Having success meeting girls off the net

[lartinos]

I'm meeting double the amount of woman...... Good stuff
And these girls off these normal dating sites are freaks too.
They talk all about wanting a life partner and bullshit like that until you hang out with them all that shit ends after a few drinks. Only thing that scares me is that pictures are not always accurate.

You gotta pre-screen them before you meet them. Some will still lie or at the very least shade the truth. But the blatant psycho liars are fairly easy to weed out.

I agree...i'm a fan.

Lots of girls you could never interact with a normal basis maybe because they don't go out or work alot etc. Far as the photo thing it goes both ways...i've met a couple of girls that put up photos of them that made them look like a 7 but were really 9's and they did it intentionally. of course both girls were pretty smart

Yeah there's a good share of freaks who present themselves a certain way. You can get a feel for them if you chat on AIM and then on the phone for a bit before meeting them. not a hard concept

the only thing is the few really attractive girls on these dating sites get bombarded and sometimes you have to be really original to elicit a response because they're just constantly deleting e-mails. If i had a chance 1 on 1 to interact with some of the girls in real life the feedback would be alot better.
that initial email response is the hardest but from there its pretty smooth sailing and you get past that whole wall.

^^ very true about the bombardment issue, and that doesn't mean that more emails are more quality emails necessarily.

If you can't find a way to get that girl's attention right off then chances are you aren't going to get along. Just my theory but it seemed to have worked out over the years.

that's not true at all.....

the concept of getting a girls attention is to break down her social persona/wall which most people have.
once the defenses go down you can interact on a more real and personal level.

on a dating site e-mails can be interpreted in so many different ways than real life communication as text is the only barometer. the responses are often contrived no matter how you slice it.

So is it essential to intiate the interaction? Yes, but it doesn't mean you wouldn't get along. on that level you're strictly "persona" to "persona"

OK I get your point but I wasn't necessarily talking about an "angle" but more about putting more of yourself out there in a way that captures her attention. It isn't uncommon for an attractive woman to get as many as 50 emails a day. After awhile she does realize that many good guys will have most likely slipped through the cracks but at the end of the day she can only read so many emails/profiles without feeling sensory overload.

Either way, if a couple clicks, then they will meet. If not then there are so many others which I believe to be one of the advantages of dating online... much, much, much larger pool.
