Think of Uber in early days or.
Hear your frustration. But you have to think of this as catching a taxi in Manhattan or uber in early days before they fixed some JD these problems. You cannot keep chasing the ones who don't respond. They have their reason and you have yours (why not respond to someone from Philippines or Venezuela.
Keep sending messages, keep being you and you will hit the right person. If you run after the taxi who has decided to slow down to check you out but didn't stop, you will get tired and more frustrated. Wait for the next taxi to come by and you decide whether you want to hail it, sit in it and how long you ride before you get off.
BTW. Kudos to you for doing custom messages. That's investment and tells me you are doing the right thing.
All the best.
[QUOTE=Jge096;5487507]Kind of at a loss when reaching out to girls. I'm new to the area but the game is similar where I'm from. I'll read someone's profile and tailor a personalized message rather than copy and paste, and I'll get a profile view but no response. Then I'll send someone a "hey want to get a drink or coffee" and were setting up dates to meet in less than 10 messages. I don't get it LOL. I'm not obese and I don't have face pics so kind of confused what metrics they use on who to respond to.[/QUOTE]
