I may be a cynic, and I haven't tried this myself, but I would hazard a guess that doing this could boost a typical straight male's number of matches from none to a dozen a day. With that quantity of chats started, you can then experiment with various responses like "I don't really look like a model, but I identify as one" until you find someone receptive, with the benefit of loss aversion/sunk cost of her having already started a conversation with you.
Instead of the filter being the "match" both sides can then decide based on actually conversing.
- komali2 2y agoI don't think the dating world maps that well to the job search world in that aspect. The only similarity between the two is I think high volume is a good idea. Playing the field. I think you market yourself entirely different in both though. Job hunt you need to seriously talk yourself up, dating expects more subtlety and humbleness while selling yourself (well I guess depending on the kind of people you're trying to date). Imo the strategy you're speculating on would never succeed because more than anything it would demonstrate lack of confidence.

- toast0 2y agoYeah, that works, because it turns out you were already in a long term relationship with that person.
