, I preferred approaches that indicated the dude at least read my profile.
Meh. That's all I've ever done. Also, didn't work. I don't think the average women gives an eff about personalized anything.
If you read Dataclysm, they found boilerplate and copy pasta just as effective as completely personalized messages. There's a great scatterplot in there with keystrokes vs. message length on the X axis and replies on the Y. In general, they're 90% as effective as personalized messages... factor in the time saved and you see why their so popular.

Apparently asking if you like avocado was effective as well. You decide if that is who/what you want.
I don’t want to have multiple conversations about my daily activities.
I'm an attractive guy (not a boast)--and acknowledging that looks are subjective--but I have such very little luck with matches in Honolulu. I think this is largely due to the fact that most of the profiles--who are Asian and white women who run in non diverse circles--aren't into black males. And I'm not the first black guy I know on island to make this observation, and my white male friends have no such trouble. Every other location where I use the app, I have ZERO issue finding matches. And, again, my white male friends have no problem, so it's not for lack of trying or inactivity in what is a pretty large city.

Makes perfect sense. You can totally be the wrong type for the locale.
Again, if that was the problem, I doubt I'd have success elsewhere. And it's not just me as I mentioned, but this is a common complaint from my black male friends in Honolulu.

Tinder's Elo horse$h1t punishes people who are 'different', not necessarily 'ugly'. If black isn't universally popular, or in my case: beard, then your pushed down to the bottom of the stack... but we all know there are hotties that like (read: prefer) black (or bearded) but we're probably not coming up very often in the stack because it's negativity polarized to the LCD.
Edit: I can't swear. Is this AOL circa 1997!?
