Dating App Hinge Releases Most Successful Opening Lines

Hinge is the brilliant new dating app that people think is less creepy than Tinder because it matches you with people based on friendships. Of course, a “third degree friend,” as the app likes to call it, is an interesting term for a complete stranger. “Oh, you’re a Facebook friend of a Facebook friend of my Facebook friend? It’s like we’ve been together for years!” It’s bullshit, but hey, people are buying the gimmick.

The app recently compiled a bunch of data to find the ideal opening line. Hinge copywriters fired out over a hundred original one-liners to 22 percent of their users, told them to slide into their match’s DMs using the given pick-up material, and then measured the response rates.

Here are the results from Hinge.co:

They didn’t show any cities in the southeast because “Buttstuff?” was the top opener.

      Comm I wanted to let you know that the other night went well and we didn’t even use lube. I swear I just used spit and it was fine. She said it was the worst experience of her life. I know you’re gonna ask so I’ll tell you, no, she didn’t lemme finish in her butt.

        There was a thread a couple of days ago where he started out with something along the lines of “this has nothing to do with this article, but I wanted to announce that my gf finally agreed to anal.” I forget if he asked for advice, or if it was unsolicited, but CommCollege69 (and a couple others) suggested a certain type of lube, and so on. I guess this was the follow up. Pretty random spot for it, but whatever.

    “If this gets on TFM will you…” is still the best opening line to get anything on tinder

    I don’t know about you, but “Buttstuff. It’s fun for all ages.” definitely sounds like more of a Dorn quote than a Buscemi quote..
