We want to save our female members from overcrowded inboxes. This means that instead of being constantly on the defensive and answering countless icebreakers, they also have time to actively play Match and give out likes. Furthermore, by limiting them, icebreakers gain a greater significance. Ideally, they are personal and individual messages that express a sincere interest and therefore have a higher chance of success.
So avoid just a short "Hi, how are you" and instead draw attention to yourself with a creative and personalized message to set yourself apart from the rest of the competition.
