Agreed. But what’s the fastest time toy have had for a response? For me it’s been measurable in quarters, not months or weeks. Usually about 3, but sometimes 5 or 6.

This varies by location. I’ve been through it on both sides in a few states, and when working with an employment lawyer one of the most crucial things he said was to make sure the filing was in the beneficial state.

Why are you trying to keep your credit utilization specifically of those cards below 10%? Is this a credit score thing?

I think you have the elevator example crossed. My random testing suggests the door open button always works. The close button sometimes is as you say, just to make people feel like they have a measure of control.

Go on your own. You likely know this, but saying it just in case.

Notice I wasn’t able to do it, and had a female friend rip it apart? So I may not be the best one to answer - in my case I at least didn’t have the most egregious usual things like a picture of me holding a fish or a trophy deer, but she did replace most of my photos. She took some more I just looked casual in nature. Just me, no one else in the photos. Also some pictures she selected of me in groups where I was clearly front and center happy and I guess good eye contact.

As for the words in the profile, I had a couple of things in there which implied previous relationships and even the tiniest hint of anything negative she removed all of that. Kept Hobbies and activities and interests as well as what I was looking for. That’s all it was as best I recall

I want the earring stud connected to a personal Ai like in Enders Game. The author (Orson Scott Card) called her Jane.

Of course in the book she was completely connected and insanely intelligent so made him in riches beyond belief while he was doing things like space traveling. Nice side feature.

Met my wife on coffee meets bagel. Used other apps, and had lots of great experiences on all but bumble and shadii (tinder, match, pof, perhaps others).

My suceess got a ton better after one of my first matches helped me take new photos and update my text. She said I wasn’t selling myself well, and was 1000% right based on the results.

There is an effective formula for feedback I like.

1. When you x it has y effect
2. Pause for them to reply, ask questions, or even better - suggest an alternative
3. It would be better if z

In this case, when you make repeat the same joke it loses all humor value and becomes an annoyance.

It would be better if jokes were limited in use, and certainly not repeated.

Set u a forward from the Gmail address to the new one, and maintain the account at least minimally. As a reference, I have an account created at least 14 years ago still forwarding email. Should be enough time to change the profiles.
