Well this is just a small thread to report the results that I promised to give. Anyways, I've had some very interesting results. Only one date out of like 150 messages. It was awesome though, this was certainly a positive turn around from my previous 6 months on the service. In fact, I would say it was an extreme success. Not only have I learned to actually get more women to view my profile overall, but women actually responded. I think before I had used the method of opening I literally had one or two women that ever messaged me in 6 months. That number went to roughly 30. It is an extreme triumph.

In addition to that, I've learned to actually have some conversation skills. Online is really good for that, and at first I didn't realize it. Online and in general all telecommunications mediums serve as great practice prior to actually meeting women. However, I had the experience of learning that it was also not a substitute for field game.

One area that I seemed to lack in a bit was calibration. Even when I had successfully acquired numbers or opened a target, I would get flaked on because I would follow up poorly. Either I would come onto someone too hard, or I would stumble and look for something to say. I often found myself retreating back to RedBaron's post on building attraction through text which worked substantially, but wasn't exactly what I needed to draw women into dates. I would say that my opening skills have increased greatly, my ability to flirt has also significantly increased. But my ability to make a "click" moment with the target needs work.

However, online also taught me to have an abundance mindset, and general apathy towards results. And this not only improved my results, but also decreased my stress and increased my happiness.

I would say that this was a very exciting and successful experience. The initial goal was to create a successful profile which got women to respond. I wasn't at all innovative, in fact I adopted a new motto when it came to dating in general, "Imitate, don't innovate". It isn't to say that being creative and adaptive isn't important, simply that the baseline structure being a proven one increases results. And by far it has.

There are so many positive things from this experience that I can take to field game. And there are certainly some things that I can work on. But overall, I would say that my current position is a substantial improvement from the previous position. I would consider this to be a strategic victory.

Lessons here will be taken into account and I will slowly develop the online dating doctrine that I’ve been seeking. However, I will go against conventional advice, which is to use field game as the primary source of intrigue, and online as a mere appendage of field game. I will do the reverse. This is for reasons of practicality. At this point in my life it is not logical or possible to invest too much time in the field. Other things need be done. However, the field can serve as a fine-tuning device for my online game in general. We’ll see.

Well guys the time has come to officially tally the results. In total from online game here is the following.

F-closes: 0

Dates: 1

N-closes: 3

Women who responded to me online for more than a message or two: 6

Total number of responses: 20

Number of users contacted: Well over 100, but not over 165.

Users who blocked me: 1

Number of flakes: 19 (2 might not be potentially flakes)


Hmmm well guys that's that. I think I've had a great time. And one thing I really like is how online game really helped me to sharpen up my sexual escalation skills. I really lacked the concept of what flirting was prior to doing online dating. It might seem far fetched, but I seriously lacked comprehensive understanding. Now I have it. I can really take this out into the world and see that it manifests into something good. I'm wondering if I should put up the 3 most important interactions. I think I'll do that eventually. But now you have it.

That's awesome. I like hearing about other people improving themselves, especially in a positive way such as this.

I never did like that the term "F-close" was usually meant as "fuck close". I prefer "full close", where "full" means not lacking in any aspects, and complete from your perspective. So what was your intention with online dating? If it was to crush as much ass as possible, then yeah, you had 0 F-closes. But if you set out to meet at least one girl for a date, well, that was accomplished. F-close = 1.

My goal was to have a sex close if that's more proper, but of course it is significant that I recognize that I've set up my first date. My results seemed to have declined since initially making the post. And I don't quite know why. I haven't been sending the stereotype messages, but I've been getting very little play on POF. Perhaps its my pictures. I'll have to reevaluate them and perhaps I'll have to take newer and better ones.
