Opening lines that work in Eugene

Specific beats generic. These are the shapes that get answered in Eugene:

“Weekend in Eugene: out or in?”
“Coffee or drinks — and where in Eugene?”
“Give me one Eugene recommendation I would never find myself.”

Getting more replies in Eugene

Blurry photos and an empty bio will sink you in Eugene regardless of the app. The first message in Eugene works best when it is under two lines and asks something.

Do not message everyone at once — the members who do this get more replies.
Turn notifications on for the first week — it matters more in smaller places.
Reply within a day rather than saving it for the weekend — results usually shift within a week.
Skip the copy-paste opener and reference something specific — a small change with an outsized effect.
