If your advice is to stay off it, save it, no shit bub.
I get a decent amount of matches but I keep having a problem where I get maybe 5 messages into a conversation and the woman ghosts.
I start off asking how things are going then try to start conversation based on her bio. This seems to go nowhere.
What am I doing wrong? Am I supposed to call them cute immediately and begin the conversation with that?
I could get really detailed but there's way too many variables for me to deal with in a comment. I don't know what you look like. I don't know where you live. I don't know your age. I don't know your career or your interests. Depending on all of those things you could be totally hopeless or you could be an easy fix. What I do know for sure is that your negative attitude is going to make any of those situations worse than it is. If you're a fat ugly blob loser whose main interests are video games and hating people over the internet and you refuse to change than you'd be better off embracing it and just resolving to see a pro sometimes. Maybe you're not a piece of shit but you're unwilling to compromise on your standards... Then you'll probably be better off just stepping out of the game. If you're not hopeless and you do want in... You're probably going to have to settle on one thing or another. Life isn't fair. You're not entitled to anything. They're are plenty of fat or ugly women that aren't insufferable dumb whores because the dating market and their own sense of self worth didn't allow for it. I assure you all pussy feels the same and everyone looks the same in the dark.
Maybe things will change over time. Maybe they won't. Maybe it'll take too long for it to matter for you. Bitching about it will only make you feel worse.
