Quick tip for anyone who is trying out online dating sites

i dont do dating sites.. they are just full of immature people who just want to fuck and run or married people looking for something outside of their marriage..

I usually open with American Psycho quotes.

better yet...don't go near dating sites

Good advice. It's like starting out a CV with "Purpose: I need a job."

Back when I was single ... it used to amaze me at how lame some initial contacts were from guys on dating sites.

Basically, if you didn't get me interested in your first contact, you probably will get ignored.

From someone who struggled with this for years, I get it, you start to feel frustrated and you stop putting in the effort to be appealing.

But yes of course you're exactly right, it's either obvious right off the bat that you're not putting in any effort ('hey') or that you're trying too hard, indicating desperation ('I've just read every one of your stories, I love your style! you're amazing!'). It's difficult to introduce yourself without going down either of these avenues, or sounding like you're bragging.

What's the best way to initiate a conversation with you then?

I'd rather get to know someone first,what their like

Or call them babe, dear, honey, etc.

"Hi I noticed your profile mentioning you have an interest in [u][b]*Something shes interested in*[/b][/u]. I may not know much about the subject, but I would really like for you to tell me more about that, if you mind sharing that is.

Will patiently await your reply"

.... How does that work for you? 🤔

Bra size? - is that a good opening line?

a cheesy joke..anything is better than "hi"

I honestly think most of them are males, faking to be female.

Maybe they just arent interesting or charming & they're doing their best.
