@jakozloski My filters are loosely 5' 3"-5'10", age 35-55, without kids and hopefully in Colorado. Think I have answered too many questions in Keeper. It's been 6 months and I only have 2 promising matches out of 213,132. I'm never going to find my husband. 🫤

A common request at Keeper: "tall, six-figure income, full head of hair, lives in Manhattan, never married, no kids, between 32 and 38." That filter set has roughly 1,500 men in total (on or off Keeper). Most users have never done the math.

I'm The Patient Pursuer. Only 7-9% of singles match my timeline. What's yours? @timelinedating timeline.dating/patient-pursue… #Denver

@timelinedating Yes AND I have it in my #DateMeDoc docs.google.com/document/d/1q0… . Can you fast track me in?

10/ So here's my question: Do you actually know what you want? Can you say "I want to be married by X and have kids by Y" without feeling embarrassed? If yes, you're our people. If that question made you uncomfortable, we're probably not for you. And that's okay.

Hot take: If you're 30+ and still "seeing where things go," you're the problem. Timeline Dating is launching soon and we're only accepting people who know what they want. Think you qualify? Here's who this is (and isn't) for: 🧵

@timelinedating To #4 💯%! I send my matches 14 Y/N dealbreaker filter questions to skip the biggest issues and not waste time. The number of times that guys act like it's too much or an interview. Uhh shouldn't the most important relationship of your life deserve a lot of thought?

5/ Here's the thing about "pressure": If someone feels pressured by you knowing what you want, they're not ready for what you want. Clarity isn't pressure. Clarity is respect, for your time and theirs.

@KeeperAI How's mine coming along? Could you pass him a letter? 😁 docs.google.com/document/d/1sR…

Keeper works with leading psychometricians at Stanford to implement state-of-the-art, bias-resistant psychometric tests so we can find your soulmate in as few matches as possible.

People know that someone’s hobbies are signals of their personality traits, so they use hobbies to filter romantic matches. But these signals are noisy. It’s much better to filter on personality directly.

@KeeperAI Yes I will swipe left on any guy that says he smokes even if everything else matches. I've made an exception once and even though he switched to vaping it still led to me second hand breathing that in and being used against me as something he changed for me. Not again.

Often, our clients will have one changeable trait that’s blocking a majority of their potential matches. Maybe it’s smoking, or weight, or a particular fashion choice. Truly caring for their wellbeing means telling them this, even though it’s painful. So that’s what we do.

@wessex35516 @keeperai I'm currently at no matches with 180,533 reviews. It feels like I went a little too deep. Right after getting all cats done there was 2 potential but then I fixed a missed one and they both disappeared. 🫤

@keeperai When I met my first really good match, I realised instantly and completely that none of that could be captured in a fucking dating app bio. Kind of sad that Keeper thinks there’s no one among 1.5 million that matches me though. Assuming it works.

Next time you use a dating app, think about how much information you’re giving it, and ask yourself “how could it possibly know me well enough to find my soulmate based on that information?” Does your education + job + location + a few photos capture who you really are?

I figured out how to hide the "Help me write" AI prompt when you start writing a new email in Gmail! See how I did it on karissaskirmont.com/blog/hide-the-….

Hey anyone in the #WordPress community know of any solutions or ran into this before when upgrading a personal @gmail to @GoogleWorkspace ? Also a heads up as there is a cascading effect that might not be known prior.

Who else has been screwed by @GoogleWorkspace after upgrading an existing account? >This Girl Has< Today I lost access to 12 years of @FitbitSupport data and can't revert to a regular @gmail account without deleting 184gb of @googledrive data & 11k of emails. 🤬🤯 Cc: #WordPress

@jakozloski Hey I've just found out about your app and at about 10 of the sections in completion. After being on 25 dating apps for the last 6 months, I have lots of experience and a refined approach. Fingers crossed🤞 that I find my husband on yours.

Men on dating apps say they get too few matches. Women say they get too many. Treating men and women identically in this context has produced results that neither group is happy with. And yet, the most popular apps remain stuck in their ways and refuse to change. southdenvertherapy.com/blog/dating-ap…

@ellievhall @MargaritaNicko I want an app that makes it clear that I don't have or want kids and don't want to date to marry a guy that has or wants kids! It's been incredibly challenging to filter for that as most have it behind the paywall, which is horrible since it's the biggest deal breaker!

@MargaritaNicko 100%! Let’s have an app where everybody knows that they’re dating seriously and want kids, so that nobody’s wasting anybody’s time! No stigma or weirdness, just “I am absolutely sure I want to start a family and only want to date people who are sure they want this too!”

I feel like someone needs to create a dating/meet-up app for this, where both parties start knowing what they’re looking for, b/c off the top of my head, I know 6 women who are in this exact same situation (7, including myself). It’s a frequent topic of conversation!!!

@datingbyblaine Where do you find the women and is there a sign up form? 🤔

Who should hire a matchmaker? Who shouldn’t? Don’t hire a matchmaker if: 1. You want to be engaged in 6 months, and want to outsource all responsibility. Matchmakers create introductions. What happens ≥6 months later is more about you ♥️ 2. The investment is a stretch financially. If you'd stress about the money, don't outsource the work. Stick to Raya, or better yet, learn to approach women IRL 💪 3. You struggle to land second dates. Matchmaking won’t fix that. It’ll just give you more first dates that lead to more “you're great, but..." texts 😬 4. You’d pass on an amazing match because her arm looked fat in a 2019 Instagram photo. You need a therapist, not a matchmaker. Yes, unfortunately I've heard this before 😵‍💫 You should hire a matchmaker if: 1. You want to find your person, and you understand it won’t happen overnight. You comprehend what a matchmaker can and cannot do, and you feel agency over your romantic life ✅ 2. The investment is comfortably within budget. You’re at a point in your career where it’s rational to hire experts for labor-intensive work 🤝 3. You consistently land second dates. You can create chemistry across a dinner table, and your bottleneck is meeting people you’re excited about 😍 4. You know dating ≠ ordering a pizza. Nobody’s perfect, but your person is out there if you’re willing to give them a chance ✨

@datingbyblaine @hnauman96 I get soooo tired of having to figure out the logistics. I make sure I leave a lot of clues on preferences but most of the guys just are oblivious.

@hnauman96 Dang, assuming it's a first date, I don't love this either. Dude is expecting her to make the plan. Some women will play along, but... 😬

It happened again 🤣 This would be bad enough if they'd matched on Hinge. But it's an introduction via a matchmaker!!! PSA for single men, when a single woman gives you her number, it's so you can ask her on a date. Your text must include a time and a place, or you will stay single. How is Kate even supposed to respond to this message? 🤣

@Timcast You can ask for Kid Temp which is 120*.

i have to ask them to put ice in my hot coffee when going through the drive through otherwise i cant drink it

@NEPatriotKid @Timcast Thanks! Watching it now!

@Timcast youtube.com/live/3IRyjNDVv… Here’s the link since YouTube decided it wouldn’t let me find it easily

Today Youtube finally restored TimcastIRL's episode with a massive all star cast featuring Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, Drew Hernandez, Michael Malice, Blaire White, Luke Rudkowski, and Ian Crossland At the same time it appears as though the soft ban "weights" that had been placed on my other channels are lifted and video views are starting to rise back to where they were pre-Biden era The Culture War isn't over but we appear to making huge strides in forcing back the darkness

@Timcast Wow that is a lot all of my fav people that I watch, all in one spot! Hadn't seen this episode before!
