The best first message on Hinge
Verdict first
"Hey, how's your week?" is what everyone sends. Hook into one specific detail from her profile and add a little play — that's what gets replies.
The formula
Detail from her profile + your take on it + an easy thing to answer. Under two lines. A few examples:
Your dog looks like he has strong opinions about the mail carrier
Hiking photos at sunrise — so you're either very disciplined or you never went to bed
Okay, I need your top 3 tacos in the city. This is a serious matter
What kills openers
Compliments on looks only, interview questions, and anything longer than the screen. You're starting a conversation, not submitting an application.
