"How hard can it be?", I said.
They say you just gotta keep putting yourself out there but I can't help but feel like I'm super bad at this.
Ladies of Imgur, feel free to give advice: what peaks your interest in a first message?
CrassiusCurio
What service did you use? I think a lot of online dating services just speed up the process, rather than actually getting a different result

Online dating is hard. I find most to be shallow. I usually engage in convo with most guys who message me Bc you never know.

Online dating is tough. lots of women give up when their inbox is flooded with messages that are either 1 word, copy pasted or sexridden.

WhoShotMeInTheHead
How hard can it be? Depends on her profile pictures
DocTanner
Buh dum tish.
jpiazza92

Few tips: Don't be pushy, be patient. Wait the amount of time she waited to answer. Look thru her profile for stuff you have in common.

It's a numbers game.

Try bumble. since the women have to message first I seem to Get a lot more actual interest then just swipe and forget.
DocTanner
There is a *slight* chance that I confused that app with Grindr and then forgot it even existed.

I think a lot of girls are scared of by super intense messaging. Questions are good, but paragraphs not so much — at least at the beginning
DementedDisney
Strange but interesting facts and/or witty jokes (in no way sexual...at all) always did it for me.

See the thing is, you don't need other people. You're better than them.
DocTanner
Maybe, but they're still pretty cool.
EuphoricMadness
I mean like. I would do weird shit of my date offered to take me to the new Star Wars
Amazingamandaaaaa
I seem to have the same problem @op
DjNeHi
Actually the statistic I heard was 100 messages to guarantee one response so you haven't failed enough yet.
TypoInEveryComment
I live in a little City and after I tried it for a yeat it was weird seeing all of them in real life! None of them answered me but they knew
DocTanner
Must. Fail. Harder.
RRenda
Women, modern day. What did you expect? They're all pieces of shit. Littered with makeup and prosthetics but want a real man? Give it up!
DocTanner
You okay, buddy?
j4bberw0ck
I'll loan you my pick up line, only works on Harry potter fans though.
DocTanner
Does it involve your "wand"?
j4bberw0ck
"are you a Hufflepuff? What a coincidence, I am a Slytherin. And once I Slytherin you will be Hufflepuffing all night long." It Got me laid.
FirstLaughOfTheDay
I agree it sucks ive only been single for 5 months after 10 years I give up
FriendlyNeighbourhoodSatan
Youre going to fail a lot, but thats ok. Only have to be successful once
lunatoro
Say hi!
DocTanner
Hi!
yanaimean
Just ask a question that proves you read her entire profile. Literally a conversation starter to attract a quality woman. 1/2
rottenstock
Doesn't that only work if they read the message and don't go straight to your profile?
yanaimean
You mean if they reply without reading it? It's possible. But a quality woman will take the time to read it + check out your profile if 1/2
yanaimean
They are interested.
yanaimean
Obv this only works if they like your profile first.
rottenstock
If they like your photo, that's where they go first
yanaimean
Ideally about a shared interest. Worked for me, straight guy here and that's how I met my soulmate. Good luck!
Frozenspokes
Maybe don't start with, "Want sum fuk?"
SquishyWubbles
Well I actually had some luck with that.
DocTanner
What if I send it in meme form?
annakata
How dank are we talking?
DocTanner
If my Pepes were magic cards, they'd be basic lands.
annakata
Full art, beta, apac, wb, or draft box?
DocTanner
Starter set.
OriginalPlam
Have you tried being attractive. Works for me.
ReznorsApostle
Everytime. So I’ve heard. :(
DocTanner
I've considered it, but I don't think it's for me.
WorstRingStingEver
Then try being rich, that usually trumps beauty. Pun intended.
gravyandfries
For real, never put my salary on a site. Decided to try it and got four dates from previous people i talked to.
SquishyWubbles
Yeah but those DLC's aren't available to everyone..
DocTanner
I paid for the loot box, but the drop rate sucked.
SquishyWubbles
Yeah the roll of the dice. Some people are just genetically lucky.. And for the rest we've got humor right?
DocTanner
Hah! Yeah! Totally... we got that. ... right? But, um, just to be sure, where do I find that again?
SquishyWubbles
You didn't get the memo for that update? There was a meeting.. A while ago.. You didn't? Well for you there's this thing called alcohol!
