Skip "Hi, how are you?" as an opening line. Instead, send a voice note or comment on something specific from their profile. Ask thoughtful questions that show you actually looked, not generic small talk.

Never open with, "Hi, how are you?" Terrible opener. Because he's like, "Okay, hi, how was your weekend?" "Hi, it was busy. What about you?" Then what are you gonna say? "Oh yeah, it was busy too." It's very flat. There's no banter, there's no spice, there's nothing really to go off of. This is with another person. "Hey, how's it going? I see you're traveling right now too." And then the girl doesn't respond. He calls me, he's like, "Bro, what do I do?" This is what Papa Choi teaches. If you really like her, send her a little voice note and then start commenting on something about her. Show your empathy, show your curiosity. He asks her something about her religion and then she goes like, "Okay, damn, straight to the important questions." The point that I wanna drive home home here is that when you actually get inside the world, it kind of showcases your vibe. Talk about the different things that they already talk about on their profile.
