Is Hinge Worth It For Guys In 2023?

[@NinetyKid-j3v]

Here’s the deal; 1) be attractive, 2) don’t be unattractive, 3) never pay for dating apps, you’re just feeding a broken system

I’ve had a lot of success on Hinge and Tinder, I think it depends as much on your location as your looks. In my small hometown I can’t find anybody within 50 miles, but when I’m up at college I get about 10 matches a week between the two, which usually turns into 2 dates. It might not be you or the app but just your life circumstance. Which sucks, yeah, but at least you’re not doing anything wrong.

As men we should all boycott dating apps because they are designed to just string us along and get as much money from us as possible.

[@nicholasbersito6942]

I had 4 matches on hinge and the conversations are dull and they don’t even answer back from my experience so far I keep pushing though it because I feel like at some point some girl will come through and I can get a date I’m being patient with it I just don’t understand why people match then completely ghost you when you message first smh 🤦‍♂️

[@benperry835]

Don't waste your time with "hoping" it's just a matter of waiting. I've used Hinge 3 years, even stupidly got a paid membership for 6 months. Have never recieved a like, only ever "matched" with someone after I had liked them and its always bottom of the barrel randoms I've liked in an attempt to make the app work or scammers. You won't match with anyone who you are interested in, the whole point of hinge is to separate the profiles you like and put them in the "standouts" so that you have to Pay to message them even with a paid membership. The glaring problem with that is you've no idea if the standout profiles are active so you're paying out for something with no garantee. It is a scam site, as all dating sites are, to exploit vunerable people out of their money. Just delete it as all their advertising tell you to.

I’ve put effort into hinge. Only thing left for me to do is update my photos because they’re quite old. I do like the idea of hinge in terms of getting more matches than tinder for example. Like the last 3-4 days I’ve had 9 matches a lot of the girls were very attractive and my openers have been quite good. Only problem is getting girls off of the app or on dates. Convos have fizzled out quite early I would say and it’s making me think it’s not worth the time I’m putting in. But who knows maybe that next girl is the one I think is the one.

To all the single guys reading this who are straight and looking for women- if you are looking for a decent woman, who has done the work on herself, healed from her traumas etc you will NEVER find her on a dating app. She is busy living her purpose, pursuing a hobby, travelling etc. These women want to be approached in an old fashioned way! We know that society has made it difficult for you guys to know what is acceptable these days but we still prefer the old fashion way. Also you will rarely meet these women in bars! Please work on your confidence and approach women the old fashion way! A lot of these amazing, wonderful women are not on dating apps. In fact they would argue that dating apps are for desperate women and creepy men who just want to have fun. They would argue that dating apps are for creepy men with fake profiles who aren’t who they say they are- I know this also applies to women this is why the decent woman you are looking for is not on the dating apps! She is either in the gym, at work, charity event, book club, running club, yoga class etc go out and develop the confidence and the skill to approach women the old fashion way! Good luck

I don’t want to steal the spot light from anyone’s comments but I would just like to share what happened to me maybe less than 30mins ago. I matched with a girl on hinge-we exchange a few text and she asked me to call her. We speak for about 10mins. Solid convo flowing evenly between the two of us. till she asked me if I got vaccinated. I said no but not for the reasons alot of ppl might not. I ask her back if she did she says yes and adds that she wasn’t a fan of it, okay I didn’t think much of it after a few more sentences of us talking she says “ I can’t date someone that didn’t get two shots booster or even one shot”. I was taken back by this and replied saying why should the relationship solely only be on the vaccine. She couldn’t answer the question and The convo was dead after that. Am I wrong in this story?

Aite cool, wake up today send her texts she replied then responds, and then I replied back and haven’t heard from her in 7 hours 😭 could be busy but the fact we’re suppose to talk on the phone I’m having my doubts especially cuz how pretty she is.

I get matches on hinge 5-10/ week but it’s really hard to have an engaging convo on there. Half the women I match with won’t even send a first message and the ones that do message me back are usually dry or annoying. It’s like 5% that are actively engaged in convo with me… I could put more effort into messaging but it’s hard to be motivated when someone is likely to disconnect at any moment. So I only put effort into messaging when the other person seems actively engaged.

[@magilas8485]

It works for some but I wouldn’t trust anyone on a dating app. The whole system is designed for a person to either get A LOT or lack of attention. Getting too much just inflates ego and gets their brain craving for that attention from different people, which is just a bad thing to have in a relationship. Call me old school or whatever but the talking stage is a very important part of dating. Thats how you connect with a person and if you’re talking with multiple people, are you really accomplishing that? You’re ending up choosing between people. Yeah, you should “explore” to find your match but that doesn’t necessarily mean get involved with multiple people at once. It’s so shallow and superficial. People can’t create and don’t have genuine connections with people. If you dont get any, you bring yourself down so much. You crave for that attention and when u finally get it from someone, you become blinded by it and ignore the red flags. It’s a lose-lose situation.

[@Joe-pf8fu]

This guy overthinks it. He thinks he's Whittier and smarter than all the rest of us. First conversation is not the end goal. Your goal is to meet and date then be together. These girls have a Now mentality. They're attention span is set on zero. One great conversation then boom you may be deleted the next day. Also good convo does not translate to attraction. Physical. I had great convo with a woman with 5 kids! Youngest 7. My daughter is 30 and grown. I'm not looking to be a father again. A woman I had great physical chemistry was boring AF. Hinge sucks but it's the best of all the sucky apps

Why can’t you guys just approach women in the old fashion way? Serious question

[@paddyd50gamer86]

Here's my understanding of the difficulties. I'm recently single so need to build up my confidence talking to women again for dating. Sparking up a conversation right now is a scary thing but obviously something I just need to work on and get over. Where to talk to women is a daunting experience amd what is socially acceptable is complicated nowadays. Where you live can impact this as well and some places definitely have friendlier people than others. Work can be complicated to pick up women because if it doesn't go well it can impact your work life. Bars and clubs are a very tricky place to pick up women because women tend to have their guards up in these environments so you need to have great communication skills to do well in these environments. To sum up the struggles with it are the best places to meet women can be more daunting to approach them and the difficult places are the most socially acceptable places to interact with them. So it's something me and most people need to work on and improve upon to achieve the most success. Whereas dating apps feels more safe. You are both there for the same reason. If you meet up with them, you don't have to get through that initial phase of approaching them, which can be awkward for lots of people and you can do it from home and in this digital age that again provides safety for lots of people. Now I'm not saying that's the healthiest way to be but I do think that covers the main reasons why.

[@Jenmac-ks9ij]

@@paddyd50gamer86 Thank you so much for explaining its makes sense! However, there are so many quality women, who are ready for long term serious relationships that chose not to go on these dating websites. They see it as a cesspit of creeps who are just looking for a fling etc. These single women want to meet men in the old fashioned way. I completely get you that our world today is so complicated that men are so confused with what is socially acceptable or not. There are decent single women that will never bear a dating app simple because they believe that it’s a place for all sorts of men pretending to be who there are not. I am completely with you about being confused about what is socially acceptable these days which is so sad because the decent women that you would like to meet 99% are not on dating website. I know there have been successful stories from these apps. Some women just want to meet men in real life. I think the reason women put their guard up in bars is because sometimes it’s for their safety - but deep down they really want to meet nice guys. On a serious note, a decent woman who has done all the work, healed from her trauma etc will never go to a bar to find her prince charming- never. You will find her at a charity event, in the gym, at church, you will find her following her passion and living her dreams- but deep down she wants a good man. Also, as women we value being introduced within our circle - meaning we want someone we know introduced us to someone they know. Meeting someone at work, I understand that it can be complicated if things don’t work out,but you would be surprised how many people have met amazing partners at work and gone on to start families and building great marriages. I am glad guys are working on their confidence because the decent women you are looking for are not on dating apps! They would argue that dating apps gives men so many options and it’s like swiping to “shop” for a woman- which some women don’t want. Also these women would argue that only “desperate women” go on dating apps. If you are looking for a serious relationship there is 99% chance she isn’t on the dating app- you will find her (maybe not in bars) but you will find her doing a hobby. As women we want men to approach us in a friendly way without being too heavy and just being our friend first. I am happy to hear that you men are working on building your confidence!

[@jeremiahbryant123]

I prefer approaching in person , but many girls will give you the number never text back or lie and say they have a bf . It can be frustrating, on hinge I get many matches , but I rather do that than go out and never get a text back. Hinge they sometimes don’t message back either , but I can swipe at the convience of my home versus going out spending money and getting curved .

[@Jenmac-ks9ij]

@@jeremiahbryant123 I get what you mean, however if you are looking for a serious relationship and you approach a girl you wish to get to know, before asking for her number, let her know if she isn’t going to call or text back after receiving your message that you would rather know than waste each other’s time. Also from the outset let them know you would like to get to know them and if they have a bf you respect that (whether is true or not) you move on. However for those that give you their number and never respond - it’s very common as sometimes we think the guy is coming on to strong and we find that strange. If you play it cool and ask for their number but make it clear you want to get to know them and if they are just taking your number but not respond back you rather know- as women we respect men who are upfront with us and who plays it cool- a woman will walk away thinking she needs to get to know you. If you text and then they don’t reply then you move on, that’s way you kept your word with her and not push things. If you are looking for woman who has her life together, healed form her trauma and living her best life- she is not on dating apps! You will find her in the gym, book clubs, running clubs, gala events etc. These women are so busy living their best life to be glued to their phone looking for matches. They prefer meeting men through mutual friends via introductions. However if you are looking for hook up then you will find a large percentage of women who are just looking for fun there- don’t get me wrong there are some decent women there but the percentage is extremely low. I would advise you to continue approaching women in person. I understand that society has made it complicated for guys to know what is appropriate these days! Good luck!
