I don't do online dating.

My point is that it shouldn't matter to YOU who else is checking me out. If you want to ask me out, you ask me out. Stop worrying about the other guys.

Chances are she is taken though or she will just tell me to f**k off.

Do women often tell you to f**k off when you ask them out?

WTH?

Then she's not the one for you and nothing you do is going to change that.

This is why Online Dating is so discouraging. It may SEEM like hundreds of guys are messaging the same women you are. But bear in mind that 98% of those 100 guys are sending her completely inappropriate messages, or simply aren't making any effort at all, and send messages saying "S'up?" So if you write a thoughtful message, you'll stand out. She still may decide you're not her type, but in some ways, it's easier for men to compete on OLD.

Yes, I know about the sexual messages they send them which fill up their folders so mine could get lost in the cracks somewhere.

Majority of them are one liners. Maybe I should write a thoughtful paragraph and send them in bunches but it could be vague.

compete an OLD?

But believe it or not. I've had lot of success in the online dating world. I have rejected a few meetings because I had other priorities.

It depends on the kind of woman you contact I think.

There might be women who can appreciate well thought out messages with good sentence structure and proper grammar. I can tell you that I've sent out several messages that were thoughtful and well-written, and every single one of them went either unread, unnoticed, or I would get a reply, but it read as though they were in a drunken stupor.

You're better off sending short messages because if you send anymore than a few sentence you're probably wasting your time.

Forget bars and nightclubs. Get involved in daytime activities where you can meet women and get to know them over time, and they can get to know you over time, and observe your good qualities. In a bar or nightclub, they know nothing about you. Naturally they're going to judge you on superficial qualities. Get out of that type of environment and into an environment that allows people to get to know you on a deeper level.
