Junk and Sugar

A great tool that most good online dating sites have that men can use to attract women right now is; the “Online Now” search option.

Women who are online right now tend to respond to email that they receive while they are on the dating site.

Of course, all the rules of online dating for men pretty much stay the same.

The only thing that changes is usually your response rate time.

The first thing you are going to want to do is come up with an interesting enough email to make her want to respond.

Your first email is the most important because if she doesn’t respond to it the game is over.

Once she has responded to your email this is your chance to be bold and suggest the two of you meet for coffee right now or you can hold off and suggest another time and date and at the same time ask for her phone number.

Her next response must be moving towards a meeting, if it in anyway is only moving towards another email the game is over.

However, if she has given you her phone number only call when you have a specific thin in mind for you two.

Even though, you have eliminated the serial online daters the serial phone daters still exist as well as the “stand him uppers”.

To limit these types of women from having an effect on you it is important that you call her knowing what it is you want to do (where to meet) and that the time is one at which you aren’t missing out on anything important or would want to do.

In the end, the “Online Now” search option is an effective tool for men o use o meet women online, if used correctly. Read the rest of this entry »

When you first visit the online dating site True the one thing that you’ll notice that sets them apart form all of the other “matchmaker” dating sites online is their concern for your safety.

They let you know that they run your name against a criminal database on all of their members and actively prosecute any person who “attempts” to commit adultery or any other criminal acts.

As a man, this really doesn’t help or hurt your chances at attracting a woman on True.com unless you have a felony or a serious misdemeanor.

However, as many of you already realize True does this to attract more women on their site since it is pretty much a given that men will come in droves to any site that has or has the potential of having women interested in men.

Of course, the type of women by a large majority that a dating site online will attract with their main marketing gimmicks are safety and background checks are women who are overly cautious or who have already been involved with a man with whom a background check would have been best before she got involved.

In other words, as a man you can expect to deal with more women wanting you to jump through unnecessary hips to meet and a greater chance of the women you do meet having a man in their recent past who you should be concerned with.

In the end, the matchmaking site True.com may or may not have more women online than your average dating site.

However, when signing up for a site like this, you need to make sure you have a system for success with women online already in place as well as being aware of any signs she may give you in regards to men in her past. Read the rest of this entry »

In response to a previous article I wrote entitled ‘The 5 Types of Losers on the Internet’, a few people asked me what I thought were some of the types of women to avoid online. So here, in my opinion, are the warning signs on a profile of a woman you should avoid. Keep these in mind when you’re out there surfing MySpace and trying your best hand at online dating.

5. The Bedroom Model

This woman posts what looks like a professional modeling picture on her profile, yet on further examination you quickly realize it’s a carefully Photoshopped picture of her in her bedroom. This woman claims she is a professional model, yet has no photos of herself anywhere outside of her profile. This woman is usually mildly attractive but gets herself overrated by about 3 points through seductive posing. Unless you want to be disappointed, don’t bother with these women. Sure, her profile picture looks like Jessica Simpson, but when you meet her in person she’s closer to Homer. Watch those Photoshop artists!

4. The Woman’s Picture is Only of One Feature of Her Body (I.E. her breasts, buttocks, or a tattoo)

This woman is generally fat and has no saving grace other than the little sliver of her body she’s determined to sell to the public. You’ll never see a full body picture of these types of women either, because she can’t fit her whole body in the lens unless the picture taken from an extreme angle. No, she’s not doing those fisheye lens effects because she likes them; she’s doing it because she’s a sumo wrestler.

3. Women Who Take Photos with a “Male Best Friend”

We’ve all seen this one. This woman is generally very attractive, and you would hit on her if you knew whether she was single or not. Well she is single, but her “best friend” has first dibs if he can ever convince her he’s not gay. Read the rest of this entry »
