I'm looking for advice on how I should be using Snapchat.

So Snapchat has streaks(the amount of days you have been messaging for in a row), and twice a day I send a "streaks" picture to everyone I have a streak with. Sometimes I use this to show if I'm doing something out of the ordinary, and if not, it's just a black screen.

Now when you send streaks, you get those people who reply, now when my friends reply with a picture of their toe or whatever, I'll respond to that. However, what I am unsure about is women, when they respond, i either get a posed face.

Now naturally I assume that I should not respond to these pictures. However, I have found that if I just leave there snap unopened for x amount of hours, they begin to ask themselves why you haven't opened it. Then when you do reply, women will often make a comment on something I am doing which leads to a flirty conversation, rather then starting an actual conversation.

Testing arround i found the latter to benefit me more. What are your thoughts?
