a hot body and a pretty face, and for me a college degree. whatever's written in their profile is assumed to be false or at a minimum fluff.

same thing offline right? hot chick at starbucks sitting there all by herself. could be an idiot, could be smart, could be a diamond in the rough.

did you ever do that Myspace experiment?

I read your old thread but that seemed to turn into a flame war. if your interested in doing it let me know..

jason2020@gmail.com

i've already got my picture up and am getting some good responses but am having trouble breaking through the infastructure and really getting deep into the community..right now im definitely on the fringe.

hit me up Rick.

we had it going, but i let it die off for various reasons. yeah, the guy who started the flame war on that particular post, has thank goodness, been BANNED. another person who was part of it was also banned (unrelated to our myspace activities).

myself and another cool dude who posts here are still messing around, doing our thing on myspace.

The Community, lol. 2% of the guys are fukking 90% of the hot chicks. pretty much a fact online, offline, doesn't matter. but, shhhhh. :woo:

It wasn't that she was boring, just that she was reserved enough to not depart from a formal and scripted interaction at first. Eventually she broke out of it and we had a good time. I was assuming it was going to be like that, and I get along better with those types anyway.

 

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Gotcha. I know that I stay away from profiles using cliché terms as 'walks around the lake','fine dining' and 'watching movies.' Not to say that I don't like those types of things also, but give me a break. If a person isn't going to share something interesting about themselves in their profile, why should I even waste the time contacting them?

 

[Casino]

ok...i gotcha.

i like your basic premise to online sarging. you always have to keep your pipeline full. no matter what. a basic sales tactic. Sooner or later you will have an abundance of options. thats actually what i'm aiming for. just marketing myself. so far the results are a little mixed. i'll chalk it up to online inexperience.

but if you need someone else to help assist on the project im down.

by the same token, why should you approach a strange chick at starbucks, whom you know absolutely nothing about, except that her nipples are showing thru her top and she looks hot? does she look like she's interesting? lol. damn, you don't even know if she's single, or a dike.

all's i'm saying is, i don't care about her profile. most likely some of the stuff on there are outright lies or embellishments, half-truths, whatever. that's cool. we're doing it too.

if she's hot, i add her. if she contacts me, theeeen i'll read her profile, very carefully actually. i'll find out if she's interesting forthwith after that. i'll also find out if she can string a decent sentence together.

shut up ER!C and get back to myspace...there's pvssy to be had and good girls to corrupt. :cheer:

Is that why nobody responds to me?

You're talking about two totally different things. You are comparing a medium where your first impression is only from their written word to one where there is real time interaction.

Online dating is like going to a restaurant and ordering from the menu. Which would most people choose if given the choice between steak and fillet minion is price wasn't an issue? It's about presentation.

I'm not sure if you were making a joke or asking a legitimate question. From my experience, the majority of the emails I get from women about my profile are questions about something I wrote or picture I posted that piqued their interest.

I talk about everything from road bike, mountain bike and go cart racing, local Renaissance Festivals to running with the bulls during the San Fermin festival in Spain. I give them more than enough to comment on in a email.

I'm sure that my profile intimidates some women but that's fine with me. I wouldn't be interested in those women.

nevertheless, you know nothing about either one, prior to the approach. the only real difference is that there is not real time feedback, which could have advantages actually.

Assuming it getting a little boring at the end didn't completely kill the attraction, everything else went well. Will write or call her back in a few days and see what happens.

She beat me to it, and emailed me last night saying she had a great time and hopes to get together again soon. This one has potential.

The other girl I met last week seems to have flaked. Wrote to her five days ago and haven't heard back since. Oh well.

 

[picard]

why don't you guys go see the movie "love dogs" to get some pointers? The girl supposed to have post her profile on match.com.

Perhaps. All I know is that more than a couple times has a woman replied to a simple 'wink' in Match.com with a phone number. It may be because of my pictures, my profile or combination of both. The written word can be a very powerful thing.

 

[iveyleeger]

Were those #'s real? Were they BBWs? Cougars? Russian brides?

Most women don't even pay for the subscription so they cannot reply to a wink with a #.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. What have you got for us Francisco?

Meeting her again for the third time this Friday. We went out last week and it ended perfectly. Told her I had to take her to a suspension footbridge nearby where I went to school, and that it'd start bouncing if you walked across it at just the right pace. So we walked out, got it bouncing, she started laughing...at which point I pulled her in and kissed her. This time should be more exciting since we've already gotten past that hurdle.

Back from date #3 with shy girl. Good parts: She wanted to plan it out, since I had planned out the last two. Points for her there. She's open to getting together any time I suggest...everything I mention doing is great with her. She kissed me this time when I dropped her off. Confusing parts: She's touch to crack. I still don't have a feel for who she is. Not the greatest conversationalist, and I have to be very creative to keep it interesting. I'm hoping she'll relax enough to talk more on her own. I'll give it a couple more shots to see where things go.

Anyway, I'm having a party at my place tomorrow, and briefly mentioned it to her a few days ago and it sounded like she'd want to come over. I don't think it'd be much fun for her, as I'll be busy playing host and she'll have to interact with a bunch of my friends/acquaintances who are stangers to her(hopefully not the desperate creepy guys...they might scare her away) . But, it would be an opportunity to get her over to my place and see if things open up more.

Shy girl: "I had a good time last night however, I'm just not feeling the chemistry and think there are too many differences between us. Good luck, I hope you find what you're looking for."

What a turn-around. Disappointing, very disappointing.

I could think about how I may have screwed up, but I really don't think I did with this one. That's just what happens somtimes. Too much effort trying to communicate with her....and I'm sensing I'd eventually lose interest in her anyway.

Still, she had a lot of qualities I thought of as perfect. I consider this a loss. Even though it was a pain and effort to get along with her. Yes, I'd developed some feelings for her. But, that will all pass in time.
