Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
I usually read their profile and try to find some form of topic on there to talk about. Like for example: (Hows it going, seen on your profile you like Nickelback. Do you have a preference for a certain song of theirs?) Not worded exactly like that but you get the gist of it.
Not going to lie, I am unsure of how to do the first message and its always the hardest part of it at least for me. Its funny though because on ones I say screw it and send a message like this to: (Hey whats up? (Yeah I know its a horrible first message so this is a place holder until I find a new one)) tend to get more replies back and lead into better conversation than trying to find a common topic to talk about.PS4 Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/candyman5os

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
Definitely. Correct grammar usage is important when communicating on a website like that. You don't want to give the impression that you lack education. As messed up as that might sound; the first message you send to someone will get more thoroughly judged than a pie at the state fair.
On OS however? **** it.YNWAComment

My latest little fling has seemingly ended for the time being. She lived about 65 minutes from me and about 30 from where I work. Which wasn't a big deal, but my 8-5 schedule just never lined up with her random schedule at a restaurant and internship at another place. I'm thinking once I move closer to my work, and thus closer to her, things will spark back up. Back to the Internet!Comment

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
The first message is always tricky. It really depends on the girl, and it's not something you can usually tell based on their profile. My two most successful first messages are ones that somehow take something from their profile and make it witty/funny and oddly enough "Hey
How are you?" I guess chicks really do dig smiley faces. The more you come off as funny and the less you come off as a creeper the better your chances.
Don't expect a response back every time. Unless you have perfect looks it isn't going to happen.Fan of....

On eHarmony I used to read their profile and try to come up with a paragraph where I ask them a few questions and make a comment or two (like "I'm really into movies too, what's your favorite? Mine's...." or whatnot).
Still very hit or miss though, because most women on these sites will get a lot of messages so they won't be able to reply to everyone.

I think women are looking at pictures. The words don't matter and possibly can't.
We guys are sending them a billion messages. They have no choice but to make it about appearances and go from there.
I have never spoken to a girl on those sites that made it about messages when actually getting them on a date. And neither have ever said "he was cute but he only said hey." Haha. Right.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
Guys do the same thing....Sometimes I'd be talking to multiple women, so I learned I had to ignore them if I wasn't attracted to them via the picture.
Sucks, but with only so much time to reply or actually go on dates you have to weed out the ones you're not into. Otherwise you just waste everyone's time.Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

Definitely.
It's real world, man. I'm not hating.
Internet dating lets you go after multiple women at one time. Then you just have to hope she finds something interesting about you.
Not to say there aren't those that will read messages and appreciate what you have to say. They do exist, but more difficult to find.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
So I went to a concert tonight at a bar with about 2,000-2,500 people. Who is standing beside me? Some random *** chick that I had messaged on POF, then said F it, messaged on OKC too after not getting a response and we chatted some on OKC before ultimately being rejected. Luckily no eye contact was made.Comment

I hate the latest app update. They made the matches page "better" apparently, but now instead of a summary of how old they are and where they are from it only shows a page of thumbnails.Comment
