"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.

Social Experiment 101: Internet Dating Ad

"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.

Both profiles should have the same pic of the avearage looking guy. Then compare the results.
Online dating success is largly based on looks...it seems like it almost doesn't matter what you write. I know this from a 3 year experience...:(

Actually, I think the second will work better. The first seems like trying too hard. I'll post you a translation of my last profile, I'm sure you'll get the idea:

I date girls who look good, have confidence and sense of humour (they'll need the last two around me). I'm most anoyed at the ones who take themselves too seriously, get attached too strong, or have some other kind of emotional problems. Oops, I forgot - I was supposed to advertise myself, not describe preferences, or I will lose a potential catch. Well, I'm dumm, unattractive, boring, lazy, no sense of humour whatsoever, I like (the name of an annoying TV show celebrity here) ... uugh... this went too far.

I'd just like to post a coment that the girl i'm going out with currently is 1 i found on an internet dating site. Shes not bad looking and prob one of the best and most fun girls i've been ut with. My point of veiw is if your going to use it that the key is to search their profiles rather than relying on yours to pull them in. Ofton they don't even read yours. A bit like sarging for the net.
 

"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.

I was getting success with those kind of profiles almost 10 years ago (yeah I'm old.)

It's an interesting story about how I stumbled onto having an "aszhole profile".

I was a noob on a dating message board back in about 95'-96', and *several* women sent me private messages saying how much my online profile sucked. One of the chicks was really mean about it, and I replied with something like "ok, I'll redo my profile just for you", and proceded to type the most arrogant, belligerent profile I could come up with.

But instead of replying to her private message, I somehow posted it to the entire board. At first I was really embarassed. But a funny thing happened. My new "profile" got about 100 responses just the first day.

There was still a lot I had to learn about online dating, and just women in general (where the hell was sosuave back then when I needed it?), but let me tell ya, it's pretty easy to learn the ropes with the kind of responses I was getting from my arrogant jerk profiles!

Did you guys take a look at all of her pictures? She says that she's athletic and toned, NUH-UH!!!! Giving her anything above a four would be gracious.
