Got booted from Hinge...again.

[Dash Riprock]

Got booted from Hinge a few years back. I still don’t know why and they never said. Just logged in one day and it said I violated their terms of service.

I set up a new account a few months ago. Mostly hits from low-quality women (4’s and 5’s). Got a few hits on messages I sent and met one that resulted in a one and done about 2 months ago. Was chatting with a woman a couple weeks ago. She contacted me. She was maybe a HB6. We did have a good online exchange about 80s metal bands but I was largely unenthused about meeting her. I got busy with work and was sick for a few days so I stopped replying. Tapped my Hinge icon a few days ago and found out I was banned. My crime: taking too long to reply because I had other commitments and wasn’t feeling well. What a bunch of f*cking morons.

I Googled the issue and MANY people have gotten the boot for literally no reason. Some good Reddit forums about it. Some had success reporting Hinge to the BBB. They got their accounts back but now suspect they’re shadow accounts where you don’t show up in searches and members don’t get your messages.

Women, especially older ones, are so F'ing vengeful and spiteful they will report you now for…not replying fast enough.

I also learned because Match Inc. owns Hinge, POF, Match.com, and Tinder, once you’re banned from one you have a lifetime ban from all platforms. Yes, there are workarounds, but what’s the point anymore.

Dating in 2024 (and I’ve dated for decades) is a 100% absolute s*it show in its purest form. And I blame women for creating 90% of it for obvious reasons.

Thought I’d share and see if anyone else has experienced this recently.

Ciao,

I wonder why anyone who has been a member of this forum for more than 6 months, let alone 18yrs as OP, would still register on swipe apps. That's like someone who has been for years on a trading forum opening accounts with dodgy brokers located on some island in the middle of the ocean and then complaining their accounts have been frozen and they can't access their money. Or someone on a business forum complaining that the manager of a burger joint who already has a bad reputation regarding treatment of employees holds back on paying the minimum wage they've been working for.

The only real solution is to stop wasting time on those apps. Why are women to blame if guys, out of their own free will, would rather spend time and money chatting with 4s and 5s, instead of minding their own business?

You want to waste time with mindless chatter? Install ChatGPT. You want to fvck a 4 or a 5? Go to your nearest brothel or escort agency. It's as simple as that.

Goes to a larger ailment within our society

We need an equivalent of The Free Speech Union In The US, perhaps other nations

https://freespeechunion.org/ Currently, the only civic organization of any consequence on this subject which exists here in The US* is FIRE, and their approach remains a highly legalistic one https://reason.com/podcast/2022/06/08/greg-lukianoff-saving-culture-free-speech/ That won't diminish...

Yo, calm down bro.

Swipe apps are an augment to an overall dating strategy. Plus, as you mature (I'm over 40) you simply don't attend house parties like in your 20s or even other social functions as much. Your social circle naturally shrinks and your overall prospects for meeting new people get far more limited. You'll understand when you reach that point. So in the meantime, maybe before coming across as being judgmental of another person's situation - as you have demonstrated - get all the facts.

Good day.

I agree. Also with the age thing. If your in your prime like 25-35 with a business, healthy mind and healthy body with friends and a good social circle I would stay of the apps aswell.

I do have to say some of my best relationships with women came from a dating app and I was on it only for a week or two. Mostly the best quality girls you meet at school (old days) and randomly, mall, supermarket, car wash, or an event. You should do more outgoing stuff like that where you can talk about the mutual interest with the women at the gathering.

My colluege met his hb9 woman on a dating app their married and the perfect couple in my eyes.

I am fit and have a millions turnover business that makes me a great living. I’m also very outgoing and confident so I don’t do dating apps. I find my women on parties and like I said on the streets but if it’s necessary I get back on apps. I advise everyone to fight to be the best version of theirselves. Raise your smv always on the grind

I kind of feel embarrassed to be on a dating app because my city is small and I have a big network, so I see loads of women I either know because of festivals bars or actually talked to them or some even dated. It says something about you. Meaning your still single and have no options that you linger on apps. Like I said again if have to I would.

This CAN happen, if(As is the carr with so many of us)one pulls into himself, and we stop "putting ourselves out there". What you describe though is far from inevitable... The miracle of Meetup.com and the like gives us opportunities to expand our social circles far more easily than was the case even at the beginning of The 10s. Hell, a man can even start his own gathering of enthusiasts for any activity he so desires

Focus on expanding and strengthening your social network more generally. Meeting high quality women are an inevitable byproduct of doing so

 

[BillyPilgrim]

Gotta stay away from the shorties, Dash, they are the worst. 5'3" is my limit, under that is a no-go. Short girl (toxic) energy is a real thing.

Also the women who initiate the convo tend to be more difficult on average as well - they don't have enough dudes hitting them up or something?

 

[TheGambino]

I knew you could be funny if you wanted to. This is hilarious.

@AmsterdamAssassin are you jealous because your a weed smoking phony living in a small basement in de Jordaan? Every single word I write is the truth. You can’t and should never play yourself.

I have a big showroom 16 people working for me including salesmen and installers, i do a couple of million turnover a year and make bank lol. I have loads of crypto stocks and ordered a Cle 53 AMG. I go to the gym 4 times a week and only wear designer clothes and go to Dubai Morocco marbella every couple of months.

 

[TheGambino]

Sure you do, I believe you.

Lmfao some members here are doing so bad that they can’t believe someone has worked hard is and smart enough to live like that. Smh lol

 

[The Duke]

Yep it sucks, those apps aren't what they used to be.

Find new ponds to fish in. Thats all a man can do.

Country dance halls and concerts have been working for me. Hotter women, more of them, and less b.s. to go thru.

Sometimes my brother, life tries to take one thing away from you so you can receive new shyte.

What would you do if there were no dating apps? Roll over and die? Or go out into the trenches and make it a real scuffle ?

A man can and must be in the game untill his 60's, no excuses ( and I say that with love).

 

[BaronOfHair]

The excellent Connor Beaton offers first-rate guidance on how to do so

Not just men, but our entire nation could benefit from in-person gatherings of everyday guys, with a no-sense commitment to promoting self-empowerment. In concrete, tangible ways

Yes the apps are bull**** but you are correct that as you get older there are less and less opportunities.

There are less guys to go out with to the bars, and even there it is a bit cringey to be hanging around a "young" crowd.

I don't know what the answer is unfortunately, in person interactions are dwindling by the day.

Yup I have been banned of Hinge, Tinder and they give you no reasons I got another phone awhile ago (not for apps) and that worked for a bit, but honestly these apps are killing themselves, Men pay for 95% of the features not women.

My advice with it being summer go to

Boat/yact parties-Depending on your city they cost anywhere from $20-$100. If you planning on spending more than $50 make sure it's not some ghetto party

Country Club-worth the membership if you have money, trustfund chicks, tons of 7+s

Art Festivals-If you into artsy chicks it's a gold mine and the ratio's are 3 women to 1 men

Fashion shows-Don't go for the models go for the makeup aritst (They are just as hot or even hotter sometimes)

 

[BackInTheGame78]

Considering how poorly dating apps are doing overall now it's kinda shocking they would still be taking this heavy handed approach...

Of course, unless they are trying to cow-tow to the goodwill of women to keep them on there and basically guys are cannon fodder for them.

 

[Pierce Manhammer]

Women are the product they get to sell for zero sunken cost. They must pander to them. Imagine someone giving you an item regularly that you get to resell to imbeciles even if they never get the product's benefit. It's like going to a store that makes you pay to look at a product behind glass, with a very low possibility of interacting with it in the future. And they get to use all these behind the glass products with no investment to do the same thing to thousands of men.

Thats a cash machine right there.

I'd love to hear the conversations that take place in the Match Group corporate board rooms. I'd say they view men as expendable. They know its a 70/30 male to female ratio. Anything to protect the female and increase her numbers. If that means banning a few men for no reason, no one will notice. There will come a day that Match Group ends up like Myspace. The tide is already changing. Long term, its a sinking ship.

 

[Modern Man Advice]

Why are we talking and complaining about the same thing over and over and over again? At this point, it sounds like whining.

Nothing about "dating" apps is new. We have become a broken record about many stupid subjects. If you wanna treat it as "another dating option", that's on you but know its flaws which there are many, and stop b***ing about it. Deal with what comes with those platforms.

I am so tired of people talking and whining about the same things on this forum. It gets old and you start to wonder if you're using your time wisely by being in these forums.

Move on. Talk about something meaningful and powerful.

 

[SW15]

Art Festivals-If you into artsy chicks it's a gold mine and the ratio's are 3 women to 1 men

How receptive are art festival attendees to being approached and semi-extended conversations? Fitness classes (either as a part of a gym or a standalone studio) often have great ratios. Ratios at fitness classes are usually 2 women to 1 man and sometimes can get as high as 3 to 1 like art festivals. The problem with fitness classes is that women are not very sociable after fitness class ends. It's possible to do approaches after a fitness class but it's inefficient even with the spectacular ratios there.

True

I wonder why anyone who has been a member of this forum for more than 6 months, let alone 18yrs as OP, would still register on swipe apps.....The only real solution is to stop wasting time on those apps.

I generally agree with this. That's the reason why I deleted the swipe apps many years ago.

Swipe apps are an augment to an overall dating strategy.

I am able to see how someone would think that way. I don't see it as an augment because they are both inefficient and ineffective for the vast majority of men.

as you mature (I'm over 40) you simply don't attend house parties like in your 20s or even other social functions as much. Your social circle naturally shrinks and your overall prospects for meeting new people get far more limited.

Yes the apps are bull**** but you are correct that as you get older there are less and less opportunities.

There are less guys to go out with to the bars, and even there it is a bit cringey to be hanging around a "young" crowd.

I agree that opportunities diminish for older men. I'm also a 40+ male experiencing this. There are fewer private residence parties. As an individual man ages, so does his social circle in most instances and then the audience at a lot of these private residence parties is filled with couples and couples with children under 18.

Yes, there are less men to go to bars with. The majority of male friends/acquaintances I know aren't able to go to bars with me, which is why I primarily non-bar approach. Non-bar approaching is more acceptable to do alone as compared to rolling solo to a nightlife venue. Rolling solo to a nightlife venue isn't ideal but it is possible. I have done it but would greatly prefer to do nightlife venue game with another male.

These topics have all been covered in the ongoing thread about my primary social circle and other acquaintances.

Yesterday, I was on my Instagram and saw a pregnancy announcement from an acquaintance's wife in my social circle. I don't particularly like her. I find it annoying to be around her the 1-2 times a year I ever randomly see her in person. Right now, there are 3 women from my local area social...
