Most don't give any info about themselves, and what little info they give in written in Chinese;
There is no way to determine what they want or are offering;
Some are selling products or non sexual services.
Sooo... what's the point? How do you guys chose which one to try to move on? Do you send a "hello" to every female with a nice looking photo?
Is there some filter to weed out all the guys or women with no picture?

Yes, you can choose to see only men or only women in "people nearby." Just adjust the settings in that feature. If the profiles look like Backpage sex ads, they probably are. Otherwise they are most likely just civvies playing with social media. While it's no help with profiles, there is a translation feature once you start communicating. Just hold down your finger on the message, and wait for the pop-up menu. Select translate. The translations aren't perfect, but usually good enough.
