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 linked a rec I made over a year ago about deleting hinge and dating the old fashioned way. have I been on a single date since then? nope. do I stand by what I said? absolutely.
I’m still convinced that the apps aren’t perfect, and while they might work for some people they’re kind of a necessary evil at best. without them, it’s hard to put yourself in contexts where meeting someone organically is possible. and even then, within those contexts the meeting has to be just that: organic. it takes time. it takes being in places/situations regularly where you think you’ll meet people who share your interests/values. it also takes a bit of effort to initiate those interactions, and also fate that someone might initiate something with you.
the apps are a convenient, quick fix, instant gratification solution to the issue in that they will get you dates, but in exchange for quantity you may sacrifice on quality. things of quality have no fear of time, though. waiting to encounter someone who is a good fit and in a good phase of life to be what you need and vice versa is going to take time. and if you work a 9-5 like I do, you’re going to have to invest in putting yourself in situations to meet people in your free time. or just do what I do and develop crushes on your superiors in the workplace that are doomed to never be realized because of HR protocol. i’d advise against the latter, though.

So I saw a group of friends doing some group evaluations on Hinge and let me tell you, I was envious and glad I’m not on any. can they work? Surely. is it fun? Yes and no? Told myself the last time I was on it that it would be my last time, and the last last time I told myself that would be the last time.. so clearly, it’s time for the last time again! (again?)

i think trying to summarize our indescribable human souls in hinge prompts and swiping through people like they’re restaurants on doordash is probably bad for us. would love to be in love though! it sounds nice.
