"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.

Social Experiment 101: Internet Dating Ad

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

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.
