I'll have to play catchup, because you might have mentioned this already in the previous 26 pages....
but for actual dating sites (e.g. not social networking), do you recommend being more up front/aggressive with your intentions? I have tried C&F, and being disinterested but it goes NOwhere!
I know on PoF a lot of these women probably get 10-100 messages a day from losers. I haven't ever seen an "unread - deleted", but often I get the "read" or "read - deleted" and no response. 2 for 10 response ratio probably
Soooooo... I tried adding C&F to overtly sexual humor, which eventually turned into horse references (lol) and I did get a response... and, she was playing along. 1 for 1 on that one... lol
I don't know, seems counterintuitive, but that's how Style said it is...
I received my best results from starting off with qualification type of questions to use as openers, and then moved into a more upfront/aggressive style.
I might have started off with an opener like
"Is there more to you than just your looks?"
Again, just like in person the only goal of the opener is to get her to respond back, period. Once she responds back the hardest part is done for us. However, there aren't many sites in which you'll get much better than 20%-30% response rate on dating sites.
As I mentioned before there are 100 reasons their profile is still up. I know for fact my girlfriend is still on eharmony because she paid for six months or whatever. Then it expired and she didn't bother to completely remove it.
Think of it like this forum. There is thousands of guys registered to the site but probably 20% of them actually post anything with regularity.
Getting back to the topic. After she responds to you then you can go into Mystery's "Beauty is common thing..." to ground the opener, and then switch it to attraction/comfort building material.
I went over the attraction/comfort building phase in a
free online workshop I did this summer for another forum. The link to it is

listen.
*Warning this file is in .wav format and about 265MB, and I think around an hour long*
You should be able to right click on the link to "Save Target As"
Basically, think of it like building C1 type comfort "Rapport" using stories and some questions, while embedding DHV spikes into what you are saying. At the same time being very upfront with the girl about the type of relationship you want.
To quote a great line from the movie SPY GAME with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt, Roberts character at one point says,
"We need twice the sex with half the foreplay." I believe that statement best describes the concept behind combining these steps.
Great questions guys, keep them coming.
