I've talked to like 6 girls (and one boy that looked like a girl :3 ) off that site. All deeply mentally ill. They'll flirt hard for a day then ghost.

Fucked one KHHV though. That was worth it. So it's still better than like 95% of the jew dating sites.

It's hilarious seeing girls whose profile is like "please message me I'd love to make new friends or talk to anyone I'm so lonely!!" and then their profile shows they only reply to 3% of messages.
Sometimes I see one that replies to 50%+ of messages and I always message those.

Useless crap, where everyone writes to every girl, but no one writes to you. And if someone replies to your intro, then nothing comes of it, because she has 50 more like you and she won't even reply to everyone.
>>
>>33687181
Yeah makes sense.

Femcels want to meet societal beuty standards as bad as any other woman and Asians hate themselves enough to want to comoletely fetishize another skin tone.

White men fill both these validations.

Oh well guess it's still bars and coffee shops for me
>>
>>33687191
All dating slops are apps for girls to find attention, chads, sex, or even a partner. This kind of thing is not designed for ordinary males, period, this is not the app for you, basically. This is an app for femcels to find something interesting and have fun, not for incels.

Because some of the intros I get are actually interesting and I try to have a conversation with those people.
I personally can’t manage more than like 5 convos at a time so I don’t message other people in the meantime.
Anyway, I’ve messaged guys first before, but I believe men should make the first move if there’s romantic interest. It’s just how things are and it’s natural
>>
>>33687291
what is an interesting intro to you? do you have examples? I dont know what standards people have for writing to them. To me its just enough to have someone talk back to you
>>
>>33687291
I'm not necessarily there just to find a girlfriend, after all we all live in different countries, I even write with an online translator. But you don't see any of them as potential husbands either, do you? You just go there to relieve your boredom. And girls should learn not to be passive in order to be interesting.
>>
>>33687291
>but I believe men should make the first move if there’s romantic interest
Tradwife, please. It’s 2025 already
Btw, many relationships today are built on the girl taking the first step. In fact, I see more and more couples like this irl. Even plenty of handsome guys end up with sub girls simply because those girls made the first move. When a guy approaches a girl to ask her out, it often comes across as something cringe or creepy. But when a girl approaches a guy, it’s seen as much sweeter, more charming, cuter and girls tend to face far fewer rejections overall.
>>
>>33687291
>>33687332
By the way, yes. I live in a country where absolutely all the girls do nothing to meet a guy, but guys come to them themselves. And in these conditions, I feel that if a guy tries to meet a girl, she thinks something like "oh no, another one." For me, this is an obstacle.

Look at the persons profile and figure out what to say based on what is included in it. If you cannot think of anything to say after doing this, or the profile gives you nothing to open with then you're better off just not sending an intro.

Yeah I’m casting doubt on that one, dating as a good looking White man feels impossible. Not like my standards are particularly high either. Women from every race on the planet will add me, say one thing and then never talk again. I think they just like screwing with me a bit.

Each female account receives at least 10 intros every day. You're just one of many, and they choose who to reply to without even reading the whole intro. Maybe no one even read your intro. Especially if she's already talking to a few guys, then she'll ignore any new intros altogether.

Yes. If you have the power to change that dynamic, by all means be my guest. Otherwise get with the program and succeed within the rules as written.
>>
>>33688713
Are you a developer?
>>
If the developer is reading this, I hope he knows that this app is absolutely not for shy guys and is generally demotivating for them. I suggest considering a way to force everyone, including girls, to send intros if they want to keep getting intros. Guys never get intros anyway, but if a girl has already received 10 intros and hasn't sent any, you can block her from receiving new intros and show her a message like "you have new intros, but you've already received many intros and haven't sent any. Send one to someone." And you can show the least popular people at the top of the search results. I don't claim that this idea is the perfect solution, but it's all I can come up with after thinking for just one minute.
>>
>>33688745
Didn't Bumble already do this by forcing women to initiate? Or was that Hinge? idk.
It doesn't work because women will just go somewhere else rather than use an app that forces them to put in effort.
>>
>>33688752
I have no idea what this is. Tell me more.
>>
>>33688752
If a girl sees that the app forces her to make the first move at least once every 10 intros and this makes her want to leave, then I don’t know what you can even talk about with such a girl. Such girls are obviously very narcissistic and spoiled.

>>33688771
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumble#Matching_users
>In matches between a man and a woman, the woman must initiate the conversation with their match or the matches disappear within 24 hours;
They were forced to add changes to this because women either used non-initiations like sending a period or just an emoji to pressure the man to start a conversation, or they'd use response bots to spam every single person they match with using the same message and only reading 1 out of 100 responses.
>This process changed in 2024 when Bumble launched Opening Moves; the feature allows female users to add prompts to their profiles for men to respond to. For same-sex and nonbinary users, either person can use these prompts.
Basically women will do literally anything to avoid initiating a conversation with a dude. It's insane.
>>
>>33688745
I actually really like this idea
It could do with some tweaking but this could be a great feature
I briefly used Duo when I thought I had enough social battery and was ready to meet new people, but it became overwhelming pretty quickly
I like actually giving people a chance individually, and seeing if it goes anywhere, not just being glued to my phone trying to juggle conversations and completely frying my dopamine receptors
The main complaint I see about modern dating sites are: for men, it seems like women just want easy attention, never actually putting any effort in - and for women, the amount of messages, not even from men who seem compatible or genuinely interested, just messaging because it's a female
This could be a good start at addressing both
>>
>>33688776
Women could solve this issue themselves by just ignoring messages received unless she initiated the conversation. Dunno why you need a feature to do it for you.
>>
>>33688795
Did you miss the entire thread of men feeling ignored by women?
>>
>>33688809
No my point is women are doing it on purpose. If you add features that incentivize the woman to message first they'll just find workarounds to maintain the status quo. Because the status quo is what they're comfortable with.

Or rather, even IF you managed to force women to initiate, that just consolidates all the messages around the top 1% of men. Dating sites like OKCupid already have this data. Women's messaging habits aren't an equal distribution; they'll only initiate with a guy that ticks literally every box. If you're confident that's you then I guess it could work. For everyone else it'll just mean the site is dead for not just men but also women, and users will leave faster.
>>
>>33688809
I mean if you get ignored women aren't going to send you intros either. The site would just die.

>>33684370
>>33688745
>>33688776
The underlying issue you're all touching on is that women get many intros of varying quality when they should get a few high-quality ones instead. While there's some intro quality filters in place (e.g. the uniqueness requirement, offensive language filtering, verification-based daily intro limits, etc), they're obviously not enough. To me, the obvious next step to increase intro quality would be to gradually tighten the daily intro limit for unverified users until the ratio stops improving (or men start rage-quitting the app). Once conventional options like that are exhausted, I might try more experimental mechanics. Although I don't want to add a mechanic which requires women to message first because I think that'll result in even fewer good quality conversations being initiated. I also don't see much good in simply blocking intros to big inboxes without regard for intro quality. In fact, I tried something similar last year and it didn't notice any improvement in the ratio.

>Is there some way to disincentivize ghosting/ one word answers?
I don't think it can ever be stopped completely

>>33689346
>offensive language filtering
I don't like the offensive language filter. I keep wanting to tell ladies I wanna shove my fat b-b-b-benis into their gushy wushy puss-ay, but it makes me change "fat" to "thick" and I don't think that gets the point across because I haven't been getting replies to that intro
>>
>>33689341
There should be an algorithm that verifies that a nice single heterosexual shy single femboy with a real verified photo, a bio in his profile and lots of answers to questions didn't get any intros. It's not fair when guys make a normal profile, but girls don't even go to the Search section to find these wonder guys there.

I'd say an Omegle-syle 1 on 1 chat system would be good, but the site doesn't even have the userbase to make such a feature functional. It'd be like Emerald Chat where there's like 20 people in one group chat, with one faggot spamming relentlessly, and then it takes 20+ minutes to find someone in a basic chat who ghosts you instantly anyway.
>>
>>33689341
>Are you most likely to reply to an intro based on its contents, the sender's profile, or both?
Both, but profile matters more

>What's the most important factor when deciding to reply to an intro?
Shared interests maybe? So we have something to talk about

>Does the sender's ability to hold a conversation matter more than the first message they send?
Yes

>In your experience, are you more likely to have a good conversation with a >90% match?
My best convos were with matches in the 60-70% range but in the same clubs as me
>>
>>33689346
The issue is women don't respond based on the quality of the intro, they respond based on the appearance of the guy who's sending it. You can literally send "ey bbygurl wan sum fuk" and if you got a good jawline they think "oh he's flirty and fun"

The natural desire of women is to actively select for negative personality traits. Narcissism, psychopathy, aggression. I don't know what wires got crossed in their evolution to make them this way but they are genuinely fucked up and continuing to allow them to select their own mates is genuinely harmful for society as a whole.
>>
>>33689616
>I don't know what wires got crossed in their evolution to make them this way
All the women with the loyal and devoted traits that men desire were killed off in conquests of old. Like they were literally called the romance peoples. Their women would fight tooth and nail or simply choose to die when their homes would be invaded and they were threatened with a life of enslavement and rape, or they'd face a bloody death. The result being over time the genetic memory of these women simply vanished as it was bred out of the populace.
>>
>>33689624
I find it hard to truly hate women, because everything wrong with them is the result of generations of bad male influence.

Truly, we live in the worst timeline

As a guy how screwed am I if I don’t feel comfortable with providing pictures/voice verification? I’m not famous, rich, hot or ugly, I’m just average but I do find myself on the news and meeting famous people from time to time and getting recognized could tank my career.

Well, when you put it that way, I can agree with you. It'd definitely be nice. It'd also be nice if I were rich and handsome lol.

Have you ever tried other dating apps? If so, did you find one where women initiate?

>>33689601
>Shared interests maybe? So we have something to talk about
Is the profile's text, or the list of clubs better for figuring out if you have interests in common with someone?

>>33690205
A month or two ago I tried crunching the numbers to figure out if there was any association between verification status and reply rate. Counter-intuitively, I couldn't find one. Although a lot of people in these threads report that they only started getting replies after getting photo-verified. I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe getting verified doesn't help the *average* anon because some photo-verified people are attractive and some just have bad haircuts. So it helps the attractive ones and harms the others, and the aggregate effect is zero.

>getting recognized could tank my career
You might consider adjusting your privacy filters to only allow people you've messaged to see your profile

Come on man, you know damn well that what women say they do/want and what they actually do and respond to are two vastly different things that often have zero correlation.

You will get absolutely no helpful information from asking them anything and your time would be better spent trying to scrape or parse the data you collect somehow, good use case for AI actually.

I've received multiple intros.
A lot of you guys are much too invested in the idea that you'll find someone here. Women don't like neediness. Become emotionally detached, don't expect anything more than a few fleeting chats, because that's how they're using it. If they were serious about using this to find a boyfriend, every woman who signs up would be off the site within a month.

There is one universal when dealing with any women. They can smell desperation from a million miles away, and it is the absolute worst thing ever to them.
The moment you act desperate with a woman is the moment you've totally fucked up any chance you may have had.
>>
>>33692856
Which is annoying, because absolutely zero lack of desperation often means you aren't invested in them at any point.

Stay at the top of her inbox. Every day at the very least. Jeetmax it. Make it so her cowardice becomes more painful than any confrontation. She will eventually either respond or just block you and then you will at least have closure which is better than getting ghosted, and maybe she will learn a valuable lesson about leading people on and wasting people's time and toying with lonesome people's emotions.

I'm thinking of promoting verified profiles in some searches. Objections? Duolicious has always promoted profiles which have images. In other words, all profiles with images have always come before all profiles without images in search results. And each of those two groups of profiles is ordered such that the highest matches come first. So the proposal is to effectively change that initial grouping from "images", to "verified images" in some circumstances.

Verified people will be promoted in searches that meet all these criteria:

>1. The searcher is verified
>2. The searcher's highest match (in that particular search) is verified
>3. The search results contain at least ~250 verified profiles

The reason for promoting verified profiles is to check if it improves the gender ratio. Since Duolicious started, one of women's most common requests was that men include pictures of themselves on their profile.

The reason for having criteria instead of promoting verified profiles in every case is to:

>1. Prevent verified users getting flooded with messages, particularly from unverified users
>2. Allow searchers to continue seeing a reasonable number of high matches if there's not many verified users who meet their search preferences

Thoughts?

Good idea if you want to move towards a more serious place for dating, and not towards a cesspool for memes and pranks. For some balance, you can promote such profiles only to verified users as well. Keep on mind, we also have some schizo mental folks here who want to talk only with other anime avatars and are afraid of 'normies with real photos'.

Any kind of text based messaging is asynchronous and recipients have the right to get back to you on their time not yours.

Are you trying to meet somebody or not? If you are, you should take every man seriously, as if he could be the one you marry someday, and be respectful.

>delete unverified profiles after some time
>>
>>33695305
>you should take every man seriously, as if he could be the one you marry someday, and be respectful
what the fuck are you smoking dude? maybe try realizing that you should respect women in return? you realize the world doesn't revolve around you, right? maybe she's busy. maybe she didn't see your message. maybe she just doesn't fucking feel like replying to you right now, but she wants to give her best efforts in messaging, so she's waiting until she feels up to it
messaging someone on a dating app does not entitle you to unlimited access to their person according to your timetable

I've promoted verified profiles as of half an hour ago. For now, I promoted verified profiles even if they only have their basics verified. Although this will still make profiles with verified pictures more likely to appear first.

The promotion algorithm will leave many people's search results unaffected. People most likely to see verified profiles be promoted are:

>women
>normies (as determined by their Q&A answers)
>people in densely populated areas
>people with very broad search filters

Please let me know if any of you see anything you don't like about search results

When you upload your verification photo it checks against what's already there. If you have no photos of yourself public, it doesn't check for that. But if your photo matches your age, sex, ethnicity, it'll clear those.
>>
>>33697685

Mai if you can see this i hope you know that the reason guys keep blocking you is because youre a fucking boring retard with no personality. you are the common denominator in every conversation that leads to you being blocked or ghosted. you bitch about no guy wanting to talk to you but every time youre asked a remotely personal question like your favorite food or band or whatever you put on this autistic secretive persona.

There's no ELO algorithm. But IIRC, relationships are typically more long-lasting when both partners are about equally attractive. A cynic might argue that Tinder removed their ELO system to increase the odds of users becoming single and subsequently returning to Tinder

>Any plans to address the 30% that are just dicking around?
I imagine things like verification status and # of Q&A answered give a good indication of how serious someone is on Duolicious

Hinge's strategy is to have a very long sign-up process that causes many would-be users to drop out. Hinge can do that because they're the authority on long-term dating

You really only need like one decent girl to reach out. It’s annoying how many guys on here blow it, I’m shadow banned though so at least I have an excuse. Kinda fun to browse around and just look at all the different profiles.

>Are you most likely to reply to an intro based on its contents, the sender's profile, or both?

>What's the most important factor when deciding to reply to an intro?

For myself it was both. I went through look at the matches and went down by compatibility and number of answers to their questions. I thought the avoidant attachment style and the anxious attachment style was important enough to gander at if they had high numbers of questions answered. But if they had a low number I would look at their profiles if they were also looking for marriage or long term dating and some specific questions in the questionnaire that pops up first. If too many of those questions I looked up were not the same as mine I ignored them outright. Then finally distance. If they were more than an 8 hour drive away I’m likely not going to see them anyway.

>Does the sender's ability to hold a conversation matter more than the first message they send?
Yes. If the conversation is engaging enough then going to discord after 5 messages proven to be most successful.

>In your experience, are you more likely to have a good conversation with a >90% match?

Comparing to the people who eventually received my contact information and I’m still in contact with them after a month. They were all individuals that scored 80+ who are 27-36 years old. I am set up to physically date someone next week in person so we shall see if that is successful because he’s physically is closest to me. There are 2 others that I like but require a lot more planning to see. If they paid for my fare to see them I would have taken time off to see them but if it’s on my dime it’s planned vacation routes with super cheap fares near them so they will have to meet me near my trip destination.

It's the reproductively unretarded thing to do. Baby batter is free, what's difficult for women is getting resources for her and her children, and protection from predators or their most promising kids being killed by others.
Hence the ones that were the most reproductively successful ended up those that selected for 1) protector+provider 2) provider, with some protector kids on the side 3) protector kids if they could somehow get enough resources to survive
If you've been to mixed regions, you know the poorer and less civilized the situation is, the more men usually have to put on machismo and look violent so someone doesn't try to take theirs. Hence the bad boys that look like they'll crack your skull (and that have a gang so you can't get the jump on them) end up being more attractive on a primal level, if one can't secure a man who's both a good protector and a good provider.
>inb4 blackpill r9k its joever
That's the general mechanism, but we're lucky that women have a much wider variety of things that can attract them - basically anything that makes you valuable to the tribe on one hand (good fighter, artist, scientist, good at sports), as well as even more things based on their feeelings (bad boy ex fucked her up too much and now she wants someone loyal even if less chad, you use the same perfume and remind her of her dad or HS teacher crush), so don't lose hope, and don't LDAR

I would be taking on all of the costs to visit them and due to their professions and skepticism they do not want go to the middle of bumfuck no where. They’ve proposed to visiting half way which would still be in the middle of nowhere and more expenses on my behalf due to the remote area of the Midwest I am. If I was next to a major traveling hub there wouldn’t be much issue. If they paid for one way of the travel great would speed meeting each other. But I’m not gonna beg them for what should be offered. There is one thing to talk online and another to be in person. Which distance doesn’t change.

>Are you most likely to reply to an intro based on its contents, the sender's profile, or both?
I sometimes give a quick look at the profile, but usually I go straight to the first message. I’d say the first message itself is the most important for me.
>What's the most important factor when deciding to reply to an intro?
I’m not sure what’s the most important, but I usually respond to funny intro’s. But the best starters that actual conversations come from people who at least looked at my bio and pick a topic from that to talk about. Just don’t ask the same questions every other dude asks, because it basically means I have to give the same answer for the 1000th time and that’s really off putting. On another note, I really hate the “do you want to be my friend?” And the “what do you want to talk about.” openers. Brother in Christ I don’t know you, just start talking instead of edging yourself for a conversation.
>Does the sender's ability to hold a conversation matter more than the first message they send?
Definitely, but I guess the first message had to be fun/interesting enough to get the convo started tho.
>In your experience, are you more likely to have a good conversation with a >90% match?
I’d say I never really noticed a difference in quality of conversations between the 70 and 90 range. I do hate seeing 50% the most tho, it just means you’re either not going to be serious or you’re probably a troll account.

Side note: I don’t understand all the countermeasures against women ghosting/not giving replies. The only effective counter measure against it would be having decent conversation skills.

You're assuming those violent and aggressive men are better protectors and providers. They're more likely to get themselves killed through poor decision making, and kill their offspring/mate in a fit of rage. They "succeeded" reproductively through mass rape. It doesn't matter of they kill half their children and females when they forcefuck a dozen women and leave her to raise the child.

It’s the very basics of a human interaction? Just talk about a topic you think the other person is likely passionate about to have a bigger chance of a succesful interaction.
>didn't write a single intro herself
Whenever I open the app, I have to spend a great amount of time responding to openers and existing conversations. I’m not the one begging for replies.
>The only effective for you would be having decent conversation skills.
I think reading comprehension skills would also do wonders for you.

You have to converse back. It's like playing catch. When you catch the ball, you have to toss it back. When a guy asks
>What did you do today?
an acceptable answer is NOT
>Nothing, hbu?
because you didn't contribute anything to the conversation. Whereas something like
>Nothing, I was tired from doing XYZ all week
gives something to grab onto.
>>33705983
>Whenever I open the app, I have to spend a great amount of time responding to openers and existing conversations.
You don't. There is ZERO CHANCE that you are having QUALITY conversations with that many guys at once. Guaranteed you are having endless chitchat that leads nowhere.

Pick one that seems most promising, and give him your attention until you can decide to either quit the app and pursue a relationship with him, or block him and keep looking. All the other intros can wait. A guy would rather hear back from you a week after he sends his intro, and then have an engaging conversation, rather than an instant reply of
>haha
>ye
>nah
Of course, this is all assuming that you actually want to find a relationship, not just farm attention.
>>
>>33706310
> You have to converse back. It's like playing catch. When you catch the ball, you have to toss it back. When a guy asks
You’re totally missing the point here. “What have you done today” is the most boring question in existence. Just start yapping about one of your interests, it has a bigger chance of a positive response. Questions that were put effort into get effort responses. Standard questions get standard answers, it’s not that deep.
>You don't. There is ZERO CHANCE that you are having QUALITY conversations with that many guys at once.
I have met up with 5 people from duo so far. Two weren’t even from the same continent. Yes, there are men on duo that aren’t totally socially inept.

I love the men shitting on the women posting in these threads and at the same time trying to get these same women on /soc/ and Duo. If y'all yap like y'all do in these threads, no wonder women aren't responding to y'all.

They have 100s of messages, be interesting. If you can't that sucks ass. It's also online dating, so looks play a part. I checked my women's friend's duo and it's just a cesspool. Bad pictures, sloppy folks. Racists.

As a dude, I've gotten two dates off duo, and I'm not even conventionally attractive or attractive in general. I just know how to fucking yap and chat.

I'm 5'6, black. I literally have the worst chance on duo than 99% of the men that post and I still get adds on discord and replies on duo.

>yap and chat
I might as well ask, any advice on how to do this? I try to talk about something on the profile or a bit about myself, and it just doesn't work. Either I get no reply for weeks or a a single dry sentence. A few times the entire convo has been me typing a few lines and the reply being a few words. At first I thought It was a bad idea to talk about myself and ask questions but I see many women I talk to don't do this.
>>
>>33707732
1. Experiences. Literally just chat. If I match with someone on tinder, or someone replies to my intro (which is random depending on what I send): I either follow up on the intro, ask about something in their profile, or just chat. Don't need a huge paragraph, but grasp their interest. Someone was interested in Madoka Magic. I watched like one episode in the past, and could care less, but I sent some random ass meme that caught her attention. She asked if i watched. "hell no, i watched one episode, couldn't stand -insert character-, but I liked a similar anime called "----". know anything similar to madoka that's not madoka?" open ended questions. if they don't reply.. number 2

2. Learn to move on. If some chick you weren't interested in was trying to hit you up on discord every 2-3 days, you'd be annoyed. especially if you were talking to someone else/doing something else. Or hell, if a friend you simply didn't want to talk to did the same, you'd be annoyed. If someone isn't replying for weeks at a time, move the fuck on. This ain't a soulmate, it's just a girl.

If someone you're talking to or trying to talk to doesn't have anything in her profile you can ask or yap about..why message her? cause she's a girl? move on and find someone you actually wanna talk to.


3. respect yourself. like really, respect yourself. Do you really want to talk to someone who leaves you on read for days/weeks at a time? One double text is fine to see if she responds? she doesn't, number 2 again. In your double text, you better gather some fucking interest again. that madoka girl? i'd watch episode two or some shit, or the anime she recommended if it got to that point (it didn't, she was weird) and then i'd make a comment about that. Don't make it seem like youv'e been waiting for her response for weeks.

and honestly just chat like your'e chatting with your homies. :/

I love how the incels on this board are always crying about not being successful on duo. We’re one of the few people who are actually giving advice and all the self loathing incels can’t handle the possibility that they might have to improve certain qualities of themselves. It’s like they’re really allergic to self reflection and self accountability. They rather blame external factors so they have an excuse to never change. I can write the most clear, neutral and concise advice in the world and they will still get all emotional and misinterpret everything. I’m honestly done checking out these duo threads and replying to these surveys, since it’s just incels crying and circlejerking. Watch them cry even about this.
>>
>>33707724
So if you verified once then ad the following picture will not be verified so you have to do it all over again. As for changing order no drag and drop but you will have to delete one image then reload that slot. At least that’s how it worked before. Idk if there were some quality of life changes on that yet.

Oh I think if you have anime profile pics it’s ok and a couple of memes but the most successful guys that showed up on my feeds also posted some selfies that look well framed and lit. Don’t under estimate sunlight guys and if you can’t selfie ask someone to take your pic at the park or something.

>>
>>33708175

Most incels think going to the gym will fix all their probllems. It wont. If you're a boring or shitty person, lifting something heavy wont change that.
Learn some fucking skills, get a hobby that isn't video games, go and do shit.

There is more to self improvement than lifting heavy weights, and doing shit like this will actually give you something to talk about with girls as well.
>>
>>33708175
It’s general crap because that’s all uncles can think in simple terms about what’s holding them back. Oh I’m out of shape shallow women don’t want me. If you don’t like your body then go to the gym. But it’s not just that guys. There is a certain mindset that healthy well adjusted men have that’s hard to learn but that mindset leads to so many positive choices and outcomes that accumulate to being a desirable man.
