I’m not going to lie, I used to have no faith in dating apps. I thought that all the people I found on Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble were all people I could never click with in real life. But then I did it. My friend and I took the jump. We downloaded a dating app and tried to come up with funny answers to Hinge prompts to make my profile the best it could be. What started off as a joke, slowly turned into something that made us excited. We looked forward to showing each other the guys we matched with and the conversations that were started.
We giggled as we made each other’s accounts, choosing the hottest pictures of us and creating the most ridiculous responses to the Hinge prompts that would be on our profiles. We hoped to find someone who could match our silly energy and find someone that we could be authentic with: We wanted to find someone who would encourage us to delete the app.
Hinge prompts are like interview-based questions that make things a little more interesting than a generic bio with your name and age. All prompts have a 150-character limit so the answers should be short and clever. You can even use a voice prompt but the point is to show off what makes you, you: uniqueness is key. So, if you’re looking to beef up your profile, here are 36 Hinge prompt answers to add to your profile.
Oh, and PS, some of these are actually from my Hinge feed and are the perfect way to get into someone’s DMs. Jussayin’.
“Dating me is like…”
Be transparent and give a glimpse into what it is like to be with you.
“Reading a really good book…but you’re dyslexic.”
“Having TSA Pre-Check.”
“You know that feeling of closing dozens of Chrome tabs after finishing your last final before a holiday.”
“Finding a pair of jeans that fit perfectly on the first try.”
“My Most Irrational Fear”
From heights to clowns, this is a great place to talk about your fears.
“Finding out I’m allergic to food while eating it.”

“It’s illegal to own one guinea pig in Switzerland because they get lonely.”
“Water is not wet.”
“Aliens invaded the moon on July 20th, 1969.”

“Brunch should never be before 1 p.m.”
“It’s acceptable to eat a tomato like how you eat an apple.”
“A morning person can never be trusted.”
“Together, We Could…”

“Cook a nice dish and drink a bottle of wine.”
“Rule the world.”
“Be like when oxygen and magnesium get together… because people will be saying OMg.”

Overall, Hinge prompts allow you to showcase yourself, your passions, and what you are looking for. Successful prompt responses should show a bit of your humor and vulnerability. Don’t be afraid to be genuine. These are the perfect way to kick-start conversations with matches. Dig deep. Good luck!

Had an idea that popped up in my mind that I really wanted to make but I suck at drawing lol. This story is inspired by the mangas 'Play It Cool, Guys', 'Koi Ni Mudaguchi', and 'Nijiiro Days'
Boyband Bootcamp Genre(s): Comedy, School Life, Slice Of Life, Romance, Music
Plot: An aspiring singer-songwriter attempts to recruit a few guys to form their own independent boyband in highschool. From there, he teams up with four interesting characters that will decide his fate. From stories about friendship, hard work and love, these boys partner up to try and see what life looks like as an idol.
Band name: Delight
Band members:
Kentaro Matsui: Kentaro is the leader, founder and lead vocalist of Delight at Class 1-D. Considered an all-rounder, he co-writes, co-produces and edits videos for the group. Affectionately called Ken by his bandmates, he is an aspiring singer-songwriter who dreams of forming his own boyband, ultimately making a poster on his school bulletin board to recruit members for the band. He has an ick for record labels as they don't allow creative control, opting to make music independently for himself and his bandmates. He originally wanted to create the band based off of a Western TV show he watched growing up called Big Time Rush, ultimately igniting his passion for boybands and also once hosted his own YouTube channel where he posted covers of popular songs and even released a couple of originals which were co-produced by Moriya. He is oblivious to Miyu's attraction to him. He is the straight-man of the group, ultimately trying to ease the tension between the members and looks for solutions within their problems but sometimes he butts heads with Naoki when it comes to creative control within the band.
Shuzo Moriya: Shuzo is the sub vocalist, producer, and vice leader of Delight in Class 1-D and is Kentaro's childhood best friend and next door neighbour. As stated earlier, he is the primary producer for the band, as he knows to not only sing, but can create instrumentals of any genre through his computer. Often considered as cold, quiet, mysterious and non-confrontational, Kentaro had to beg him to join his band and Shuzo had no desire to partner up at first, but reluctantly agreed. However, he began warming up to his bandmates, although he is unable to show his appreciation to them. He has a rather deep voice, which makes the listeners get a chill down their spine. He is the only member to not have writing credits on their first track, but was credited alongside Ken for the production.
Naoki Noguchi: Naoki is the main vocalist and the third member to join Delight. He is a playboy, as he loves to fool around with girls and their hearts. His original intention of joining the band was to impress the ladies and make them fawn over him. Kentaro was originally reluctant because of Naoki's intention, but he proved him otherwise, showcasing his strong vocal presence which was a natural talent he used to win girls over, making him the member who gets the most parts in the band. He also has an inferiority complex, often at odds with Kaichi, the most popular member of the group in terms of popularity and looks. Of everyone in the band, he is the only one in his second-year in Class 2-A. Alongside the rest of the band, he helps co-write the music by implementing themes of cool and cute as a subgenre to their lyrics, while also longing for more creative control.
Kaichi Uesugi: Kaichi is the lead vocalist and visual of Delight in Class 1-B. Son of a business corporate, Kaichi gained fame through his school for his looks, maturity and smarts. He originally wanted to enroll in a public school to understand the life of normal people, despite his father wanting to send him to private school. Despite his maturity, however, he is secretly an idol-obsessed otaku who worships idols and wishes to be like one, ultimately making him sign up for the band when he saw the poster on a bulletin board to the surprise of others. He is responsible for covering the costs of the band by renting a warehouse for their music video and providing a dance studio to practice the choreography through his father's money in his home. Kaichi is considered the most popular and best looking member of the group, much to Naoki's chagrin. He is also responsible for bringing attention to the band, simply by promoting himself and his bandmates. He also helps the band practice facial expressions to help them snatch the hearts of girls. Finally, he and Tony are the dance leaders of the band while also helping the others in co-writing their first song.
Hanwen 'Tony' Wu: Preferably called Tony, Hanwen is a Chinese boy from Class 1-C who is the sub vocalist and choreographer of Delight. Much like Kaichi, he is also an otaku albeit in the anime community, especially in the genre of romance. He moved to Japan at the age of 13 through his father's job and quickly began studying its culture and learning the language, ultimately making him a weeaboo. As stated before, he is the choreographer of the band, as he posseses a skillful dance résumé, having won a few dance competitions as a kid growing up in China. He originally intended to join the band to not only sing, but to also provide dance to appeal to their audience, ultimately making him the dance leader, because 'you can't be a proper boyband if you don't have the moves'. He is eccentric, fun-loving and optimistic, and loves to play cupid for his bandmates when they get entangled in their love story. He helps create the steps and helps them practice alongside Kaichi in the lead up to their debut in the Culture Festival. Like the rest of the band excluding Moriya, he helped co-write their first ever single. He also has a long-distance girlfriend that he's been dating since he was 11.
Miyu Aoyama: Miyu is a classmate of both Kentaro and Shuzo at their high-school in Class 1-D. She has a huge crush on Kentaro, and has been silently aiming for him since middle school. She's a little shy and timid, but is also confident within herself. Miyu was hired as a "manager" for the band by Kentaro, and she used this opportunity to get closer to him. Despite not doing much for the band, she has a soft spot for the boys as she can see how much they care for each other. However, she is their social media manager so at least she has something to do.
Ena Miyagi - Ena is a second-year student at the band's highschool and is Naoki's childhood friend. She strongly detests Naoki's playboy personality, often taking responsibility for the actions Naoki does to the girls. However, she has held a secret crush on him for years and has wondered when he will wake up to his senses. She is the music video director for the band, as she has her own camera, and also takes pictures for them for their "promotional matters".
Honoka Kitagawa - Honoka is a shy and lonely student in Class 1-D. She has zero confidence in herself and believes she won't get to experience her ideal life as a student. The only thing she is confident in was in music production, her hobby, by posting music under the stage name 'KitaHono'. She signed up for a Delight Remix competition that the band posted online to a music forum, and took it as an opportunity, unbeknownst to her classmates. She has a secret crush on Shuzo, as she observed his passion for music production as well.
Zhang Xiaoyou - Xiaoyou is Tony's long distance girlfriend from China. They've been dating since they were in elementary school and Tony dearly misses her. She was mistaken by the members as a family member of Tony's and were shocked to find out that she was actually his girlfriend. She is unaware of Tony's otaku obsession.
Chizuru Takayashi - Chizuru is a student in Class 1-B who is a good-looking gyaru. She has a soft spot for boybands and has supported over 15 boybands. She is a self-proclaimed number one fan of 'Delight', even though they haven't debuted yet, and has expressed excitement over their upcoming performance. She is Kaichi's type, as he describes her as 'refreshing' and 'pretty', mainly because she looks like an idol.
Their music will be based on the boyband 'August Moon' from the movie 'The Idea Of You'. Let me know what you think! This was a stupid idea that had a lot of plot potential XD

I've got everything it takes to be a good friend. Kind ear and shoulder to cry on, an easy going person that gets along with most people well enough, and a sense of humor so hilarious that my cat has not once complained about my jokes!
A few things that I like:

• Music - Stuff that could fall under the punk umbrella for the most part
• Movies - mostly horror, and comedy
• Pets - feel free to spam me with pictures of your pets, or talk about your pets constantly

As you can see by now, we'd probably get along swell. So if you'd be interested in getting to know one another, talking about the days, sharing memes and pet pictures, bullshitting or something, shoot me a message.

harper is ur usual nihilistic immortal gal who kinda just hangs around people who need her so that she has a bit of entertainment. she has a habit of letting all of her friends live at her place since there’s enough room, and she only has 4 so it’s fine. one of them is a kid who she watched grow up and kinda adopted as her little sister. the others she just kinda helps with sewing clothes or repairing stuff since they’ve been banned from most stores in the area, or when their not hanging out she just talks them through some troubles. though she’s still a dangerous person who’s obviously going insane from being immortal. she isn’t old but she’s been in too many situations where she would’ve been dead but she just isn’t, so once a month she kinda snaps and it probably ends up with a building set on fire..
anyways im so curious about this

This is an old story, but thinking back on it, I don't know if what happened was right.
My dad and I stopped having a good relationship around the time that I reached puberty (11) and this incident was one of the reasons. We also never had much time together and whatnot but it was mostly because of the following story.
When I was 11(F), my dad used to try to spend time with me a lot to get closer with me. As I mentioned, I got my period when I was 11 and started getting really conscious of my body and stuff and I was more awkward than usual because of these new changes in my life. My dad was really big on physical touch and that was his way of trying to connect with me. I on the other hand do not really enjoy physical touch beyond hand-holding and hugging and only do that with people I feel very close with. When we spent time together, he would make me hug him, hold his hand, and kiss him on the cheek which I did even though I didn't really want to.
Then he put his hand on my upper thigh, which made me extremely uncomfortable. I told him I didn't like it and removed his hand but he put it back and got mad at me. This happened for a few days before he stopped doing it, but after this, I became very uncomfortable with him touching me at all. I don't know if I'm overreacting and I didn't think much of it back then except that it gave me weird vibes and I hated it.
Also, this is not really related, but my dad started treating me very differently since I hit puberty. He would lose his temper at me for random things and always power trip me whenever I didn't do things the exact way he wanted me to. Even now, when I wear slightly revealing clothes, he has to point it out. I wore leggings one time and he told me not to wear it because he could see the shape of my legs. Am I over reacting or is my dad weird? And how should I try to mend our relationship because it's never been the same since then?

Very Hot take that probably makes no sense:
I liked Lucifer at first. But the more we see of hell and how he is in Hazbin, the more I dislike him so much. Hes my least favriote character in hell and hes the king of hell. Even if he's an angel, he's the first fallen angel who's pride was his down fall. People say Lucifer being evil is overdone and him being kind is new but I disagree. I would of definitely prefered an evil lucifer. He's a useless ruler who gets pused around by sinners. The picture in the pilot made Lucifer appear as an active intimidating leader.

Why is it a thing?
I don't know, but I believe this behaviour comes from our nature, because how come guys around the world engage in it? Human brain plus a camera, not a trend, a biological conclusion.
Fuck, imagine, alright?
Imagine you're a dude that has nothing going on apart from a beautiful perfect dick and bountiful balls, your best quality is your endowment, it isn't that you're poor or stupid, but nature gifted you like nothing else.
Why the fuck wouldn't you open with your best side when looking for a mate?
It's honest AF, and it takes guts to send it, reveals a lot about you and can decide relationship incompatability in 5 seconds.
Are you clean, healthy, what's your size, how good can you frame a picture, set up lighting, how your hands look, do you have any bedsheet game?
You know how many flakey unwashed dicks there are?
Fucking millions.
And you're proving that you're not one of them just like that.
The net is filled with thirstbait and our gooning humanity will never be the same, everything is sexualized and I've most likely nut more and saw more naked women than all my ancestors combined.
Little kids are being subjected to elsagate and a grown ass woman can't handle a piece of vital information that only helps natural selection?
We are not in Kansas anymore.
This is only a fair reaction to it, and you're only complaining because you saw low effort, shitty quality pics sent with no sense of timing in a conversation, for which dudes SHOULD get filtered out.
If I were to apologise for anything on this topic, I would apologise for my people not sending better dick pics.
I know for a fucking fact a good pic can send her salivating.
Too long have we been shamed for our genitals being ugly, dicks can be beautiful.
With great power comes great responsibility, put some effort and thought into this seemingly gooner creep gesture, it gets a lot of bad rep for a good reason, but I believe it has a place.
If you're ever going to send one, do yourself and your dick some justice and do it right, he deserves a red carpet, not some flashlit piss splashed toilet floor.
Happy mens health month, may you find yourself sexy in the eyes of your desires.
It can be done.

1) No one deserves to be bullied. 2) Nothing NSFW. 3) Stick to SFW. 4) No arguing in the comments of ones post. 5) You can ask for some Art Ideas. 6) Go to Admin and Mods if you have a problem, pms are allowed. 7) You can sell, trade or make your adoptables free. 8) Do not trade NSFW things, such as pics of one self or inappropriate art. 9) Do not ask an artist who is selling a adoptable to be your sugar baby. 10) This is not a dating Community so do not ask to date people here. 11) Make it clear what you are selling, how you are selling it (selling, trading or free), how much and where someone can pay you at. Please provide a HD picture(s) to the buyer. 12) If a fight occurs in pms screenshot the whole conversation and send to Admin or Mods. 13) Rules may be changed in the future if anything occurs to warrant the need of their changes.

Today I went to the mall to buy some clothes and a book I want, and oh my god it was terrible. For some reason, going to a place with a bunch of people makes me extremely uncomfortable. I wasn't even shy or feeling judged, I just didn't like the feeling of sharing the space with people I don't know and having to communicate with them just made me so tired, and the noise of people talking was horrible. I went back home and I was so tired that all I could do was go to bed at 5pm and sleep. All I did was buy a book and 3 shirts.

I think “my simple pleasure” is the best prompt. If used right it’s a good way to say things you like. For example mine was- thrift stores, new tattoos, Philly sports and R&B. Really depends how you write it
As a woman, I’d advise men not to use “I won’t shut up about,” as a prompt.
Woman constantly complain about men dominating verbal conversations. Saying you “won’t shut up about…” just reinforces that you might be one of those guys.
I think if you actually have a good travel story, that prompt can work. That is to say, I think that the "tiers" really fluctuate a lot from person to person, and your qualifiers ("this works if you're funny") are kind of proof of that.
For example, I have two pretty good stories about coming face to face with sharks, and one less good story about coming face to face with a shark. I think that the shark thing is just crazy enough that it intrigues most people. But you have to have a genuinely good story for it to work.
Also, someone else said they need to get rid of prompts - I disagree. It's really annoying if you try a new prompt and then can't go back to your old one.
I think “my idea of a good Sunday” is a great prompt bc if guys include it and they say “church,” I’m 95% more likely to like them.
THERE'S AN ART to curating your Hinge profile. If you're looking for quality matches, don't be the guy with a barren profile who sends a mildly-enthused "hey, how's it going" to every potential partner. Hinge offers a feature called prompts: conversation starters that let you show yourself off and spark more substantive conversations—and you should use them to your advantage.
Choosing the right Hinge prompts—and writing good answers those prompts—will help you scan the many fish in the sea to find those most suited for you. It might sound like a daunting task to craft the perfect profile, but at least you're an expert in the subject matter: you.
Best Practices for Crafting Your Hinge Prompts
Having an air of mystery may seem hot in movies, but it's just a waste of time in real life—especially when it comes to dating apps, where determining what's real and what's not is so much more difficult than it is in person. "Being coy may seem like a safer way to interact on apps, but it doesn't yield fruitful results," Engle says. (No one's swiping right on a bio that says "I suck at writing bios.")
So nix those coy answers and get specific when you fill out your Hinge prompts. The more specific you get, the likelier you are to match with people that are similar to you. That means you'll really have to think about yourself and want you want.
Be specific when discussing what you're looking for, too. Vagueness won't help narrow your options. For example, don't just say you're looking for "someone with a lot of personality" (is anyone not looking for someone with a personality?); say you're looking for "someone with a lot of energy, and who enjoys being active and trying new things" (or whatever that personality looks like to you). Be honest, both with yourself and in your profile. Don't say you're "super into the gym" because you want someone with a six-pack, when in reality you haven't been to gym in six months and have no intention of starting again.
Add a variety of prompts to paint a full picture of yourself. If all of your prompts are jokes, that doesn't reveal a ton about you. But, if all your prompts are serious, you might come off as a little intense—and you won't be revealing much about your day-to-day life.
The 20 Best Hinge Prompts to Help You Get You a Response
Here are 20 Hinge prompts to get you off the apps and into real relationships.
I'll pick the topic if you start the conversation...
Starting a conversation isn't easy, and with this prompt, you're meeting them halfway. It creates less of a barrier to entry for the person doing the messaging. Pick a topic you're interested in or care about, and "be as specific as possible," Engle says.
What you can say:
The best bands to come out of the 90's.
The worst holiday traditions.
The best and worst concerts you've seen.
The last time I cried happy tears was...
"Consider the things that really make you YOU," Engle says. Mentioning things you care about "will allow you to engage with like-minded people who share similar likes and interests."
What you can say:
When they showed Jason Kelce ripping his shirt off at Travis's touchdown against the Bills.
At the closing scene of All of Us Strangers.
When I PR'ed my back squat (the boys didn't see).
The one thing I'd love to know about you is...
It's always nice to see someone on a dating app be interested in you, even if they haven't seen you yet. Put that energy out there with this prompt. People might feel more comfortable responding when it's something about them, since they know themselves the best. Find a topic that's important to you, and let your potential match take it from there.
What you can say:
What would you do for a living if money weren't a factor?
What's your go-to coffee shop order?
Were you a Nickelodeon or Disney kid?
Let's make sure we're on the same page about...
The great thing about this prompt is you can make your answer as lighthearted or as serious as you want. If you have something that's a deal-breaker for you (like wanting an open relationship), you can insert that here. It also works if you have something a little less serious that still plays a role in your life (like putting pineapple on pizza) and you want to get that out there.
What you can say:
Not wanting kids.
The ending of Game of Thrones.
The shape of Earth.
This year, I really want to...
This prompt is an excellent way to open up potential first date options, or show how you want to work on yourself in this upcoming year. Want to get more creative, more fit, or try something new? Maybe someone out there wants to do the same—and wants a partner to do it with.
What you can say:
Try a ceramics class.
Drink less.
Find the best burger in town.
I'm looking for...
If you already know what you're looking for, you may as well lay it all out there. That being said, don't nit-pick or be judgmental in your answer. Don't be too vague either, or you won't narrow down your options for people best suited to you.
What you can say:
Someone who will get along with my family.
Someone comfortable with being in an open relationship.
A good time, not a long time.
My simple pleasures...
You're probably looking for someone with similar interests as you (at least, we hope you are). "Prompts serve as conversation starters, so consider your interests, hobbies, and skills and lead with those," Engle says. Odds are someone shares them with you.
What you can say:
The smell of fresh cut grass.
When Debbie from marketing brings in banana bread.
Open sunroofs.
I go crazy for...
Another easy way into talking about the things you like—but make sure it's something you can carry conversation on. "Focus on answers that you can go into detail on," Engle says. "Talk about interests, hobbies, and goals outside of romantic relationships to give potential partners a full picture of the person you are."
What you can say:
Planning my next trip before the one I'm on has even ended.
Barry Keoghan. Obviously.
Reruns of Pimp My Ride.

You should leave a comment if...

This is another way to discuss what's important to you, with a call to action for the other person. You can pull in your hobbies, hopes for the future, or interests—the world is your oyster here. But remember: specifics, specifics, specifics (don't just put down "you like sports").

What you can say:

• You were hoping for a Ravens versus Bills Super Bowl.
• Your Spotify daylist often includes the term "mallgoth."
• You're on the dance floor all night at the club.

A shower thought I recently had...

Balance your prompts by throwing in a lighter option here and there. A shower thought is a great way to show off your humor and how your mind works. Get creative.

What you can say:

• Could really use a beer in here.
• Whose Line Is It Anyway needs a reboot.
• Is Punxsutawney Phil doing okay mentally?

Green flags I look for...

Get a little deeper into what you're looking for in your person by hinting at characteristics you want to see in someone. It's better to be open and honest about what you're looking for in a potential partner then have to do the dirty work of talking to a bunch of people only to find out you don't actually see a future with them.

What you can say:

• Funny conversation, but can get deep, too.
• Tipping 20 percent, always.
• Emotional support water bottles. Here for the hydration.

We're the same type of weird if...

Have some nuance interests that you want to get out there? Here's your chance.

What you can say:

• You're hitting up the Renaissance fair every time it comes to town.
• You're the person everyone wants on their trivia team.
• You enjoy 5Ks on Thanksgiving, too.

I hype myself up by...
Everyone gets nervous when it comes to online dating. Confidence is hot, but most of us aren't 100-percent confident all of the time, and that's okay. This shows you're nervous, too, but can hype yourself up when need be.

What you can say:

• Blaring some hard rap.
• Power posing.
• Hitting the gym.

I feel most supported when...

Dating app prompts aren't all about making the right joke or being overly funny. You'll want to layer in some real prompts, too, to show potential partners you can get deep. This prompt is a great way to do that without getting too vulnerable before you're ready. Plus, it reveals a little bit about what you want out of a relationship.

What you can say:

• My partner help around the house.
• There's healthy communication.
• My family and friends support my work.

A fun fact about me is...

An oldie but a goodie. To mix in a lighthearted prompt with some deeper ones, stick with what you know and toss in your go-to fun fact from freshman seminar in college. Don't over think the "fun" part—just pick something you think is unique about yourself!

What you can say:

• I've been cage diving with sharks.
• I speak four languages.
• I never lose in Mario Kart. Ever.

Teach me something about...

Want to learn something new and find a partner at the same time? This is also a great way to show an interest in potential partners by making your answer something related to them. Like we said, people are always more comfortable talking about themselves because it's the one thing they know everything about. People love talking about their passions... maybe someone out there has the same one as you. This is a great way to find out.

What you can say:

• The Roman Empire
• Your ick list
• What you want to see in a partner

I know the best spot in town for...

Hate the phase of online dating where you message back and forth forever and never actually get to a first date? Us, too. This prompt can help speed up that process by getting you out of the app, and meeting in person. Suggest something you'd want to do for a first date.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

What you can say:

• $5 happy hour Miller Lites.
• VPR watch parties.
• Live music.

First round is on me if...

Another prompt that gets you out of the app and right into the first date. Plus, you can pose a characteristic you really want to see in a partner: a win-win. PSA though: If it translates, you do actually have to pay for the first round.

What you can say:

• You love a Dadbod.
• You also cried when My Chemical Romance broke up.
• You're okay with my dog joining us.

My typical Sunday...

This gives a little snippet into your every day life. You're probably looking for someone who lives a similar lifestyle to you (if you're a "sleep until the afternoon every weekend" kind of guy, you're probably not looking for a "6 a.m. half marathon on a Saturday" kind of girl), and this is a great way to give them that insight.

What you can say:

• Rearranging all my furniture...again.
• Hitting the snooze button relentlessly.
• A walk with the dogs, football with the guys, and meal prep.

Give me travel tips for...

Have a trip coming up? Hit two birds with one stone: get some travel recommendations and start up a conversation with a potential special someone. It's an easy entry to talking, and you can quickly branch to "well, where else have you traveled to recently?" Even if you just put down your neighborhood—there's nothing like a little stay-cation.You should leave a comment if...
This is another way to discuss what's important to you, with a call to action for the other person. You can pull in your hobbies, hopes for the future, or interests—the world is your oyster here. But remember: specifics, specifics, specifics (don't just put down "you like sports").

What you can say:

• You were hoping for a Ravens versus Bills Super Bowl.
• Your Spotify daylist often includes the term "mallgoth."
• You're on the dance floor all night at the club.

Balance your prompts by throwing in a lighter option here and there. A shower thought is a great way to show off your humor and how your mind works. Get creative.

What you can say:

• Could really use a beer in here.
• Whose Line Is It Anyway needs a reboot.
• Is Punxsutawney Phil doing okay mentally?

Green flags I look for...

Get a little deeper into what you're looking for in your person by hinting at characteristics you want to see in someone. It's better to be open and honest about what you're looking for in a potential partner then have to do the dirty work of talking to a bunch of people only to find out you don't actually see a future with them.

What you can say:

• Funny conversation, but can get deep, too.

• You enjoy 5Ks on Thanksgiving, too.

I’ve yet to find a nuanced discussion about “privacy”. It’s usually a bunch of people complaining about consent and their “data” being used to profit. And then when people push back on it they’ll say something like “okay what’s your social security number?” “What’s your home address?”
To me this feels like an enormous reach, and it makes me wonder what do people actually care about in terms of privacy?
I won’t be giving out my social security number because it can be used to create accounts in my name and steal my money, or impersonate me and cause me legitimate trouble.
But if some company sees that I clicked on a website about the best house cleaning robot, or that I like hot cross buns. Why would I care if companies know that? If someone wants to show me something about something I’m interested in shouldn’t I want to see it?
Wouldn’t it be better than getting ads about stuff I don’t give a shit about?
And social media and search engines have their whole business model around ads, and so does YouTube.
So to me it seems like they’re really saying “I want to pay money for all these things I get for free because I don’t want to see ads about things that I am interested in”
It also feels anti-small business because people are wanting to make advertising more difficult, therefore making it harder for small businesses to succeed while big corporations still rake in huge profits.
I’m pretty sure we can have a world where our “actually private” data like social security numbers and emails are protected while still allowing companies to see that we like cooking.
Maybe I’m just bias because I have a business and using ads helps me survive.
So… what data do you want private? And what would you be willing to share in an ideal world?
Edit: I ask here because we’re all advertisers. So we’re on both ends and may have a more holistic view on the matter.
Edit 2: I’ve seen some people complain about being accused as criminals, like when some dad took pictures of his toddler and sent them to a doctor, or the guy that “looked like the criminal”, but these cases sound like it’s a case of mismanagement or lacking appropriate functionality to handle those situations rather than actual privacy issues.

Looking for fellow 18+ roleplayers/gamers to join me in Origins of Sin, an adult high fantasy/dark roleplay world in Second Life.
Origins of Sin is set in the world of Sincadere, where humans were gifted magic by the gods with a solemn decree to use it wisely. However, as the gods withdrew, chaos ensued, leading to the Great Cataclysm. Now, in the year 2149 A.o.S, we find ourselves in a world of fractured kingdoms, powerful factions, and untamed magic. (For general purposes the year "1400" is the cutoff for technology which has a real life parallel.)
Second Life is free 3D game that is loaded with freebies to create the perfect character, you can purchase items too if that is your thing. You can even rent a place to live and decorate it.
The combat system uses a Dice Combat HUD, combining text-based roleplay with in-world objects and characters.
All fantasy races and creatures are welcomed. Examples: Humans, Elves, Weres or anthropomorphic, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins, Trolls, Fae, Satyrs, Animals, etc. Just no gods, sci-fi, or licensed characters (sorry, no Cloud or Gandalf!).
Medieval, fantasy, and gorean attire is welcome. No Sci-Fi or modern clothing.
When we're writing, most people usually go for about 1~3 paragraphs. It can vary depending on how the scene is developing. One-liners can be tricky to work with since having more content really helps to engage. Most tend to write in the third person to keep the narrative seamless.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned roleplayer, everyone is welcome!
Interested? Message me, and I can help you get started. ❤

Im researching it right now. Was driving on the highway, my teeth started vibrating so i pulled over and called my mom, she didn't answer, and then my whole body started to vibrate, and before i knew it my hands were pinned to my chest and i was on the phone with 911. Thank god for Siri, there was no chance i could've dialed. My hands looked exactly as this person https://imgur.com/a/ayF83 posted a picture of, and circulation was totally cut off there. I couldn't move shit . barley could move my mouth. im still so discombobulated typing this its been a few hours. I'm kind of confused. read some other people's testimony and they all said they could not breathe, but i was totally fine on breathing. very convineietyly my chest wasn't feeling tight, my nostrils were wide open, and my breathing was very good. that honestly was probably the difference of me not having to get in the ambulance. i as able to clearly speak to the 911 operator. told them the mile marker i was at, what my car looked like, but i did at one point believe i was going to pass out. I wanted to pass out, and just wake up in a bed feeling better, but after closing my eyes for a minute or so i felt alert enough to communicate again. by the time state troopers got there i could move my legs so i used my foot to unlock the door. talked to them for a bit and i slowly but surley started to get my extremeties back. i talked to the paramedics and all them nah i dont do narcotics nah idont be on nictine nah i didnt smoke weed today (even though i told tem im coming from my frinds house sounded so sus) if i wasn't a clean looking 18 year old they would've thogut i was a tweaker. within like half an hour my mom had picked me up bc i called her and my dad. ultimatley i was okay. it's just strange. I don't have a history with anxiety, but the things that lead up to it are thiings that have happened often before. I'm about 99% that too much caffeine intake caused this. all my life since i started using caffeine (im not a daily user) ive been very careful about it. like no more than 180mg in a day thats the MAXIMUM. but today i went to starbucks in the morning with my girlfriend, i got a 16oz mocha frappe whcih i searched it up it has like 110 mg caff and then later in the day since i was driving so much and was getting tired i had a celcius (200mg caffeine) but had not been eating nearly enough. just one full meal. So yeah, sorry if this is the wrong sub for this since i don't have too much of a history with anxiety besides jittering when i need to focus, but i figure people like me in the future would be glad to find this post if they're searching on google like i was. i am a little nervous about getting in a car again. I've cancelled anything for the next few days that involves driving over like 20 mins. thanks for reading and any advice/tips/shared experiences would be appreciated!!!! PS - I forgot to mention what was going on before my tetth atrted vibrating and stuff.. i was having random moments of panic because i kept feelign randomly spacey. like i would take a breath and just forget to breathe out for too long and then exhale and just feel freaked out. that just kep happening until it all unfolded.

It should be this simple. We are both single and if we have common interests and desires we chat and connect and try. I’m seeking someone who has a sense of humor, and enjoys witty banter, has a big heart and caring with regard to others, how you treat that server, or cashier matters to me.. A lot.
Age is not a huge deal but I prefer that you are younger than me, send a current picture of you, get mine in reply. End of the day, the person > the picture or anything else above all though. Im 6’0 and about (195-205 ish) FWIW.
I love to travel and I am into photography and writing and movies/theater. Also enjoy cooking and baking and I am 420 (edible) friendly but don’t really drink alcohol or smoke.

Platinum End Theory: Who Is God And Those Mysterious Beings In The Finale Explained

DISCLAIMER: This theory will go over the entire story of Platinum End, so obvious spoilers ahead. Just a heads up, this theory is posted at the time that only a few episodes of the anime have been released. Depending on how much the anime stays like the manga, details may end up changing. Therefore, the entire theory will be based solely on the manga. I will also leave snippets of the manga with the highlighted text to support my claim. Please be sure to read those as it will help this theory make sense. This theory is completely my own original thoughts. If anyone shares this, please be sure to credit me, Muphenz. Thanks!Hello, my fellow Platinum End fans! If you’re like me, the ending completely caught me off guard and left my head-scratching. Do not worry! I’ve overanalyzed everything and made a theory to possibly explain who god and those beings at the end of the story are, so you don’t have to. Those beings at the end of the manga, chapter 58, are drum roll…humans of the future who have achieved many scientific advancements who existed well before the story of Platinum End takes place and are simulating their own world with fake humans, fake angels, and a fake god. Why are the real humans running this simulation? Simply put, they’re suicidal and no amount of therapy is going to help with that. Why are they wanting to die? In the future, it is predicted by Gaku Yoneda that within 500 years, humans will achieve immortality. Once they achieve immortality, they will eventually master time and space and will be able to do things like teleport, time travel, see the future, etc. And once humans achieve immortality and are able to know all of the future, they will discover that the future cannot be changed according to Dr. Yoneda. Just like Dr. Yoneda’s prediction, the real humans are wanting to die which is why it’s stated by one of the real humans how annoying it is that there is no death. Whatever the process was that made the real humans immortal, it seems that it cannot be reversed to restore one’s mortality. Although it’s not stated how humans will achieve immortality and allow them to control time and space, this will somehow cause humanity’s apocalypse as well, destroying the original Earth. What makes these creatures more human-like than god-like is that they admit they were born on another planet, most likely the original Earth. They are also aware that they too were created by something that is above them. How do we know Dr. Yoneda’s predictions are right? It was stated by Shuji Nakaumi that his past predictions came true. One thing to understand about science is that it’s extremely good at accurately predicting things. Example 1: With Issac Newton’s law of motion, scientists can predict the position of an object at any specific time, past, present, or future. Example 2: In the 1840s, Fitzner astronomer Urbain Le Verrier was analyzing the orbit pathway of Mercury and found that it is changing very slowly over time. With technology limited at that time, it was hard to provide proof. In 1915, the famous German physicist, Albert Einstein was able to calculate the influence of the curved space in Mercury’s orbit. That is 75 years later that science proved its prediction was right. Although science cannot tell future events like a psychic will attempt to, I believe this is what the author was using to help advance the plot for the ending. The real humans already know the future and they’re aware that no matter what they try, death is not a part of that. If they cannot do it, someone else can. That is when these simulations come in. The real humans will create simulated humans. In one of the simulations, the story of Platinum End takes place. This would not be on a computer. This process would involve terraforming an entire planet to support carbon-based life. The planet that the simulated humans live on will be similar to the original Earth as well as the history and advancement of science will be similar to the real humans. As the simulated human’s society progresses, like in Platinum End, they would eventually learn how to become immortal and learn how to control space-time which would lead to them wanting to die just like the real humans. But unlike the real humans, the simulated ones may actually achieve a way to kill themselves once they obtain immortality that the real humans could use. But as we already know stated by the real humans, this specific simulation was a failure. Nothing was created that was capable of killing them. Thus, the real humans will move on to a new simulation. Pay very special attention to this picture. Notice right after all of the humans disappear when the fake god kills himself, the buildings are slowly crumbling away since no one is here to maintain them. According to World Building, it would take an average of 250 years for a building to start to break apart since materials like wood and plastic would be destroyed by the environment if not maintained. Metal would be expanding and no longer able to keep the building's structure in place. This would cause things like windows to fall off and shatter. So after a few hundred years, the real humans return to the planet after the simulated humans disappeared due to the fake god’s suicide. It’s possible that during this time they’re running other simulations on other planets and returned when this simulation was completed. Since the real humans have achieved master over space-time, teleporting to anywhere in the universe would not be out of the question. Since they cannot die, the amount of time it would take for the real humans to travel anywhere in the universe is irrelevant as well. Even though Gaku Yoneda’s predictions about the simulated humanity’s end were wrong, he was technically right. It did come true for the real humans. If Shuji Nakaumi, as the fake god, did not kill himself and wipe out all of the fake humans, they would of most likely learned how to cheat death and to control space-time in the future. Gaku was wrong about the fake god being a product of human belief in order to live. He even admits that the composition of the fake god was wrong. If the fake god required human belief to live, then Shuji would not have erased the memories of those who were not god candidates as it would have affected the fake god's existence if fewer people believed in him. There is one thing that begs the question. Why is a fake god needed to run these simulations? Why do the simulated humans have souls? Why not just create the simulated humans and leave them to figure out how to create an immortal killing machine without the process of a false god? This is because God and souls are actually real and are necessary for life to exist. To clarify, the “God” that Shuji Nakaumi was transmuted into is not the true God that I’m referring to. I’m referring to the first cause of everything, a self-aware creator, a deistic God who existed before time and space who created the universe and does not intervene in its creation. This means no miracles, prophecy, answering prayers, divine revelation, etc. Everything in the universe is governed by physics and these laws cannot be broken. The real humans who are running the simulations are aware that they are a creation made from a creator. However, since a deistic God does not interfere in the universe, the real humans cannot know of him, at least while they are still alive. Considering the real humans can control space-time, I can say for certain at one point, at least one person went to the very beginning of time and saw something that would be evidence of an intelligent designer creating the universe. When the real humans are conversing with each other at the finale, one human suggests identifying what created them and the second one replies that seeking their creator will be a waste of time. If a deistic God won’t intervene in its creation, the real humans would be wasting time by attempting to contact him. Even though they can control space-time, if the creator exists outside of reality, they would not be able to reach this entity. Focusing on figuring out who created them means that time is wasted if they're not figuring out how to die which is why it would take them further away from death. Just as the simulated humans have souls, the real humans also have souls. At some point, the real humans discovered the soul. They are aware that this is needed for life to be sentient. The discovery of the soul could have played a key part in the real humans achieving immortality. The fake god is engineered by the real humans to create souls so that life can be sentient, mimic the universe's deistic God by allowing the simulation to run with no interference, and act as a mod to keep an eye on life with the red and white arrows. The celestial realm was created so the fake god would not be a part of the simulated world. Even though time moves differently in the celestial realm, it is the closest thing that the real humans can engineer to simulate a deist God that is separated from its creation. This fake god does not have the powers of a supreme being. The fake god does not know everything, is not everywhere at once, and does not display any sort of omnipotent ability. There is a lot of things that the fake god admits to not knowing, such as who created him, why are souls preserved, and how long does the merging process take. Although we do see the fake god have the ability to observe humanity, I would say that this is the equivalent of having admin privileges to watch humanity live-streamed on YouTube. The fake god is aware that he is created by someone. The fake god noticed that there are things that had already been created that he was not a part of just by observing everything in the universe. Although he seems to not understand what created him. He even acknowledges the idea that humanity could have created him. All the simulated souls come from the fake god. This is done through a process of emanation, which means to flow from. In the Abrahamic religions, specifically Gnosticism, Jewish Mysticism, and certain sectors of Protestantism, instead of your typical creator being separate from its creation, everything is a spontaneous outflow from God. As pieces of God emanate from him, it becomes less divine, but these pieces will eventually become an individual soul that forms into human spirits, angels, demons, as well as other things that come into reality such as heaven, hell, and the world of the living. Eventually, everything that came from God, will return back to the creator. (If you’re still confused on what emanation is, I would do more research before continuing to read as this will play a key role in understanding who the fake god is.) Emanation is how the fake god created the simulated human and their soul, the fake angels, and the celestial realm. The fake god took a piece of himself and used it to create life. Since everything emanates from the fake god is connected to him, as he is dying, most of the angels are dying too. Due to this connection, when the fake god killed himself, everything that was tied to the fake god disappeared. But because the creation of the fake god is not connected to the physical world, the planet and everything that is not life remained on it. When the simulated human beings die, the soul goes to the celestial realm. This is the returning aspect of emanation. The souls that came from the fake god are returning back to him. You always see all angels, regardless of rank, having the task of carrying the souls to the celestial realm. It seems that the main purpose of the angels is to help with the return part of the emanation process. The more that the emanence is divided, the less divine it becomes. This is why the fake humans are considered sub-celestial in the hierarchy. It appears that there is a certain order to the flow of emanation. The newest creations emanate from the fake god. Kids will be the first in the line for the emanate process and their parents will be behind them. This is why when the fake god committed suicide, the kids were the first ones to disappear, then the adults. All things that emanate from the fake god are returning to the original source in reverse order when the fake god takes his own life. When the fake god merges with a human, this appears to go against the set pattern of the emanation process by breaking the order in which the emanence flows. This is why when Shuji merged with the fake god, it felt like there was something foreign in the fake god's body similar to how an infected person's body acts when the immune system detects foreign bacteria or a virus. The only way to get around it is by the fake god merging with a simulated human and having the fake god take over the new body when the fusion is completedIt is stated by the fake god that it is nothing more than humanity's assumption that God cannot die. This may be true for the deistic God, but not for a fake god. It is already known that the real humans achieved immortality. Although the fake god could have been engineered to be immortal, that would just create another being who would eventually want to die. The fake god was designed to live a long life, compared to humans, that could be extended through the process of merging with one of its emanated counterparts until the simulation was completed. This has been done throughout time in the form of the god choosing process. The fake god confirmed to Shuji that his purpose was to create life. Professor Yoneda confirmed that the fake god was created by human imagination and that its purpose was to end life.On the surface, this may seem like a contradiction. But both of them are right. The fake god’s purpose was to create the simulated humans. God is metaphorically a creation of human imagination. It was not by the simulated human’s imagination as stated by Yoneda, but it was designed and engineered by the minds of the real humans. Since the purpose of the simulation is for the fake humans to achieve immortality and figure out how to reverse it, you can say that the fake god is a part of that process of killing humanity. Right as all of the humans are disappearing, Dr. Yoneda realizes that the composition that makes up the creature is based on a science that the simulated humans have not discovered yet. The composition of the fake god is Aether. In medieval times, a common study among scholars is alchemy, which can be best described as the forerunner for modern-day chemistry mixed with the pseudoscience of metaphysics. According to Charles Gillispie, a historian at Princeton University, in his book, The Edge of Objectivity, An Essay in the History of Scientific Ideas, Aether is the fifth element, along with earth, wind, fire, and water, that are the basic building blocks of the universe. During medieval times, Aether is the substance that is believed to connect the physical world to the spiritual one. It was even a common belief that the Abrahamic God was surrounded by Aether and that all of the angels, demons, and souls that dwelled in the afterlife breathed it in as humans breathed in the air. According to Jakob Bernoulli, a mathematician from the 1600s, believed that Aether is what allowed souls to interact with their human bodies. All of these characteristics of Aether match the composition of the fake god. Aether is what allows life to become sentient, connecting all of the simulated humans back to the fake god from the physical world to the celestial realm. It seems at some point, the real humans discover this element. This discovery most likely led to the discovery of the soul. Using this element, the real humans used Aether to construct the fake god needed for the simulations. Everything that is a part of the simulation, the fake god, angels, the soul, the arrows, is made up of this element. The red arrow is what allows the god candidates to make other humans fall in love with them so much that the person who is under the influence of the arrow will do literally anything the person who is in control wants, even die for them. The white arrow has the ability to kill any life while all inanimate objects are unaffected. These were limits placed on the arrows by the fake god. According to Ogaro, the fake god can use the full power of the arrows at will. The red arrow is more than just making someone fall in love. The arrow does this by taking away their free will. The god candidates were limited to using the arrow on 14 people at once for a period of up to 33 days. With the fake god able to use the full power of the red arrow, he can enslave any or all simulated humans with a snap of his finger for as long as he desired. The red arrow also played a role in creating the first simulated life as well. The fake god stated that if life was left alone, it would multiply. The desire of falling in love and wanting to procreate was implanted by the red arrow when life was created. The white arrow is the opposite of the red arrow. This arrow can kill life instantly. The limit that was placed on this arrow is that only one white arrow can be shot at a time. Just like the red arrow, this arrow has a maximum range of 31.6 meters. When cycling the white arrow, there is a cool down period of 0.3 seconds. If these limiters are removed, the fake god can kill all humans with the white arrows with virtually no limit on distance, any number of arrows can be used simultaneously, and there would be no mandatory cool down period.The creation of the simulated humans involves two key ingredients. The first is the soul which comes from the fake god. The second is a physical body for the soul to be attached to. The real humans asked if it was worth planting another seed and another god as those are two separate things.The making of another god is obviously the fake god. But what is the seed? The seed is what makes the physical embodiment of all plants and animals that all emanence is attached to. I.E., souls attached to bodies. According to the fake god, before he created life on the fake Earth, there was some sort of micro-organism.This seed would be that micro-organism, specifically carbon-based bacteria that is capable of evolution. Around 3 billion years ago, the first life on Earth was bacteria. There are two types of bacteria, a classification of anaerobic bacteria that ate other organic compounds and simple sugars to survive. The other kind is autotrophs bacteria which is capable of self-feeding. Anaerobic bacteria would evolve into modern-day animals. Autotroph bacteria would evolve into modern-day plants that still have the ability to self-feed through a process of photosynthesis. It is possible to send bacteria through space. According to a 2020 study published in the Journal of Frontiers in Microbiology, bacteria were able to survive in space for three years. If the real humans were able to transport the seed through space in less than 3 years, it could easily survive. Considering they achieved immortality, it is within reason to think this would be a piece of cake for them. At some point, part of the anaerobic bacteria would come in contact with the fake god, who was on the fake Earth at that time to make life, recognized the fake god as food, and attempted to feed off of him to survive. The bacteria that fed off the fake god would eventually evolve into Nasse. The bacteria that did not feed off of the fake god would evolve into more complex forms of life on the fake Earth. Since Nasse was accidentally created from this event, it most likely means that she is the first angel that the fake god created. This means that she could serve as inspiration for the fake god to create angels for the celestial realm. The angels don't seem to share any ability to reproduce with each other. There is never any mention of any family heritage. It means that all of the angels were created around the same time. Since Nasse is the only angel that came from the seed/bacteria, her biological makeup differs from all the other angels. While the majority of her is angel, part of the genetic makeup is similar to carbon-based life. Although I would not say Nasse is an angel-human hybrid, she could be considered a type of Nephilim. Due to this biological difference, Nasse is the only angel that can interfere in both the physical world and the celestial realm. Much research has shown that facial expressions are innate among all animals, not just humans. The same animals that display facial expressions when expressing emotions, lying, determination, etc. use similar muscles in the face as humans do. For example, a Psychologist, Paul Ekman, studied facial expression from hours of film and ventured on to multiple isolated tribes who have very little contact with modern society. He showed them pictures of facial expressions and asked them to interpret them. These people were able to match facial expressions and their meaning with high accuracy. This is one of the many studies that show facial expressions are genetic. Even though Nasse is single-minded, she is able to understand facial expressions due to her biological relationship with the simulated life on the fake Earth. But hey, this is just a theory."
