Oh sorry. I didn't think of clicking through to read the profile. Duh. My bad.

So let me get this straight....all this time I have been crafting creative ice breakers and all I need to do was copy and paste a "Hi. How are you?" into every profile???? BOOM. Epiphany. haha

But no seriously, I can't do that. It feels way too unromantic, dull, and lazy. What happens when you retell your "how you met" story? Writers love their stories.

And I still think forcing women to approach men first is not empowering. Tinder blocks out unwanted messages too. You only see the message if you both have swiped right on each other. But he can message the women first.

On Tinder, if you are a nontraditional woman, you can still message first. If you are traditional...you wait for him to message. I don't see the point in making it more complicated. We complicate dating enough as it is.
