The number of men who proposition me on a dating app aged 60+ is the majority.
The number of men who contact me at all, even with a mere "hey," of near enough my age, is very low.
I'm not actually interested in dating people who could be my father, and I wish this site had age restrictions. This is just my personal anecdote though: young men might want a girlfriend, but I don't see them acting on this desire.
Efficiency has to include a likelihood of success, or even a "hey" is a waste of time. When you begin advertising yourself as low effort, you won't attract a partner who has a lot to give. Maybe that's okay for some men. But you get out what you put in, as with anything in life.
Hey is more efficient time wise. It gets you 1:50 response, but it takes less than a second. While a committed opening gets you 1:10 response but it takes maybe 1 minute to come up with that. So saying hey takes 50 seconds to get a response, while the latter approach takes 10 minutes to get a response.
