It is assumed that longer messages take longer to compose. But that's only true if you're starting from scratch every time. You should instead write one good generic message and send it out to many people, only inserting one sentence to reflect on something specific to the particular profile.
- msluyter 17y agoI think (smart) women can usually deduce that you've done that, and tend to react negatively.
- seldo 17y agoYour assumption is that he is looking for smart women.
- dkarl 17y agoThe reaction you'll get is, "He's really slick at promoting himself." Most women will speak this sentence with a curled lip and a tone of disdain, but if you're looking for women who like a guy with an elevator pitch, this just might work.
- miloshh 17y agoI think that's unlikely, but it would be an interesting experiment to find out for sure.
- roundsquare 17y agoIf so, then maybe some middle ground will work. E.g. the more interested you are, the more you customize the message.
- taw 17y agoI tried this on okcupid and elsewhere, but short custom messages work far better than long generic ones.
