Iā€™m trying not to be condescending here but the math here is very simple.

If 80% of womenā€™s profiles are missing descriptions and youā€™re supposed to say no to 49/50 profiles, then you still have 9 remaining profiles with details to say No to before you still get to the one single Yes.

That means of the 20% of ā€œgoodā€ profiles, the ones that arenā€™t bots or arenā€™t trying to sling an OnlyFans, the ones with genuine photos and good descriptions in their profiles, youā€™re still supposed to say No to 1 in 10.

Say No to 95% of all profiles. The same way you would in real life if you went to a random bar. Youā€™re not approaching 50% of the women in that bar even if 100% are guaranteed single. Not even 25%. You might say something to 1 or 2.

Iā€™m a super middle of the road white male. Iā€™m have some of the favored traits in that Iā€™m 6ft tall on the dot, and classically masculine looking, but Iā€™m also pretty fat, and a total nerd. Like 100ā€™s of days on RuneScape plays dnd once a week kind of nerd. I have no problem with dating sites. My only ā€œgimmickā€ is I know how to cook and make that somewhat focal on my profiles. Thatā€™s the whole formula though. I put dumpy ass photos of myself being myself as my profile pics so as to make sure that if we do get to in person meeting that I always look better than my photos, and then only swipe on people I see myself attempting to actually go on a date with. I spent about 2 weeks on hinge a year ago, and have been with the person I met ever since and we live together now. I have met all but one girlfriend in this way over the course of about 8 years of relationships ending and beginning. Itā€™s totally doable my friends I promise.
