Got booted from Hinge...again.

[Solomon]

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,
Dash

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good point

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.

Pregnancy Announcements Everywhere! Life When Your Blue Pill Social Circle Starts Having Babies

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...

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.

Agree on finding new ponds. Glad to read about some of your new ponds.

In my experience they are very receptive they tend have music and booze at these things. Which makes it a fun loose atmosphere
No guy thinks to go to these things and women aren't really going to be hit on
Plus it's a certain type of woman that likes these things that I prefer i.e. quirky, eclectic personality, more open-minded etc

DO NOT GO There trying to mass approach depending on the venue and how many women are there it's best to use the sniper approach.

I agree with your suggestion on not mass approaching. Mass approaching can be done in nightlife venues, on the street/in a park (though a lot of women won't be receptive here), or possibly in a mall.

Sniper approaching is a general better method for non-bar approaching. Art festivals are non-bar approaching.

Women aren't going to fitness class to be approached and few men actually do fitness class approaches. However, most women at fitness classes are not that enthusiastic about fielding approaches after class. While most aren't rude about them, they don't seem that interested in meaningfully engaging. The fun, loose atmosphere you describe would be an atmospheric difference as compared to a fitness class, even a weekend fitness class when a typical white collar worker woman has nowhere to be in a hurry.

Yup Some of those artsy&hipster chicks, low key have some nice bodies skinny with big butts
also those chicks tend to be chill and are not as high maintenance or high strung as your club bimbo's or IG thot that Red pillers love to obsesse over

 

[AmsterdamAssassin]

are not as high maintenance or high strung

In art circles it's decidedly unattractive to care about wealth or affluence, so most artsy women are not looking at your wallet (or your Rolex and assorted status symbols).

 

[Bingo-Player]

Pretty easy to report a user on these apps

If this woman was in a bad mood she could have reported you for any number of offences

Hinge is no great loss the standard of women and the way the free side of the app is structured means you're going to have less than a 1% strike rate until you pay for premium which is a slippery slope

the apps are pretty much done now , useful perhaps if you are in a foreign country but domestically forget about it

 

[Macadellic]

Women, especially older ones, are so F'ing vengeful and spiteful

Yes they are lol
At a previous employer, an old 43 was throwing it at me and I ignored the c/nt out of her. I did not give her the time of day.
(She was super hot when younger and got all the attention even in her mid 30s)

Anyways her fragile ego couldn’t handle rejection so she went to a competitor company and took a circle of simps with her out of vindictive spite.

The company she left went on to have a historic year in profit.

lol dumb b/tch

 

[Divorced w 3]

You guys piqued my interest so I was on for a couple days two weeks ago. In three days I had a couple connections going on the free version. The connections were good but the quality of women overall was mixed, I was trying to trend the algo into the 20’s early 30’s max. My pics were a mix of active, with a couple with a woman cut out, and one shirtless and muscular.

Big difference between whining and calling out/pointing out. Know the difference.

We need alternatives. That's the whole point of such threads.
