Gonna try internet dating

[SamMalone]

Never thought it would come to this haha. Working night shift with only weeknights off every week is just killing my social life in general. I have no idea how to do internet dating, especially being a little older. Any tips?

check out naughty ninja's posts on the subject, he gives good advice, unless you are really good looking though, prepare for a lot of frustration and having your self worth eroded

Clear current pictures, no fish, no cars.
Witty profile.
Mention that you want a balance in your life - suggests to them you won't get lost.

It's sooo easy, like shooting ginas in a barrel.

Online dating can definitely get you a few lays. The key is to play the numbers game. You will get a lot of rejections and you will get a lot of messages from fugly chicks. But even if you only end up banging 1 out of 20 chicks you come across online, that's still a lot of potential lays (especially if you live in a big city).

My favorite thing about online dating is that it's allowed me to bang some chicks that I otherwise never would have interacted with. There's lot of different types of girls that you simply don't have many opportunities to mack on (different subcultures, ethnicities, social classes etc.) Online dating has helped make a few fantasies of mine a reality.

If you're looking to bang 6s and desperate single moms, online dating is your place. I've been doing it for a decade.

Try to get three or four of the absolute most rocking photos of yourself you can possibly get. Have a profile body that is short and sweet.. funny but also with a serious side that shows that you (a) have a good job and (b) are looking for dating. If you have a profile that is too "who gives a f*ck" then the vast majority of women who look at your profile will not take you seriously. Not that you have to be serious about dating yourself, but you're better off pretending that you are as that's what the majority of women online claim to be looking for.

Here's some more tips:
1. Have a headline that is short, funny, and eye catching. Something like "are you hitting on me" or "im really picky.. but good luck!"
2. include in your first date something alluring or funny, such as "international crime spree" or "i like to be wined and dined" etc you get the idea
3. avoid including a pic of you without a shirt, any pic without a shirt, but include photos of you wearing clothes that reveal your muscular physique if you have one
4. mass spam women with funny first emails, and try to include something personal about their profile

Keep in mind that online dating is EXTREMELY frustrating. You will go on dozens of dead end dates for every one or two rather average looking women you will end up banging. I bag a few 9's here and there, but it's almost always when they have msged me first. Don't take it personally, online dating for women is kind of like when we go to a restaurant and have to pick from a menu: we are deluged with so many choices we invariably end up picking the wrong dish.

It's easier (in a way) than picking up women in real life, but that's why the returns are not nearly as profitable. Prepare to waste a lot of time with women who are crazy/still in love/have kids and are online just to prop up their own fragile egos. If you follow this advice, you will get laid here and there. But if you're looking for a normal relationship with a healthy, stable woman, then online dating is the wrong place for you to be.

Now while i find Naughty ninja's pof suggestions as funny as anyone else here, i have found through trial and error that they are not the most effective means of dating online. They will get a lot of responses, but i find that his tips tend to attract the wrong types of women ie women who are just out to have a few laughs with you while wasting your time and having no intention of meeting up with you.

Best of luck and let us know how it goes!

First message is a unique funny opener. Then the 'clown' act is canned and you simply respond to what they responded and add: "How's the site been treating you so far?" (Your REAL name.) After they respond to that. You respond to whatever they say along with: You seem like a pretty cool person. I'm not on here much. Give me your number and I'll give you a call sometime. =) (Your real name)

Most hand over their number. (Depending on how good you look and how good your PICTURES are.)

If they respond "I'd prefer to talk on here a little bit before giving my number out." You respond in a 'nice' way. "Cool. I'll talk to you soon! =)" and DO NOT write them back anymore, or ask again for their number. They either send it in the future or they play 'chat buddies' with the loads of desperate horndogs on there. Some take the hint that you aren't desperate and busy or busy meeting other chicks and send their number in a few days. By then you should already have several others and won't care if they've sent theirs or not.

If they do. Take the number and call them in a few days to set up a meet. Have a plan beforehand. Once you get so many numbers it becomes an easy system and not a single fvck is given if some flake or don't give their numbers.

If you are under 5 foot 10 forget about online dating

 

[Zarky]

Not true, I'm 5'8 and I've banged nearly 2 dozen chicks from online dating.

Actually, as of the last one I think it is 2 dozen now.

 

[Naughty Ninja]

Add some inches to your online 'height'. Consider it evening out the myspace angles. Simple.

 

[MaddXMan]

I used a great ****y/funny headline: "Not conceited, just convinced. "

Use pics from your fb - you doing something active, out with friends - you know, pics that your friends took and "tagged" you in. A bunch of self shots in the mirror is lame.

It's fun online, once you hit your stride you will get dates and lays but probably not a LTR.

Good luck

women lie alot in their profile, I met some women who wrote they are 170 cm and they were about 155
so you have the right to write any thing , as long as you are not serious

 

[Serg897]

Overall a waste of time IMHO. You can spend a lot of time writing a profile, picking the best pictures, and most of all messaging many many girls but if you are 5'7 (like me) with average to maybe slightly above average looks the time spent on these websites is not worth the return.

A year or two ago I got laid several times off okcupid simply by having ONE good picture of me on my profile, sending out many messages and getting a few replies. Once the girls actually met up with me it was actually pretty easy to get them into bed - the hard part is getting them to meet up with you in person.

I found a ton of success when I created a profile that was 110% different from all the others. It was pretty ballsy and I got a little hate mail for it. Without going into detail it was basically a bulleted list of about 15 things I had learned from women. Some of the things I listed were related to topics that are discussed here. By listing what I had learned it conveyed that I knew what I was doing with women, understood them, and could relate. I think thats why I was successful with it. It made me stand out because most guys are pretty much clueless.

The return on investment from internet dating is a big waste. There is a lot of trash to sort thru so it takes a lot of looking/messaging to find someone decent.

Why can't you go into detail? I would like to see the profile...

 

[The Duke]

I caught my ex girlfriend on there lying about her age. She is one of those girls who looks way younger than she is. She put she was 7 years younger than she actually was. I couldn't resist calling her out on it. How pathetic some women are.

And yes I would say there is some truth to the whole height and income thing. Women are pretty shallow and superficial by nature! I experimented with my income once. For 3weeks I said I made $50,000. Then I changed it to $100,000. I got 30pct more page views with the higher income.

As far as height goes 5'10" and taller will have more success I'd say. Its pretty dumb that most girls couldn't tell the difference between 5'8" and 5'10" without a tape measure.

You ain't kidding. Try reading the Plenty of Fish forums sometime. Good God the amount of completely clueless foreveralones on that site is staggering...along with the 'nice' till I die WK's...and the women who B.S them with hilarious useless 'advice'. It's like putting hot pins into your retinas. No joke.

 

[seasonedplayer]

In one sense, we are being forced to play this game of internet dating. This is because it is getting harder to meet girls at bars because people have private parties at bars these days rather than go to meet random guys

 

[SamMalone]

I've gotten messages From 9 chicks so far of which 7 were hefty, one was ugly, and one was cute but young. I messaged prolly 30 chicks tonight just to see who responds. None yet.

 

[The Duke]

Don't expect the hotties to message you. The hot ones get about 30-50messages a day so they don't spend much time sending messages to new people.

 

[PDubb75]

I've pretty much given up on POF. I've always been picky when it comes to women, but holy hell are these girls ugly. And I don't just mean that a lot are ugly. I mean I looked at roughly 120 last night and only wanted to message 1. I am finding somewhat better girls on OKCupid in my area, but still not seeming worth my time...
