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.

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?
Fun update, I’m engaged! We’re getting married in October right before Halloween. I could not imagine a girlfriend who treats me any better.
I’ve wondered about the outcome of your romantic troubles. This is a very satisfying update - congratulations!
Congratulations! Thats great news!!
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?
Yay! She’s beautiful, and you don’t look even a little bit villainous, haha.
An honest-to-goodness fairy-tail ending. ![]()
Isnt she out of your league? ( joking)
Congratulations hope it is going well!
Just read this full thread start to finish, was about 30 mins of time I should have used for sleeping, but was a really entertaining, informative read and such a fantastic end! Massive congrats @jskrabac
Also brought up a few names I haven’t seen in a long time @flappinit @Voxel @wanna_be
Behold, I am here
Boom! How’s life? You’re not long married as well if I recall?
Life is good. Wife (just celebrated 2 years) is a hot decorated wellness competitor. Family grew by 1.Home gym is huge and has good equipment.
Just started following a J3 university program while utilizing Justin harris mass diet template. Really enjoying it
Hopefully yours is going just as well!
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!!
How was the program?
