Rather than simply writing "hey" or "hi", it was found that men want ladies to make an attempt to spice up the conversation, with one man saying he wishes women would engage in political debate while another called for more stimulating conversation.
One man said he wishes women would be more transparent with what they're looking for from the outset.
Many men also said they wish women would refrain from "ghosting" them -an act where someone disappears by ceasing all contact without warning or explaination.
"At least be honest and say you're not feeling it," said one.
A recent study found that men are 98 per cent more likely to reply to more forward messages such as "What are you up to?" while females are 40 per cent more likely to reply to messages about food such as chocolate.
The study revealed men also have shorter attention spans: If they don't receive a message within six hours, a quarter of them will drop out of sight, compared with only five per cent of women.
People between the ages of 24 and 28 were most inspired by "lifestyle" openers such as "Better adventure: Rock climbing or scuba diving" or "Sunday priorities: Exercise, sleep or aggressive mimosas?"
The over-35 crowd liked lines like "Katy Perry or Taylor Swift" or "Bears, beets or Battlestar Galactica?"
