"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.

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.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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.

"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.

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.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
 

"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.

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
