder for guys to meet girls though at least for us more introvert guys, (I'm intp on the Myers Briggs cognitive model.)
Yeahh sadly dating apps are designed to keep you coming back 😭 it can work for some people though 🙏🏽💜
Yea I think it's the messed up incentives for the company running the platform. It's not profitable for them to actually help people find love. I also don't like how it incentivizes the swipe culture either as someone who appreciates genuine human connection and can't stand vapid and shallow mindsets that things like tinder incentivize people towards.
Honestly if I could choose this is one of my first ideas for what to design but the timing would also need to be right to find a market large enough to steal the network effects of those platforms.
Agree. Despite making the comment about the profile picture I would prefer meeting people in person. Dating apps seem to work for finding single people and filtering for certain preferences like religion, hobbies, etc. But the key is the human connection.
I agree but certain cognitive models seem to attract usually the opposite. For example the girls I usually attract are enfp or enfj. Not That I even filter for them but it's a subconscious thing. I can usually guess their Myers Briggs after talking to them a bit and a lot of times they are shocked that I'm right lol.
That said yea you gotta meet in person asap and see if there's sparks. I usually give it 2 to 3 dates.
Ooo can you guess our Myers Briggs?☺️
I'd prolly have to talk to you one on one for a while. But I'm mostly just good at it because I know which types of girls seen to be attracted to me most the time lol.
It's still not as bad as when medication is designed to keep you coming back.
Not Bumble. At least that's what they say.
They still want to charge a ridiculous amount of money for guys. Maybe it's cheap for girls? I've never actually gotten a real match on there before. Not actually sure how many people even use these apps because I think a lot of them are bots or unserious people who aren't actually interested in much but the dopamine boost from a like.
You have to pay for bumble? 🤯 it’s always been free no? Ahh I think mayyybe it depends where you are in the world (don’t dox yourself though🙏🏽🫂)
It's $20 a week for guys. That cuts into my bitcoin money. I'll find love either using it for free or after this generational stacking opportunity is over. Right now is stacking as first priority though lol.
I don't mind saying I'm in the usa. Perhaps it's less for men in other countries.
I think their business model is like the classic club model. Ladies get in free to get the guys to come and spend stupid amounts of money trying to find love 🤣
😱 I had no idea guys paid for bumble, damn. You would think there would be more serious guys on there given this, but nope 🤣🙏🏽.
That’s fair, stacking sats first, I hear you 💪🏽💯🔥😎
Guys also paid for Belle Delphine’s bath water…..never underestimate how stupid we can be cause we’ll take it as a challenge lol.
And no, I did not buy any bath water. I spent too much time as an EMT for that lol
Oh dear 🤣😂🥹 who’s belle delphine?
🤝💯🔥💜🫂 good on you 💯🙏🏽
A cam girl who sold jars of her bath water for mega money
People complain about, but if I could sell mine I’d take the money and run 🤣
Sometimes humanity really makes me tired 🥹😭 life, longest degree I’ll ever do, but i’ll learn a lot I am sure.
I know what you mean, sometimes this emoji is too appropriate 🤦♂️ but it keeps things interesting I suppose 😂
You aren’t wrong there fren 🥹😂🤣😂🤣💯🙏🏽🫂 definitely more interesting this way I agree 🤣💯🙏🏽💜
How big of a problem is this one?
Yeah no, the smarts we can fake being, but when the smarts go how, pennies are not the same anymore.
Asteroid being captured by NASA worth $10000000000000000000 would make everyone on Earth a billionaire https://www.unilad.com/news/asteroid-16-psyche-nasa-rocket-rich-billionaire-086170-20231016
Thats nineteen zeros right this bit here, and the funny thing is, you don’t have to prove the uncertainty principle.
😭 
Oh yea it's a classic strategy that works for everything from shows to bars. Get the ladies in and you've got the guys.
I'm surprised there aren't in your experience. I guess there's just a lot of unserious/indecisive people? I always thought it was easy easier for ladies.
Ohhhhh I had no idea 🤯 never been to a club, but that would make total sense.
It’s very rare to find a guy that you click with who also wants something real. But I’m okay with that tbf, means I’ll appreciate it that much more when it happens 😍💯💜 also quite like being single ☺️ am learning to appreciate this time 🙏🏽.
Dating apps are like scrolling on Netflix for some people. You see something you like but you just can’t seem to decide because there are too many options 🥲, but you might plan to watch that great movie next week and leaving it on the back burner. People get addicted to swiping. Not like good old Blockbuster 😂.
Nah, the struggle is real for us all 💜🫂🙏🏽
Yea I'm not the club type either, I just know from playing in bands that that's the strategy to get good ticket sales lol.
Yea it might just be hard to find people in general that have done the inner work to be ready for something real. Humans exclusive a lot of suffering and trauma and if they haven't developed the tools to be healthy in relationships they end badly. I feel like a lot of people have given up on that in these dating scenes just due to how unhealthy people are in mind, body, and soul.
I had to do a lot of work sitting in vipassana for years and doing other various types of meditation to go through all that stuff and it wasn't until a few years ago that I finally felt I was ready after recognition of anatta happened on my 30th bday in the midst of the worst depression I ever went through.
Funny how those things work. Anywho yea you gotta be happy being alone for sure!
Humans experience a lot*
Yea I think the attention span of people has been manipulated to be very low and to treat it almost like a meat market. Few seem interested in getting deep and that's something I need in relationship. I like to listen to whole albums, hear the whole story etc because to me that's the intimacy that I crave in a true connection.
It’s a cool idea!
I’d love such an AI to be transparently open source and customizable. Otherwise you just end up with another cruddy algorithm that thinks it knows what you want and… does not.
