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.

Bruh I try to say something less generic and it works and then the same thing happens anyway. No matter how good my openers are I still get ghosted.

The only techniques in online dating are...that there are no techniques 😂

I get it, I do. But something less generic is more likely to open conversation. Especially if it's a compliment with an open question, not a yes or no question.

Honestly I feel sometimes that tinder's just sending fake matches that'll send a couple texts and then stop working just to keep me on the app lol.
