Here's what my profile looked like on POF a few months ago. It's quite poetic. And helpful, if you happened to follow me here and want to know what has been going on in that noggin' of mine.
"Okay, so it's safe to say I'm done with this. Tried it for a few months and it's really not for me. It may be harder to meet people in real life, but I'm going to try as long as I can avoid this.
I'm sure a lot of you are fantastic guys. I'm sure you're just on here for the same reason a lot of people are: you're busy, you're sick of the bar scene, etc.
So don't go to the bar scene, guys. Go to a coffee shop, or the park, something. Now look down. Right there, at your balls. see your balls? you have them. Act like it. Honestly, even if you're the creepiest guy - ever - if you come up to one of us somewhere, we may not be attracted to you but wow, we respect you. We respect you because you had the nerve to come up to us an strike up a conversation about something.
So if some guys have the balls for that, then you certainly can have the balls to message a girl, right? something other than "whazup nice eyes"? We know when you're being creative, and when you're not. Be creative - it's the best way to get us to respond. The best way to do that is to read our profile and mention something about it. anything will do, really. Just not our boobs. Don't mention those in the first convo.
So if you message us, and get past that first bit of chit chat, do that thing again where you look at your balls and remember that they're there. Ask us for our number. Then - and here's the kicker! - don't text us. I know, misleading. We started out with text on the computer so it seems like a natural transition, right? wrong. Nothing says either wuss or lazy ass like a text. Once you have our number, you call us. with your voice - or you're dubbed as "that guy who is too afraid to hear our voice".
In fact: never text unless you're running late, or you want us to know how cute we are in passing. Do Not use text as primary conversation unless you want to be diminished in our eyes. We know you like texting, we know you think it's easy - but you are trying to get US to go out with you, and the best way is through your voice.
Well, I've said my piece. I'm not bitter, nor am I unattractive or angry. I'm just a normal girl trying to make sense of this weird technological divide which I think has made dating worse for us, not better.
The next time you're in a public place and you see a cute girl, just go up to her and say this: " I'm sorry to bother you, but I couldn't help but notice ___________. (The book she's reading, the drink she's purchased, anything you can inquire about). If she doesn't smile even a little bit, if she hesitates while looking around for some kind of escape, well you struck out on that one. She has a boyfriend, manic depression, or a bladder issue. Move on to the next.
The point is it doesn't matter if you get that girl or if your ego is bruised. The point is, you took one for the team. You acted like a real man. And someday, a girl 200 times better than the ones that turned you down is going to see that. And you won't have to say, "I met her online."
