How many times have you caught yourself staring blankly at a cute dating profile, not having the slightest clue how to craft a first message to catch their attention?

I for one, just put up my hand – Guilty as charged.

Luckily for me and you; Plenty of Fish recently analyzed hundreds of thousands of conversations to pull a list of the top words singles use in their first messages that actually lead to a conversation.

The Plenty of Fish findings reveal that compliments go a long way not only IRL but online too!

Men looking to strike up a conversation with the next lady you swipe right on, send a first message that contains a sincere compliment. Plenty of Fish found a full 20 % of guys who use the word “beautiful” got into conversations with ladies online. Or try your hand at using the words, “gorgeous” and “pretty”, which were also among the top 5 words that lead to conversations.
