This shit is hilarious, been on it for 2 days.  Getting a lot of messages from girls, most of whom are hideous.  

In terms of the "replies often" vs "replies selectively" shit -- should I reply to all these ugos just to make my "replies" thing be "often"?  Is it better to come off as someone who replies often, e.g. encourage girls to message me?  Or should I ignore the uglies (so far I've done this) and get a "replies selectively" rating?  Does the replies selectively rating help filter out uglies?  I also don't want to filter out timid hotties.

Anyone who has had an account for long enough to see a difference / knows about this shit, please do let me know.

So far this shit is fucking unfair.  Absolutely no fucking work, meeting cool hotties.  Will NEVER REPLACE GOING OUT (you fucking internet troll fuckers who think this will solve your lack of social skills) but I'm all about this in terms of meeting quality chicks quickly and insanely easily (e.g. we have a lot in common in terms of taste which I care a lot about -- I just can't put up with hot girls who I don't respect, that's me).

Advice sincerly appreciated.

Cheers
-Cat

That shit doesn't seem to matter.  If you're cool, you're cool.  If you have the "Rarely replies" thing, then some low-self-esteem girls might filter themselves out by not trying, but meh.

Cool profile + decent pics, I get messaged pretty regularly, and I reply to about 80% of them, so my reply thing is probably green and says I reply a lot.

If you're not attracted to the girl who's messaging you, then fuck it, don't reply.

Since I posted this I've had a shitton of beasts message me.  The last one said that she can see why my reply rate is selective because I am hot.  I guess that means its selective now.  

I just dont want to message back the uglies because I dont want to get their hopes up.  At the same time I want the cute hotties to message me regularly.  I just don't think it happens that much online.  Had a few visit my page who I ended up messaging.

My response rate for the one templated message I'm sending is ridiculous.  Two numbers already, called one and it's damn solid.  Good photos + a ridiculous profile is winning so much.

Anyone else?

There's a reason why these girl's are dating "online".  Most of the girls look worse in real life, so take that into account.

Anyway, why would a any guy worry about a reply rate? Girls don't do math when it comes to tossed salad.  Ok, hookers and gold diggers may do math, but they care about the benjies, not reply rates.

If you seem like a cool guy, guy with "value", girls will hit up.  Also, why would anyone waste a second of their life thinking about hideous girls they won't fuck.

For an easy increase just jack your salary and height up a little extra.
