Quick
diagnosis
Interests are the easiest openers on your profile, and most men waste them on the generic three. Music and foodie hook nobody, while five specific, varied picks give her obvious things to message about.
- The generic three, music, movies, and foodie, are on half the app and hook nobody.
- Ticking every interest reads as selecting nothing, so none of them stand out.
- All picks in one lane, like all gym, read as one note.
