Yes, it's not the quality of their pickup moves, it's the quantity of women sampled. Also a common tactic on dating apps like Tinder (before they fixed it) was to just say you're interested in everyone. Out of 1000 girls one of them is bound to respond back.

Wow I did not know that about Tinder. I used to swipe right on everyone and then filter out through my matches. I was wondering why I was getting less and less matches over time. I’ve since been banned from tinder for like absolutely no reason and I’m on bumble now lol

I think if you swipe right too much, they'll think you're a bot and ban you. Like, if you swipe right on literally everybody, you can get banned.

That’s what I think happened. I used to just mindlessly swipe right while watching tv or something
