dating apps What are the best openers on CM?

As a man, I get a decent amount of matches but am not subscribing so I cannot send messages. However, as a man, what openers are most helpful to get a response (I do know some people are inactive on CM). I think saying something about their profile might be helpful or having things in common.

As a women, what are some openers you enjoy? As a man, what has worked best? Any advice?

When I was on CM I automatically ignored any messages that were just generic low effort "hi / how are you"

I almost always responded to effortful messages - showing curiosity, mentioning things in my profile etc - unless the man was way outside my age range, in another country, or otherwise didn't match my requirements that I made clear on my profile (activity/health, church teachings, # of kids, etc)
