should there be a template as far as e-mailing the chick goes???

what should one say about themself in the profile??

have I mentioned I don't think I've ever gone on a real date? (and, yes, I was engaged... lol... we kinda skipped the dating part and went right into the super-serious relationship part)
Lots of advice early on in the thread, Larry. Check out the first few pages. Don't be too form letter with your initial emails. They can tell when you've just sent the same thing out a few dozen times.I understand where you were coming from. Just out of college, I'd never really "dated" since college was all about the hookup rather than the formal asking out on a date. You'll pick it up.
:shrug:
Different paths but the same result.
true :shrug: I guess I hooked up a ton, it was just with the same chick every time...

 
Something like, "Of course, I spend my time forced to defend axe murderers and stalkers. I'm sure you've met some of my clients through this site." would have gone off much better.
You're not helping.
Sure I am. That's money. It's lighthearted and women on those sites have definitely met their share of crazies. You are acknowleding that fact and by doing so, you are giving her some comfort that you are not one of them. Also, the word "forced" tells them that you aren't defending people like that because you want to.
That's not money. Don't mention axe murderers or stalkers. If you want to banter about stuff like that, at least let them bring it up. Good god, this is basic stuff.
 
4. Slim and skinny are good. Athletic is mostly good. Average is sketchy territory as a woman's definition of average can vary wildly. Don't write it off entirely, but be wary.
ummm...what if those aren't accurate descriptions of you??? lolI mean... if I say slim or athletic or, really, even average... I'd be lying... should I lie? Won't they be pissed?

You're just plain wrong. I was very successful i-dating and would regularly break out a little axe-murderer or stalker shtick because I knew they were running into those wackos all the time. Pedophiles is a different matter altogether.

I was talking about the wimmenz, not yourself. You should be honest.

Choose the "sloppy" option.

knowing me... should I check out eharmony?

or should I try out plentyoffish, get osme actual dates under my belt first, and then think about that?

Wow. I've been on there a few days now and have only contacted seven or eight. I like the "who's viewed me" thing. Seems like if she looked at your profile (especially if you hadn't looked at hers first) chances of a her being responsive to your email are very high.

sorry Pickles, Drifter is right. What he said would of been :thumbdown: Any girl who cant see what he said as a joke, I would have no desire to meet anyway. Woz was wrong with the pedophile thing because its really creepy. Too many people have dealt either themselves or know someone affected by a pedophile. Not many people have been affected by an axe murderer and talking about an "axe murderer" is more of a joke. Take for instance the bud light commercial during the super bowl. The showed a scary looking guy with an axe, but they picked him up cause he had a case of bud light. I dont think they would show someone molesting someone but pick him up cause he had bud light. Those two people are seen in complete different lights. As for stalkers, many people on those sites post stuff saying "if i dont respond, dont keep emailing me like a stalker" or somthing of that sort. So, it defintiely fits as a joke there.Drifter, that was money...edited to switch name from Otis to Woz...guess i just had in my head that every dating post on here revolved around otis...

Larry Boy has quickly breathed life into this thread. I'm sure Larry will be infinately more interesting to follow than the likes of Woz.

I agree with Krista now. I used to give Woz the benefit of doubt, but now either he is very dedicated to his ####ck or he is a closest Emo kid and wholey depressing.

Don't you have some weird rules, like she can't wear makeup or pants or somesuch?
:wall: I don't go there anymore...I actually haven't gone to church in like 4 months...I keep meaning to check out some new spots, but just haven't gotten around to it, yet...
 
btw if you want to dabble in intimate encounters you need to create a separate profile otherwise you will get blocked by like 50% of the chicks on that site.

 
omg I need to create a new profile already, I had two windows open, a firefox window and an IE window - I was using one for dating and one for intimate encounters and I accidentally sent an intimate encounter from my dating account, lmao. I wouldn't trust a site like this for intimate encounters - since it is free you probably get a TON of spammers using it.

 
ok... 9 girls to message...

now I just need to get pics taken and not sound like an idiot to my family (gonna talk to my sister)... and then profile-making I go...

lol

NYC = lots more talent then where you live (not trying to be conceited)NYC also = a helluva lot more competition, so you need more "hooks in the water" to steal line from keysMost of my messages have gone unread, I assume that means they have not logged on yet

Stu lives in Dallas. Depending on what kind of girls you like, I'd suggest that the talent is every bit as good there.

I agree NYC must have more volume than Dallas, just makes sense. Although Dallas isn't exactly Duluth either...I didn't mean to imply that 17 was too many. I'm just always surprised at how quick some of you can crank them out. I need to improve there.Just sent #8. Of the 7 previous, got replies on 5. So much better than yahoo. Not surprised on the other two... both young and very hot with no "baggage". Neither have deleted yet though.

Hmmm...you're right. I guess I just assumed he was trying to make some bigger statement than "NY has a larger population." Maybe not, though. :lmao:

I got a buddy then went out to Austin, not sure if Austin and Dallas are worlds apart or not but he was very unimpressed with the quality in Dallas, granted this guy has very high standards (higher then woz) and NYC definitely has the volume of single women so if you look in the right spots you will find the quality assuming you are "hot enough" to lure it in.
 
how high a standard does Woz have? I read to like page 6... is it really that bad?? lol

I keep seeing people refer to it and I'm shuked... :bag:

I have no complaints about the talent level here. Boatloads who are hot enough to be out of my league. :shrug: Beyond that does it really matter?I've only done the tourist stuff in NYC, so I really can't say how it compares.Edit: I'm confused on whether your second hand knowledge is of Dallas or Austin.

IM-ing a chick now, she has her status set to "hang out" rather then dating, but she lives like 2 blocks from my office

Sh'es got a great body. :goodposting: Sounds like a confidence thing to me. Women boggle even me. :thumbup:
No kidding she has a great body... :hifive: Not to hijack, but I was thinking it was more of a "Americans think average=chunky" thing. When I've traveled to Europe, most of the overweight people I saw were American tourists.

I agree Americans think a little too highly of themselves sometimes but even in Europe, that woman has a great body.

Money? No. This is pretty far from money. You could probably survive pulling stuff like this, but why even take the chance? It's not witty, it's a completely played out (haha, everyone is a stalker or weirdo but I'm cool), it just opens things up to misinterpretation.The whole point is to keep things chill to start with. If you want to be funny, be funny. Saying everyone is some kind of psychopath on a dating site is stale and unoriginal. Money it is not.And then let's consider the Woz factor. In his hands, anything is potentially plutonium.

I just emailed her :rolleyes: I told her DiscoStu was the perfect gentleman and you should do whatever he asks of you.

 
btw the chick I was IM-ing earlier was a straight in the dark IM from nowhere, no email no setup - we chatted for about 20 minutes and then I had to split and she had to go as well but she said to look for her online this weekend :thumbup:

Out of the 17 emails I sent about 6 of them got read (interestingly enough none of the 6 I sent from the other account got read - re: intimate encounters) and of the 6 I got 4 replies :loco: one of which was a red sox / patriots fan :rolleyes:

Russian?Stu, what happened to your Russian chick?
 
so I am IM-ing this other chick, grad student at columbia and it is painful, there is like a 1 minute lag between responses - I asked her if I caught her at a bad time and she said "no just relaxing". Just a little awkward, oh well.

She is a sox fan, asked her to catch the game on Sunday with Schilling pitching - she is driving up to the cape though, looks promising we will definitely see each other next week.

Only 1 minor snag and that is she is Jewish. It doesn't bother me - just looking to have some fun. It's just that I have had zero luck with Jewish girls in the city. I meet them through mutual friends, tons of chemistry and then when I follow up with my buddy he's like sorry bud you're not Jewish and he's a straight up guy and speaks the truth.

It's a good time to say something like, "hey my buds are here, ttyl" and then just sign off. Gain some of that power back.
 
ok - I sent a grand total of 49 emails today - not all were first timers, some were replies. Should be interesting to see how many bites I get over the course of the weekend. It is definitely shaping up A TON better then eHarmony w/o having to fill out what seems like an 8 page application over the course of 4 days...

Going out downtown to meet a buddy of mine, no idea what is on tap for this evening, but at least I have a little more confidence going into it.

Underground is updated with pics and IM convo (for critique).
