I disagree with the hey. It depends on the dating app.
If the app confirms that you’re both interested then hey is a bad opening. Okcupid, when I was originally using it, I would read through the profile and tailor a question to them. I found it pointless if they weren’t interested in me. So saying hey acted as a filter to find who would be interested in me.
I completely understand and I kind of agree that it’s low effort. However, my experience was that my “high effort messages” received maybe a 1/10th of the responses that got with hey. And then if factor in how many less people I was messaging because I was tailoring it then the amount of interested responses was significantly less.
Again, if it’s an app like tinder where you both have to show interest then I wouldn’t start with hey. Otherwise I view it as just showing interest and then if they respond then I can follow it up with something from their profile.
But I’ve been out of that scene for a decade so I have to imagine with enshitification that online dating is now even worse.
Yes but more importantly reward. If you spend time dig into a game system, you will be rewarded by the system. Whereas life, you can do everything right and still lose.
You probably don’t have much belly hair which is the whole point of this post. Every shower I clean my belly button and still get it if I’m active and sweaty.

What’s that stuff in your bellybutton? Science has the answer. (www.washingtonpost.com)
Q: I’ve noticed stuff inside my bellybutton from time to time. What is it, and how often should I be cleaning it out?...
