Men who complain that dating apps favor women are now using AI to ‘level the playing field’ – by creating irresistible pick-up lines.
DailyMail.com spoke to Paul, 30, and Eddi, 20, from Florida, who use chatbots as ‘wingmen’ to generate entire conversations that they claim can lead to up to five dates a week.
The singles use apps like Rizz and MGAI that are specifically designed as dating tools that follow text prompts — you can tell the AI to write a message “with the charm of Leonardo DiCaprio.”
Paul told DailyMail.com: ‘The first day I used the AI, I matched with a bad guy, got a response, scored a date and we connected – all in less than 24 hours.’
Paul, 30, used AI ‘wingman’ apps to generate openers. He told DailyMail.com that the ‘odds are against you as a man’ and that attractive women will get 100 matches a day, making it a ‘numbers game’ for men

“I have a hundred better things to do than use my brain to come up with a witty line that will most likely go to a 16-year-old Indian boy pretending to be a pretty girl so he can scam me out of twenty dollars,” Paul said. , who is from Miami.
‘Or to get a twenty percent chance of an answer that usually doesn’t go anywhere.
“Dating apps are a means to an end for me, so whatever I can do to get better results while minimizing exposure to their toxic, dopamine-hijacking streams, I will do it.”
Paul said he used apps, including MGAI and Wing, to generate openers and send follow-ups.
He also explained that the MGAI (Message Game AI) app can be fine-tuned to generate openers that do the job.
“Like many AI tools, it requires rapid engineering to get a good line out of it,” says Paul.
‘For example, I have a text fragment that I use for texting that says: ‘Write with the charm of Leo Dicaprio and the nonchalance of Jake Paul. Text like a teenager on Snapchat. Avoid punctuation. no emojis. Don’t be lame.’
He said such cues produce a “slacker opener” within “two to three seconds.”
Paul claimed he can now arrange four to five dates a week by texting for ten minutes twice a day.

‘I don’t always do that much, but it is much more efficient. And now I have a surplus, so I can arrange more dates than I need and pick up when I’m busy or less down,” he continued.
Although most women Paul meets are not averse to him seeking help from software, but for example he recalled his date being furious after he found out – but she used a fake photo on her profile.
“Last Thursday I went on a date to a wine bar and got catfished, so a bad start,” he told DailyMail.com.
“She randomly started complaining about AI. Anyway, I told her that texting girls on apps is a waste of time, so I used AI to do it for me.
“She turned around for a moment, got salty and said it was immoral and that I was catfishing her.
“I told her that’s completely ridiculous because guys always ask their friends to help them text.
Eddie said Rizz has completely changed his approach to dating
Eddie also explained that Rizz helps him generate “icebreakers.”
“I also pointed out that she uses AI to enhance her appearance every day when she uses filters on IG.”
Paul then snuck into the restroom and asked AI what the most polite way to tell someone to leave a date is.
Eddie, 20, uses another app, Rizz, to write chat rules for online dating.
‘The online dating world can be very rough. Endless swiping, lame intros and ghosting: I was so close to deleting the apps,” he said.
The Rizz analyzes the context of conversations and provides pre-written suggestions on how the user would typically respond.
The platform’s website states that users upload screenshots of conversations with their match and the potential partner’s biography, and the AI ”gives you funny, smart and witty responses that your match won’t be able to resist.”
“Rizz tailored his suggestions to complement my specific voice and vibe, rather than just conjuring up generic one-liners or opening lines.
“It brought back a human element to dating apps that we normally only experience in real life.”
Eddie said Rizz allowed him to “break through” in conversations and find dates – and has “changed his approach to dating.”
