Any tips for picking up girls online?
Yeah...DON'T.
Come on...if you happen to be interested in someone's online personality and you want to meet them for REAL, that's one thing. If you look to pick up girls on the Internet...good luck. Cuz that's what it is...luck. Maybe once in a great while you'll find someone who's worth the time and not just BSing (people have radically different personas on the Internet than in real life).
And when you do, you will STILL need to MEET that person in the REAL world to be intimate.
Why not just skip the damned "love-by-proxy" steps and meet her in real life to begin with?
You want to open a browser and download a girlfriend. Put some effort into finding women.
You say you have no time? If something's important enough, you MAKE time.
Internet conversations are NOTHING like real life. I've found this by talking to girls over the Internet. It's a completely different dynamic. No amount of "practice" chatting online will prepare you for a real conversation, where you have to react and respond in real-time, not just verbally, but physically.
I dunno...maybe you're different. Maybe you can be satisfied with some words on a screen. To me, that eliminates everything that's great about women from the process.
