I have heard men complain about the fact that they will match with women on dating apps and send them a message and the women will often not respond.

Let me offer something:

If your opening message is asking a woman:

how her weekend is going

how her evening is going

what she’s up to this weekend/ evening

Or any other dry toast question that one would ask a friend where there is already an established relationship, you are severely hurting your chances.

She does not want to tell Matt, 37, what she’s up to right now. Because you know what she’s up to? Probably lying on her couch scrolling through hundreds of men trying to find one iota of heat between her legs.

Tell her why you want to get to know her. Express your intentions, desires or what it felt like to see her profile. And if you can’t because you just quickly swiped and you’re not actually that interested, go play a video game instead.
