Come to think of it, the women that liked me first on Hinge almost always led to lays but I would be interested in knowing what market you are in. Ever since I moved down to Miami, I rarely get likes and this is despite having professionally done photos on the app. I have liked women and lucked out by matching with women that were quite attractive but again, its only been about 17 or so in the past couple of weeks (all women I liked that liked me back). Lots of dead convos except for a handful wanting to connecting off of the app.One thing I should mention here, I don't know if it's been brought up
I rarely send out likes, I've sent out less than 100 since I reinstalled Hinge in November, might only be around 50-60. Almost all my matches are from women liking me first.
In general, the only women I pursue are the ones who liked me first and actually initiated the conversation with some kind of comment/question.
OLD does not have to be time consuming - you simply need to learn how to funnel women in and filter out all the ones who aren't high IL. Good pictures and bios (or prompts in the case of Hinge) help you tremendously. I can bet that any guy who complains about OLD being hard has bad photos. NEVER upload selfies or generic NPC photos (holding a fish, for instance).
What gets me is that back in the day, like before COVID and around the 2017-2019 time frame, I had mediocre pics but could make a living off of the apps alone. In total, I was getting 4 to 5 dates a week in NYC back in 2019 off of the 3 major apps + Coffee Meets Bagel.
Now in 2023 when I have had pro pics done by a real photographer that knows what they are doing, it has gone dead for me. Outside of Hinge where I usually like the girl first, the success has been hard to come across. Bumble and Tinder are practically dead for me and I am convinced that there is either a shadowban at play or my profile has long been drowned.
Part of it could be that I am in my 30s now and a number of women have me filtered out based off of that.
However, even my wings and friends I talk to in their 20s who are decent looking guys struggle. I think that it might as well be the market here in Miami where women are looking for sugar daddies.
