Guys Who are Successful in Online Dating (women, attractive, partner)

[RideLightning]

Can u explain what u do? What is your profile like? What are your pics like? What kind of messages do u send? Are you able to date women who are attractive and in decent shape?

The overwhelming majority of men seem to comment that they can't get anywhere with OLD. What are the guys who are successful doing differently?

They use "you" instead of "u." At least, the gentlemen who have been successful with me.

That's easy. Just be good looking and have a good job that pays very well. Simple enough.

I'm not bad looking at all and I make what I would consider great money for my age but I don't look that great in pictures compared to real life and I think advertising your income is tacky as hell


am I off base here?

Hey what's up?

I'd consider myself pretty successful both online and offline.

For my profile, I keep it short and simple. I write what I'm doing in life, and what i enjoy doing. Try to make yourself sound fun and ambitious. Put up a few pictures of you that make you look how you look on a good day. My profile has about.. oh 5 or 6 lines?

When you write a message, read the girl's profile. Say hi, make one comment about hers, make a comment about you have something in common and say something about yourself. A message should be about 3 sentences.

Unnecessary information is useless, it's like writing any type of scientific report. Cover what you need to cover without the frills.

Do you use a lot of humor in your writing? That's one thing that really stumps me. I'm not necessarily an entertaining writer (although I think I'm a fluent writer and I am well spoken) so my profile may come off as bland and generic to a lot of women


What would you say is your success rate as far as getting a response and then maybe a date?


Is advertising your income tacky as hell or is that just me?

I tell a lot of jokes, but I usually save my jokes for a message or two in.. unless there's something I can really make a joke on... typically I save it for a few messages in.

There's no need for these gimmicks or writing some entertaining first message. It doesn't take anything more than I told you in my first post. Basically you have to show some sort of connection between the two of you, and make sure you ask her a question to get her to respond to it. You have a nice short concise profile that covers your basic information so she can read through it quickly and then message you and have things to ask you.

I have quite a high response rate and I get dates pretty easily. Basically, if I feel like going out with someone and I feel like looking online, I can get a date (from someone I find attractive) pretty easily.

Advertising your income is ridiculous. Do not do that unless you want to look like a tool. You're free to say your job, that's no big deal.. but don't go any further than that.

Contrary to what these idiots on here want to say about your income.. women are more interested in you. Say your job, but focus more on your interests.

What matters in online dating in order of importance.

1. Your looks/pictures (make sure you put up good pictures)
2. How picky you are in your partner's looks
3. Your location
4. Luck
5. What you write in your message.

Note that the content of your profile does not make the top 5.

I messed around with online dating a few years back for a little while and got absolutely no responses even though I think I followed everything you said. My pictures looked pretty good too I think


What I was doing wrong? If you can get good results with a standard profile and standard pictures, why do you think your success rate is so much higher than many guys who claim that they can't get any responses at all?
