A few observations:
-the quality on match.com has noticeably declined since I was last single and looking in the USA 3 years ago. Most of the women in my age group are single/divorced moms with attitudes (like the one I linked to), and tragic fatties/fuglies. Match.com used to have more quality/young professional women, but even the 20-somethings are disturbingly closer now to the quality of OKC/POF.
-A lot more p4p bots on match.com, almost worse that Tinder was in my area last winter.
-Approximately 40% of profiles messaged do not view me/read their message. Do I still need a bigger sample size?
-women are way more flakey. As mentioned, I landed dates with women in 2014 with the same opener I'm using now. The girls who have responded are viewing my profile after I ask for the number and still flaking.
-I'm more likely to get a response from women w/out kids like myself than the divorced/single moms.
-the cut-and-paste opener at least gets responses!! Writing more original/engaging messages got me nothing. I guess when you're living in an era where women online don't take things seriously, the less serious messaging style is what they're more attracted to??
