"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Help me get better at online dating.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Stop using Tinder and use POF and OKC. OLD is based on pictures, so make sure they help you instead of hurt you.

Don't pay much attention to women with empty profiles and focus on ones with profiles you like. Sure, you'll get fewer numbers, but the numbers you do get will be women you'll have a high probability of having fun with.
Don't try and force conversation by asking a bunch of questions, it will flow naturally when she has interest. If you get a lame response don't reply. Maybe test her interest again after a week or two, but if nothing then cross her off the list. Less is more in online dating, the more time you spend the more you're just scraping the bottom of the barrel for women with low interest or who you aren't that attracted to.
You need to come up with some kind of funny opener that will get them to respond. Compliment them on one of there hot pics. Ask her to meet you for drinks.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

-pictures are everything!
-comedy and sarcasm is very tricky
I have actually had the most success with coffee meets bagel, I think largely due to the small amount of matches they get per day. I have had 5 different women literally just give me their number saying "I don't check this app often, text me". Also, you can't send messages till your matched like tinder.
POF and OKC women can browse matches for hours and get flooded with messages. I hit those every couple days, but I really need better pics...
