Online game question.
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2007 12:26 am
I had tried the whole online personals thing a while back to no success at all (Before I had read the Game and discovered the community). But after a conversation with a friend a week ago about Style's personals experiment I decided to try it again. I sat down with the concept of being the "selfish jerk" like Style talks about typed the first line "I'm a selfish pig." and then, since I could think of nothing else I proceded to turn the whole thing into a big joke. Instead of it reading like I'm an asshole, its funny.
Then I did the other thing Style talks about. I took a photo and screwed around with it in paint.net so that it looks kind of like a drawing and stands out.
Two things here. One good, one not.
First, the times past when I tried online personals I got no profile views from people that I had not viewed. Since I put this up I've gotten at least one or two a day.
Second, I've actually got about four girls talking to me now online. But how the hell do I make the transition from online to meeting them in the real world. If I'm not able to make that transition then this whole expeiriment is about as useful as staying home when I could be out in a bar, at a coffee shop or actually doing homework.
