Let's assume her womanly duty obligates her to go out with one new guy from the dating site per week. To accomplish that, she'll have to respond to approximately... one guy per week. Heck, let's be generous and say two. That's eight guys per month out of three hundred emails. Even assuming she never responds to two guys on the same day, she'll delete every single email over 70% percent of the time.
That also assumes that she chooses her dates exclusively from the guys who contact her, forgoing her right to contact any men proactively.
- derefr 17y agoThat's an unsound strategy—what if the perfect guy comes along moments after you make arrangements to see someone else for the week? You just delete the message without reading it? The better strategy is to always read the messages, filtering some out as irrelevant to your interests, and then putting the rest into a priority queue based on appeal. That way, a better guy will jump to the head of the queue, and be contacted the next week. Come to think of it, is there a dating site that automates this? "Getting Things Dated?"
