you're beautiful imo. especially for a nerdy asian girl who cheats on msn games and loves to show off her biceps. but i think those sites are full of crap.

beautiful to americans, are girls who weigh 105 lbs and have 12 pack abs with a small ass and gigantic tits.

now, i dont ever consider anyone ugly, and while most guys might like that, those kinds of thing sjust dont appeal to me. i know the blackies on BG will back me up on this, but smile->butt-> everything else is priority for "beauty" lol

i think i might try those sites just for kicks. but im not gonna specify looking for anyone either. just friendship. i doubt ill get many responses, but 1 nighters are overrated! amirite?!

Probably should've gone with a douchey mirror shirtless pic.

Yeah I picked like the goofiest pic of myself just to see if I could get in on it. So far I'm mostly red x's and a few checks. It's funny though, I've looked through some of the members and I just can't help but wonder how they make it in. This site is so shallow it's hilarious.

Edit: I bet a lot of applicants use a fake picture and then just change their picture once they get in.

Been on the site two days now, gotten two messages. Granted they aren't someone I'd initially approach, but whatever, I'm not actually serious about the site as I'm off and on with someone anyways.

It's a numbers game and the reason a girl doesn't reply may have very little to do with you personally.

Also, lower your physical standards you shallow fuck.

Aight good shit I read your little sample messages and I must say I don't quite have game like that. I think I am a bit to worried about this whole online thing, and I get to worried that any message I send will seem too forward, and then I realize that this is a dating site and that is the point. I just get really in my head with things like this and don't really get to the point very well. It is difficult for me to make that leap to actually offering and trying to hang out with the person.

And my physical standards aren't that high... I just don't like fatties :/. But they love me. 3 messages and counting from the fatties!! I am actually very much not shallow for real though.

Spoiler: show

Ok so I just sent this to someone I thought was pretty awesome and lives in my town. How do you think I did? Any input would be nice, I mean I am normally pretty much a smooth talker and I know how to talk to girls but I want to make sure I don't scare anyone off from me. I tried not using hey or hello in the title so it wouldn't be lost in a sea of shitty messages that weren't from me. Anyway criticism and advise is awesome.

**Weiing** · 2010-05-05 01:34

I think you have mastered Archi's smiley face. Sneaky.

Were you really bragging about your homemade sauce? COCKY. Haha just kidding. I think you did alright. If I got that message, I'd think about it...maybe. Then again, everyone is different. Good luck.

**archibaldcrane** · 2010-05-05 01:36

Seems a little stiff and overdone on the smiley faces (bitches may love them but settle down son). Asking if she cooks "at all even?" is kind of a dick move if she doesn't - noone wants to be judged from the get-go (unless you're pulling some "The Game"-type shit, which I'm sure you aren't).

But yeah it's decent. Just relax man, bitches love confidence.

**Mayareira** · 2010-05-05 01:48

Too many smileys there!

Fucking lol. Also bitches do love confidence like Arch said. Not cocky/arrogant/egotistical

Huge difference.

So, like 8 hours of conversation with the girl I mentioned in my last post. Either it's a good sign, or I totally shot myself in the foot for actual date conversation. Shooting for a meet thursday night, but might have to postpone until the weekend depending on family stuff on my end. Apparently I set up my profile in a way that totally crushed her expectations once we got to talking. >.>

And I used smileys.

Way too long, it should be like a telegraph.

I don't know why, but using a smiley face in a message seems so menacing and creepy.

**tyven** · 2010-05-05 08:54

Next time I see you, I'll show you some of my text messages. Used appropriately, it's a powerful tool.
