Women Online!
A guide for men.
Ah,
internet personals. So many women... so few responses.
Disappointing, isn't it? Well, pay attention, because
I'm going to tell you how to improve your chances.
For
starters, don't expect the women to come beating down
your door. By some estimates, there's about 8 men to
every woman placing personal ads online. And all those
women are getting hammered with ad responses from men.
Ugh. Now you're really disappointed, huh? Don't be.
Most of the responses women get are dead boring.
Hi.
My name is Bob. I liked your ad. Write me.
And
that's one of the better ones. Something like this is
more likely:
hi
i m bob i liked u r add right me
You
can do better than that, can't you? Good.
So,
what do us women want to hear? The truth. Plain and
simple. We want to know enough about you to tell whether
or not you'd be someone we want to know better.
We
need more than just your vital stats. There's no way
of knowing if we'd like a guy based on his age, height,
weight, and hair color. What makes you different from
other guys? Describe it. Do you have a great sense of
humor? Don't just say so, show it. Talk about your hobbies,
interests, and what makes you tick.
Don't
brag, though. There's nothing that screams, "I'm
overcompensating!" quite like a guy who needs to
blow his own horn about his sports car, great job, boat,
etc. The only kind of woman you'll attract with that
angle is a golddigger.
If
you're thinking we want romance and wooing... stop.
We get so much of that "I like snuggling by the
fire, moonlit walks and candlelit dinners" crap
that we're ready to barf. We know it's just a line,
and even if you really do like that sort of thing, there's
plenty of time after we've met to show what a sweet
guy you are.
Be
sure to mention something she talks about in her ad.
Let her know you read it and are interested in getting
to know HER, not just interested in getting to know
ANYONE. No one expects to be the only woman you're interested
in, but at least make her feel like there's something
you find appealing about her, and not that you're writing
to virtually every woman within a 100 mile radius.
And
one huge thing to avoid is ... SEX. I know you want
it. We want it too. But we don't want to feel like a
hunk of meat.We don't need to know your fetishes, preferences,
length, girth and how long you'll last before we even
know your eye color. Really. Unless, of course, you're
on one of the adults only sites that encourage that
sort of thing. But if you're not, and if the woman's
ad doesn't mention sex and is on a regular dating site...
just don't mention it, 'kay?
