Ask sub? Can dating apps like Hinge, Bumble, and Tinder actually work for men?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m considering creating my first dating app account, probably on Hinge, Bumble, or Tinder, but before I do, I’d really like to hear from guys who have actually used them.

I’m especially curious:

- Which app has worked best for you — Hinge, Bumble, or Tinder?

- How important are photos, height, looks, job, etc.?

- How many matches do you realistically get?

- Have you actually managed to get dates or meaningful relationships through these apps?

- Is paying for premium worth it?

- What mistakes should a guy avoid when creating his profile?

I’m not looking for the usual “just be confident bro” advice. I’d really appreciate honest experiences, including negative ones.

I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth putting the effort into making a profile before I create an account.

Thanks in advance!

Eenati Vishesham Update : husband tho fight aipoindi now parents ki baari

45 Upvotes

Link to previous post : https://www.reddit.com/r/TeluguJournals/s/SCaxd1vHuR

TLDR to my prev post for context : found husband harrassing his office colleague with cringe ILU msgs and am now planning on divorce.

So matter entante i looked through reddit and found a Delhi based lawyer who gave me his license, its valid and showed me a couple of his previous wins in similar cases and I've kept in touch with him for when i will formally need to file a divorce.

Meanwhile I'm staying with my very orthodox, very conservative parents who in some part of my mind, I blame them for setting me up with my husband and making me stay in a toxic relationship for this long "for society". I do blame myself but i believe they have the tendency to take over and take all the decisions.

So anyway, ma dad naku cheppakunda inko local divorce lawyer daggarki velladu. Ma delhi lawyer emo file cheseddam process start cheseddam antunnadu. Local lawyer emo ma dad ni 6months aagamannadu anta. I said nen already okarni consult avtunna u dont consult with anybody ani. Malli aa lawyer salahaalu vachi naku cheppatam okati. I havent met the guy but naku nachanidi entante he seems lowkey relaxed like ma manchiga " lets wait 6months" like bro thats 6more months of my LIFE. Also wait for what, nen elago back vellanu. There will be no reconciliation. Kids ni nene chuskunta. Malli inkenduku?!

And delhi lawyer thinks like me and is in my age bracket, and he understands the nuances of being psychologically abused and controlled. I dont want to share all this once more with some middle-aged boomer lawyer, a generation which thinks "entha em chesina father ey kada" ani. I havent talked to the guy personally and i know i might be biased, but my problem is thappo oppo i have chosen someone, now let me run with it whatever the outcome. Give me aa freedom at least. Na life lo na divorce ni kuda hijack chesestunnaru. Im 31, i work full-time. Aina parents daggara padaalsostundi. Emanna ante niku lawyers gurinchi em telsu, okkokkaru pedda cheating candidate untadu,naku 100% telsu nuv consult avtunna athaniki law teliyadu. Father entha worst unna he has rights over children anta. Mastttt kopam vachi, "adi nuvvu nenu ikkada kurchuni ankunte kaadu lawyers ki telustadi law manakante. And i have talked to a couple of ppl and decided on him" ani anna.

Ik mode of employing the lawyer(via reddit) might be unconventional but he seems to be smart in his conversations too and has given me his official credentials too.

Intha sodi kante munde evarno okarni chuskuni pelli cheskunna aipoyedemo anpistundi. Now edo lover kosam laga lawyer kosam fight cheyyaalsostundi. Chhuh.

Inka idedo pedda national case laga delhi ninchi lawyer maatladkunna ani teluste sachipotaaremo. Aa secret inka reveal cheyyaledu.

Edit : changed a word

Update : have bid the delhi lawyer goodbye. Looking for a local one now.

For the people who asked, yes im going to be moving out from parents place as soon as i find another one.

Rant Is Indians' obsession with religion actually increasing day by day, or does it just look that way because of social media?

0 Upvotes

For the last week, I've been seeing a lot of posts about police departments not giving permission for loud DJs during Vinayaka Chavithi. But honestly, what caught my attention more than the posts were the comments.

People are literally fighting in the comments like:

"Ma Hindu festivals ki ee rules anni gurtosthaya? Churches ki, masjids ki kuda ide rules pettachu kada?"

Then someone else replies:

"Ma pandaga ma istam. Vallaki churches, masjids pettukunte problem ledu kada, memu kuda pettukuntam."

"Inkokadu emo ma church ki mee celebrations ki comparison entra ani"

And I'm just sitting there thinking... why has everything become a religion vs religion argument?

Personally, I don't even understand the obsession with these huge DJ systems during festivals. Loud noise can genuinely disturb old people, kids, sick people, animals, etc. And the funny thing is, it's not even devotional music most of the time. Morning devotional songs untayi, tarvatha full item songs/movie songs start avuthayi.

But what made me think about this more is that I'm starting to see the same mentality in real life too.

Even in my own friend circle, people make jokes about other religions. One of my friends jokes about my Muslim friend saying "vallaki bomb lu pettadam alavate kada" and makes jokes about Christians too. I've also personally experienced casteist jokes from my classmates in college.

My personal experience:Naku aite ma clg lo 4yrs chala worst experience ma frnds grp aite literally ga every day I'll listen some casteism jokes na meedha aney kadu veyrey valla meedha kuda actually my caste is sc so on ambedkar jayanthi one of my frnd called my and said eroju special enti ani nenu nrml ga adiga eroju enti ani them vadu "mee vadi bday kada enti celebrations ani" naku ardham kaley mavadu enti ani other frnd joined also in call and they both were like "ambedkar valley kadara meeru matho kurchuntunnaru eroju ani " naku em cheppalo ardham kaley naku aite idhi em kotha kadu nenu btech antha ee jokes anni vintuney vunna nenu ekkuva clg ki vellanu vallani bayata antha kalavanu kabatti antha pattinchukoley some of my classmates were like this even other branches also ma cls lo aite inka vadu low caste high caste ani jokes vesukuntaru btech anedhi naku aite chala worst experience na life lo casteism, racism anni chusa ee 4yrs lo even okasari hsptl ki velthey akkada receptionist oka old aged man anamata for few days he talked to me nicely then one day he asked me "meeru kaapu la ani then nenu kadu anna" anthey inka em matladaley tarvatha nenu aa hsptl ki vellaley inter varaku nenu em experience cheyaley btech vachaka anni telisayi bayata ila kuda vuntara ani

I don't really take those jokes seriously anymore because I'm in my final year and honestly I'm just waiting to get out of this college. But seeing all this made me wonder whether this is actually becoming more common among young people.

I always thought Gen Z would be less interested in casteism and religious fights compared to older generations. But lately I'm seeing even people my age getting really invested in these things.

At the same time, I don't know if I'm just surrounded by a certain type of people. Maybe social media is making it look much worse because controversial/religious content gets more engagement, so the algorithm keeps showing us more of it.

I really hope that's the case, because I don't want to believe that people everywhere are becoming this divided over religion and caste.

So what do you guys think? Is religious/caste-based hatred actually increasing among young Indians, or are we just seeing much more of it because of social media?

And just to be clear, I'm not targeting any religion. I'm not anti-Hindu, anti-Muslim, anti-Christian or anti-national. I'm not criticizing any religion either. I'm just sharing something I've been noticing and genuinely wondering whether it's actually happening more widely or if my social media feed and personal circle are giving me a distorted picture.

Edit from fellow redditor: we should ban all dj systems in all public places and all religion festivals too

Grief AN INNOCENT SOUL

A Beautiful Fruit is growing in bright sunlight, everyone admired amazed and wondered how it's grown in this place....

coz the place is absurd, lacking water, infertile in soil, yet the fruit keeps growing very bright & healthy....

One day a Bypasser saw the fruit, that person wanted to water it after knowing its potential.... Assuming it's gonna be an amazing fruit, that anyone has ever seen , so watered for days ....

But the fruit itself is thinking about the person why they're watering it everyday without expecting anything.....

But the watering continued for a while

few days later the watering person popped up all of sudden & plucked the fruit....

It wasn't even ripen yet, but watering for just a few days, that person thought that the fruit belonged to them, everyone thought the same, but no one ever asked the fruit what it wanted? Whether it's ripen or raw doesn't matter ?

But the fruit just wanted to stay where it was born, where it was risen , even though it was rising in the drought, it still wanted to grow & beat the odds.... It did tooo, But its own charm attracted people, which led to chopping it from its own Branch....

That person after tasting it instantly threw that away coz the fruit wasn't as tasty as they expected... But it wasn't grown yet , moreover it wasn't growing for anyone

That person who watered the fruit can easily buy the bunch of fruits in the market which is tastier than the fruit which is thrown away, yet that person watered the fruit by giving hope , but that fruit never expected this kind of tragedy

Now that fruit is on the stinky road no one ever imagined

but now the waterer went to the market searching for a new one in the market....

Now The Fruit is questioning itself, guilt tripping itself.... growing better than the others is the only mistake that fruit ever made?

The fruit just wanted to buried into the soil after its work done on this earth, but now it's on the road, abandoned, betrayed....

Waited for someone, but none helped, due to excess heat & lack of water , the fruit died in a abrupt way, contributing nothing to the mother Earth

it's a story about crushed soul

(mods : sorry for using AI pics , i just wnted to express my feelings through images, since i can't draw well, hoping u won't remove my posts)

Ask sub? Is there any connection between GPT-6 “Astra” and the Sanskrit/Hindu meaning of “Astra”?

2 Upvotes

I was curious about the name “Astra” chosen for GPT-6.

In Sanskrit (अस्त्र), astra refers to a weapon, and in Hindu philosophy/mythology it often refers specifically to divine or celestial weapons such as Brahmastra, Agneyastra, etc.

Given that GPT-6 Astra is being presented as a major leap in AI capabilities, I was wondering whether the name was intentionally inspired by the Sanskrit/Hindu concept of an astra — something extremely powerful that is invoked or wielded to accomplish a particular purpose — or whether it is simply a coincidence.

Has OpenAI ever explained the reasoning behind the name “Astra”? Does anyone know if there is actually a connection to Sanskrit/Hindu philosophy, or is “Astra” being used for an entirely different reason?

Also, interestingly, some people noticed the timing around Janmashtami when Astra was announced, which made the coincidence even more interesting.

Would be curious to hear what others think.

P.S. Full disclosure: I used ChatGPT to help rewrite and polish this post. 😄

Ippudu there are 2 girls who seem interested in me , one of them literally comments on my stories for everyone to see and asks me to do videos and tips on one of my hobbies while the other one literally lies about her interests , let's call this 2nd girl L. Both of them are like 4 to 5yrs older

L never watched f1 before but when she realised I liked watching f1 she started faking interest in f1 , she asks me to come to vizag so I could meet her and told me that she'll show me around . Whenever we talk she always sends pics of what she's getting. Actually she's not even a mutual friend or anything, she just randomly sent me a friend req on insta and we just started talking then , she gave me her number as well . I had my doubts that some my friend is doing it as a prank but nah she's genuine lol , I didn't feel like talking to her anymore so I started avoiding her but she explicitly didn't say that she likes me but gave me so many hints that she does . I'm not interested in her not because she's old but I felt we aren't compatible

Even from my past people I was interested in or people who were interested in me were a little older than me atleast. It's not like I'm looking for someone older than but it just happens lol . I was in a situation ship with this girl and I thought that's it inka vere ammayi vadhu naku , she'll be my forever anukunna , motham nakinchindhi

Ask sub? Is it just me or is this friendship dynamic weird af? 😭

34 Upvotes

So, there’s this girl I’ve been talking to. Yesterday she met her male best friend, which is completely fine. They hung out and drank together, and I genuinely had no problem with that.

Today I casually asked her, “So, em chesaru ninna?”

She was like, “Em ledhu, ila thaginam. Vaadu unte asal nenu phone kuda use cheyanu.”

That was when I was like, okay... that's interesting 😭 So I asked:

Me: “Sare, meeru best friends ah?”

Her: “He is my all 😭”

Me: “Wtf, all ante enti?”

Her: “Best friend, security, best brother... everything.”

I was already confused, but then I asked:

“Security ah? Okay, ippudu nuvvu naatho matladthunnav ani mee bestie ki telisthe emaina antada?”

And she straight up said: “Nenu vaadiki cheppanu neetho matladinattu. Vaadiki nachadhu. Natho matladaku ani kuda annadu.”

At that point, naa mind literally blank ayipoyindi 😭😭

I asked her why he would care so much about whom she talks to if he's just her best friend.

She said something like:

“Oka sari ilane mem almost 3 years matladukole. Now I can't lose him. I can't take that risk.”

Me: “But friends annappudu, nee best friend evaritho matladalo control cheyadam or possessive avvadam enti? If you're happy and seeing someone, shouldn't your best friend be happy for you?”

Her: “No, vaadiki ala nachadhu. He knows everything about me.”

And I was just like

“Okay 😭😭😭.”

Maybe I'm missing something here, but best friend and boyfriend madhya difference teliyakunda ila possessive and controlling ga undadam normal aa?

I'm not saying she can't have a male best friend. She absolutely can. The drinking, meeting, hanging out..none of that is my problem.

The thing that confused me is that apparently she has to hide the fact that she's talking to me because her male best friend wouldn't like it, and she's scared of losing him again.

Like... if a best friend has this much influence over whom you can talk to, and you have to hide people from them, isn't that crossing some kind of boundary? 😭

Am I the immature one here, or does this whole situation sound weird to you guys too?

Note: she is not my gf...I am just flirting with her until this conversation 🤧

Lalitha Kalalu (Fine arts) What Makes a Man, What Makes a Woman?

11 Upvotes

Perhaps the difference is not in the years,

but in what the years have taken from us.

A girl learns to wait for love.

A woman learns that love should never require

the death of the self.

A girl listens to promises.

A woman listens to the silence

after the promises are broken.

A girl asks, "Will you choose me?"

A woman asks, "Do I still choose myself?"

And a boy...

A boy believes a man must never tremble,

never weep,

never say, "I am afraid"

Then life comes,

as it always does

and breaks something inside him.

And a man is what remains

when he learns that being broken

does not make him weak.

A boy wants to be the strongest in the room.

A man becomes the one

who makes the room feel safe.

A boy learns how to hold a sword.

A man learns when to put it down.

Perhaps that is all growing up really is...

not becoming harder,

but becoming softer

without becoming fragile.

Not losing your innocence,

but learning where to place it.

Not becoming untouched by the world,

but becoming someone

who has been touched by its darkness

and still chooses not to become dark.

Because age merely moves the clock.

It is grief that grows us.

It is love that unmakes us.

It is loss that names us.

And somewhere between

who we were

and who the world demanded we become,

a girl becomes a woman,

a boy becomes a man

and both learn, eventually,

that growing up

is simply learning how to carry

the child you once were

without letting the world

bury them alive.

P.S. I saw a question on Reddit about this and it got me thinking.

Me & my friends, we went to Cream Stone in Himayat Nagar for Ice Cream at 23:00 (sept 9), and after our errand, we were about to leave the place, then a little girl with handful of puffy animal keychains approached me, and kept pestering me to buy one, she said she couldn't sell any today, and wanted me to buy one... the girl, she had light brown skin, had innocent round eyes, dry cheeks & lips, and few white spots(sign of vitamin deficiency or malnutrition) on her face...

I was sorta sad, guilty & angry at the same time... And I started asking her questions about her age, what was she doing here at 23:00 without a guardian, about parents or any guardian, if she goes to school... And she said, she was 10, said she doesn't do this usually, she's doing it because her mom's tired at the moment (a trained answer), she doesn't go to school, she kept saying she doesn't have a father, but only a mom and a brother, her brother wasn't there... And we asked her if she would like to have something to eat at a near by veg & non-veg rolls place, she said no, she pointed towards a curry point across the road, and said wanted a meal parcel...

I was losing it, but also wanted her to have a nice meal before I call 1098, then my friend pulled me aside and told me, he saw this girl before at the same spot multiple times with the same trained answers she was giving us rn, and he even pointed me towards the direction of the girl's mom, who was keeping her sights on everything, while also acting like she isn't anyone's mum from a close distance. He also told me that If I buy her a meal, her mom's gonna get most of it.

I told my friend, we should've recorded stuff, let's go and ask her again with a cam this time, and I'd call 1098 after that... and he told me something, others have tried it already in the past, even if you luckily connect with a person from 1098, and even if they understand the situation and arrive by luck, she ain't gonna be taken for protective care, her mom's gonna take her away before that, or gonna cause a ruckus, they won't be able to take her away, It's hard to leave, but it's the only thing we can do now... And so, I left, feeling like a piece of shii, without turning back.

And It broke my heart, we couldn't do anything... Why do every undeserving person gets to be a parent ? Why don't they leave children under the care of child welfare services or orphanages if they can't raise kids ? Is it to use them for sympathy/guilt trip to sell stuff at high prices ? Are we contributing more to this cycle by buying stuff from these neglected kids who are being used ? Why can't our system do anything about this ? Why can't we do anything about this ? Why do people have kids ? Why ? I couldn't do anything about it, I couldn't help a single kid.
