Ok, I'm not really into the whole online game thing. I guess it's because I just don't understand the whole thing.

Do you guys just randomly search for women in your area and contact them? Is that what people do nowadays?

I doubt I would have any problem with online back and forth, but doesn't it come off as creepy that you search and send messages to random people?

All the posts that I see people post about Facebook and no one has one response?

I'd have pretty similar feelings about the whole Facebook gaming thing man. It's something that I really wish someone could/it was possible to devise a really good method of gaming for but I don't think it's very likely anyone will.

If it was possible to devise a solid Facebook gaming method it would definitely have a lot of applications and plenty of advantages to normal game. For a few examples, you can get a good idea of a girls personality from her profile before ever even opening her, You can (sometimes) tell whether or not she's single before contacting her and sometimes you stumble across girls on Facebook that you'd really love to game but it's unlikely you'll ever run into them in real life. Obviously, real life gaming will always be superior but if you happen to stumble on a girl, really like her and are unlikely to ever meet her in real life then Facebook becomes your only option.

Unfortunately, as I kind of touched on above, I think anyone who does try to game on Facebook will always be fighting an uphill battle. In even contacting her at all you come across as slightly creepy for having stumbled on her page like that. She doesn't know how long you've been perving on her before making contact. This applies doubly if you've got no friends in common.

In my own experience, I never deliberately trawl through local girls profiles in the hope of finding one I want to game but sometimes you do stumble upon them through friends or similar groups or interests. When I do, and have no other means of getting in contact with her I do usually start to wish I could think of a solid method to game her.

There are plenty of methods out there for online gaming. That's not the problem. My question is as you said above, do you randomly search for girls in your area and contact them? Is this something that's expected? How does it not come across as creepy?

personally i think that online gaming of randoms is kinda fucked. its becoming more common nowadays because of all these bullshit dating sites but thats for those who are socially inapt, and if you are socially inapt, read the game.

I dont know how it doesnt come of as creepy personally, because some random adding me and chatting me up on some dating site, although flattered, it would freak me out a bit.

the only online gaming that should be done is via facebook, or any other social networking in my opionion. on chat or inboxing, only to follow up after meeting someone or after a number close or a kiss close or fuck close. random adds are just down right creepy. and if you add some random, they dont get any of your real game, you only get to half ass it without body language and kino etc. and your looks. but again its good for follow up to DHV

My area of expertise

Tips: Have a profile picture with a girl

NEVER OPEN WITH "Hey x" When opening them say something "Hey are you from.... i think i know you"
then chat shit about the place there actually from to build repore google the place if you need to.

You always end the conversation first as if you are going to get the number and she is going offline you will look desperate, either wait till shes back online or ask when you have a feeling she's leaving.

Look around the profile for things to talk about there all over of the place

Dont update your statuses .. it shows you have two much time on your hands

Cut out everything childish from your page or drunk pictures!

Like I said above, I never search for girls in my area randomly. What does happen at times, though, is that I stumble on a girl through a friend's page, through a group for some local event or business or, sometimes, they just pop up in the "people you might know" section. When that happens, if it's possible to find another way to meet her (e.g. get a mutual friend to introduce us) then I'll do that. However, if I really can't think of another way to meet her then the only option I'm left with (if I like this girl enough that I don't want to just leave it go) is to do some kind of cold approaching through Facebook.

As for the creepiness part, I definitely think it comes off as creepy. That's almost certainly the biggest problem with cold-opening a girl on Facebook. There are ways to offset it a little bit (e.g. if you have pictures that give you social proof) but it's always going to be an issue. That's why I'd much rather have met the girl in person in the first place or, at least, be introduced by a mutual friend after seeing her online. But like I said above, if those things aren't an option then I can either leave her go completely or just try to do what I can to limit the creepiness.

I know there are a lot of Facebook gaming methods that people have been working on but I've personally had quite limited success with them. Like you've pointed out, there are some huge challenges to be faced for anyone trying to meet a girl this way (like the creepiness or the process of transitioning to an actual meet-up with someone you've never spoken to in person). I think, if anyone is to devise a significantly successful approach to gaming via Facebook, then working through these obstacles would form the bulk of their work. Once you get over these problems it's more or less the same as gaming in any other setting.

One thing I will say is that, once the initial creepiness has been overcome and if you can get to the stage where you can talk to the girl quite freely (using banter and things like you would with any woman you were talking to in person), then it's not really any more difficult than normal game. I have had girls add me randomly on Facebook (meaning I didn't have to worry about coming off creepy for being the one to add a randomer) and have usually been very successful in gaming them. In some ways, the fact that there's less pressure on you and you've got more time to work on your responses to her makes it a bit easier. You can quite comfortable talking to her and getting to know her even before you meet her. I know some people might not think this is a very PUA way of looking at things but it's proven successful for me.

Anyways, hope this helps with your questions a bit
