SJC2008 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Figured I'd post my latetest stats since OLD it's a constant topic here, plus I'm bored lol! Signed up about 6 weeks ago on OKC after realizing you have to be rich, hot and a comedian on "hatch.com". Round 1: No dates, Got two numbers, one was a "looking for friends", the other was impossible to get ahold of. Round 2: Got 2 dates and got what I call "one dated quitted" by both. This round: I'm 4/11 on this on emails, 2 flaked and did not respond to my follow ups and have gotten numbers from the other 2. Yeah there are still flakes but for some reason the women seem more down to earth and not afraid to go out on a date with someone they met online. The only date I got on the other site was with a Chinese woman who hardly spoke English lol!, you'd think it would be the other way around on a paid site.
phineas Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 rich, hot and a comedian on "hatch.com" You forgot Tall & willing to have children with a 40+ woman. LOL! only been on for two weeks though. bought 3 months. What is your turn around time? I've had two women I emailed my first week just get back to me. I assume their emailing other guys & just getting to me because one fizzled out.
EnigmaticClarity Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Signed up about 6 weeks ago on OKC after realizing you have to be rich, hot and a comedian on "hatch.com". I'm not rich, hot, nor a comedian, although I'm stable, not unattractive, and have a decent sense of humor, and I've gotten all my best response from that site. I like OKC's user interface and features a lot better, but it just doesn't have enough people actively using it like hatch does.
Author SJC2008 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 lol. My turnaround time is usually the next day or two days later. Some will reply the same day. Of the two numbers I recently got, one replied the same day and I got her number the same day, we're going out tonight! I wouln't bother with a woman who replies after 3 days but that's just me, I'm not trying to play your hand for you. There is really no magic formula when it comes to messaging I've found. I say Hey I'm xxxxx, I liked your profile and you seem like an interesting person and I'd like to learn more about you. Check out my profile and if you want and if you would like to chat sometime drop me a hello and I'll message you back. Take care, xxxxx. And yes some of the women online will call that a "bulK" or "copy and paste" message lol but I don't give a you know what and do you know why? Because a down to earth woman, who takes a dating site for what it is, will see it as an ice breaker. Good luck man.
Author SJC2008 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 @EnigmaticClarity. It probably depends on the area. I live in houston and 98% of the woman on hatch are mid 20's-early 30's "professinals" who have a degree and are looking for the same so I'm already at a disadvantage being that I just turned 30 and don't have a degree (but will next year!). Im honest in my profile I make about $25k a year and am a student. Of the two women I just got #'s from one is 31 and has a degree. The other, is 25 and doesn't. After the initial emails I told both of them about my living situation (that I moved to my mothers house a few montsh ago and aren't planning on moving out unitl the summer) and they were fine with that. I can almost guarentee that would not be the case on hatch. But like I said I guess it depends on the demographic.
Saxis Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 My last shot at OLD on OKC resulted in 100% success. Re-joined after a couple month break, rewrote a new profile with new pictures. Sent one message, she replied, we started dating and now exclusive for 2 months. Things moved quickly, but we've attributed it to being the most comfortable relationship either of us has ever been in. If you'd have asked me about OLD a few months ago, I probably would've told you it is a complete waste of time. I guess sometimes you just get lucky!
