MalachXaviel Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 You're biggest hurdle with using sites like that is the heavy inflation c#^! blockers. The girls that you message a lot of the time won't even be looking at your profile because they're so busy sifting through all the messages from guys sending stupid face-book type crap and others just outright asking for sex. You ever heard of Game Theory? Same concept here. You have hundreds of thousands of idiots polluting the water with every cheezy one-liner they can find to get an edge over the other idiots. It not only makes thing more difficult for you, but it makes it harder for the women as well. Some sites try to control this by doing compatibility tests, but unless they restrict access to incompatible matches, it won't help you. If you go to a pay site, it'll filter out some of the douche-bags so that women are more comfortable responding to messages. If you REALLY gotta stick with the freebies though, get some good photos (smile) and use interesting greetings to grab attention. Once you've got it, try to steer things away from the website as quickly as possible using another medium, I recommend Skype or IM if you're not comfortable giving out cell info.
