I think this is part of what the advice is trying to say.

The noise looks like noise. It's the guys who say "Sup babe?" to every girl on dating-app-de-jour.

Standing out from the noise isn't hard. But it does mean at least writing a cover letter for each job app that shows you've done more than just copy/paste your generic details and cv into every role on $jobSite's new listing page this morning before you left for work.

Saying "Hey, I see you like live music, wanna go see $coolBand next Thursday? Oh, and I really like your hair in your 3rd pic :-)" isn't gonna "win you the girl", but it's going to be much less likely it be insta-deleted than "Sup babe?" sent to everyone.

Btw dude, those girls on dating sites are not going to even read the text. They just look at your image while scrolling...

"Sub babe?" instantly works of you have a hot pic in your profile.
