Quick tip for anyone who is trying out online dating sites

Don't start your conversation with a compliment. Or a simple "hi", "sup", "what are you doing". Or asking the other for pics/their snapchat/etc.

You'd think people would be better at making people interested in talking to them than that

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.

@NCCindy Women get so many messages from guys. You have to stand out in the that first contact, or get lost in the deluge.
