Awesome!

Use the portrait function of your phone (if it has it) and use the main camera for better quality. Hold your camera between you and a light source, and turn your body a bit away from the camera wile keeping your head towards it for a more natural look. As others said, the result looks best if you take the picture from further away and then crop the result. I usually try to crop out my arm as well so you can’t clearly tell I made the picture myself. Take some pictures while playing around with the angle a bit and look at the results, then take more pictures with the best looking angle and repeat until you’re satisfied with the result.

It takes around an hour for me to get a good picture usually because you need to play around a bit with different angles and faces but the result is often really good. I hate taking pictures of myself but putting in the effort once every while is worth it for me.

A picture in which you smile usually does better on dating apps because it makes you seem more approachable, but a more neutral expression is also fine

Post-covid update: still sick

Now also unemployed

In my experience women are just a little bit more open minded than men because they’ve been victimised more often. So they will be a little bit more progressive while being very similar to men otherwise. Most white women will support lgbtqia+ rights and abortion, but still behave like they are superior to minority groups while acting like they care (white saviour type shit). They are slightly more class conscious than men in my experience and often anti capitalist but still oppose communism on the same grounds as any liberal. They believe in slowly changing society by voting and by encouraging the people around them to behave better.

This is from a mostly European perspective though.

Has anyone tried dipping crackers in mayo?

Am I sober because I’m sick or am I sick because I’m sober?

Doing an accidental dry January just because I’m sick

You are not being too sensitive at all and I would be careful around them. If they say those things about black people then they might have feelings about you too and being alone with a group of racist white men can be dangerous for someone who is non-white or not a man.

I used to work for an older white man (when I was underage) who used to say similar types of racist things to me as an intimidation technique (I think). The things he said would gradually grow worse until he violated me.

Personally it was a lesson for me to never be alone with someone or some people who feel ‘superior’ over another group, because they will act on it. Although the racist things he said weren’t about me, he left unsaid the he viewed me as inferior too.

How am I supposed to wash my sheets if I lay in bed all day and have no replacements??

Yeah jokes on you, I have tissues AND lotion on my desk but I DONT have pener just dry skin and a runny nose.

Lmao I still have 5 kilos of chick peas and 8 bottles of skin cream somewhere hidden in my house because I used them daily a while ago but then changed my routine

13/20 I used to fight with my ex because his parents had a picture of Winston Churchill in their house and I told him that that’s wildly inappropriate.

I hope your friend in okay because that’s a scary thing to experience.

Had a nice date today. Now I need to try to not just go for it just because it’s better than nothing

Also why is it so hard to find queer women who aren’t just ‘bicurious’ (not that being bicurious is bad, but I’d really like to find something a bit more serious)

I feel bad for men on dating apps. It’s so validating for me but at the same time none of these guys liking me are my type.

For some reasons Hinge keeps showing me straight women… terrible app. Took al of my energy today to create an account, and they show me people who live 1000s of kms away.
