"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

For those of you who are/have been on match.com and/or plentyoffish, are your profiles the same or do you alter them for each site? what i mean is, how different are the girls on match.com compared to the ones on pof? do you have to put up with the same b.s. on both sites or is match not nearly as bad as pof? how picky are the hoe's on match? are they "entitled" on match as they are on pof in that the fatties think theyre god's gift to men and the decent looking ones are there for the attention? is match full of single moms?

i had an AWESOME profile i used on pof that i caught some flack from alot of women, but it did weed out the ones i wouldnt want to waste my time with anyways. youd be suprised how many women emailed me agreeing with what i said as well as telling me how awesome and refreshing my profile was, yada, yada, yada. i ended up closing that account and was curious if that same profile would work on match or do i have to appear to be some white knight who likes walks in the park, wine, and lap dogs?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I just re-activated my match.com profile after being off it for several years.

Way more women now then there was back then.

I use the same profile for POF, OKC & Match.

I have to say, the level of quality women appears to be MUCH higher on Match then any of the free dating sites. Paying a subscription kinda weeds out some of the trash.

I am annoyed by the women who list minimum salary the guy should be making. I laughed when I saw my ex on there. Also saw a lot of other lady friends I know too.

I met a really decent (so far so good) woman on there within 2 weeks.

Ya know, I wouldn't even waste your time. Or if you do spend any effort on online dating, just mass email a few each day and have no expectations. I remember talking to a friend of mine not long ago who had a new gf, and he told me that she would average 200-300 emails a DAY while online dating. A day. That is just ridiculous and goes to show you not only how desperate guys are, but how much women have to choose from and how low your odds are.

It can be frustrating.

But once in awhile you meet a really great woman that stands out from the crowd.

But yeah, keep the expectations low.

This year I've had a lot less responses than I had last year. It's like it's getting worse.

Robert already knows all this though.
