One from a blue collar worker who can’t spell. One from a deaf guy.



I'm 33, I have a date tonight with an engineer and a date this weekend with a surgeon. Your age isn't the problem. How are your pics? What do you do? Is your profile positive/fun or negative?



Weird I have a date with an engineer this weekend too. Wonder if it's the same guy


Not unless he's in NYC.


Actually... yes, he is in NY hmmm

Yes, that's bad. You're putting pressure/expectations on a relationship that doesn't even exist yet.

I feel badly for the deaf guy. Life is hard enough without having that issue.

I wouldn't put it that way. Say "interested in getting to know someone where there is a potential for a long term relationship".

but regardless two contacts in 2 weeks is terrible if you live in a major metro area. Is your profile awful? Do you live in a tiny rural town (for example, my cousin is a teacher in a depressed rural part of SW VA and the numbers game just isn't in her favor)?

I’m guessing sw va could be hard if you’re not white, too

Do you come off as extremely picky and unrealistic in what you're hoping to get? Your profile must be really off-putting.

Selfies are unflattering. Get better photos.

Get better pictures featuring just you (not a bunch of group shots), make sure you have some interesting info on your profile but keep it short and positive, and get on bumble and hinge.

For the love of god don’t make your main profile picture a picture of just your pet, you hidden behind sunglasses and a hat, or a photo or you standing in a big group of people. Guys want to see your face clearly so get a good photo of yourself smiling at the camera.

It’s not your age that is the problem so I have to assume you are running into problems with your pictures and the app you are using. (Who uses okc??)

This was my experience but I’m fat and was honest about it (lots of full body pics accurately reflecting my appearance).

I did eventually meet and marry someone though!
