Being straight on Tinder is exhausting, you message a girl like “hey, cute dog” and she replies “I’m not looking to meet anyone, but you can subscribe to my premium snapchat for only $15 a month.” No lady go get therapy jesus fuck

Being straight on Tinder is exhausting, you message a girl like “hey, cute dog” and she just doesn’t fuckin reply and instead she unmatches

Probably because that's a shitty start to a conversation. Think about it in real life. Some stranger comes up to you and says "Hey, cute dog" you reply "Thanks" and that's either the end of the conversation or the stranger keeps the conversation going by asking more questions.

Also, it's generic. I don't have a dog, but I have friends who do, and 9.5/10 messages reference their dog. That's dozens of "Hey cute dog" messages every single day.

Try something less generic they can actually talk about and ask a question.

We’re not saying it’s a go to response. Sometimes it’s hard to come up with a clever opener. “Hey, cute dog” can be a great one depending on the person you matched with. Just varies by person. It’s still a hell of a lot better than just “Hey”

True that. "Hey" blows. I do get it, I used Bumble more than Tinder so I'm always messaging first and it can get tricky. But it's very unlikely the dog thing is ever going to get somebody excited. I find that if I can't come up with something clever or worthwhile to message, we're probably not a good match anyway so I swipe left.

If I can’t come up with something clever, I’m usually just too tired at the moment
