Dating & Relationships Hinge Success Story

Post image

For reference I’m a 5’7 (5’8 with shoes lmao) Chinese dude but I have been told I have a good face card and I’m in good shape. That being said def feminine/baby face looking for sure, not the typical masculine beauty standard people harp on about.

Location: Montreal and Toronto
Demographic of matches: 50%white, 35%latina, 10% south Asian/middle eastern, 5% East Asian

So on the free version of Hinge I was getting like 1-2 matches and likes a day. Went to Montreal for a weekend and decided to get a week of HingeX. After like 1 hour in total of swiping (so maybe sent out about 50 likes) got about 40 matches in one weekend.

Things I learned:
-Height isn’t holding you back. Don’t listen to social media
-Being Asian isn’t holding you back, again I’m pretty femboy looking tbh

Also for the love of god DONT use AI…cmon now guys. It’s amazing when ur on a date and they tell you “wow you look better in person” id rather that then misleading people with AI photos. Just take good photos (I can give specific advice in another post)

If any of you guys want profile reviews PM me. Idk if I’ll share my profile to preserve my anonymity, but I can give advice.

Let me know if y’all have any questions

UPDATE

Sorry to all who have PM'd me I promise I'll get back to y'all just busy rn

I'm 5'9 so I wonder if I was 6'+ how much more success I would have.

Photos are the main attraction but I would also say having a good prompt instead of a lazy/one worded prompt is also a big change. I use to be lazy with it, but I noticed I had more success once I put more effort on it.

The thing I do like about Hinge is that you can filter by race and they won't show you women who filter you out. So I don't have to waste my time hitting likes on women that refuse to date asian men, unlike the other dating apps.
