girl briefly i dated who wasn't ready for a relationship and is now an online friend because she had to leave town: *went on dating sites, got 300 likes, but hardly anyone replied to chat*

me: *went on dating sites, hardly got any likes*

end result: kind of the same, really, except she got more false positives.

your average guy swipes right first and takes a closer look later. machine gun strategy. throw things at the wall and see what sticks.
