So I'm noticing a new problem...
I'm matching with solid 7s, 8s, (and, dare I say, 9s) BUT because they're probably in such high demand by the "Chad Thundercocks" I'm getting no responses to my initial messages.
Also, I need to get better at opening messages. My standard "Hey [name], how's your week going? Anything interesting or eventful happen?" isn't going to cut it with these girls because they probably get that all the time.
