So true. I noticed that with tinder. And a lot of users here delete their profiles and make new tinder profiles all the time to get bumped to the top. Cheaper than paying for boost and that.
Also, the facebook ai snoops in your other apps, such as dating ones, and uses that for the "people you might know" suggestions. So if you see a girl there for no obvious reason in the suggestions, she is in one of your apps. That works the other way, too. If you have facebook, you will be in her suggestions.

One of the reasons I never use FB or any social media apps. If I could go back to a flip phone, I would.

Also don't tie facebook to the dating apps like Tinder. If you delete Tinder but don't disconnect your FB page it will see that when you make a new account and link it. Basically just push you to the very bottom. I do NOT link my FB to anything.

Oh and another thing. Lets say you exchange numbers and text. If your number is connected to facebook you will show up as a suggestion too due to the number being linked to facebook. Simply linking your facebook to your number will give you away as well when you start texting.

I do like spydialer. When I get a number early on I will plug it in and get their last name. Then I can look them up on facebook and google.

This has saved me from land whale dates from chicks who use old photos or hide their fat.

You guys get butt hurt when you go on a date and they're 30lbs heavier. If you do some homework you will avoid wasting time and money.

Just get a free Google Voice number. Nothing could be easier. No, not really; as long as the weight is in the right places. You do realize, you are in no position to criticize any lady.. Right?

Here's your breakdown of what you offer:

Positives
=======
Good guy, a bit too nice though
Honest, a bit too honest though
Has a job; but is not killing it.

Negatives
========
Underweight
Lives with Mom at 36
No style
No real career advancement/prospects
No social circle
Cares too much about what ladies think of him.
Contacts them way too much.
Puts ladies on a pedestal.
Needs to improve himself.

Your rating = 3 - 4

You can raise to a 6 or higher, but you need a lot of work. Could it be done? Yes. Can you do it? That depends on how bad you want it. You also do not listen to dudes who are successful in life and with ladies. So, IDK what to tell you aside from work on yourself and build up your experience with ladies. That means, any lady that will f uck you, you do so (with protection). No more paying for dinners and s hit like that.

But, I digress, you will not listen and continue to b itch and moan here while many of us are getting our d icks wet. Perhaps, @Amante Silvestre and @Glassguy are correct after all.

I am trying to improve the income. I'm actually looking into having my own line of cases. I mean, that are sold on Amazon.

Secondary brands. Look up Poetic and Supcase on amazon and youtube. They're not sold in Best Buy but are sold on Amazon and their own website. They sell for about $16 to $20 for their heavy duty cases. Cases made out of TPU are dirt cheap to produce.

It's the mold that cost a couple grand to have someone using CAD to create then send the mold to China and the factory makes it.

Right now the generic cases I sell at the fleamarket cost me from $1.89 to $4.99 to buy. The $4.99 ones are like Iphone 11 pro max generic otterbox Defender.

If I have my own heavy duty case like like Supcase that's sold on Amazon which Amazon is their main selling place I'd make a killing.

I briefly had the letgo app when I was trying to sell a hunting bow, but I clicked "register with fb" and the f'ing thing drew a map to my house on my ad listing. The hell with that.

It did make me think, though. If I was trying to meet women online, swap pages on fb and apps like letgo would be super easy. A lot of them have pictures on the user profiles. It would be stealthy and under the radar...quite the opposite of the cheesy awkwardness of normal old.

In the grand scheme of things, these things I would say are total negatives.

Lives with Mom at 36
Seriously?

No social circle

This screams out in all of his posts. Total attraction killer

Needs to improve himself.
He refuses. Its much easier to just blame everything else and not put in the hard work.

But hey, there is always watching TV and eating Cheetos in his moms basement while whacking off with an orange hand I guess.

Needed something to put under positive traits. He's not yet self confident, so this is what I had to work with.

Dude... Phones will go away in a few short years as we move to wearables such as on your body.. That's one of your major flaws, you do not look five steps ahead of you. No exit strategy or next business move. You should already be on Amazon, not just "thinking" about it. What's next when this "business" will have to close up shop? It's inevitable dude. You cellphone cases are a hobby, not a business. Not trying to bring you down, but you need to get your sh it in gear. Someone has to tell you the straight dope. Though, I'd be amazed if you will listen and get things moving.

again... guys trying to help you out... and you just sidestep to the lowest and least common denominator to create your excuses.
You never actually acknowledge help nor advice... we have tried to help, but we cant save a drowning man who refuses to grab the life preserver.... yet you still cry for help.

My fleamarkets and others have cell shops that are big and is their main source of income. I want to rent a triple size booth and have a larger store. That's 1500 a month. Others say I'd be better going into a mall and renting a kiosk and being open 7 days a week instead of 3. I can't work 7 days. How would I go on OLD dates if I'm always working and I can't afford to hire a full time person. I could sit my mom there while I go out.

Okay, I did a hybrid between MrWood's advice and RicktheToad. How does this sound?

I’m a very outgoing and active individual who owns a successful business. Overall you can say that I’m outgoing, intelligent, kind, and adventurous. I’m big on the outdoors especially fishing, being physically active and a huge sports fan (St. Louis Blues especially) and love to explore and visit new places.

So if you’re intelligent, funny and want to take a chance and find out more then lets chat
:)

I think it would be wise to find another profession. I make more than that in a few days of work; and I'm 2 years older than you.

That's weak and horrid. Screams desperation and seeking approval from the ladies. How is that even close to what I wrote?

These are the two profiles I used before the current one which these were getting me better results.

I'm a professional who’s active, outgoing, and hardworking who's looking for that special someone with similar interest as mine to enjoy life with! I'm a career driven individual who owns a business which is very rewarding hard work, but the schedule allows me to have free time when I want it, plus provides me with a nice living.

I love to be active and go different places, travel, see new things, dine out and overall just be active and enjoy life. I love the SWFL weather that allows me to be outside most of the year without freezing my arse off. I'm a St. Louis, Missouri native so I'm a diehard St. Louis Blues and Cardinals fan. I held season tickets for many seasons with the Blues and absolutely love attending pro sporting events, especially hockey and baseball. I don’t mind people who are fans of rival teams or even Bruins fans :) Ok, just had to add that one since the Blues won the cup hehe.

Finally, intellect, kindness, humor, integrity are what I value most in a person and find the most attractive traits in an individual. People who are snobby and look down on others who are less fortunate are big turnoffs.

Oh, and a pretty smile really stands out too :)


I’m an adventurer and professional who’s active, outgoing, caring and looking for that special someone to share my life with. Being positive, setting goals and being motivated are big factors I live my life by. I own my own business which is hard work but rewarding at the same time and allows having free time and flexibility when I want it and provides me with a decent living.

I’m a very active person and love to be out and about seeing new things around the area, dining out, traveling, being outdoors, and staying physically active. I love the warm SWFL weather that allows me to be active year round outside and expect my partner to enjoy the same.

I love sports and being from St. Louis I’m a big Cardinals fan and an even bigger St. Louis Blues fan. I love attending baseball and hockey games in general. I was a Blues season ticket holder for years when I lived in St. Louis.

I value intellect, kindness, humor, and integrity to be the most attractive traits in an individual.
