The new hinge profile that I created after getting banned is still live, but it hasn’t received a single like after a week. I’m using the same pics as before (which got good results on hinge and still getting good results my other apps) just flipped and superficially edited a bit. Makes me think that something fishy is going on. Even expanded my search radius etc. and still nothing. Will tinker with it some more and see what happens next week. Mind you I’m still using the same iphone but with a different number so maybe that’s a potential cause. Still I thought that shadowbanning wasn’t a thing so I’m not really sure what to think.

One interesting thing though is that when I flipped my pics to try and fool the algorithm I noticed that I didn’t like them as much (I think my face looks weird) but I figured that it was probably just because I was used to seeing them the other way. You guys tell me, is it just me or does the flipped profile pic below look worse?

Shadowbanning absolutely still exists, and it sounds to me like you're shadowbanned. If so it's definitely because you didn't use a new device.

The mirrored photos look equally good to me, but I have the same thought about my own mirrored photos. It's a pretty wild psychological phenomenon.

For photoshoots, why not cold DM girls on Instagram?

It happened to me recently on tinder and i had to go through the whole loop to get matches again.

I have some conspiracy theories about what is happening ( i hear this more and more especially with a bit more "risquè" profiles like mine)

I know, right? I felt the same way with my own photos but with Colton I'm just like, "This looks normal to me?"

You can't use the same phone after a ban bro. Every phone has a unique IMEI number which the dating apps can identify and you'll get shadow banned or perma banned again.

Just pickup up a Xaiomi Redmi 9A on Amazon - they're like $90, and work fine for online dating and you should be able to return to Amazon fairly easily if you get banned again and need to try again with a new phone.

Thanks for the input guys. Yeah still no results on Hinge and I assume it is a shadow ban. I reverted back to my old pics just to see if I get totally banned or not. Also it still lets me swipe but it only shows me total bombshells (like 9s and 10s) which supports the idea that it’s not showing my profile to anyone and ranking me.

Prob not gonna buy a new phone right now just for hinge but if I need to in order to get back on Facebook as well then it would be more worthwhile

Anyway -

This Week:

Gained 2 reps to my incline bench press. 240x6. Going to try and improve on my weighted chins next. Will hit it twice per week until I do.

Only added 100 to the stock portfolio because I’m still paying off my new camera gear. Took all day Thursday to practice using it and definitely made some good progress. I like the idea of taking one day per week off from “work” to try and focus on building something or pursuing a goal.

On the style front, I finally landed a piece of outerwear that fits me and looks cool, thanks to @Radical and his style program. Bomber jacket from Alpha industries.

-

Tried something new that you pervs will probably like. 10/10 better than whipped cream, would recommend. Girl was on her period so wanted to try something different

This is the group (replace with your local metropolis):
[removed for privacy]

All groups are private and impossible to join without an extremely convincing female profile.

We've managed to gain access to the one here in New York City using a girl's profile and one of my wings (who is a Chad-lite) had a post about him. Basically any attractive guy on the apps is gonna be in there, simply because you get outsized exposure to women.

Increased weighted chin ups this week to body weight plus 110lbs x 4.

Added 2 reps to side lateral raises and 2 reps to lying triceps extensions.

Nailed a sexy cop at her place this week. Didn’t realize it was a turn on until I matched with her lol

Also I’ve been contemplating/learning about orthotropics and especially how to do it during sleep. I’ve started doing the “chin tuck” exercise while I’m swiping on my phone each day.

@MakingAComeback I know you’re quite the expert on mewing and remember you saying that sleeping on your side is the best way to go. I’m curious if you use any particular type of pillow when you do this or if you have any tips for maintaining proper spinal alignment while doing this. I’ve had a tough time sleeping on my side and always default to back sleeping.

On another note I got my 2023 goals written down and ready to go. I’m tempted to share them here but somehow I’ve found it more gratifying to keep them to myself and not talk about stuff I haven’t accomplished yet. I have 3 goals in total, the top 2 being about investing and looksmaxing

@Radical @AskTheDom Thanks guys I appreciate that but if I can get some further improvement then I’m all for it. I’m actually not totally new to mewing, I’ve been doing it more or less since I was 19 but could be more disciplined about it. The way I see it, it’s just about proper habits.

Also I’ve struggled to get the sleep part dialed in and have started snoring a lot so that’s why I posed the question here

This week-

Increased weighted chins to bw +110 x 5 reps.

Added a rep to rear delt flyes.

Added just $50 to the portfolio. Hopefully can get my gear all paid off by next week and then be freed up to invest more again. Primary goal for this next year is investing.

@Paid Renegade how long you been doing weighted chins for?

Best I've ever gotten to is probs BW+15kg for reps, but never been consistent enough to get beyond that.
