I haven't read this thread, did KWAW ever get it put in?

Thanks! Ima do it! I'll report back I my failures :-)

I have profiles I check every so often and update pictures just for giggles. Yikes at most who I come across.

This thing popped up on my Watchlist for some reason, so here is the update. I've queued up some womens and now it's time to start blasting out messages. I'm nervous, but **** it

Don't be surprised or discouraged if only the chunky ones respond.

Just be honest in your intentions. If you're a woman, regardless of what you'll say, you'll get awful messages asking to buy you for sex. If you're there for casual, say it. If serious, say that. Weeds out people quickly... yet they still lie.

This is marketing 101. Differentiate. Everyone says they love to travel but say it in a unique way and you get more on the hook.

Use updated photos. Can't tell you how many were plus 50 pounds or more, new hair color, etc. Im not superficial but be honest! Those photos are 4 years old? Now I don't trust you nor believe you have positive self esteem.

As a man, the least time consuming apps are bumble and tinder by a mile. Swiping is 1000000 faster than reading a book on match.

Match is great but so time consuming as you don't know who is interested. Women on there are typically lazy and wait for the 30 daily messages to weed out everyone. Women I've dated on here told me it's all about catching them when they use the site.

Also, etiquette is beyond pathetic, and I'm shocked by the women. The endless pool leaves everyone to believe someone better is a click away. Just tell someone you're interesred or you're not. Really simple.

Solid advice here.

I will add, have a variety of photos- not just MySpace angled selfies.

Good advice man. I did use my current pics, which I don't like, but it is where I'm at. I'll look into a faster app because I really don't want to decipher a bunch of info, nor try and "talk myself up".

Solid advice.

You need message at least 10 girls a day to have any shot at finding anyone soon. Dating is a numbers game, but more so with online dating. Just pick out something you read in their profile to comment on and add a little humor with one to two sentences and move on to the next. That strategy seemed to get the best results for me. Women get hammered with messages and don't have time to read essays, but they also don't like seeing 1-2 word messages or see that you haven't read their profile.

I bet I swiped left / right 1k times, I gotta start messaging too. This **** is hard work!

i would message you HC!

I message people but I never get a reply. I know I'm not that good looking but damn.

have you messaged haircut?

Hi Kate Beckett! I see you attended Texas A&M and majored in EE. You must be really smart and nerdy! How about a steak one night, at Waffle House discussing the hilariousness of Kirchhoffs Current Laws!

We can practice messaging here on the GB.

WTF is going on in here?

I think we're about to run hypothetical online dating scenarios and practice talking to members of the opposite, or same sex.

Hey Kitten, this is your thread from last August. Did you go through with the online dating process and have any luck?

If you're still single, I suppose we could both skip the online sites and just settle for each other.

---

I haven't gone through with it, but I may try it at some point. Dating just isn't in my foreseeable future. Maybe we can be each others backup plan!

Oh, ok. Sign me up then

I'd buy KWOW lunch at the Chicken sometime

Being in the backup plan is better than being in no plan at all! It's a deal and so far I get many more bites fishing, but I'll give this online thing some more time.
