"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 have a profile up on plentyoffish.com. It is http://www.plentyoffish.com/member10936617.htm

I am trying to figure out if there is anything in my profile that needs to be change?

What would be a good response rate on PoF? I would say I get about 50%. Is this low?

The messages I haven't sent out recently are:
" What's up, punk? I was just browsing profiles and saw yours and
something caught my eye. You profile is kind of short. I am
wondering what else do you have going for you besides you looks?
Beauty is overrated.

I have a feeling that you are more than your looks. Let see if
are the nice and interesting person that you look like in the
pictures.

I am willing to bet that you get 650 emails a day from guys who
write "sup, sexy" or dirty old married men who want to be your
sugar daddy. If you are used to that, then I am sure this email
is refreshing.

I am not one to talk about myself but I'm: 25, tall, hansome,
adventurous and funny. So, if you don't like to laugh then
that's going to be trouble.

In the worst case you might make a cool friend."

I am trying to figure out if there is anything wrong with my template.
 

"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.

Delete the fact that you're an escort. Unless you're only looking for low quality skanks. Instead of "future physician" I would put Med Student.

Get rid of the pic of you in the club wearing the Grey jacket. The photo makes you look like you have a double chin.

Delete the photo of you sitting on the bed. The brightness is way off, it's boring, and doesn't mesh with the other photos.

Switch your status from "friends" to "dating." Women want to think that you're at least somewhat serious about finding someone.

I don't like this one at all. You sound like a jerk/wannabe PUA in this paragraph.

This one sounds like something a JAG (just another guy) would write. You won't stand out at all with this one. This one reeks of copy and paste.

Internet dating is great if you know how to use it correctly.

POF is free, which is about all a dating site is worth. Any man worth his salt does not need a dating site to land dates. Nonetheless, its a good way to meet new people outside of your social circles.

Your profile is boring. You have a standard, cliched profile about wanting to meet the right girl, and all the qualities you think a right girl should have etc. BORING! Think of something original. I'd say more, but then it wouldn't be original;) And don't make it too long. I'd say about three LINES tops. It's the picture that matters most.

Oh yeah, your description of a "first date" is super cliche and maudlin. Axe it completely. Don't even fill that section in since its a waste of time.

You have too many pictures, many of which are boring. Just keep pic 2, and try to get a pic that shows your full stature(not shirtless) and axe the rest.

The text messages you send to girls are very supplicative. You mention that the girls are pretty in a few of them. They know this, so don't mention it. You may think that having a qualifier about their personalities makes up for this, but it doesn't - keep in mind that many of these pretty girls know that they do not need good personalities, and will do just fine in life without having to answer to you.

Say something original to them. It would be far better if the topic wasn't about dating, or personalities, or all those other cliches, at all. Send something out of left field.

As for what you are looking for, either put down "dating" or "hang out", which both imply the sort of relationships that may or may not be exclusive but always involve sex. "long term" is what desperate old women use, "other relationship" and "activity partner" are just ways to get around the "intimate encounter" restrictions, which means they basically indicate full-on casual sex and are usually used by fat older women and couples looking for MMF threesomes. "friend/talk-email" is what people who have no stones use - overly polite men, and cute Asian women. Please stop using it.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

With internet dating, the better your profile is, the better your chances are. On the larger sites, women can get hundreds of message each day. With that amount, even guys who try to stand out end up blending together.

Remember, you have a far greater chance of success when approaching a woman in real life than you do on the internet. The internet simply makes it easy for you to stay inside your comfort zone.

I won't comment much on your profile, as I haven't used an internet dating service.

I agree with the poster above who said to remove the "escort" line, it doesn't really come across as humourous (it's the internet, text on the internet has no tone, I think a lot of women will take that line seriously, or be confused.)

I DISAGREE WITH MOST OF WHATS SAID ON THIS POST.

U CAN VIRTUALLY WRITE ANYTHING IN YOUR PROFILE AND STILL GET DATES.

CONCENTRATE ON MAKING FIRST CONTACT BY CREATING CLEVER SUBJECT LINES TO GET THEM TO READ YOUR EMAIL FIRST!!!!!!!!!!

then create a cool email that challenges and entices them to respond........LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN.

1) cool headline to get your email read FIRST

2) cool email to get a quick RESPONSE.

those two things are very important, pictues, profile are secondary

3) THE SECOND EMAIL.............GOTTA HAVE THIS TO GET THE DIGITS.
