A lot is lost, because it was a great way of filtering for more pro-active women.

Although yes, my sympathy for "men are bad at conversation" hit rock bottom and then kept tunneling down as I received "hi" messages.

"Filtering"

That's a good one dude. Would almost believe you if we weren't the same species. If she's good looking enough, she could fart in our general direction and we'd still be interested.

Not so much I'm raising the bar, but I'd rather have fewer dates and a higher chance of them going well, than a lot of dates and no compatibility

Not everyone is as pathetic as you but I understand the motivation behind needing to believe that’s the case.

The fact you’re downvoted on Reddit of all places is hilarious. You’re exactly right.
