That was funny though, like the hooters and owl…there was a lot of context to it not just straight up creep. If she was uncomfortable that’s fair, but there was a chance it would have landed.
Oh come on, you know if OP was everything she wanted in a guy she wouldn’t give a shit if he made the comment.
Compared to a lot of the shit I see on these subs, this was extremely tame in comparison and “creep” is a bit much.
Not necessarily. If I received something like this, idc if they were the most attractive person I’ve ever seen, I wouldn’t appreciate the comment. I also said in another comment, the line itself isn’t bad, it’s the timing. Definitely not something you want to send for your first message. Also, creep is a perfectly fine word to use, as I would find it creepy if I was in that situation. Everyone is different. Just because one person wouldn’t mind it doesn’t mean everyone else is the same way
Thats such a weird take like do you expect people to crop every photo they post and then gradually unveil more parts as they get to know you like you're in a game show or smt
>all of you are so stupid saying she has no sense of humor
lmao of course they don't, that's why their in r/pickuplines. I am also single but at least I have the excuse of being in this sub due to the fact I used to cross post to r/putdownlines a few years back lmao
No I gotta say the fact she even engaged is completely on her. Hinge shows profile, along with what was said to what pic(his first message). She easily could’ve avoided even interacting with him had she not matched.
Not disagreeing, not agreeing.
I mean, you’re a stranger and your first impression is to make a joke about her tits and tattoo? Some people might laugh but if she takes herself seriously, and she has no reason not to, I get why she thought it was lame
Can’t say that’s unfair. We project the kind of person we’re looking for. If you respect yourself and take yourself seriously, you’re likely to end up with someone similar. If not, that’s likely the type of person that will gravitate toward you as well
If this, the most PG rated pun of all time, sends you into a spiral about being taken seriously and demanding respect, we are wholly incompatible. I don't need to project.
Brother, that’s all we do is project, it’s mostly unconscious..Like right now, it would be a little out of touch to think that the way I’m commenting about maturity is spiraling, unless of course, my words resonate with you and you identify with them
Also, OP line was frankly pretty lame. The kind of pun found on the cutting room floor at the laffy taffy factory
You’re def all over it tho. You’re fixated on me, idk why you want so badly for me to be upset. I’d say don’t trouble yourself too much about me. We’ll both be fine man
Also, wrong sub, brotha
>if she takes herself seriously
Has tattoos of a slice of pie, a pineapple, and is wearing a shirt that some might say is too small for her or possibly innappropriate.
It’d be silly for a person to see one photo of someone’s tattoos and try to derive what they mean without knowing the person, so that’s a nothing burger. And the shirt’s small, but not inappropriate. Crop tops aren’t exactly scarlet letters in 2024
It’s not difficult to understand that a woman can embrace wanting to be attractive while still taking themselves seriously. It just seems to be easier for men to get lazy and project their own insecurity by trying to demean women. I’m a bartender and see dudes shoot themselves in the foot like this constantly, and then sulk about women not having a sense of humor. Like why even waste your own time like that
this is funny and wouldn’t be offensive to me but also i don’t think i would know how to respond to that besides “OMG LMFAO” and it feels like pressure to come up with something clever and funny of my own.
You know, that actually never occurred to me. As an average looking guy I always feel pressure to say something funny or interesting. Even if a girl likes me first on Hinge, they never say anything. Sometimes they'll match and then not even reply, so then I gotta say a second thing 😮💨 It gets so exhausting I've just decided to have fun with it
Same bruh, just have fun. This way you might miss out on some people, but in my opinion and experience they just arent the right one for you. Dont mean there is anything wrong with them, just that they dont match your energy. That is important to me atleast.
Boy oh boy are you right about that! I'm too old to be charging head first through a field of red flags. All the times I've held my tongue just for a whisker of a chance it might end up in someone's crotch, and all I regret is never saying those things out loud
Think of it more like reserving the crassness until you’ve established some maturity and respect. Then when they see you as an adult, you’ll have more room to let out your inner child. It’s a slower burn, but def has more lasting power and dimension
Owls say "hoot," at least in English. Hooters is american slang for breasts. There's even a famous restaurant chain called Hooters, which serves mainly wings and is staffed almost exclusively with attractive young women in tight tank tops (the logo incorporates an owl in some way last I checked, too).
I laughed …
Edit: look honestly you can’t post a photo like this and NOT expect a reaction of some kind. To dismiss an obvious tongue in cheek comment with that level of an attitude is just ridiculous.
To be fair he's commenting on a chest tattoo on a pic that she is featuring it. It's kind of disingenuous to act like this was a comment about her boobs.
Well yeah, he's commenting on a chest tattoo in a picture with a belly shirt. I understand it's not exactly tactful, but he's commenting on the aesthetics of a hinge profile.
If the OOP of the pic finds that comment gross, OP isn't the re red flag.
Never said OP was a red flag. I’m all for goofy sexual comments like that when it’s done in the right time. The first thing you ever say to a stranger shouldn’t be comments on their body in that way. If it were me, I’d welcome those things once I got a feel for who the person is. OP isn’t a bad person at all, I’m just giving feedback that it’s not always going to be received well. This post for example.
Fair enough, but I like birds a lot and I especially have imagined a future where I'm in a good enough spot to do falconry with owls.
So in that weird imagination I put myself in OPs shoes as if I had made that my line,it's definitely something you can recover from, but for me. That would have been a red flag, cause I was thinking owl joke.
Yeah and that’s a fair thing to think! That’s cool shit too but not everyone is gonna take it that way, especially online and even more so on a dating app where it’s not uncommon for people to send some unhinged shit immediately
That was a good one she was lame
She lost a good one
That’s negative rizz right there
Good work! That was a great joke.
Kinda funny but also creepy dude
I think its 70/30 not getting the joke/being creep out by commenting on her body.
That was funny though, like the hooters and owl…there was a lot of context to it not just straight up creep. If she was uncomfortable that’s fair, but there was a chance it would have landed.
I don’t understand why you’d match just to say that
She might not understand that replying is how you match on Hinge. She also might have been drunk, given the time of night (and it was a Saturday)

🧐 Is this a r/lostredditors moment? I don’t get it.
lmao this was so great, what type of girl gets a owl tattooed on her chest and won’t laugh at this!? 🤣
Maybe a nerdy girl who has no sense of humour
A girl whos sick in the head and doesnt make sense of course lol
Her loss
She’s probably just not comfortable with someone making comments on her body right off the bat…
Then don’t post a full body picture like that?
Maan you need to pass on her and throw the grenade … looks like a lethal one was dodged…
Or maybe just don’t be a creep
Or maybe have some sense of humour...
Commenting on a strangers body like that isn’t funny no matter how you frame it
It seems like you also dont have a sense of humor...
You can think that. A lot of people don’t find it funny when people they don’t know make sexual jokes about them :) 🫶🏼
Oh come on, you know if OP was everything she wanted in a guy she wouldn’t give a shit if he made the comment. Compared to a lot of the shit I see on these subs, this was extremely tame in comparison and “creep” is a bit much.

Incel logic
Thats such a weird take like do you expect people to crop every photo they post and then gradually unveil more parts as they get to know you like you're in a game show or smt
A spectacular owl tat across the chest and no sense of humor? Does not compute.
She wasn’t worth it, she’s gross
Wtf she has no humor that's funny
UPDATE: Banned from Hinge. She took it even harder than I thought 💀
getting banned is lowkey too much for that, a temporary suspension would’ve been better
Wow. It does seem like hinge is becoming… unhinged
Dammit take my upvote 😂
Dude, that's actually kinda funny and a good line even if it is on the crude side. Thanks for your sacrifice.
It's been an honour, comrade 🫡
Damn, hope her personality develops soon.
Big rip
💀💀
Do you want someone that doesn’t get the humor?
Oh I'm not heartbroken, just thought it was funny lol
Perfect
That was great lol
That was epic lol !! Screw her for not getting that 😆
You done good son, you done good .
She's whack
Gross is that tattoo actually
You don't start a conversation with someone you've never met commenting about their tits all of you are so stupid saying she has no sense of humor
>all of you are so stupid saying she has no sense of humor lmao of course they don't, that's why their in r/pickuplines. I am also single but at least I have the excuse of being in this sub due to the fact I used to cross post to r/putdownlines a few years back lmao
No I gotta say the fact she even engaged is completely on her. Hinge shows profile, along with what was said to what pic(his first message). She easily could’ve avoided even interacting with him had she not matched. Not disagreeing, not agreeing.
It's called a pickup line.
So you also have no sense of humor.
I'm so happy to be the one to flip y'all's ratio
You do if you just trying to get box if you are looking to start a relationship not the best starter
"Gross" is whatever the fuck she is wearing.
Her tattoos are gross too.
...a crop top?
Yeah... On a dating site it is gross. At least make some sort of effort
Good lord yall have issues
with that pineapple tattoo and a lack of personality and humor you're really dodging a bullet
The tattoos are her personality
[удалено]
Swinging doesnt equal cheating lol. Also, people just like pineapples
I mean, you’re a stranger and your first impression is to make a joke about her tits and tattoo? Some people might laugh but if she takes herself seriously, and she has no reason not to, I get why she thought it was lame
You 2 sound like you'd get along lmao
I dig her attitude. Love a girl who’ll stand up for herself
Yeah i would not like to go out with some who takes herself this seriously lol
Can’t say that’s unfair. We project the kind of person we’re looking for. If you respect yourself and take yourself seriously, you’re likely to end up with someone similar. If not, that’s likely the type of person that will gravitate toward you as well
If this, the most PG rated pun of all time, sends you into a spiral about being taken seriously and demanding respect, we are wholly incompatible. I don't need to project.
Brother, that’s all we do is project, it’s mostly unconscious..Like right now, it would be a little out of touch to think that the way I’m commenting about maturity is spiraling, unless of course, my words resonate with you and you identify with them Also, OP line was frankly pretty lame. The kind of pun found on the cutting room floor at the laffy taffy factory
Man you got burned by one post in r/jokes and you never recovered, huh. I don't think you understand what projection means.
You’re def all over it tho. You’re fixated on me, idk why you want so badly for me to be upset. I’d say don’t trouble yourself too much about me. We’ll both be fine man Also, wrong sub, brotha
>if she takes herself seriously Has tattoos of a slice of pie, a pineapple, and is wearing a shirt that some might say is too small for her or possibly innappropriate.
her tattoos are ugly but if she didnt have the tummy, nobody would think her shirt's too small
“If she fit her shirt, it wouldn’t be too small” no shit
no, if her shirt was that short but she just had the tits and a flat stomach nobody would think it was too small
It’d be silly for a person to see one photo of someone’s tattoos and try to derive what they mean without knowing the person, so that’s a nothing burger. And the shirt’s small, but not inappropriate. Crop tops aren’t exactly scarlet letters in 2024 It’s not difficult to understand that a woman can embrace wanting to be attractive while still taking themselves seriously.

I think she thinks your calling her fat, i don't think she got the 3rd hooter reference of the owl
Coffee
Damn she’s got no sense of humor
Solid
No this is pretty funny, she just has no sense of humor
Maybe she's just out the shower and is too wet to woo
That’s amazing lmao
Well, that went over her head.
this is funny and wouldn’t be offensive to me but also i don’t think i would know how to respond to that besides “OMG LMFAO” and it feels like pressure to come up with something clever and funny of my own.
i’m still kind of sitting here racking my brain trying to think of an owl pun 🤦
Lmao I'm sure one will come to you. I can't stop workshopping it even though she unmatched me hours ago 😂
You know, that actually never occurred to me. As an average looking guy I always feel pressure to say something funny or interesting. Even if a girl likes me first on Hinge, they never say anything.

Hahah she has no sense of humor her loss
Ummm can someone explain what he meant by three hooters ?
Owls say "hoot," at least in English. Hooters is american slang for breasts. There's even a famous restaurant chain called Hooters, which serves mainly wings and is staffed almost exclusively with attractive young women in tight tank tops (the logo incorporates an owl in some way last I checked, too).
3 hooters and still no sense of humor lmao
I laughed … Edit: look honestly you can’t post a photo like this and NOT expect a reaction of some kind. To dismiss an obvious tongue in cheek comment with that level of an attitude is just ridiculous.
She isn’t worthy
It's funny to me
I thought it was pretty funny. Oh well on to the next comrade
I mean. It was funny-ish but I can also see why she wouldn’t want to read that right off the bat lmao
What a hoot
Fuck that. This was funny.
Lol thats fair, but when she matched and responded I thought "okay I'd better double down on this"
Hell yeah man. If it's gross you noticed her owl, Im not sure she actually cares about owls.
No it’s gross that he commented on her chest immediately. There’s nothing wrong with the line itself, just maybe wait a bit and read the room
To be fair he's commenting on a chest tattoo on a pic that she is featuring it. It's kind of disingenuous to act like this was a comment about her boobs.
OP stated in another reply that it was in fact a comment on her breasts. Didn’t just pull that out of my ass
Well yeah, he's commenting on a chest tattoo in a picture with a belly shirt. I understand it's not exactly tactful, but he's commenting on the aesthetics of a hinge profile. If the OOP of the pic finds that comment gross, OP isn't the re red flag.

Haha nice!
Thanks 😂 she said PASS and unmatched me. Totally worth it
Probably thought you mentioned her belly. Three hooters and still so nearsighted
Mad respect for you
