Online game question.

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.

You need to meet them in real life ASAP. Just invite them to a coffee house or bar. THe best lace is to take them someplace where you have a lot of SP. Or, you could try intviting her to your place to watch a movie. Many chicks will do this.

I disagree. You can meet them whenever you choose. A lot of guys in the community tend to think there's some sort of time clock that you have to work against. This just isn't the case IMO. There's a girl I met on Myspace 2 years ago when I was an AFC. I've not yet met her, but she is obviously attracted. I'm starting to get interested in her, so I might meet her.

DHV, then seed an activity, such as "My friend went to the Boardwalk and she said it is a great place to do some people watching-which I love. Do you ever go people watching?"

Then make her qualify, and invite her out. Tell her something like,

WF: I picked a public place because I want to be sure you're not a predator like most women I meet on here.

or,

WF: Let's meet for coffee first, that way if you're a dork, I can ditch you and still salvage the evening.
