Online game help
Fri, 08/24/2012 - 19:56
First off, long time lurker, first time poster. I know Manwhore is great at online and text game as well as the veterans on here who have learned from him. Apologies if this gets a little lengthy.
Basically my issue has been two fold with POF and OKC. I'm getting about a 10-20% response rate on both sites. Which is whatever, but the biggest problem is when I get a return message I can't get a 2nd message. Or if I do, I can't # close these girls (2nd part of the problem). I don't use a generic return message (message after she responds to my generic opener) so I don't know if it's that. I have heard I might be getting responses from girls that are "half interested" and then my 2nd message doesn't have enough to draw them in. Not sure. As far as the #'s I've tried tactics on here, elsewhere, and my own and I just can't seem to do it. No responses after asking for their # or giving mine to them. And no texts from them either obviously. Part of the problem MIGHT be the fact that I'm 21 and most of the girls that come up in my matches are 18-21, which means often they don't know what they want and they're flighty. I really am at a loss after trying several different tactics, hence coming here.
Some additional info if anyone cares: I've been improving the profiles and pictures to the best of my ability though admittedly they could use more work. I live in Milwaukee.

Re: Online game help
Mang you need to at least post up some conversations so we can look at these things. You can post up a bit.ly link to your profile too if you want and some of the guys on here will give you some critiques.

Re: Online game help
Example of fizzle outs:
Me: Hey :) Great smile. I'm Jon.
By the way, Skip Bayless is definitely a douche.
Her: I'm so tired I don't even know what to say other than you sound awesome! Anddddd indeed he is, the face he makes sometimes make me wanna knock his lights out.
Me: Haha I have to admit you do too!
Yeah honestly he is such a tool. Although having Stephen A arguing with him basically makes it the male "the view"
Me: Hey :) Nice smile. I'm Jon.
Her:I'm HB (: you look familiar
Me: Hey HB, it's certainly possible. What's keeping you up so late?
(Next morning)Her: I couldn't sleep haha
Me: Yeah that sucks. School started for me today so I had a rather unpleasant morning
----------------------------------------------------------
Going for a number/giving mine:
Me: I play guitar and sing! We could be like of monsters and men (a band) or something :)
But anyways volunteering your time is really awesome. Do you live with your grandmother?
Hope to hear from you! -Jon
Her: I'm almost fully moved in! c:
Me: That's awesome. (story about my grandmother) What's going on with your g-ma if you don't mind me asking?
Her: D: I'm so sorry to hear that.
(story about her g-ma)
Anyway, my one uncle recently passed, and it'd be easier on everyone if I moved in with her to help take care of her. You know; mow the lawn, do her shopping, take her to the doctor, etc.
Me: Wow, that's incredibly self-less of you.
So do you enjoy what you do? Like your job and schooling and such?
Her: I absolutely LOVE going to school. My job...mehh, I like the people I work with, but not so much where I work. Haha.
Me: Haha agreed. I work at a mental health clinic so I never know what to expect. Plus the doctors are all pompous which frustrates me. I just switched majors so I'm hoping I'll start enjoying school again. Was in real estate and it just was not for me.
Have you just always enjoyed (her major)?
Her: Yes. I think it's my calling in life..as it's one of the only things I would want to do for the rest of it.
Why were you in real estate?
Me: Basically just confused about what I really wanted. Kind of rushed into a major just to say I was going to school and I could have a normal job that my parents would like. Blech...
But hey you seem really cool. :) I'm getting off here, we should keep talking. Shoot me a text (my number)
Me(right after but in a second message): Or... you could just give me yours. That way I'm not worrying about checking on here. Besides, I'm enjoying talking to you
Me: Love your openness about sex and such. Takes a lot of courage to post that stuff for some people :)
Her: thank you :)
Me:Yeah. I just wrote the most craziest awesomest song ever. Actually it sucks but whatever
Give me a taste of what you're all about
Her: can I hear it
Me: I only play in person ;) I'm getting off though text me (my number)
Stuff with parenthesis added by me right now obviously. If anyone wants to critique my profiles I'd be happy to post them. I guess I'll see what you guys think about this first. I do have other examples as well but this is getting long.
