The Scarcity Principle

Limited matches = Higher stakes. Here is why quality wins on CMB.

1. Value Signaling

Because you can't message everyone, sending a message signals 'I chose YOU specifically'. Lean into that by being specific.

2. The Effort Curve

Low effort ('hi') implies low interest. High effort (referencing a bio detail) implies high interest and capability.

3. Pacing

CMB moves slower than Tinder. It is okay to write longer sentences and ask deeper questions early on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Yes! It creates urgency. A good opener needs to spark a conversation *now*, not later. Avoid "Hey, how are you" because it wastes time.

It is a bit cliché (like "I am the coffee, you are the bagel"). Use it only if you have a really clever twist, otherwise stick to their profile.

Aim for 2-3 sentences. You want to show you read their profile, but you don't want to write a novel before they respond.

Focus on their photos. Look for background details, location clues, or activities. Use the "Details Detective" openers.

On CMB, it is risky. Better to establish rapport for 2-3 messages first, then move to "We should discuss this over coffee".

Beans are the in-app currency. Referencing them is usually not a great flirtation strategy. Keep it focused on the connection.
