on a hinge

Being left in a state of unknown. Expected to pivot and go in any direction at any time. Last minute scheduling and schedule changes resulting in conflict in every day life.
I might be traveling to the other side of the world this week but my company expects me to live life on a hinge because that won't be confirmed until I either receive my airline ticket the day before or wake up at home the day after the project starts.

Here are a few ways to make yourself popular on big-name dating apps like Tinder, especially in big cities. Here are a few (unwritten!) rules in exact ascending (beginning) order:

Photofeeler

Use Photofeeler. If you don't know what that website is, search it up on your bar. Photofeeler is THE ONLY reliable website to measure your looks. Aim for 20 to 40 votes, which is the standard factor.

EMPATHY-associated pictures are always encouraged. A picture of you next to a gentle pet - a dog, a cat, a rabbit, a guinea pig, a goldfish, or such similar beings - will increase your matches by a vast percentage.

DON'T EVER use any pictures where you are posing near or inside a car or truck, regardless of how nice it looks. JUST DON'T. Unless gold diggers are what you're aiming for, please avoid the car pictures. And ESPECIALLY stay away from a car your parent or boss owns.

For reuse on dating apps

In addition to the entire Photofeeler section written above, make sure that when you are finished, prioritize the one with the highest total score (all photos should have attractiveness scores of no less than 5.0 out of 10, with an absolute minimum "confidence interval" rating of 4.0 out of 10). Contrary to popular belief, attractiveness alone will NOT get you dates. But smartness and trustworthiness combined with attractiveness will earn you multiple dates and even a whole relationship.

DO NOT mention politics or religion especially if your attractiveness score is less than 7.0.

Hinge

In a closed polyamorous relationship where two people are NOT involved with eachother but are both involved with a third person, this third person is known as the hinge.

This comes from the visual of a hinge, with two things connected to it but not to eachother and still functioning as a whole.

This could be considered the opposite of a unicorn.
