I just got a stupid junk message from my old Plenty Of Fish account about some fake porn account that “wants to meet me” and then tries to get me to find her on another pay-site.
Obviously I didn’t do it, but I decided to allocate about 5 minutes to getting back into the online dating game.
I kept clicking through to all the cute girls’ profiles that popped up, and sent each one the same message: “Hey what’s up?”
Then POF prevented me from sending any more copy/pasted messages, so I changed it up to: “Hey you’re kind of cute. Maybe I’ll let you buy me dinner some time.”
To top it all off, one pretty girl (whose profile emphasizes faith in God as a prime trait of her ideal mate) required a “longer message” in order to send, so I customized it, still beginning with the buy-me-dinner opening.

Exact tally:
“Hey what’s up?” (38)
“You’re kind of cute, I might let you buy me dinner.” (17)
Custom message (1)

And now a contest:
Predict the exact results (over the next 24 hours).
Ready?
Go.
4 responses to what’s up
2 responses to dinner
God girl will respond
I don’t think you’ll get too many responses. Especially with the “hey what’s up?”.
My prediction:
2 responses off hey what’s up
2 responses off of the dinner message.
Custom message chick doesn’t respond either.
online dating is weird….. ur job u have now seems pretty awesome so if u pump that up in ur profile then u should get good responses. put up some pics with u chillin with a celeb and watch the women message you first lol…. i cant really know what reacction u got bc i havnt seen ur profile, but im guessing either u got a LOT of responses (ur profile is good with lotsa social proof and pics of u with hotties, or ur a hot guy), or u got MAYBE one (bad profile, or u dont look hot in ur pics)
The best thing I found with on-line dating is to find the hottest girls and send them a message designed to get them angry. The idea – they never reply to normal messages – but if you anger them, they always respond.
Then all you have to do is be firm, stick to your guns and DHV yourself while you argue.
I don’t want to blog whore but there is a good example on another blog which highlights. Let me know if you want the link.

Hey Jambone I’m familiar with you through Krauser. I actually did read your online dating turnaround, it inspired me a bit. You can see the results in my followup post.
Really depends on how good looking you are in your pictures and how high value your profile makes you out to be. If you’re getting fairly attractive Asian chicks grabbing your ass at random, I’m guessing you’re a fairly good looking guy. You’re a decent writer so your profile is probably witty. Even with a lame line like “Hey, what’s up?” I predict that you’ll have an above average amount of success. For most people using those lame lines wouldn’t elicit any responses.
Hey man,
I just moved to LA from the East Coast and seem to be in the same age range as you. What area did you end up living in? I’m looking in Los Feliz right now, around Vermont Ave. I’ll also be going to the UCB theater quite a bit for classes.
Hey Jason, send me an email at QuestFor50@gmail.com and let’s talk more about the neighborhood.
