i bought premium and got about 200 matches over the last week that i found were attractive/intelligent/interesting etc. messaged every single one open ended questions not yes/no things. probably 75 didnt answer at all and expired. 25 said something like "good question lol" or "hey" ignoring my question. 10 were lengthy replies answering my question well but not leaving anything for me to ask back or continue the conversation. 45 were ok replies but lead to me just asking questions and them answering interview style. 40 were short uninterested replies. 5 were genuine replies and questions based off my reply. those are rough estimates obviously lol. but god this week has been exhausting. just going to save my time and only message people who seem truly interested now and extend the match.
