The Anti-Friend Zone

Hea brother this is about as deep as our world as men get. I wish I could offer some advice but I can’t. So I will just be a man on the sidelines watching this thread for some hope.

Another exciting update for ya guys…I finally went for it. I made a Hinge account. So based on my previous experiences with dating apps, I went in knowing I’d be thrilled to get one new match per day and a couple of new dates per month.

Holy fucking shit…
Only 1 week in I have almost 60 matches. My message box is backed up with like 25 unread messages, and just tonight I went on 2 dates and have dates booked through the weekend and already starting to fill up next weekend. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I’m enjoying this, but getting some serious imposter syndrome. I feel like I’m in the matrix. And the women I’m meeting with are looking for long-term, want kids, etc. since I’ve filtered preferences this way. I also decided this time to be very selective in who I swipe, so all the girls I match are 10s in my eyes. THIS IS NUTS!

Thanks to all who pushed me to try the apps!

Hinge is where it’s at now. Tinder and bumble are worthless

I had a problem with talking with girls who normally I wouldn’t want to seek out just because they’d initiate or show me attention. One thing I did with hinge was set my profile to hidden, and the only way girls see me is if I swipe or “like” them first. It’s help cut down on the riff raft and kept me honest lol

I’ve had a couple of hits on bumble, so I’ll still keep it around for now. Tinder seems like straight trash now–literal prostitutes and women just seeking followers.

What’s hinge?

Is this a LEGIT dating app? Like looking for relationships?

So I got an award that was “first onebox,” and was like WTF is an onebox? Which apparently was a 1 minute video of the elephants marching in Jungle Book.

What a fun thread to revisit, though.

Are you happily married now, @jskrabac?

Two of my friends are coached by him. Is J3 a program of his?

Congratulations!

The name of the program is “X-Frame”. I think it’s his (John Jewett) only paid program as far as I know.

I butchered the diet name too it’s “massive - a carb cycling approach”. Both seems great and easy to follow

Thank you!!
