> most guys don't open the profiles of a girl, and girls open much more often but more for discarding a user than for looking for more information

this is a factor of why it is a loosing strategy to do dinner, drinks and coffee dates

first the user experience is an arduous interview that is reliant on a “spark” that leaves too much to chance

secondly, the ask is for somewhere you can hear each other, “get to know each other”, and have one foot out the door easily to leave

on the woman’s side…. its the same as this article is saying: for disqualifying, not qualifying.

for the guys side, whatever your goal is, would be accomplished by disregarding the woman’s preference. in reality, she likely did go on a more elaborate and rambunctious date, generated endorphins (the spark), got more intimate than her risk models dictate, and then realized she didn't know the guy.

if you want any of that to happen, be like the other guy

it is optimal to be like the 5% guy that is closing with women. if you cannot replicate that on dating apps, you may be able to with other in person approaches and date ideas
