The Best Time To Send Messages On Dating Apps Is When Women Are Online
The best time to send messages on dating apps is when you see women are online. You can use the "online now" feature on apps such as Match, OkCupid, POF, Zoosk, etc.
Zoosk found the best time to message women is between 9:45 and 11 PM because that's when women are online the most. Bumble's found the best time of day to send a message to matches is between 8 and 10 PM.
Timing is everything when it comes to your emails to women, so you MUST message women who are online when you are.
Dating apps such as OkCupid, Zoosk, and Match.com will show you women who are online when you use their search tools:
Use your dating sites search tool your advantage and email women who are online first.

Exceptions To Sending Messages When Women Are Online
Not all apps show you when women are online using the app. Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Facebook Dating are examples of apps where you have no idea if a woman is online or not.
On these apps, you should send messages in the evening. If you follow Bumble and Zoosk's lead, you shouldn't send a message until after 8 PM.
What Are The Best Days To Message Women
According to Bumble, the best days to swipe are Friday's and Saturday's. However, when it comes to your first message, Bumble says Sunday's are best.
Bumble also recommends sending women messages on Sunday. Bumble users spend the most amount of time on the app on Sundays, so women are more likely to respond to your message then.
Why You Shouldn’t Message Offline Women
Assume you're a member of POF, and you see an attractive woman you think is perfect for you, but she's not online right now. You crafted a message anyway and hit send and eagerly waiting for her to respond.
Guess what happens? Your message goes to the top of her inbox. Perfect, right?
Your message is the first one the woman sees. Well, not so fast. There’s one small problem. She’s offline right now and won’t be able to check her messages for several hours.
Adding insult to injury, after you send her a message, 5 other guys send her a message. Suddenly your message goes from 1 to 6. Guys are sending her messages for hours, and when she finally logs on to check her emails your message is now at the bottom of her inbox:
Your message, which was first in her inbox when you sent it, is now buried under 56 other messages. And yes, women can receive 30, 40, 50 messages in a day, especially the most attractive ones.
Do you think she’s going to read through 56 messages to get to yours? No, she won’t.
You can get around this by focusing on women who are ONLINE when you are. And it may give you an advantage as Zoosk found most men use online dating sites between 9:00 and 10:00 in the morning.
If you're on an app where you can't see who's online (Tinder, Hinge, or Facebook Dating), it's best to message women in the evening. Women are more active on apps at night. Your message shoots to the top of their inbox instead of lying at the bottom.
Final Thoughts
The best time to send messages to women on dating apps is in the evening, even better if they are online. I can't emphasize this enough, if you're on an app where you can see who's online, message women when they are online.
If you want your message to be at the top of a woman's inbox (or better yet, you want to start chatting), your best chances of striking a conversation is the evening.
If you decide to message offline women, they may never get to your message because it's lost among scores of other guy's messages.
Of course, this is meaningless if your message is garbage. Don't send a message that says "Hi," "How are you?", "Hey," or "How's your evening?" Seriously, don't. You'll get ignored.
Time your messages right, and you may get noticed.
