"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around 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.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.

"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.

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.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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.
 

"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.

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
