Quality writing has given me success on CL in the past.

In fact, even in a smaller CL city, a single good post has generated responses from up to 10 girls. Some very good looking with a lot to offer.

I am interested in trading tips and ideas with members of the forum. What has worked for me should be fairly obvious, but by browsing the rest of the chump guys posting on CL--- it's clear my posts are in the minority.

Are other members of this forum using CL and interested in a discussion?

For the record, I am using the website to target 18-24 year old girls. I suspect is the demographic most on this forum are interested in.

I'm a decent writer and am skilled at presenting myself electronically. I've tried posting CL, but have mainly received spam so I've given up on that as an angle but I'll let you know what I've tried and you may be able to work it into a good trick for yourself.

One thing I've done that got responses back (with some good back-and-forth replies) were to reply to a W4M post saying that even though I dont match her shopping list of requirements, I understood where she was coming from and just wanted to let her know that she was not alone. I also included some conversation hooks but then wished her good luck with her search -using that as a takeaway.

I've stopped with my followthrough when they sent me their pics, so another CL lesson I've learned is to get their pic before you trade numbers! Email (using a junk gmail account where you dont mind spam or coorespondence with chicks that you arent interested in) is safe enough but hold onto your phone number till you get good enough look at the target.

I have never had any luck with replying to a women's post. I am sure it's possible, but I have found it's a better use of my time and writing skills to create my own post. I know for a fact that their ad may generate up to 300 possible suitors in the matter of a day or two.

I usually use the the girl's email address to search for a Myspace, FB or any thing else I can find on Google... this way I don't waste time dealing with someone unattractive.

I'll briefly throw out a few ideas of mine that I would say lead to success.

Paint a picture with words that's mysterious and alludes to excitement and adventure. Alluding to good taste ($) obviously does not hurt if you have means. You want her to feel these things, not be told them.

Do not list your stats, incorporate that fact that you're a good looking guy and move on.

Do not say you're looking for a LTR, a fuck buddy, or anything of the sort.

Most importantly, pick and niche and exploit it.

I don't feel like elaborating too much this second (if the conversation continues I feel like I can add more), but these are principals to success.

If anyone with experience wants to swap more specific insight privately, send me a PM.
