The low-stakes opener,
that lands like a real text,
not a line.

Your profile made me smile. That's the whole opener. Hi.

Quick hi — you seem cool. Reply if you want.

I read your bio twice. The second time was on purpose. Hi.

You have an adventurous spirit, I can tell from your photos.

What's the best thing you've eaten this week? I'm taking notes.

Random — would you rather have unlimited coffee or unlimited beer? Asking for science.

If your last beer was the only one you could drink today, would you be happy or sad?

Important question: what's the one beer you'd recommend to a total novice?

Okay, settle a debate: is a stout acceptable to drink in the summer?

If you had to pick one: perfectly smoked brisket or perfect craft beer?

That beer in your photo looks good. Was it an IPA or something else?

Quick poll: what's the most overrated type of craft beer? Go.

Serious question: what's your go-to food to pair with a good beer?

If you could only visit breweries in one country for life, which would it be?

What's the best local brewery I absolutely have to try?

Let’s be real, is the hazy IPA trend over yet or still going strong?

That BBQ in your picture looks incredible. Did you make it yourself?

Hypothetical: you have one hour to grill something. What are you making?

I see a beer garden. What's the best snack to have with a cold one?

What's a food you think is surprisingly good when smoked?

How do you feel about sour beers? Genius invention or a crime against brewing?

Tell me about the best BBQ you’ve ever had. I need details.

Is a flight of beer a great way to sample, or just a commitment issue?

What’s the weirdest ingredient you’ve ever seen in a craft beer?

Do you have a controversial opinion about beer or BBQ? I’m here for it.

I noticed your dog and now I have questions. So: questions incoming.

Your prompt answers are above average for this app. Solid effort. Hi.

Your bio reads like you actually thought about it. Underrated quality.

That mountain summit photo is epic. Did you remember to bring snacks?

I see you’re a hiker. Are you the 'enjoy the view' type or the 'race to the top' type?

So you like the outdoors. Does that mean you can also deal with a spider?

Your backpacking photos are impressive. How's your back feeling?

That view from your tent is incredible. Was it as cold as it looks?

I'm seeing a lot of nature in your profile. Are you secretly a park ranger?

That trail looks intense. Did your legs forgive you for that hike?

You seem to climb a lot of mountains. Trying to get away from it all?

The dog in your hiking photo is the real star. Did he carry his own water?

Okay, your camping setup looks way too professional. Is that a two-story tent?

I'm impressed by all the hiking. Meanwhile, I consider walking to the fridge a trek.

That forest looks beautiful. Did you find Bigfoot out there?

You in front of that waterfall… are you sure you’re not in a cologne ad?

Your bio says you love adventure. Does that include trying a new restaurant?

You and that kayak look like you've seen some things. Any good stories?

You seem to be outdoors in every photo. Do you own a couch?

All these scenic views... are you just trying to make the rest of us jealous?

Your travel photos are top-tier. Are you accepting applications for a hiking buddy?

I have a tiny crush on your bio. The photos aren't helping. Just so you know.

You look like you'd be a great date and I’m willing to find out.

You have a look that says you're both a gentleman and a bit of a rebel.

You seem like the perfect combination of smart and fun.

You look like you'd be amazing at planning a surprise date.

You look like you could make even a trip to the grocery store fun.

You look like you'd be fun to bring to a wedding. Just saying.

I usually don't message first. Your profile made me reconsider that policy.

I rewrote this opener twice. The first one was worse. Hi.

I'm aware sending the first message can be awkward. Sending it anyway. Hi.

I spent way too long trying to think of a cool first message. This is what I came up with.

We matched, and now the ball is in my court. Consider it served. Hello.

Congrats, you're the first profile today that made me stop and actually think.

I was told to be more direct on this app. So, directly: I like your profile.

The hardest part of this app is the first message. So, I’ve done my part.

I scrolled past your profile, then immediately scrolled back up. Had to say hi.

I’m officially retiring from swiping for the day because your profile won.
