The lines (and why they work)
“Step 1: scan her 3 photos and 1 bio sentence. Pick the ONE specific detail that stands out.”
Why it works: Specificity is the single biggest variable.
“Step 2: turn it into a playful hypothesis — not a question. 'I'm going to guess you're either a [X] or [Y] based on that hat'.”

Why it works: Low-friction reply = higher conversion.
