"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.

A friend of mine, professor at a Texas University is visiting my school for a sabbatical. He is a 30-something year old, good looking, 5 9'' , and slender, not necessarily athletic.

Upon joking about online dating sites, he decided to get a match.com account, and listed his profession as a "Teacher" (although he is also a researcher), location as "Chicago" and income as 150K (which is only slightly higher than what he makes).

In less than 2 days, he got 30 e-mails , more than 20 winks , and ~ 200 views.
The number is rising exponentially as we speak, and he has never initiated any contact himself.

A lot of attractive 25-30 year old women are teasing him, asking him questions, and trying to get a drink ... Some of them are overly sexual and most of them are genuinely interested.

It seemed interesting and different from what people generally report about online dating,
so I thought I'd share.

It actually surprised me, as I have never seen an online fury like this for a male account.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Single men who have a good job should join match, play the "I just want to settle down" alpha in beta's clothing game and then clean house.

Can you give me specific pointers on how to play that game on Match?

It's not a game.

You just make a good profile, no meatball pictures (shirt off, picture of a fish ...), crack a couple jokes ... you're good to go.

List yourself as "seeking a relationship".
Money for sure is important. I listed the maximum and the responses were from either rich women, gold diggers or total nut jobs. Didn't have many "average" women respond to me.

When I started match, I listed my catch line as "House broken alpha male seeks companion" (which nothing could have been further from the truth) and that really helped the views I think.

Do a couple top tens (one turnons - romantic crap, one turnoffs - make the turnoffs funny).

After that, just let them do the work.

Have him change his income to 30K and see what happens. Higher income is to women what large, perky t&a are to men.
 

"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.

Anyone can just lie though? Listing a high income in itself needs to be backed up by visible proof e.g. cars, nice place

I was on Match for quite a while and when I increased my income by $25,000 and added 1" to my height I generated a lot more interest.

More lies = more snatch.

Experiment with "$28,000 income, lives with elderly parent and 5 cats", and see how many replies come in. I bet it'll be zero. That online dating shıt is fücked up.

It's strictly all income.

Obviously something to do with looks... but believe me, it's the income.
