PUAmoreThe Five Minutes Later Opener (Hinge)
Online Opener · First messages for Tinder, Hinge and Bumble.
The photo of you [where she is / what she does] looks like the start of a good story. What happened five minutes after it was taken?
Fill in the place or activity. It works for any photo with some action in it, not for plain portraits.
Why it works
It turns a still photo into a story and asks her to continue it, which is more fun than saying she looks good. It is also hard to answer with one word.
