A lot of guys think having a witty or clever opener is gonna get you laid on Tinder. No it absolutely will not, I'll tell you what will happen though, she'll just sleep with the hot, direct guy instead of you.

You'll literally be a free dinner for her, and the only reason you "qualify" to buy her dinner is because you're witty and she's assuming you won't be awkward and can hold a conversation.

So you can sit there entertaining her like an ape while she eats on your dime.
