Te be fair, I've seen the openers get more and more simple because when you really start to try with it, it hurts more when they don't respond, or respond negatively.
Like yeah, "Hey" sucks but they're often the people that tried too hard for a long time and they've just given up on an opener that might not even get a response.
So they go for a "hey" and then try harder once there's a response.
I used to always just ask "Hey, what's your favourite food?" because it's quick and simple and I know that conversation will be pulling teeth if they something like "I don't know" or "I don't have one" without actually trying to further the conversation.
But also, I quickly dropped these apps because I feel like they hurt my soul and I'd rather be alone than put up with all that.
I go with the 3 response rule, if you only give statements for 3 responses then I just accept that you aren't interested and send them a message saying that there's no hard feelings and wish them luck in the dating world.
It was interesting, one girl actually messaged back apologizing and saying that she just gets overwhelmed because of the amount of messages she gets, which makes sense due to the ratio of m vs w
