    PSA: If you’re a guy on a dating site and you reply with just “hey” or something similar to a lady then you’ve fucked up.

    You get one shot at a semi-witty reply that may get her to smile before your reply is buried under 100 other guys also vying for her attention.

    Just quickly read her profile and make some kind of riff off of it with an open ended question.

    “Hey blahblah I saw you liked The Office, I’m more of a fan of working from home myself.

    Also, why’s everyone seem to be looking for Jim? Who’s that guy?”

      I guess, but wasn’t the point of bumble to turn that on it’s head? Like, traditionally, the guy on a dating site is supposed to come up with a semi-witty first text in order to not be buried. Bumble set itself apart by having the lady message first to avoid that, right? What happened?
