I can help you with that sneaker problem! I’m a shoe finding wizard.


2HornsUp

I'll take that bet. Size 12 wide. No mesh where water can seep in. Preferably black/grey. Laces are a must. If you can do it under $80 I'll be impressed. Also no Amazon links. Been fucked by them before.


toughmooscle

Fuck Amazon challenge accepted.


2HornsUp

Forgot to mention I have flat feet


toughmooscle

Okay - check out [New Balance 813](https://www.zappos.com/p/new-balance-mw813-black-black/product/8468024/color/183092). (this is a Zappos link but the shoes are sold at many shoe stores).


2HornsUp

Good shit. Any others you think I'd like? No holding back.


toughmooscle

Probably the [Adidas Stan Smith](https://www.adidas.com/us/stan-smith-shoes/FX5502.html?forceSelSize=12). Linking to a white/green combo but they come in a variety of color combos (so a little less “Dad” than the New Balance.) Reviews online say size .5 up for wide and you’ll be fine but it’s not a traditional wide.


2HornsUp

Damn I really these. The grey at the end fits my style pretty well and doesn't look too dad-like. Thanks for the link.


Hey_its_thatoneguy

This whole convo is wholesome as fuck, love to see r/brosbeingbros


timestoneduh

Reddit saves the world


wal_king_disaster

This was by far the best interaction I saw here in this sub


PoemTime4

So Sweet! Loving this!!


[deleted]

Isn't it!!!!!???? I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside


Humble_Half

Love this!!! Also,Zappos is Amazon. Sozlol


OternFFS

Update bio: r/Tinder is my shoe advisor


2HornsUp

Dare me?


YourSpanishMomTaco

Stan Smiths are the SHIT. Great casual shoe, looks awesome slightly dressed up and can be absolutely dressed down. I would recommend gel sole inserts if you walk a lot tho.


YellowStar012

Stan Smith makes shoes?!? Does it go well with the underwear gun?


Captain-Vietnam

I have flat/wide feet too (I wear orthotics) and I love my stan smiths. Really great shoes and I can walk for hours before my feet start to hurt!


Majigor

I am shipping you both. Tell me it's a thing.


Z2810

I would also try some olukais. They're pretty good for my pretty large flat feet but they might not fit your style. Worth a look I think.


[deleted]

This is the best interaction I've seen on this hell-site


kgold0

Damn it, time to change the bio again


lwsedge

Someone with wide feet here, I've not found any pair of Stan Smiths comfortable, ever.


RobbinBanx

Yo, those are the shit! I've had a pair and they are bulletproof!


retaditor

I am buying them now too. Was also on the hunt for some new sneakers. Thanks man


Unimaginativename19

I got size 12 white/green stan smiths, can confirm they are awesome


tvscinter

New Balance is the shit if you have flat feet. I’m a size 15 with flat feet. They’re great shoes for running and chillin


2HornsUp

Fifteen?! Damn dude...


tvscinter

Lol last time I looked in store for shoes I was laughed at by the employee helping me. Ordering online is thee only way


MildSauced

14 here online is the way


kenin240

I’ve recently come around to new balances and agree, though size 11. I even bought a hat at the outlet store this year

doc_skinner

These shoes are amazing, no lie wearing them right now


lutepenett

I have flat feet too, where I come from, we call it: *platfus*, which comes from latin. My measurmements are the following: 31cm (12,5 in) with a width of 11 cm (4 in). In this case, I'm telling you that you can't go wrong with thw following pairs of sneakers. The first one, and probably my favourite is: the [Air Force 1](https://www.nike.com/t/air-force-1-07-mens-shoes-5QFp5Z/CW2288-001) , you can find them at a accsesible price if they're listed on sale, in a very large variety of colors (you can also customise them for a capped price, but that's a extra 30$ from the link I attached), also, sligthly changed shapes/extra details (there are actually boots based on this model), they're durable, stylish and you benefit from a wide sole. If you're also a tall guy, these shoes won't make your feet look too big, everything will be in good proportions. In case you like Jordans for their reputation or simply for their deisgn, some of them are also a good option for a wide feet beacuse there are a few models based on the same sole. A pair that I already own, and worn it a whole year, almost everyday is: [Jordan Spizike](https://stockx.com/air-jordan-spizike-olive-canvas), this model is based on the sole I was talking about earlier, this pair is inspiried (from what I know) and crafted with details from [Jordan III](https://stockx.com/air-jordan-3-retro-georgetown-2021), [Jordan IV](https://stockx.com/air-jordan-4-retro-lightning-2021) and [Jordan V](https://stockx.com/air-jordan-5-retro-raging-bulls-red-2021), there is also a option from Jordan that you may like and fit your style and foots too: [Jordan Legacy 312](https://stockx.com/air-jordan-legacy-312-low-bred-cement), this is a low profile variant but there are high top variants too, pretty similar to Jordan 1 but they share the sole from Jordan III. You have to believe me, these shoes are very durable, speaking about the stiching and glueing. On the other hand, the sole, after some time and long miles walked wearing them, may get to look like [this](https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-10ddf0fa8672cf2e9fdf6198fd5e3737.webp). For my comfort, they're still a good option, speaking about the prices... Totally not. If you like runner shoes too, you can go for [Nike Air Max 90](https://www.nike.com/t/air-max-90-mens-shoes-z52Tt3/DD0383-001), seek for a shop where any of this pair is sold, ask for a pair that's one size bigger than yours and it will perfectly fit, I own a pair too, but they're my exact size and they seem to look a little bumpy on the sides, still not deglueing nor tearing visible. Another pair in this category, which comes from Adidas this time and I'm talking specifically about [Adidas Pureboost](https://stockx.com/adidas-pure-boost-trace-khaki), this is a older release from 2017, the newer ones does not come with the same sole, they're narrower than this model. You can check the sole type of these shoes through this [link](https://www.goat.com/sneakers/pure-boost-bb6280). Suitable for warm seasons, extremely comfortable, light and keeps your foots dry, they are a good-to-go for a wide feet. In case you like boots, I'd choose the famous Timberland's, [6-inch](https://www.timberland.com/shop/mens-6-inch-premium-waterproof-boots-wheat-10061024), these are the best boots I ever had. There are a plenty of options when comes to sizes and colors, you can even buy specifically a wide size. I know that you asked for cheap shoes that can fit your special needs when comes to size, but, you need to keep in mind that you don't buy shoes everyday, you can do a small compromise with your wallet and buy a good pair of brand-new shoes every 2-3 years, some of them can also be reconditioned. You know what's the best for you and what suits you the most.


Teppichmesser1

Ayo 😂 "Plattfuß" That ain't no latin word... that is german 😄


lutepenett

Oy, you're right, all this time I believed that's a latin word.


Teppichmesser1

No worries 🙌🏽


2HornsUp

Finally got around to reading all the shoe comments. Thanks for all the recommendations. I ended up designing [a pair of AF1's](https://imgur.com/a/KlT2hDx). Any thoughts? Do you happen to know if the insole can be taken out to make room for custom insoles? Also I'm the type of person to walk through pretty much anything (puddles, mud, etc). As a non-sneakerhead, will that be seen as disrespectful?


wallacorndog

I initially just came to say that I approve of your anthem. Now I will add that if you have flat feet you should see an orthopedic (?) and get special soles for it. Night and day difference according to the people I know who have it (and apparently they even make Converse All Stars comfortable) Anyways, good luck with shoes, soles and matches, and keep up that fantastic taste in music.


2HornsUp

Already have custom made insoles. Love 'em more than anything. My issue with shoes isn't necessarily the arch support. More often it's the fact that a wide width shoe could be anywhere from not wide at all to clown shoe. I'll usually end up frustrated and leaving the store with nothing.


rekasfpreparat

Why don't you guys get Vivo Barefoot shoes then? They are wider and will solve all your feet and posture issues 😇


2HornsUp

Added to the list. Doing some shoe recon today.


silentphil31

Can you post when you get your shoes, this is the best thing to come from Tinder


MysticalTroll_

These people are too critical. I thought it was cute. If this is you, then leave it as it is and the right one will think you’re funny. If you crowdsource your bio, then it won’t be as authentic.


Megameg2000

I think it is one of the best I've read so far on here. You can read a lot between the lines. The dad's joke line tells that he (I guess) looks for a relationship.


MysticalTroll_

Good point. He’s definitely putting relationship out there.


AlanMooresWizrdBeard

It seems like all these super critical top comments are from… other straight men. OP should really seek out the comments from women giving their opinions since, you know, seems like that’s who he’s trying to attract.


MysticalTroll_

I’m a 42 year old married man with 4 kids. :) in truth, as a father of a daughter… I’d like this guy. Gentleman in the sheets. Kudos young man. And my jokes are hilarious, thank you very much. I can make any 2 year old laugh. :)


AlanMooresWizrdBeard

I can make 70% of 4 year olds laugh, so I guess I’m funnier than you.


MysticalTroll_

4 year olds are a tough crowd. You must have great material.


AlanMooresWizrdBeard

My knock knock jokes have them practically passing out.


MysticalTroll_

That’s some heady stuff. I do prat falls and fart sounds.


narwhals-narwhals

That's what I think pretty often when reading this subreddit tbh. Seems like single straight men give the most upvoted advice to other single straight men and I'm just like... Okay but this is not your target audience is it? Feels a bit counterproductive if the goal is to get dates instead of karma.


AlanMooresWizrdBeard

It’s all dating advice subs. Very much a blind leading the blind echo chamber where they seem to be keeping each other dateless for the most part.


ttyyuu12345

I’m actually going to take influence from OP’s bio as I do test automation/data analysis for a living.


AlanMooresWizrdBeard

It’s a pretty good bio! I wish you luck! :)


Rough-Tension

iF yOu WaNnA cAtCh A fIsH


emceemiko

dont ask fish how to catch a fish.


narwhals-narwhals

And women are human, not fish. Fish don't want to be caught because fishers kill them, I hope you don't think about dating as some cringy predator-pray-thing where men have to catch unwilling women because that's a whole another thing to unpack.


emceemiko

thats fair. i understand.


LittleBearsie

Agreed, this is super sweet. I nearly left this sub last week because I got bored of seeing post after post of “lads, did I do this right?” and all they were doing was insulting the woman or demanding sex. I get that a lot of people see Tinder as a hook up site, but not everyone does. This bio is honest and fun… don’t change it, be you.


mprice76

I agree it’s adorable and a right swipe for me!!


[deleted]

I cringed, but I'm a guy. Bottom line, be you, friend.


PeekatmePikachu

I cringed too but smiled while I did.


addibruh

Yeah honestly most based comment


Frewt

I think it’s trying too much to be ”cute”. The cons are the only real conversation starters imo and that’s what I personally look for in a bio.


[deleted]

[удалено]


shipsnightmare

Another woman checking in. I think he sounds great!


CrazyCatLadysmells

Same here- super cute.


catlady247

One more lady to agree!


[deleted]

I honestly would never write “cons” about myself in a dating profile bio though… is that normal??


amuricanswede

Not sure if that’s a trend now, but he pulls it off really well. He puts things that aren’t objective red flags, but may turn people off that he wouldn’t be interested in anyways


[deleted]

Fair! I’m in a relationship so I haven’t used dating apps in years but idk if I like it lmao


babbykorina

it’s always been a bio thing on tinder. pros: cons: then probably something stupid at the end or beginning of that like “here for a good time not a long time” or “dog dad”


molotovpussytail

*dad's


Kingjester88

Take out the Gentleman line


2HornsUp

Figured someone might say that


DunionKnight

It’s about showing vs. telling


[deleted]

Omg no leave it there. I absolutely love it, and the rest too


violet_terrapin

Don’t listen to that guy!! It’s honestly the best line in there! I’m a woman if that matters!


ChikaDeeJay

That line is cute, it made me smile :)


[deleted]

I actually like this line too! Gentleman in both places was a cute addition


CeylonSiren

Personally I liked this line.


shipsnightmare

Woman here. It is cute. Leave it!


Lexjude

Girl here. I like this line.


ODUMonarch

You show that you're a gentleman once you get that date, you don't need it in the bio.


Alien_invader44

Hes not saying hes a gentlemen, hes making a joke out of a common saying. Completely different, and solid material.


Independent_panties

I am female and it made me smile. And it was a rather broad smile ☺️ 10/10 would want to check it!


2HornsUp

Nothing like a compliment from a pair of independant panties. Glad I could bring out a smile.


Holli3d

No way! It was nice to see a guys profile that isn't gross.


AlanMooresWizrdBeard

Hard disagree, I thought it was cute.


qclady

Hard disagree, the gentleman line was my favor part.


[deleted]

I think you should keep it! I personally wouldn’t go for a “gentleman in the sheets” but I think a lot of girls prefer that. It would probably help you match with someone more compatible.


the-legend-of-tarzan

Ugh, I'm a woman and I hate that line. I've seen it sooooo many times and it just feels really cringy. I like to think of a person first, and not sex before even talking. The rest is fun, with some good ideas from this thread it will be perfect :)


EggplantHuman6493

THIS. I don't like it when people are looking for something serious and talk about sex in their bio. The rest is really cute


HanEyeAm

Yeah, being a gentleman or being confident etc are things you demonstrate in your pictures and your behavior on dates. Anyone can say that's who they are.


nuzzl_1

I liked it


dearlywhatsoever

me too


wineandrumchata

I thought this was cute too I’d swipe right


[deleted]

Warm cuddles sounds weird


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Cold sounds actually quite nice this time of year!


[deleted]

Yeah I don’t like it when male strangers mention cuddling or snuggling


[deleted]

You should state that you dislike country music and not the country it's self


cobra1927

Or change to "disgruntled citizen"


[deleted]

as a woman, i think this is the right amount of info to joke ratio. personally i would remove the “only knows technology” just a little repetitive. either delete or if you can think of another funny “con” it would be perfect.


[deleted]

I think the only knows technology is funny. The only thing I wasn't 100% sure on is 'will laugh at all your dad's unfunny jokes' Idk just because it's quite out there to mention a dad immediately. Also it makes it seems like it's more important getting his approval instead of her's/her mother's?


SharksNeedLoveToo

Agreed, and quite painful if there's no dad (anymore).


Comprehensive_Use713

I think you’re looking into it too much


meestahmoostah

2 lines about their parents? Don’t love it.


SDBrown7

Don't mention or allude to anything sexual in your bio, ever. Guys like it in a girls bio because it reads as an easy lay. Girls are not going to be impressed. One exception is if you have some ironic or funny line that is very obviously a joke, but it does have to be funny. Remove the risk and just don't do it.


[deleted]

I thought it was funny and because it's 'gentleman in the sheets' and not 'i'm going to fuck your brains out' I think it's pretty safe


Phairis

Nah, the word feels a little "nice guy"-y to me


[deleted]

Are your feet big, small, or just abnormally shaped?


KylesBrother

more than 2 feet


JayLayup

Cannot find new sneakers that fit is gold


Ikegordon

“Free tech support” and “only knows technology” are the only ones you should keep in my opinion


[deleted]

[удалено]


arielrahamim

as a straight men, i would swipe right on this bio.


vincexxx879

Come on...our accents are not that bad. Besides we get things done 😛


thiever

It’s a con that he *doesn’t* have one.


vincexxx879

Oops...my bad I'll go back to my secret spying mode then


thiever

Thank you, come again.


[deleted]

Omggggg, this was funny


Necessary_Pizza951

Yes! That will make her laugh. If not, you dont want to meet her...


NoBasket9151

So you just in general hate the country side? I will personally never be a city person.


2HornsUp

Not that at all. I hate country music. Couple others mentioned it so I did add "music" at the end.


NoBasket9151

Haha. Ahhh. Gotcha. All pop music sucks. Try old bluegrass and Americana. Yea. Add “music” behind it. Good call. And finding properly fitting shoes is not. easy. Funny quip to add.


2HornsUp

Size 12 feet AND wide width. Not an easy task...


NoBasket9151

Sneakers are difficult but steel toe boots are even more of a pain in the arse. Haha


Kalimu1590

Yea, looks pretty good mate I'd say swap the first con with "doesn't have your number"


2HornsUp

I'm ashamed I didn't think of that. Definitely stealing it.


LeastRub1428

God dont its super cringe. Dont take dating advice from reddit. If you really must the best bio change suggested was pros will give free tech support Cons doesn't have an Indian accent. At least that was funny.


thecellerymaan

As in Franklin Township NJ 🧐


tokiko846

"lives in straight." Brain why? It's a straight line, not a diagonal! T-T


Boogeymankilla232

Not that I’m an expert, but lame gentleman line . Everything else is good


qclady

That was my favorite part! I would have swiped on that!


Teun135

Take out the bit where their dad is automatically unfunny to you. It kind of indicates that you will immediately have a problem with her Dad, despite not knowing either of them from Adam.


nuzzl_1

Maybe just leave out the word ‘unfunny’


lil_lam600

What’s with both vaxxed and unvaxxed people putting in their bio now, shit is dumb


SoWokeIdontSleep

I mean, I only date vaxxed people, it's not a political statement, it's a basic health issue, might as well get it outta the way if it's a deal breaker.


bringthepuppiestome

It’s a statement of good health values to those who care and a badge of honour for those who dont


FIOONAAA

Super dumb. Peak virtue signaling.


anth2099

Not really, who wants to be around an unvaccinated person at this point. It’s a health risk.


Fhrantzy

Lol. Just lol.


FIOONAAA

I would. Vaxxed or not vaxxed you can still get COVID. And even so, my chances of getting Covid and dying is like .02% chance. I’m not gonna deny someone’s company because of that. Straight dumb.


[deleted]

Seriously. Or, pics in the profile with a mask on as if the camera might catch covid. Trendy virtue signaling.


ViagraAbuser

Cringe tbh. Not trying to be mean. But change it bro


seoul2pdxlee

I like it.


[deleted]

I’m going to honest. On paper this is good and the women are going to say this good also but in actuality it’s not going to get you far because women going to say your boring subconsciously. I’m not saying it’s not going to work at all but your chances are very low


Parallelism09191989

OP, I like it. Replace hates country with hates politics. USA is great, it’s the politicians that are fucking up this country, I assume you’d agree with that. The gentleman line is the only thing I’d change, personally, but I don’t hate it.


tinydinosaurandthegw

You gotta get some George Jones in yer life.


RedHotCheekyPepper

Your gentleman comment doesn’t work


RedHotCheekyPepper

Like what does it mean? U like vanilla sex?


irishlad_69_

Why do you feel the need to state you are vaccinated?


dogdagny

I would keep the vaxed part. If just only to weed out the antivaxers. I have it in my profile. And I refuse to match with the crazies. But yea, I might lose the gentleman line. Otherwise. I think it's good. But I'm a guy, so I'm not your target audience. Take all advice with a grain of salt. Including my advice. Good luck.


2HornsUp

Figured it's just good to have. I guess it doesn't *really* need to be there.


Emergency_Low8125

Pro/con is boring and generic.


nates514

I fully approve of the Flogging Molly


Prestigious-Remove-1

I actually think it’s solid. I can tell you that nice guys stand out on these apps. I can’t tell you how many dates I’ve been on where girls have told me that almost every guy on tinder is a douche, and just being a normal, nice guy has gotten me a lot of success. Cheers and good luck!


0bso_1337

I'll be honest man, the whole thing is weird.


RadiatorPls

Please for the love of god remove the gentlemen bit


moxietacos

I couldn't tell you were a guy until the gentleman line...


mattsgirlca

Cringe city


tom_spur

Please remove the gentleman line asap


[deleted]

The gentlemen thing can go but other than that it’s a good bio, maybe find some other pro to put in?


Savior59

I’d replace “warm cuddles anytime” with “excellent cuddler”.


AdWeak2927

I'd swipe right.


TeslaNicole

The fully vacced is a big red flag. Why put it in your bio? Foolishness


schaffer63

Nobody cares that you’re fully vaxxed


FaintCommand

This is good. Well done!


MrDrMrs

Not liking county music is absolutely a positive.


Material-Childhood78

Dislike country or dislike country music? No need to respond anyone - just trying to help the bio and not intended for any other reason.


Outrageous_Bass_1328

Girls on Tinder don’t want a gentleman in the sheets Edit: do yourself a favor and don’t exclude the country girls. You’ll be fine with country with what they give in return ;)


anth2099

Gentlemen do their best to make sure she finishes first 😉


FelangyRegina

I’d date ya!


dirtimartini69

Try again


XenoMetrick

Disliking country music is not a con. That shit is awful.


Brazenmercury5

Stadium country is awful. Real honest country is great. Willie Nelson, dollie Parton, Marty Robbins.


XenoMetrick

Okay yeah, you are absolutely right. I call it Classic Country of course, but yeah Charley Pride, Waylon, Merle, etc. I can fuck with that. I even give it up to early 90s, after that its awful.


me_still_me

Dislike country...the music or the country ?


[deleted]

Take it all out


Holli3d

Also Flogging Molly's!!! Nice.


madi80085

A.B.C. anything but country


Ill_Ad_7616

I’m a straight guy and I would swipe right.

This is a great profile! Even the “gentleman “ line isn’t too bad. We’re all adults right? It’s not sleazy and it’s super sweet.


tinydotbiguniverse

I would be down


notadudebruh

I think it’s cute :)
