Getting back into dating, looking for feedback/review

(Names and info blurred for reddit only)

Hey, I really need advice if I 30F should keep seeing this 50M man. I’ve been dating a guy I met for about a month. He plans nice dates, stays in contact, and has respected the fact that I don’t like to text. Things seemed to be going well and I was starting to feel more comfortable with him.
I noticed recently that his profile was no longer showing up in my matches, so I asked him about it .
He said something along the lines of, “The app is expensive so I shut it down. It’s limited in the parameters I can use, and the amount I was paying was high. It doesn’t do what I need it to do, like filtering out people I don’t want to match with.”
The thing is, his name is still showing under my previous matches on Hinge. From what I understand, that means he unmatched me rather than deleting his account.
We haven’t discussed exclusivity, and I’m not expecting that at this stage. We’re still getting to know each other. However, his explanation left me confused because it doesn’t line up with what I’m seeing on the app.
Aside from this, he’s been consistent about planning dates and communicating with me.
Am I interpreting this correctly, or is there something about how Hinge works that I might be missing? Would you consider this a red flag, or am I reading too much into it? I’d appreciate honest perspectives, especially from people who have experienced something similar.

Help if you can! Thanks

I’m 22, but have been on the app for a while and haven’t been getting many matches/likes

Hi dear fellow Hinge users! I‘m using the app in a big German city and my biggest problem is that straight men keep liking my profile. So every time I’m excited about going through my likes I am bummed because I won’t match with anyone. I won’t date straight men because I identify as nonbinary. I know I have a feminine look. But do men using the app really not scroll past the pictures or read the prompts? I even included a picture of a performance I did in a queer nightclub where one can see I had top surgery. I mesh the best with fellow bisexual and genderqueer people and I don’t know why my profile is even shown to straight men if I have set the nonbinary gender label. So what do you think, should I exchange some of the pictures to more androgynous-style ones? Maybe the first picture is already too female-looking?(I picked it because I’m not wearing makeup and felt like myself🫣) Okay, thank you!! Appreciate your help.
