"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I've decided to see what the fuss was with the online thing since so many of you are having fun, and success with it. :)

Anyways, feel free to input critisism, suggestions, as I plan on using what I can to improve my profile.

Seems like it could use some constructive critisism from some experienced online profilers.

So yeah, lemme know whatcha think.. :D

sigh, not really... but in that picture it kinda looks that way :(

I think I will leave it there for now, though, cause that other pic is pretty good in my opinion. :D

success = fun.

I'm not looking for anything in particular. In fact I am quite content with my situation. But I thank you for the luck, nonetheless ;)
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Never done any online profiles like this before.

Let's see about myself..

I am an attractive guy, 6'1" medium/large build, good shape. Full time military in Anchorage. Pretty fun to hang around.

I really enjoy outdoory activities, skiing, hiking, etc.

I am a pretty damn good skier, so if you want a challenge, I'll go with anyone.

I enjoy rock music the most, though I can appreciate anything if it is good.

I am into fitness and working out a lot, so I spend a few hours a week in the gym, and run a few miles almost every day.

I enjoy spending time with friends a lot.

I also enjoy meeting new people, so shoot me a line, I can send pics.

Basically what I am lookin for is to test this system of meeting people out.

So, if you like, shoot me an email and we will see what transpires. You never know...
**************************************************


Ok:

1. You listed a bunch of things that you enjoy doing, but ask yourself this question: Who cares? from the perspective of a possible reader.

2. You haven't listed anything romantic about yourself. Just that your like this jungle gym dude who works out.

3. Do you enjoy movies, romantic dinners, long walks, long talks...these are the things that woman are looking for. You must sell yourself to them. Nothing that you've listed in my humble opinion has any attraction for a possible female. That is unless she want's to hang out in the gym with you all day.

4. These online ads are just that. They are advertisments to sell a product. That product is YOU. In sales there use to be a saying "sell the sizzle not the steak" That means sell the emotions and not the facts or features. Sell how good it would be to be with you talking those long walks or having long talks over coffee.

cheers,

I like the way you said that "my purpose for being here is basically to test how this thing works, shoot me an e-mail, you never know" that was great. Mystery.

The picture is also good. I think you should have good results. (But than again my taste is different from American chicks). But maybe the Eskimo have similar taste with me.

But than you give too much information about yourself (in the "about my match" section). Leave something for her to dredge out of you later. Especially don't say you are a sidekick, women want a leader.

And don't tell them how much money you earn -- cause you might attract a gold digger. State the LOWEST possibble income.

Mr Harris,

I don't agree with you. Being open to fun and romance is a basic given. However, you do want to state what you are looking for a in girl. It's easy to compound their interest levels when you give the impression that you have lofty yet reasonable standards that you want fulfilled.

Yo Andro,

Your profile looks pretty good to me. The only thing i see is that it might freak some girls out to see you holding a gun in that first picture LOL.

you holding a gun in that first picture
I was going for the phallic inuendo there..

Jk :D


I don't know if you are Russian heritage in any way, or that you learned Russian as an important language to know as a soldier (not as important as it was during the good ole days.) In any case, as someone who knows Russian, and being located in Alaska, you may want to look at meeting women in Russia, especially the Russian Far East. The dating situation in Russia is the polar opposite of Alaska, even though the climate is just as polar.
No, I'm not russian. Norwegian, if anything but alas, I am a mutt.

Russian here, atleast at the college, is pretty common. And yes, the Russian women abound. I dated a gorgeous one for nearly 2 years. Amazing women..

As far as it being an important language as a soldier, not unless you were special forces. I plan on going to SF assessment/selection after my current enlistment is up, though. They love russian speakers / hard asses. :D

Anyways, back to topic...

the USA is the worst country, and Alaska is the worst state.

Man, you said it. You must have been here...

I much prefer foreign chicks. I've dated a few and they are great. And yeah Alaska does suck for meeting women. Guys way out number girls here, and the guys are all hot and well employed. Great jobs up here, though
:rolleyes:


Too bad i wasnt gay...

Then I could have my cake and eat it, too.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
