I am completely and totally useless online. This doesn't really matter since I meet enough women in real life.
However I have some credits left on LavaLife that I'd like to turn into a few on-the-side lays, so I'm experimenting with random nerdy/C&F messages.
(That's right, Im using techniques, those things I always say are useless... but what the hell else am I supposed to use when all I have is text?!)
Although I'm typically the one GIVING advice for in-person interactions and inner game things, I am fully willing to admit that I have a HUGE WEAKNESS when it comes to online, text based approahes.
So I post here with a sample of the sort of message I'm using, and I hope you can critique it.
I rely so much on tone of voice and other non-verbal cues that this is really hard for me since those things aren't present in a text message. Really, I just have trouble getting girls past the hook point and actually on MSN. I can take it from there quite easily. I just typically can't differentiate myself in the first message or two.
So one HB8 says her cat is a "knight in shining armor"... my experimental message to her follows. I think I come off like a bit of a confident dork. I've tried playful, arrogant, funny... for some reason, what works in person just doesn't work at ALL for me when it comes to text messages. Sigh.

SUBJECT: I think I can take him.
Your cat, that is. Exactly what kind of shining armour does he have? I need to know so that I sharpen the right kind of sword before we fight.
I'm not on LL much, but I do have pictures to share over MSN at <EMAIL> I look like one of Santa's elves bred with a reindeer. Typically, I find that girls LOVE this look.
Cheers,
Me
