5 will date
3 will actually go on a date, 2 will flake
The 3 dates were either too fat, face not pretty enough or something. ROI very poor.
I'm focussing on night game. Besides, I got banned from Tinder.
Those are actually pretty good rates, given that you actually only had 50 elligible matches as opposed to 500. A 1/5 response rate is not bad, and a 1/3 conversation rate to date is actually pretty good. I've rarely had girls flake though, that might be less of a cultural thing here.

But anyways I'm curious about you guy's text game. The ratio's will always be around a 1/3 response rate and a 1/5 conversation to date rate, but I'm wondering what you guys are actually saying to the girls in text, or how many responses you tend to exchange and over what time period?
Being an OK-looking guy, like a 6.5/7 I get the sense I'm being put into a weird conversational purgatory where girls expect me to have a conversation with them over the course of a week+, and also to never have a single awkward thing said during the entire time. For the last 2 years I've found it increasingly harder to strike the perfect balance in conversation and I feel like I'm acting more and more beta because whenever I make too much of a forward proposal I will get ghosted rather than rewarded for making a bold move.
It's really confusing to me and I'm wondering if guys are in the same pattern. I've literally had over 20+ times, when I got a girl to actually respond to a text and have a conversation, (so that's like 1/4 out of a pool of 80 matches), where it all follows a similar pattern.
1. Tried and tested evocative opener > Get response
2. Bit of boring questions mixed with some tried and tested lines > Get interest
3. Make a quick proposal to meet > Get immediate radio silence or a rebuff
4. Sometimes I'll ask what's up (pointless obviously) and it's like > "I first want to have a FUN conversation with someone blabla / I don't know you yet"
I'm at a loss nowadays what the fuck is supposed to qualify as a fun conversation? And why the radio silence when proposing a meet up while that's what the app is designed for in the first place.
I can fully accept and understand that because of my looks-based value I'm classed in a different category than Chad. But I just don't get what kind of category this is supposed to be and how I should deal with it.
