Getting more replies in Utrecht

The Utrecht members who do well are the ones who wrote an actual bio. Ask about something they actually wrote — that is the whole trick in Utrecht.

Read the whole profile before you write anything — it costs nothing and works everywhere.
Turn notifications on for the first week — it makes more difference than the app you pick.
Include one full-length photo — results usually shift within a week.
Ask one question rather than paying a compliment — the effect compounds over a few weeks.
Do not message everyone at once — worth doing before you change anything else.
