Online dating:

Pros:

- can set up a profile which does a lot of the work for you (if it's good)

- less need to socialize/go out/meet people

- can rather easily choose between a lot of people

Cons:

- your pics are everything = still more superficial than offline

- looks matter still more, more objectification/reduction on looks

- more logical and less fun than offline

- need to constantly message new people and then decide about dates without having met someone

- as a woman you'll need to deal with a lot of needy bullshit from desperate guys

 

Offline:

Pretty much the reverse of the above. You can convey your personality better. You become a better person if you socialize regularly and it's more fun, more "real".

For 9/10 guys that’s the case. If you are really attractive as a guy you will get all the girls there.

Or if you have really good pics. I am apparently really good looking (routinely get rated a 9) but if I make my profile kind of shitty it's rare to get any 7.5+ matches (my cutoff), and the 7.5's I do get usually don't message super eagerly, at least not at first. From cold approach I literally get 8.5's saying shit like "wow you are SO handsome!" and I can at least get my foot in the door with stunners -- interestingly the most common way for me to get blown out is actually forgetting their fucking name one too many times  -- if I've been drinking and especially if also on dabs, this happens way too much, it's bad...

 

If you create a female account you get shown all the most popular male users (this is to get the girls hooked on the app) -- they're not necessarily model looking, but they are all 6 foot 5... So height matters a whole lot. More than model looks. I'm 5'10'' barefoot so I can pass for 6 ft in most or at least some shoes. Have the camera facing up slightly so your head is the furthest thing on your body from the camera -- this will make you look taller. Don't have any photos of you looking shorter than anyone else in the picture.

 

In the "about me," don't give too much away -- it needs to be slightly mysterious. Put just enough to convey a bit of your freely expressed genuine personality and best (high value) self.

Part of the game is allowing the girl to have her fantasy of you -- don't spoil it for her.

 

So get pro pics or at least use the timer and portrait mode on your phone, or use a good camera. And use Face App for filters, and get hot girls to tell you which photos are good -- if this isn't an option I hear there's something called Photo Feeler that you can use to get rated.

You can even use green screen and photoshop. I haven't done this yet. Taking a break from Tinder and the other apps but I will probably using those when I go back on there. No idea how to implement that but I guess I'll have to figure it out.

Starting now, take pics whenever you're out doing cool shit -- start now so you get better at it and can build up a stockpile of pictures. I neglected to do this so I'm having to start over.

 

Also, find a graffiti wall for a background, and bring a phone/camera with timer so it doesn't look like a selfie. Selfies (visibly holding the phone/cam) make you look narcissistic as fuck, so avoid that.
