Fake Men on Hinge

Sounds like sending this kind of rose to a woman who already gets lots of attention is futile for the reasons you list. But it might actually be an effective gesture towards a woman who’s not in the top 50% of the site because it signals that you’re not a player who’s simply messaging all the below-average women, and that your score is probably aligned with hers.

And that only works if you're the only ones sending her roses, which is information that female participant is unlikely to share. They're are probably other suitors sending roses as a signal of wealth to these less attractive women in a bid to compensate for they're own lack of attractiveness.

> not in the top 50% of the site

You will get presented this match for free and message her without a rose.

I suppose you could send a rose voluntarily to someone who you presume does not get roses in an attempt to exploit the fact they dont get roses... which is slightly condescending xD .

Sending gifts to not-very-attractive women is a time-tested mating strategy for the slightly lazy male contingent.

"gifting" women you barely know is a terrible strategy. This is the best way to land yourself a gold digger or some other undesirable. It signals to her that you are beneath her and are trying to buy her affection.

On one first date a woman I had been talking to for a week texted me late at night. I told her to show up at my house and for her to bring a bottle of red wine. The next morning she is telling me a recent dating story. A guy took her out for a fancy meal. He spent $120 on her and then he got pissed after the meal when she wouldn't kiss him.

I have some success and plenty of failure too when it comes to dating. There is so much bad dating advice out there for men. I feel bad for the men that are in the dark and being taken advantage of.

I will venture a risky post to say, the gifting strategy is probably most endearing to women who receive little attention. This is a mostly mutually exclusive set with Gold Diggers.
