Reopened matches have turned out to be a waste of time..even if that time is only 5-10 minutes of sending a new message.

Usually I have closed matches due to lack of response in the first place. And every single time, that trend continues after requesting a match get reopened.

Here's what really happens on this after seeing how some female friends handle eH.

A woman joins eH and gets a bunch of matches right away. She gets hammered by a large number of questions. So she picks what she likes of the pool and ignores the rest.

Now she'll go through communications with the ones she likes...often they are very attractive and superficial...some are players. So those go nowhere. Meanwhile most the other matches close due to non-communication.

So no new matches yet and no propects, so she looks over the list of closed and requests a bunch reopen. Some do so she goes through the process again.

The problem is, from the guy's perspective, if you didn't respond the first time, then we may reopen once, but if you fail to respond again then you'll get reclosed even quicker.
