Guys, why is it so hard to take decent photos for a dating profile?

We recently compared men’s and women’s profiles during an interview, and honestly… 4 out of 5 male profiles were rough.

Is it laziness, not caring, or do guys genuinely not realize how bad their photos are?

article 110 of the husband code: “i don’t snore” is the most disproven claim in marriage history. she has audio. 4.2 on the richter scale. his defense: “that’s not me.” they live alone. FEMA has been notified.

Girls, what’s an instant red-flag word or phrase in a guy’s first message on a dating app? 🚩

And yeah, “Hey, how are you?” doesn’t count, that one’s obvious. 😁

@AlexHormozi One more problem, it’s people who’s creating careers, and not your business

"men think about sex every 7 seconds"

that stat is fake btw

but heres whats real. women think about it just as much. sometimes more. they just don’t post about it

male desire is a button. press it and it works

female desire is a recipe. needs ingredients timing and the right temperature

most guys don’t even know the ingredients

women... drop one ingredient below. lets see who gets it

unpopular opinion but the loudest women in bed are usually the ones performing

real ones go quiet. they stop controlling everything. they forget you’re even watching

and afterwards? they don’t want to talk. they just... lay there

that’s not disinterest. that’s a reset

men... how many of you just realized something

[VAL @valklimoff]

There’s an illusion that the more options you have, the better. But whoever said that probably lived before dating apps existed, right?

@OfficialLoganK I’d add: audacity without follow-through fades fast. But without audacity, potential never even enters the room.

@thedatingboss Peace is underrated. It’s not boring, it’s what lets everything else in life work better.

Many people think it’s better to say nothing than to reject someone directly. But silence isn’t kindness. Both rejection and ghosting hurt, but people recover faster after a clear rejection. Ghosting keeps them in uncertainty and drags the phantom pain out much longer.

When I talk about partnership, I don’t mean Noah’s Ark (you get the idea). I mean the feeling of having a partner beside you a partner in life. It’s what Aristotle meant by moral friendship: growing through each other, developing, supporting one another.
That kind of partnership is far better than loneliness, isn’t it?

[VAL @valklimoff]

There’s a social bug: people judge someone else’s success by whether they’re in a relationship or not. Guess who automatically gets labeled as less happy?Relationships still function like a badge that says “I’m doing fine”. Even though that hasn’t been a real KPI for a long time — what actually matters is emotional closeness, respect, love, and real feelings.

Agree?

[VAL @valklimoff]

There’s an uncomfortable truth: when a person’s offline social life declines, simply adding more online interaction is not a cure. Scrolling is pain relief is not therapy for real human connection.

“Two teas, please.”
The sober dating trend is really about honesty.
It brings differences in habits, ways of relaxing, and personal boundaries to the surface much earlier. It may look like a complication, but in reality it helps people understand faster whether they’re comfortable moving forward together.

@euphonik This explains why we all have a folder called “Courses” and the same life as before.

@patrickc Every startup thinks it’s Gandalf. Most are still in the Shire 🙃

@ShaanVP Agreed. Wanting approval isn’t the problem, outsourcing your standards is. Impress people whose values you’d actually want to live by.

@naval As a founder, I’ve learned this the hard way. The quality of your collaborators sets the ceiling on what you can build.

@StephanSpeaks Not advertising, just sharing why we built app Twinby. Psychological matching in our app exists because good people don’t need changing, they need better matching.
