OLD reply rates only 2-5 percent according to PUAs?

[biggoal]

Does anyone believe this? I read on these forums as well as articles and PUAs state that the typical reply rate to messages for guys solid, strong profiles is only about 5 percent. I just have a hard time believing it's only 2-5 percent unless you're a total lard ball. I use match mainly and my reply rate is better than 5 percent and I wouldn't consider my profile professionally done and I only message HB7 at the min and there are very few HB7 to HB10 on OLD within 50 miles of my area and the competition is intense here.

I had good luck on Match and Zoosk but on free sites like OKC or POF I'd say 2-5% sounds about right.

POF and OKC are mostly land whale white trash. A free site is going to attract tons of people using it and tons of fake profiles and bottom of the barrel people who don't have a credit card even. Around here Match has the best looking ones and even within a 60 mile radius there isn't very many decent women on match around here, my county maybe has 2 on a regular basis so do the math with that.

I'm shocked my reply rate on match is about 15 percent of marked read messages due to the fact within my search radius of 50 miles there isn't very many quality women on there to begin with. Women I've gone on dates with from OLD told me they get bombarded on there from guys and pervs of all ages. One used a guy friend's account just to see the ratio of women and was amazed of the lack of quality women on OLD and said it's like 15 guys to 1.

Then it means the PUAs, who wrote these articles, are just low-mid tier normies, they aren't Chadlites or Chads. It just confirms that the photo on the profile has more weight then the content of the profile.

Your main profile pic matters so when they're reading you message they will click in your profile after reading it. There is no reason why you can't have a decent main profile pic now with all these new smartphones like the Note 10 Plus and such that have beauty mode and erase your fine lines and wrinkles or acne and such.

Notice how women their main profile pic looks like they're 10 years younger then you see the rest of their photos in their album and they look a lot rougher.

I see a lot of people on here complaining about women looking a lot older than their photos. I really haven't ran into this problem on OLD. In fact the dates I been on they looked younger in person actually despite being around 40 years old.

Content does matter IMO, especially depending on age group. Maybe not 23 year olds, but these older women I go after are more focused on career when reading their profiles and what they're looking for. I notice they prod me asking what type of business I own and trying to figure out how much I make because I talk about owning a business on my profile making myself to sound like a businessman. Yea, I know you guys keep telling me these older women are trying to Betabuxx, especially these single moms I talk to.

I am out of town to where I was born n raised in the Deep South and am getting A LOT of OLD action this week. Many likes, messages, opened by more than back out west. This makes me think my area is more competitive looks-wise. I’m pulling out here, much younger.

Where at in the deep south? Around here, on OLD a lot of the women especially late 30s and up are open to men a few years younger than them. There really isn't a lot of younger women on OLD around here under mid 30s unless they're the fat, ugly 200lb landwhales. Most of the hb7 and up women within 60 miles of here are over the age of 36. Actually around 40.

What area are you in that's a mecca for young women because around here it's mostly divorced milfs on OLD. Even the premium ones like Match here it's mostly MILFS around 40 that are the hottest looking ones.

Memphis area of northern MS and southern TN? Also, can you tell me about Ole Miss? Is it true you go to Oxford there are hot chicks everywhere there? I keep hearing about Ole Miss and the amazing looking girls there.

Yep, on bumble I just had FOUR “booms” in a row. That never happens where I live. I’ll admit that my profile pic looks best on the bumble app.

Do you think profile pics should vary depending on App? I mean like Match for example I wouldn't use the same type of profile pic as one would use on a ghetto app like Tinder or POF.

It's all about location. I get jack squat on Bumble around here. Once in awhile I'll get a cute flight attendant like me since the airport is a mile down the road but before I can get to them they're already long gone. Granted Bumble many days in a row no new women will show up within 25 miles of me. yea that's how bad Bumble app is in this area. Waste of money to buy bumble boost when there are no women around here on it. When I was in Tampa for a couple days I had a a few hits despite my hometown not being tampa but 1.5 hours south.

I would expect in a big city like Memphis to have more luck. I can go on Match and within 10 miles of my zipcode in St. Louis County, my hometown there are countless legit HB8-10 chicks on there and the profiles look real and they're in better shape, younger, not damaged or single moms and more professional white collar looking. Then down here within a 60 mile radius the opposite. Far fewer hot chicks and even the hot ones down here would be like HB6 up there and I wouldn't even message them if I saw them on the app up in St. Louis. The difference is that bad between the two states. Down here they're damaged, look worn out and such. Also down here they have some ridiculous qualifiers on their profiles too that I don't see up in St. Louis. landwhales think they're hot sh*t on OLD down here. Up there less landwhales.

WTF. Overweight HB6. Hell no. If you're getting all these hits as claimed why the hell you going for a chubby girl?

So you rather stick to your right hand than have sex with a chubby lady? WTF is wrong with you?

Because they're fat. Around here most far girls are smelly, have bad teeth and full of tats. Getting them to lose weight and they will still have nasty teeth, and the tats.

But if he's getting all these hits as claimed why is he going for the fat one? Unless the other ones are nasty compared to it.

So would you rather message 100 women on OLD and only aim for HB8 and above and get 6 replies or message 100 women and get 40 replies but overweight or full blown landwhales HB4 to 6?

I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity.

Why not just get a better looking hooker off Tinder if you just want sex? There are some decent ones in my area on there I could hook up with but decline when they send the link to their pics because I don't want a hooker!

Never said to go for a hippo with bad teeth and tats. Stay out of the trailer park. A few extra pounds never hurt anyone. I am sure it would be better than pornhub dude.

A few extra lbs on OLD is usually about 35lbs. When they list a few extra lbs they're more like 35lbs overweight, not 15.

Dude. You have at least three problems that is holding you back with the ladies.

1) 36 or 37 living with mom. No good.
2) Sky high expectations with little to bring to the table.
3) Unrealistic self value over other people.
4) Location (you say).
5) You are your own worst enemy.

How do you know that these ladies are HB 6 - 10? Have you fvcked any of them yet? No, just talk. Stop talking and get to work on improving your situation. You seem like a good dude, but very dense. You need to open your eyes here.

Will have to see just how fat in person, if I’m embarrassed when we sit together it’s a no-go cut it short be on my way. Her writing patterns trigger “fat” in my mind but how fat I don’t know. The others have to message me first still haven’t so, but this one is on my fishing line hook line and sinker so might as well venture so I gain. She lives in an apartment which just got flooded by the tenant next to her.
