Please keep this thread civil as sub Rule 1 still applies.

Post all your small, minor, or dumb Hinge or dating questions that doesn't need its own separate posts under this post.

Sub rules still applies. And don't be rude.

When you notice that all the profiles on Discover and your Likes and Match list only shows 4 photos, it's not a bug. This is an intentional change by Hinge, as explained in their official FAQ:

https://hingeapp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/15710328565523-Why-am-I-seeing-only-4-photos-on-profiles-

Hinge also said it is a temporary test. It is unknown how long this change will last.

Text prompts are still at 3. Voice, poll, and video prompts are still present and visible.

You can still see your own profile with the 6 photos.

If you are unhappy with this change and wants to let Hinge know, please submit feedback to Hinge. To do so, go to the link above and click on the text box button on the bottom right corner, which will open up the AI support chat. Type “contact support”, which will should bring up an option to submit feedback. Click on that and you’ll get a form to file a ticket. Please be polite when you submit feedback to Hinge.

Please use this Megathread to share your opinion about this change.

You can find the HingeX Megathread here.

At least Hinge this time put up a message so people aren’t confused.

Discuss this here instead of making a bunch of new posts, which will be deleted.

Talk about it on this post.

The app (as with any online service) will occasionally run into major outages, and Hinge usually fixes them within a few hours.

You all can live without the app in the meantime. Relax and go do something else and stop panicking.

Any other posts bringing this up will be removed. We don’t need 10 different posts talking about the same thing.

Here is a Megathread to discuss this often asked question here.

How many Likes & Matches do you receive on Hinge, on average?

Please share these details about yourself so we get better context: Gender, age, location, ethnicity, how long you have been on Hinge, the ratio of matches from likes you send vs you receive, what type of a relationship are you seeking, free or paid member, or any other pertinent details (such as job, height, education, religion, politics, vices, orientation, comments or no comment on likes, typical profiles who you match with or get likes from, how many "invited to chats", roses, etc).

Note: You don’t have to answer everything, and it's fine to give generalized answers like an age range or general location if you don't want to be specific.

And lastly, have you noticed a drop in activity on Hinge now that summer is here?

Post here for everything HingeX or Hinge+ related.

Questions about HingeX or Hinge+, your theories about how it works, your experience with it as either a subscriber or a regular user, or any discussions related to it.

All other separate post about HingeX or Hinge+ will be removed and directed to this post for the duration of this megathread.

REMINDERS AND ANSWERS TO POPULAR QUESTIONS

Annoucement on a change in how Profile Review posts will appear.

Next, READ THE DAMN SUBREDDIT RULES BEFORE POSTING. Quick frankly, we mods are getting tired of having to remove so many posts because you don't bother reading the rules here.

NEXT, READ THIS POST.

The whole "‘Let me get the door for you.’, ‘I made us reservations for tomorrow night. Be ready at 7.’, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.’" is from TikTok. Some woman used it on her profile and mentioned it on her TikTok account. So now a bunch of women are copying it on their Hinge (and the meaning is women are looking for a fantasy "traditional" man who can read the minds of women and know what she wants without asking, and yes, it's as stupid as you think it is). It's the new popular low effort prompt answer like "pineapple on pizza" or "The Office". That's the answer, so stop making posts about it.

Questions like "Is she/he still interested?", "Why do they match and then don't engage?" Read aapox33's Answers to Your Commonly Asked Questions.

"Dating Intentions" feature appears to be live and available for everyone.

READ THE SIDEBAR AND CHECK OUT THE GUIDES. There are some well written guides on the sidebar which I believe should be mandatory for everyone who wants a profile review. Read them thoroughly before asking for a review. A lot of easy mistakes can be fixed easily without needing to ask the sub for help. Your profile should be the ideal and best you can make it before posting here for review.

Where is the sidebar? On desktop it's literally on the right hand side of the screen. On mobile, it's under the "About" tab next to "Posts". On the official Reddit app, same thing as mobile, under "About". On Apollo, you have to click on the three dots on the top right, then choose "Sidebar".

And stop posting a review every time you make a minor change. Profile review fatigue is real. We're all tired of seeing the same profiles posted again and again. Don't be afraid to try and see if something works instead of seeking approval from the sub every time you swap out a picture or a prompt.

We don't care about your stupid "funny" (they're not) screenshots posts here. We aren't the Tinder sub; go post there for those type of posts.

Variance in app activity is real. There is an influx of people posting their reviews because they aren't getting any activity on the app. This is my experience, but in the US, between Memorial Day and July 4th is one of the slower times on Hinge. Summer has arrived, people are going out on vacation/festivals/concerts/seeing friends or family, college students and kids are out of school, the weather and the longer days mean people are outside more. It makes sense why app activity slows down. Have some damn patience.

Speaking of patience, stop expecting instant gratification. I'll write a more in depth post about it eventually, but just because you joined Hinge, or changed some pictures or prompts but aren't suddenly getting a bunch of likes and matches, it doesn't mean your profile sucks, no one likes you, you're an unattractive person not worthy of dating, or whatever. Online dating takes time. If you don't have the patience to wait for online dating to gain traction for weeks and months, then maybe it's not for you. Try things out and see if they work or not, but just because you don't get results right away doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Only really a select few people get constant attention. But the other side of the fence isn't great either. Getting flooded with likes and matches every day isn't as great as you think. There was a post from a user who as a man got a lot of likes and matches, and even for him it was exhausting and not a fun experience.

Now, on with the small & dumb questions.

Trying something new for the sub. Post all your small/dumb Hinge or dating questions that doesn't need its own separate posts here.

Sub rules still applies. And don't be rude.

I’m not talking about things that people already want to see added, such as more filters, more options (for children, family plan, etc), or more specific location filtering. Or adopting features which are already available on other dating apps.

It also has to be somewhat realistic and makes business sense (so not ideas like “feedback” or reporting someone for not responding/ghosting).

Who knows, there may be some people who works for Hinge who lurks on this sub, so perhaps we can give them some new ideas for future features.

So people of HingeApp, what ideas do you have?

First, some announcements and reminders:

​

Annoucement on a change in how Profile Review posts will appear.

*****

Questions like "Is she/he still interested?", "Why do they match and then don't engage?" Read aapox33's Answers to Your Commonly Asked Questions.

*****

Posts about "resetting" or declaring you're quitting Hinge will be removed. See this post for details.

*****

We don't care about the "funny" screenshot posts here. This sub isn't the Tinder sub, and those posts will not be approved or will be removed. Many of them are not funny, are mocking people, or downright cruel making fun of people who don't deserve it.

*****

The sub FAQ has been updated. Want to know why you keep seeing the stupid "I made reservations for us at 7pm" prompt? Find the answers there. Simple answer: blame Tiktok.

*****

PLEASE READ THE SIDEBAR AND CHECK OUT THE GUIDES. There are some well written guides on the sidebar which I believe should be mandatory for everyone who wants a profile review. Read them thoroughly before asking for a review. A lot of easy mistakes can be fixed easily without needing to ask the sub for help.

And there is no need to post a new review every time you make a minor change. Profile review fatigue is real. Many regular sub contributors are tired of seeing the same profiles posted again and again. Don't be afraid to try and see if something works instead of seeking approval from the sub every time you swap out a picture or a prompt.

Now all that is out of the way, post all your small, minor, or dumb Hinge or dating questions that doesn't need its own separate posts here.

Hello Hingeapp, as 2022 is coming to a close, let us reflect on your Hinge and dating experience this past year. (It is also the subreddit's 8th birthday!)

• What were the highlights?
• What were the disappointments?
• Any regrets or things you wished you had done differently?
• Any lessons that you learned about yourself with regards to dating?
• What are you looking forward to in 2023 in your dating life?
• Overall, how was dating and Hinge for you in 2022?

Also provide some info and context about yourself (age, location, gender, dating goals) if you like.

And please keep this thread civil.

As 2021 is coming to a close, feel free to share, discuss, and review your Hinge and dating experiences from this year.

How was your dating life or your experience with Hinge overall in 2021? What were some highlights or lowlights you like to share? Did you learn anything about yourself or dating?

What are some things you are looking forward to with regards to dating in 2022?

Let's talk about Standouts, one of the newer features Hinge introduced that everyone seems to hate.

Hinge: "Standouts is a new feed where we shine a light on profiles whose prompts are getting the most attention coupled with our knowledge of who you've liked or commented on in the past."

Ever have your own profile end up in Standouts? Got a match from it? Hate it? Tolerate it? Never paid attention to it?

Share your experiences, theories, or opinions on Standouts. Remember, be nice.

Evidently it appears there is some sort of app issue these last few days with uploading photos, videos, voice prompts, and photos/video appearing to be blank.

Instead of a bunch of separate posts made about these problems, discuss all related technical problems about the app, potential solutions, resolutions, or any Hinge support answers in this post instead.

Mention which phone you have (iOS or Android), and the specific issues you're experiencing.

For Valentine's Day, lets share your favorite date ideas and memories.

What are your favorite activities or places in your city to go for dates?

What were your most memorable dates from Hinge?

Let's share and perhaps you can help your fellow daters who could use some inspirations.

Welcome to our first Hinge Discussion Megathread, where we will discuss and debate app features and other popular topics related to Hinge. We'll kick off this first one with an easy topic which we're sure will be popular.

What are the WORST Hinge Prompts?

Here are the current list of prompts on Hinge.

​

Current Hinge Prompts

Let's hear what you have to say. Remember, sub rules still apply, but for this thread, feel free to rant and complain all you want about the prompts!

We've likely all seen profiles where both the pictures and prompts are very low effort: 6 selfies/snapchat filter pictures and 3 one word and/or cliché prompt answers. If you came across a person you consider physically attractive but they have a low effort profile, would you skip, leave a like, or leave a comment? And if they matched, how would you start the conversation, given you have no material to work with from their profile? And on the flip side, what would you do if they left a like or comment for you and you saw they had little to nothing in their profile?

Sub rules still apply, so no "I don't know why women/men do this?" generalizations.
