Comment by curt

After I figured out OkCupid I had about a 30%-40% message to date success rate. I've shown friends and while they haven't had quite my success they've drastically increased the number of responses they receive. The key is to keep it simple, 3-4 sentences. First is a funny line about something in her profile to grab her attention, next comment on something shared, finally a funny open ended question. One or two messages later ask her out for drinks.

Don't just say "hi" or write a book, that just doesn't work.

Now I've been off the market for a couple years so things might have changed but more than likely they haven't.
