"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

WELL it had to happen, the free site now wants to cash in on its popularity. It had an old slogan about how it would never charge a fee, why pay for a memebership, blah blah blah..............NOW its "experiementing" with GET NOTICED campain---highlights, gold dots for "SERIOUS MEMBERS". For an additional fee U got some gold sticker like dots next to your profile.........and are 9 X more likely to get your profile read, responded to yada yada yada.

Well if U fall for this stuff.........although the stats are true (9 times more likely, increased responses)...........U are wasting your money.

There are other things which are free that can increase your response/get noticed ratio BEYOND 9 X when combined.

Nothing to do with a picture or writing something cute and funny in a profile, not even writing a clever challenging email either..........


Anyways just thought you should know there are a few other FREE dating sites besides POF......and to not fall for this tactic to spend more money.

Lets not go off on another thread about social net working sites or thats why online dating blows flames.
 

"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.

Have any of you guys had much luck with that site anyway? Spur of the moment I made a profile, but I quickly decided to abandon it. It seems like most attractive women don't need to go online to meet guys, and guys seem to start off at an extreme disadvantage. Is it even worth trying out?

The only decent thing I've tried, where I've actually met attractive women in person (and a few of them, at that)... is posting in personal sections of trade websites. Free to use, the girl responds to your ad, which goes to your email inbox (hotmail, isp email, whatever). You take it from there. Given the girls are responding to YOUR ad, they are not receiving 1000 emails from dorks whose best pick up line is "wanna fk tonight honey?". I leave an ad on Gumtree and update it once every couple of months or so to bump it back to the top of the page.

Whenever I see that gold circle in a woman's profile it looks more like "I'm desperate" rather than serious member. There's no way I would ever pay to be on that site.

"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.

Haha wow, that site is already crappy (for me). Why in the world would you PAY for something that was already crappy for free?

The thing is I'm seeing enough girls paying as well, and these aren't like ugly chicks either. What do you guys make of that?

They aren't paying. They are either gay men pretending to be women or the women are having men pay for their account.

Right now they're giving out free trials to the upgrade to random members. I had the opportunity to upgrade to serious member for a 1 year free trial, but declined.

I don't mean anything in a bad way, it just seems like a typical sosuave.net thing to assume women get EVERYTHING handed to them on a silver platter, like a guy paying for "their" "girlfriend's" dating site account.

Do guys really pay for womens' accounts on a dating website or is that the typical sosuave.net zealot speak...?

That sounds ridiculous.

Sure, but those stars you see on women's profile were given to them for free, since women don't need to pay to get attention. The "upgrated" women at random, to create the illusion that women are paying for this. That is why you see a lot more women with "Serious Member" profiles than men.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

After learning about how shady most internet dating sites are. i get real suspicious about sites where you have to pay

I tries it last year. i paid for about a month to contact "gold members" who i never heard from, ever.

I think the whole thing's a scam

stick to myspace if you really want to do the internet things. I've had tons of success with that
