Going online - anybody good with writing emails?

[OceanWindRider]

Hey, I am trying out the online game:
MySpace and plentyoffish.com
My chat game is good, however, the chat does not seem to do anything. At least not on the POF (plentyoffish).
So I figured, writing emails is the only thing that work there.
I like my profile.
But it's really difficult to come up with something cool to say in the email.

So what do you guys usually write?
Or are there any good emails that work well for you?

Thanks

Natural flow is the next stage
My flow is good. In chats...
However, I have no idea how to write a great hi-impact first email...

Something about the girl's ad, something about you, something funny, something about seeing where things could lead.

First, write that you read her ad and liked it, she sounds like a girl who is smart and nice/knows what she wants/is looking for the same as you. Also, you like it that she (something particular from her ad here, to show that you are not just copying and pasting the same message to dozens of women. Of course you are copying and pasting most of it, why wouldn't you? But the parts about her, those parts should really be about her, not just a compliment you use for all the girls.).

New paragraph: "I am a...." you describe what you do, and how long you have been single. (It is interesting for her to hear if you just broke up last week, or six months ago, or five years ago.) You write what you are looking for at this point in life, and since you know two guys who met their girlfriends through the internet, it seems like it's worth a try. (By mentioning that, you show her that you're not just online because you are chained to your computer. Also, you show her that she doesn't have to feel embarrassed for using internet dating, that you are treating it as a normal thing.)

Try to insert something humorous, mildly humorous that is, throughout the message. If you can manage to write something humorous it proves your intelligence, and that you aren't desperate; you show that you are on top of things. Keep in mind, this girl wants to be certain you are not a desperate loser, so you need to show that you are a relaxed guy who is writing without too much emotion invested in it. You have a smile on your face and a devil-may-care attitude. Which isn't true, of course you have written to a lot of girls already and it's frustrating as hell sometimes, but she doesn't need to hear that.

A suitable joke could be when you describe what you are looking for: "Fluffy hair is a must, inherited fortune is optional." Or: "However, none of this matters if you know how to make ravioli. Mmm, ravioli...."

MAKE SURE that you add something active, somewhere. You are not just a couch potato. You write that you were off camping last weekend, or went on a road trip with your buddies last month, or you are cutting the email short because karate class is starting in an hour and you don't want to be late. Make sure you give her an activity to picture you in.

Hey, Otter
This is one awesome reply, dude! Thanks a million
Seriously, this is like the best reply I have had ever on any questions that I can remember. Great info and very to the point!!!

I also found out that David D. has a program: Meeting Women Online. So I am going to see if my friends have it or search for some feedback online.

Meanwhile, I am trying not to chain myself to the computer but rather go out and go through the DJ Bootcamp, which is going pretty slow for me so far...

Juan and only - using this kind of language is disrespectful for other people.
It takes me 4 times to read your post to understand what the hell you meant.
That's disrespect of my time. I talk Russian and I can write my response to Russian. And I am sure, being a smart guy, you can find how to translate it to English. Would you like if I do that? I don't think so...
So please leave this kind of language to the community that uses exclusively it and use English for SoSuave and other general communities.

POF you must open several of chat windows to get many responses. Sending an msg to inbox is more time-effective.

I haven't done online in a while really. POF sucks for finding people to instant msg, although if you open enough windows you'll get responses. You can also SPAM inboxes. Just SPAM something out there and then game the ones who reply. I use an opener that sucks them in, but I've also modified Louis and Copeland's template which worked fine also. I actually don't know what worked best anymore.

My thing with online is I don't really care what works best. I want to know what in the hell I can do to get them at my house without spending any time or energy on it whatsoever. I even had scripts running to SPAM them.

Basically, I think you should SPAM all the dating site inboxes, always lie about your occupation on the pay sites, find another avenue for IMing to avoid having to watch all those POF windows, and go out more

everywomanshero,
Basically, the advice is: "do something" or "do whatever" or smth along those lines?

Try finiding something interesting about her profile then relate it to the email

example: girl - " in my spare time i love drawing art!" so you would write, art is one of my hobbies, what is the best thing you can draw?"

remember to keep your e-mails short, shorter than her's at least. Never reply as soon as you get the email response ( it makes you look needy see my thread: THE EVOLUTION OF MAN) i usually don't reply until like 2 or 3 days afterwards -- somtimes a week. lol you become a mystery and women love that TRUST ME. good luck :yes:

You seem to have missed the irony. My post was meant as a joke.

p.s I'm sorry my friend, I had no idea english was not your first language.

Online Sarging = KJing

I understand a keyboard jockey to be one who gives his opinion, thoughts, and interpretations as advice. Online sarging has been effective for me in allowing me to target females in my ideal age group (18-21).

Original poster: I've had alot of success using myspace. Do an advanced search of this site using my screen name and the word myspace.

 

[OceanWindRider]

ER!C I am glad to hear that

I totally agree with your definition, but I wouldn't get into argument with people who are not mature enough to have an argument backed by something valuable to say in the first place

Anyway, for me, I don't go online now - intentionally.
Cause I can spend too much time there and I've got a whole bunch of skills I need to work on. Such as I am going through the bootcamp now and I want to go out for practicing, etc.
I don't want to use online as a crutch and an easy work-around.
So my online game is on-hold for now until further notice
