If that were true, what's the purpose of having a profile? Why not just post your photo, height, and salary and be done with it?
I would expect that to vary significantly based on the number of users available who fit one's age/sex/preference requirements. But regardless of what the percentage is, it seems to me that people who fall into it have no need of this post.
Well, for those few whose status/looks filter you pass.
Then is your complaint that my profile-writing advice is only applicable when people actually read your profile? Because you're right, and I'm not sorry.
Sure, but it doesn't help for those who want to make sure they're maximizing the status/looks of their readers. And for people not getting messaged/messaged back as much as they'd like, should consider improving their displayed status/looks.
As noted, it's worth adding a section on status; I will when I think of what exactly should go in it. But that'll still only matter when people read the profile. The presentation of looks is discussed in the photo section. Actually improving your real-life status and appearance is indeed relevant to your dating chances but beyond the scope of the post.
I can help you write that section if you'd like.
I'd be interested to see anything more you want to write on the subject.
Yes. I also suggest trying to minimize inferential distance for the folks here, and showing them why we have certain priors.
By all means. Perhaps write a top-level comment to the post about it (so it doesn't get buried at the end of this thread)?
To prove you're an actual person.
