Online dating is so stacked against men that you just try to play the online dating game. So you just try to do your best to get women to talk to you regardless of if it is enjoyable for you or not.

And then when finally someone is messaging you, it is hard to be picky. Maybe he just got second thoughts and you were never really his type.

This is probably why he started talking about sex. Men have to lower their standards and then when you look at your matches you can get, it quickly dawns on you that none of them are anywhere near the woman you can imagine yourself spend your life with. So many men will then think 'well if I can get an ego boost from her from low effort sex, maybe I shouldn't unmatch her'. So they just send something shallow, hoping you will unmatch or boost their ego.


Copying cheesy pickup lines is a strategy forced by the game. If you are just yourself, you are boring and the woman will stop talking with you and instead talk with the 10 other guys she has lined up that are desperate enough to try anything to stand out.
