Why do i find it so hard to get girls to reply to me on this website?

Im not a bad looking guy and my pics are not bad, i make my messages relevant to the girls profiles, and still no one fucking replies, very frustrating, any of you guys have better luck on that shitty website?

Haha I just signed up to match.com the other day. I have to say that there isn't a whole lot of choice on there.

Basiclly, if you're profile and photos have enough DHV then you should be set and you should get a few women messaging you. But you will be making the first move alot of the time. Your first message should be 1 or 2 paragraphs and all the usuals apply: humour, confidence and interesting conversation.

You should try and get them on the phone as soon as possible. Probably after a few IOIs. Maybe 2 messages from you should be enough. Use the phone to DHV a little more then secure a date. DON'T talk about online dating over the phone.

This "online game" has it's advantages. It's easier and cheaper to name a couple. I haven't found it to be all that fun though. :\

Rules for online messaging.

Make it funny, relevant and/or interesting. In that order. If you say something that amuses them you're likely to get a reply purely because they want to laugh some more.

Make sure your profile is well written, if it's not you're going to get a lot of looks at your profile without replies.

Limit searches to people online in the last 24 hours, if they're not using the site they're not worth wasting your time with.

I am not an aggressive flirt. This probably goes without saying but well-behaved men do better in online dating than aggressive flirts. The number one algorithm girls' brains are running is "creep detection". Creep her out once, in the slightest, game is over. My modus operandi was to take a genuine interest in her and befriend her. Some people you will be able to convert quickly, many you will NOT. Learn to judge which people you can escalate to phone quickly and which you can't, don't just ruin things with the people you can't, they just take a little longer to decide that you're not an internet weirdo who wants to rape them.

Pof searches show the first few lines of the description. You can use this to grab attention, I used to use:
A BIG hello to all that see this description... For Sale.. Rent or Hire, 1 MAN. Good condition for year. Good runner, but only when being chased!. Very good with children and animals, Blessed with charm , honesty and integrity. Can cook, clean, wash up.

Alternatively to all of the above, you could just use it for a laugh as it can be relatively entertaining:

In fact, I get messaged allot more than I message random chicks.

Most these chicks are messaging me telling me they love my profile. I guess it's pretty witty and upfront, comes across confident. They seem to buzz of it as it's not just your normal "i like movies and going gym" bullshit. So I have about eight different new girls pm me when I log in (I probably check it three times a week)

So far, I have it winded it down to two girls. They seem keen, but I dunno man, relationship hunters galore. I'll keep you posted.

Also, I refuse to shower these chicks with compliments. In fact, I haven't complimented ANY of them on their looks once (tho they are fucking fit). Because every other dick on there will be sending them messages about how awesome they are inflating their ego more.

I actually saw this one profile, AMAZING looking girl. However, she hadn't wrote anything. This fucking pissed me off no end. She basically expected dudes to message her off her looks alone and couldn't even be arsed to write a quick summary about herself. So I basically sent her a message telling her I thought she was obnoxious, preening bitch trolling chode men. She then told me "I had a bad attitude". I just told her again what I thought about her, then told her to "go cry to her fan club". However, this girl then continued to message me multiple times - she then apologizes - asking questions about myself. Then even tells me when she has written her little bio. Seeking my approval. She obviously just had a load of dudes sending pictures of their cocks. Of course, I've already made mind up about her so just set her on "ignore". Still, interesting.

So basically. 99.99% of the guys on there are total and utter losers. They haven't a fucking clue by the sounds of things. Bare that in mind.

Example message I got from Yesterday:

I dont know why am on here by the way its full of whack jobs or people who think they have a right to comment on how I look and I should be ever so grateful for their bullshit... thats not aimed at you by the way your the only person who has had some interesting conversation shame you live so far away

Xx"

OMG, Jaz gone online.

I'm not out half as much as I used to be, might be tempted to take the facebook knowledge to this site. Sounds like plenty of fun.

Where did plenty of fish come from, last time I looked at Internet dating was back in my AFC days? Back then it was all paid sites like my sad friend.com.

chillem · 27-05-2011, 01:14 PM

About the only thing I know of that site is that a mate of mine was on it and he fucked two chicks from there and they both turned out to be fucking mental headcases! Of course that may say more about my mate than the site. He wants me to go to an organised plentyoffish party with him! Guess it could be educational??

Darood · 27-05-2011, 02:17 PM

Last proper girl friend I had was telling me how she had met a few guys off plenty of fish. I kept telling her how lame that was, what's wrong with going after someone you like in real life with dignity and confidence?

I'd feel a hypocrite if I went on there now

Refl3x · 27-05-2011, 02:29 PM

im not on there now, long as youve got some decent pics up its usually pretty easy to rack up some shags on there and laughs.
I quite enjoyed mailing shit loads of local online chicks on fri and sat nights when ive come back from a night out - ive lined up some nice last minute shags with girls that way to round the night off.
Think in total ive fucked a good 50+ girls off there in the past

OK firstly ditch the photos with the pissed/ugly cunt cuddling up to you - its just all kinds of wrong.

Quote:

Hi there, thanks first of all for taking the time to look at my profile,

No no no, here your assuming zero value, never every thank anyone for their time, you are the man - they should be thanking you.

Quote:

Not sure where to start really,

Right so now your a zero value guy who who cant even write one paragraph of text without being wracked by indecision and doubt.

Quote:

Im a bit of an old fashioned romantic, the type that makes the lady in his life made to feel very special

Lets add supplicative to the list of unattractive features so far conveyed.

Quote:

equally as happy at home with a good bottle of wine, a nice cuddle, and a dvd.

The most overused cliche in dating site history.

Quote:

I also enjoy travelling just come back now from argentina and brazil after a month of exploring,

Careful, you almost conveyed some interest and passion.

Quote:

would really like someone special to share the great experience of travelling with,

No, this is what you say: "is their anyone brave enough out there to come with me next time ?".

Quote:

All my friends say ...

Whose the fuckin man here - you or them ?.

Quote:

im really easy to be with, a gentleman with a very funny side, caring and ,

Noone gives a shit - especially a hot woman.

Quote:

loyal

i.e. desperate, living in shortage rather than abundance.

Quote:

if you would like to know anymore

"if" - WTF do you mean "if" ?? . Self doubt.

Quote:

then please

Get some begging in.

Quote:

drop me a message,

No shit sherlock,

Quote:

love to hear from you

And lets end with a bit of desperation.

Quote:

happy fishing xx

Lets cap it all off by assuming failure and saying goodbye.

Instead try "Give yourself a minute to recover from reading my awesome, inspiring and lets be honest, pretty sexy profile, then hit the message button - but make it a good one" .
