Advice on getting responses from good looking womenPage 7 of 8    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
If the bottom line for you is the "good looking women" (in your eyes at least) then put your money where your mouth is and post a nice, clear headshot in your profile.

I mean c'mon you are emphasizing on LOOKS now aren't you? ... ... What makes you think these good-looking women don't want to have a guy whom they find attractive in their eyes too? (and the entire gist of what a lot of posters here have been saying all along! )



Your pics aren't bad (I've seen worse) but they could be better. The pic of you in the suit is nice but what's up with the shades?? .. and wearing it at night too??? ..... The pic with the cap/hat doesn't do you any favor either. (unless you wear your cap to sleep too? ) Personally I am sick of guys who wear baseball caps/hats and/or shades in their pics that makes me wonder -- what are they trying to hide?? ....

... The pic of you on stage is ok (shows what you like to do) but that's about it cos its blurry and poor lighting. .. your fourth pic is the best out of it all because it shows your face in good lighting. .. Got a bad haircut? ... scratch that pic then! ... It can't be that hard to get a nice, crisp clear up-to-date picture now is it??


Like attracts like. Be what you want to attract. Period.

Okay so I got past the first sentence now and moved on to sentence No. 2. Since your headline mentions a "supernova" and the second sentence mentions "secret geek" - are you trying to attracte a smart lady?

Anyhow. . .I still think that you should be encouraging people to get their bodies in motion and go out there and date. You're on a dating website. Isn't that what you want to do? How about a headline like. . .

Trust me dating is fun!

And, then a good first hook line like. . .

"I love summer! It's the perfect time to get out and enjoy life. I'm looking for a lady who is fit and well-balanced. . . . someone who wants to add a little more adventure to her life and wants to get out and meet new people."

In regards to pictures: the only time that I ever initiated an email conversation was when I thought that someone had an interesting picture - more specifically a location shot outdoors that left me wondering "Now, where was that taken at?" I'd email because I wanted to know or sometimes just to pass along a compliment.

I have some speedy advice...stop sending out mails to women like they are job applications have something interesting to say be less robotic.

When a guy sends me message thats says "Hi how are u ?" or "hi Beautiful" thats boring and doesnt sound like he has put much thought into it. Sometimes I dread answering that because I feel I have to come up with a conversation starter and thats just annoying like pulling teeth no thanks :/

have something unique to say to each and every woman you send a message to and if you are sending messages to every body then it sounds like you are applying for jobs trying to get whatever can at that moment.
You have to make some type of connection before inviting them to coffee, show your personality more, too many people are scared to do that but a boring compliment (no offense) wont always do it say something funny to break the ice just be real. Dont lay out what you have to offer it sound desperate almost I really dont like when guys say "I have a job and a car I have money I have no kids and I have all my teeth" blah blah blah gud for you that doesnt tell me who you are as a person its robotic... and now Im bored again :/

Read the profiles and say something relative to them, something that you think will peak their interest and it will start a conversation and the rest should come through if you guys connect...if you dont, then dont force it no small talk (its lame, its dreadful) just move on :)

I disagree with the poster above me. I've tried messeging women who i find attractive and end up with no luck. I been told im average looking and came to terms of accepting that. No attractive woman would go for an average guy, its solid proof for being on here. So, IRL, i will only approach a woman who is average and i just may have a remote chance


You think you've actually proven a point by messaging a very minute fraction of the female population in this world??

I'm not about to tell you that looks don't play a significant role, but attitude can make or break you. I have a cousin who LOOKS like Johnny Depp. (no kidding) Women LOVE him.....until they start talking to him. He has no game, no confidence, horrible body language, and the same pessimistic outlook you seem to possess.

On the other side of the spectrum, I have a friend who many would consider "average" in terms of appearance alone, but is absolutely fearless, outgoing, has the "gift of gab", and a good sense of humor. I have never been out with him, and NOT seen him leave with a woman by the end of the night.

Me personally, I don't care how good looking a woman is, if she started unloading the same stuff you are, she's losing points on the attractive scale. I like to think that I can do better than reeling in a Debbie Downer.

Your picture is creepy, and the way you're standing taking that pic, have a friend take pics of you at the beach, shirtless with a surf board or something, smiling, see the results,

change your frames, get some designer frames

"I would say you are very average looking at best. You are shooting for the very attractive women. Can you see the problem here yet?"

Ditto, it's not rocket science.


This!

Advice on getting responses from good looking women


I'm going to give you some very simple advice.

Be yourself, be honest, and go after the ones you have something in common with, if you contact them just because they're hot your wasting your time and theirs.

being funny is great too, but cheesy pick up lines I'm sure most women see through.

So that's about it IMO

If a woman is attractive it doesn't make them worth dating BTW, it's nice to have but I've met some who have half the personality, character, and values as ordinary or below average looking gals. Being attractive I consider to be like icing on the cake, but if their is no cake to begin with all you have icing and personally I like cake if I'm going to have icing. If that makes sense.

This!
4's date 4's, 10's date 10's.

I agree, generally speaking. The OP does have an outwardly Unique-Look. That's not good to flow with when you're naturally great looking -- but is when you're average-at-best -- to tattoo up, dress different, etc. If you're a 4.5/10, you'll find gals who are a 3 who aren't interest BUT some girls who are a 7 who are.

It's liking being a home run hitter. You may have a low batting average, but you can crank 'em out of the park. And when finding a gal, it's not how many runs your score.

Online though, when you have that unique-look by fashion, tattoos, etc -- you're going to usually be restricted to your demographic. Online, statistically I believe, women may respond better to unique write-ups to grasp their attention due to full inbox... but not outwardly unique looks unless they're basically in that same demographic.

I don't think ONLY contacting average looking women will significantly improve a man's positive reply rate. Average looking women can be just as picky as the more attractive ones. If I liked a woman's photos and there was nothing about me that is a clear dealbreaker to her ( according to her profile ) and vice versa, I will contact her.

Women in general are shallow and superfical. Guys arent as picky about looks.

That's a joke,right? Have you READ the forums, constantly decrying fat women, older women etc? How they are washed up, no use to anyone? And yeah, those words have been used. You really must be joking.

People from both genders can be shallow. I think the biggest difference is some women will date men that they aren't physically attracted to because of money / social status / power.

Lol, good looking women aren't going to send messages back unless you are a greek god, full stop. They will simply ignore you and forget you even exist no matter how sincere or nice or true to profile your message was. Hell most average women will think the same way. Any women below that will usually message you first using text speech or something equally lame.

Just remember this, women might get tons more replies but are they really quality replies?? Probably not. So really you aren't missing out on much.

Poster above me, i think ur aiming way way too high. Thats the problem with most women, they won't give average guys a shot. While guys really do want to meet average women. I think u just need to expand ur mind

How does a guy know if he's average or above? Wouldn't it depend on who is looking? I don't think I'm bad looking at all, but obviously I'm the only one who thinks that since I get no replies lol.


Well if a guy really wants to know if he's average or above (or below), ask the women in the forums. I'm sure they'd gladly tell you. But women can be brutally honest (brutal being the keyword) and you might not like the answer.

Ignore?!!? Far from it - every woman who messages me gets a reply back whether it's continuing the conversation or doing a harmless, friendly rejection. Granted blokes get about 1-2 messages a month if they're lucky and girls get a lot more, but even so it's simply courtesy. Despite not wanting to respond to those who haven't read the profile and just post "hi howz you, i is extreemly bbw" or some other similar rubbish.

Most women dont get 500 messages a day after the initial new girl rush, not even when their tits are out and their bums are in the air. However women do have their choices on here and you need to be contacting those on your level of attractiveness which goes down points, incidentally, when you are even on a dating site like this. Good lookers are usually out with other good lookers, or they are spammers or fakes or all three.
