Or best to always be taken with a grain of salt? I’ve always assumed that any woman, regardless of how she looks, can receive an influx of attention on dating apps. However, on the hinge subreddit, some women post their profile for review and mention the lack of activity on the app. As a woman in her early thirties, I’ve always gotten attention and from some men that actually look decent on paper. I always tread carefully and take each interaction as it comes, not putting any stock on the next attractive guy that shoots a message. You deal with the creepy messages and questionable profiles but over the years, there’s been a few that \\\*seemed interested\\\* and decent I suppose. Being very introverted and reserved, sadly all of my experience has been from using the apps sporadically. I’ve been told I’m attractive and try to take care of my appearance, however I never get approached from guys in person. Anytime a decent looking guy noticed me in the past, it’s always been word of mouth, eye contact& the guy never made it known directly. For example, someone telling me this person was looking at me or the guy said I’m yadda yadda etc. Back to my original question, should you ever consider attention on the apps if the guy: showed interest, there was ongoing communication, he’s not a total creep & is decently attractive?

30F and I know it can look different for everyone, however I do genuinely feel as if I’m in the minority and not trying to come across as “I’m not like the other girls”. Attachment styles are trending & I relate to the avoidant type, as I feel I can easily detach from people. But I’m very introverted, a loner and like my own company, however I feel this pressure when I see women my age on social media in seemingly fulfilling relationships. I deal with body image issues but am told I’m attractive, people have hinted in the past that I’m too picky or choose to be single. But who actually chooses to be single if that person wants to find a relationship and no one has what they’re looking for? I’ve only met men through dating apps, however the apps are only getting worse & and they’ve always been shitty.

Maybe around 60% of the men that wanted to meet up (and looked good on paper), I shut them down before they could shoot their shot. And the other ones that I met up with or it didn’t work out before meeting all resulted from: ghosting, fizzling out, shitty texters, lack of interest from me or mutually etc. It may seem like self sabotage but I also feel anxiety and a mix of apathy. Like I don’t get how people can get intimate on the first date, even the innocent cast on Love on the Spectrum are comfortable holding hands & that can make me uncomfortable. I haven’t had sex in years, don’t care if I ever do again, my very brief STR was also in my early twenties, I have no desire to be sexually active & self pleasure is meh. My mom insists that I just haven’t found the right person, I’m so fucked aren’t I 🥺?

I’ve had my account for a little over a month & feel discouraged. The TikTok promote feature is a waste of time & attracts bots, which hurts engagement. How can I post the same video on two platforms & get different results?! Use identical hashtags, captions, music & right around the same time too. That same video gets 3x more engagement on YT versus TikTok & sometimes, the inverse can happen. I’ve asked for free advice & am willing to pay for engagement with real results. Like actual people liking, viewing & following etc. My page revolves around video games & a trending character.

I’m 5’7 7/8 so I’m closer to 5’8, I have the ankle length jeans in long so they fit like normal length. I have the ultra loose in short but it’s noticeable when I sit down. I have the mid rise straight in regular and it’s the right length. I really wanted brown jeans and they’re all sold out because of this denim sale. So I had to settle for long, will I likely have to return? I’m a pear shape so my legs are thicker, which is why they might look a bit shorter. Wear a size CL 30 (10)

31F & my gallbladder was removed in my early twenties. Since then, I’ve had a rapport of having loose stools after eating richer foods. For maybe a year, I’d have diarrhea episodes that would resolve after using pepto bismol. Around 2 weeks ago, I had this weird stomach bug where I dealt with: nausea, weakness, gas, upset stomach and diarrhea. Again, was better after taking pepto bismol. The weird thing is any time I’d have a stool or diarrhea, the color was normal or darker because of the pepto bismol. But before the stools or diarrhea started, I’d have this liquid like stool that was green mixed with tinges of red. So that has to be blood? But when I wiped, the red was more translucent. But why was this liquid & strained stool that red color while all the other ones weren’t? I’ve had hemorrhoids before and that looked more like actual blood. I just have health anxiety when it comes to cancer, no immediate family history. It’s usually extended relatives like my grandparent’s siblings. The liquid/red stools started yesterday but no weird stomach bug symptoms yet, except some gas and bloating + upset stomach.
