Men send "Hey" to weed the bots and fake profiles. It's that simple And even then, "hey" is a correct way of starting a conversation. Sure it can be improved, using something about their profile works better. Though to be honest, women who start with the "entertain me" mentality, that's a good hint that she's not going to work out.

The fact that anyone tries to call this "entertain me" proves my point. There are such women of course, but this tiny trivial level of effort and sincerity is not that. This is exactly what I mean by pathetic.

Wouldnt be easier just send message "Hi, I'm sending this message to check whether this profile is bot or fake profile, if it ain't please respond that you are INSERT FUNNY REMARK, thanks." if you really use this message for such purpose and then you can just copypaste it.

  Having read their profile, I usually already have something pretty much effortless to say, like "I googled up that that black gold finishing technique you mentioned and it's fascinating. I never even heard of that." So if anything, they had to step up and entertain me fist, since they had to even have anything remotely interesting in their profile to talk about like that. And yes I did the same in mine.

    Yes, if they have such information on their profile then it's a great way to start your first message. Which is a good start, I mean, a lot of women don't even think to identify themselves in pictures with their friends. Though you then risk get an "ok" back because that wasn't "cool enough" So you're free to do better then, the bots will appreciate it as well

  A CAPTCHA sounds exactly what a man-bot would send as a first message, to weed-out its peer woman-bots.

> Men send "Hey" to weed the bots and fake profiles. It's that simple That may be why some men do it, but that doesn't counter an observation that better results can be acheived by using that behavior as a strong negative signal. > And even then, "hey" is a correct way of starting a conversation In a zero-latency medium with non-verbal side channels, like face-to-face oral conversation, sure. In text media, even where I know I want yo interact with someone, I find it annoying.
