Okay, so that just may be one of the weirdest analogies that I've ever made but it's still true.
As I’ve said a million times before, I’m not huge on the whole dating app scene. So I asked girls for their tried-and-true first lines on Bumbles and got you some trusty go-tos to use from here on out. You could get this clever sex machine…Or this guy who knows how to do his research…You could get this guy who was looking to bust a little something more than a nut…Or this guy who has a logical explanation for everything…Or this Renaissance man who was concerned with a woman’s right to say “no” even in a hypothetical game…Or this guy who was simply left speechless by your awesome line…You could find a guy who completely disregards your acknowledgement of his heritage…Or this guy who was offended but intrigued…Or this guy who knows how to return the compliment…
Now I want to know some foolproof ways to make some connections online.
"Every day, the Hinge team is asked if we know the secret to starting a great conversation that will actually lead somewhere," Karen Fein, Hinge's vice president of marketing, says. Since it's our mission to help users move beyond the swipe, to connect over something interesting and to ultimately meet up — we decided to find out." Here are some of Hinge's findings.
If you take nothing else away from the company's results, just know that pretty much anything you say to a new match is better than a simple "hey." To collect information on how Hinge's users respond (or don't respond) to opening lines, Hinge's data analysts and copywriters came up with 100 opening lines and then showed a selection of them to some of their users to see how they would respond.
But Hinge, a popular dating app that introduces users to friends of friends, says it has figured out the best lines to initiate conversation.
The app, which raised a million Series A round of funding last year, conducted a month-long study, analyzing data from its users.
After all, real life is where more than 75% of the world's kissing takes place.
Just how do you get a young lady (or gentleman) to take a chance on you, anyway?
Hinge says you should message men right away because their attention spans tend to be shorter.
If you don't message a guy within six hours, the likelihood he will respond drops by 25%. If you don't message her within six hours, the chance she'll respond drops by just 5%.
