Polishing Your Online Dating Profile

Posted on Saturday, June 6, 2009 in Online Dating, Straight Advice

Hey guys,
Are you involved with any online dating services?

How have your results been?

You know, the majority of guys never get great results from online dating because of two things.

1. Bad profile picture or no picture at all.

Sure, we’d all rather not be judged based on a small, compressed image of ourselves, but this is the reality, a bad picture or no picture at all posted with your profile? You’ll have 70% – 90% worse results than if you had a professional, recently taken, picture of yourself with just your head and shoulders, posted with your profile.

2. Coming on too strong or trying to move the “relationship” along only through email.

Yes, long distance romances do happen that start online and can mature and grow for several months before the two people meet, but that is the exception not the rule.

Online dating is so you can meet online then go for a date! It’s simply amazing how many guys actually miss this point.

“Hi, you seem nice, want to meet for a coffee?”, that’s a little strong.

Imagine your first email as the “opener”, your second as the “conversation” and your third as the “request to meet”.

Follow this pattern and you’ll always have success with online dating.

Now, about meeting that Great Girl?… read more here…

Real Skill Development

Posted on Friday, June 5, 2009 in Straight Advice

Chew on this:

If you’re ‘practicing your pickup’ on store employees, are you really making any improvement to how you approach and talk to women?

The reality is NO.

If you think that chatting up an employee, someone that is paid to be nice to you in order to get a sale, then you’ll also think that hiring a hooker amounts to scoring with your dates.

You might think that by behaving like a “customer” you’ll have an inside track to getting the responses you want when in reality you’re playing the sales clerk’s game…. and if they outfox you, you’re buying something.

If not, then just whose time were you wasting?

Right, yours.

So, move out of “testing your stuff” on sales clerks and start in the real world.

And if you need some help with the real world pickup, then you’ve got to start here.
