Thanks to @AscendingHero reminding me of my paused Hinge Maherfish from a few months ago, I decided to unpause it today. Within roughly an hour after unpausing it, I received roughly 20 likes.

On Hinge, when you send somebody a like, you can either "like" (or "rose") a picture or one of their written prompts. Typically, when I "like" a profile, I choose a written prompt rather than a picture to seem more authentic.
The Maherfish has three written prompts:
I intentionally pandered the prompts to women with the expectation that many of them would choose to like them rather than the pictures in an attempt to not come across as thirsty.
Checking the past 20 "likes" received (3 of them being roses), all of them were on a picture rather than a written prompt. I would estimate that this is the case for 99% of the total likes I've received. All six of the pictures have been frequently liked, so the women are clearly scrolling through the profile rather than simply liking the first picture without reading any of the prompts.
TL;DR: Roughly 100% of the likes received on my Hinge Maherfish are on the pictures rather than the written prompts that cleverly pander to women.
Observations from Maherfishing on multiple apps
The quality of women on Hinge is like 2-3x higher than on Tinder and Bumble. Also, the match acquisition rate is much higher. This assumes the free versions on all apps. Also, on Seeking Arrangements (sugar site), the sugar babies message first and favorite the profile, even with the lowest...
