PUAmoreThe Both Answer Reply (Bumble)
Online Opener · First messages for Tinder, Hinge and Bumble.
Beach during the day, mountains at night, and I’ll argue with anyone who says you have to choose. What would you pick?
Her Opening Move: Beach or mountains? Works for any either/or question.
Why it works
Refusing the binary choice is funny and shows personality, while the question at the end returns the turn to her. It also gives her a clear, easy thing to disagree with.
Follow-up
- Fair, but I’d take the mountains for a long weekend. What’s your ideal trip?
- If she picks one: A bold choice. Do you stick to that on holiday, or do you cheat?
