Internet Dating.....Who Has Done it?!

Been using Badoo recently too, it's a weird site. All the messages I get seem to be a smiley or one word "Hi". Some nice looking women on there, but I can't be arsed to reply to that crap, doesn't seem worth the energy.

However, got a couple more messages on OKCupid and POF, one a cute 23 year old American student, so will try meet her for coffee soon.

Holy shizzle, that's just cringe worthy. You kinda sound like the male equivalent of them tango'd blondes wearing ugg boots and non-prescription glasses. You know, a small minority, but enough to bring societies opinion of the whole gender down.

Stop reading american pick-up books, that kind of stuff only works in America. Your messages sound very... forced, trying to be funny when you're not is more of a turn off than not actually being funny.

Here's an idea, no matter what you say on the initial message to someone, they'll either reply or not. Online Dating allows people to be more than particular about who they wish to date. Being the pick-up master you sound like, you should know this. Women (and men) look for certain things in a partner, social status, wealth, security, excitement, looks etc. Now, if you're not getting replies then you either haven't demonstrated on your profile that you have all of those qualities that person is looking for, or more than likely you don't actually have them.

So what can you do?! Yes, you could try and come up with some more awesomely funny opening messages in the hope one catches them unawares! Or, you could work to improve the said qualities above, and look to better yourself, and in the process maybe just maybe you'll meet someone with the same mind-set.

That says exactly what I couldn't arsed to write. :)
 
I understand completely. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. I just like acronyms so the pick up jargon is like a fun little code like with computers - "I clocked a 300a at 450 but I needed to up the vcore". See? No one outside the cool circle knows what that means but it sounds like you'd want to know, right? HB means hunny bunny, for me anyway. It's cute and better than just using numbers which can get confusing.
 
Sorry Miss Chief, I should explain. You prefix a number (hotness rating for some but I like to include personality and intelligence to a certain extent) with HB and suffix it with a short moniker to act like a description. It's a necessary evil if you talk to lots of women. For example, if you want to tell someone about 2 girls you approached (a 2-set) it's easier to call refer to them as HB7 blonde and HB6 brown eyes instead of "the blonde one". It provides more info.

You would be HB9 Asian (I hope that's not racist).

I thought I recognised some of those acronyms. Mr Strauss' story was a good read and a portal into a world that not many people know about.
 
At first I thought, heartbreaker, but it didn't fit with what he was saying... and then it clicked. He means higgs boson, clearly what physicists have been searching all this time and they've been looking in the wrong place.
 
Ouch. I've been rejected by an HB5 and spent 2 months in prison (the 2 events were unrelated) but being insulted with a cliche by a bald stocky bloke on a computer forum is what really hurts.

Cliche? Insult? Stop being so melodramatic.
 
For someone who seems to think I insult you, you throw more than enough comments for the 2 of us.
I'm happily short, fat and bald (less through choice these days), not sure why that concerns you though :)
 
Sorry Morba, I didn't mean to imply that you were short, it's just that I'm just really tall hence my comment about being taller. To readdress your original insight with respect to my marital status, your concern is appreciated, but unnecessary.
