Need some help with this HB9 please - I need to build rapport/female-male interest. If this was face-to-face I would push-pull (..maybe neg) but unsure if that will work here. I assume I cannot directly answer her question (or use it to DHV - e.g. I am attending a speech by a Noble Peace Prize winner Thurs...?). Perhaps something cocky+funny would be better, but right now - I can't see a sense of humour! Just a lot of shit tests. Am going to sleep on it so....suggestions?

Him:
Hey <name>, how are you, been up to much this week, great adventures, breaking resolutions... (Tut tut ;o)
I'm great thanks - a little tired perhaps (intense week/weekend filled with great news)... nothing better than relaxing with the sunday paper right?
So I am intrigued as you are perhaps someone who can provide intellectual stimulation....so I am saying 'hi' to see if you are friendly... after all, you know what they say about Capricorns right?
Let's see...

Her:
Hi <name>,
Weekend was fabulous and so far I've managed to stick to the new goals set for this year.
Enlighten me, what is the stereo type about Capricorns? (apart from stubbornness)

Him:
Hi <name>, glad to hear it - what did you get up to?
Putting me straight on the spot - a positive start - you won't suffer fools. I prefer traits - it is much more unique. For a start - you have a sense of adventure, appreciation of natural beauty (and let's not limit that to visual).... and I will throw out there that whilst important - you're not outfoxed by first impressions?
Now... changing 'resolutions' to 'goals'... I should have seen that one coming )
So something a little different - your profile doesn't give away too much - Strawberries, Skittles, or M&Ms ?

Hi,
I started with seeing a few of my closest friends yesterday then lunch with my family today, a bit of exercise later and enjoying a relaxing evening as I am ready to kick start the week tomorrow at 7:00 am with a spin class .
I prefer strawberries out of the 3 listed and my profile doesn't give away much as I find it unnecessary to write online essays about me. I can chose who to disclose additional information to, although I always like keeping a bit if mystery there.
If you could choose to do any other role apart from the one you're currently undertaking, what would it be and why?

You've got a decent sense of confidence in your messages, but be careful not to write so much, or at least not way more than she does in her last response.

She's not exhibiting any humor because you're not. If you want a few laughs in the conversation, you need to instigate them. Never rely on a woman to take the first step (unless she's a closet dominatrix). For example, she said-

"I can chose who to disclose additional information to, although I always like keeping a bit if mystery there"

So you can say something like-

"Oh I see, you've got a lot to hide! Don't worry, I won't tell the cops where you hid the cocaine "

Or some similar bullshit. Notice how I just took a completely mundane, ultimately uninteresting sentence and turned it into something fun and playful. That's the crux of online dating... you not only want to set yourself apart from all the other guys but you want to make her have FUN, too. And the key to that is to take a completely silly, I-don't-give-a-flying-fuck-about-any-of-this-I'm-just-here-to-fuck-with-people-and-have-fun kind of attitude to your conversations (even if it's not true.... fake it til you make it!) Because if she has fun just talking to you online, well shit, imagine how much fun she'll have with you in person.

I just came across this little gem. Read the conversation, I think it'll help you: details-of-a-gold-plated-online-sarge-vt62424.html


P.S. And honestly.... don't think of your interactions with women in terms of C1, C2, A1, A2... Mystery Method is useful for understanding HOW to be a fun, social, and sexually comfortable guy, but following shit like A1, A2 is a golden ticket to becoming a social robot. I've seen too many guys go down that road, and trust me, you don't want to be one of them. Enjoy the conversations for what they are, get a feel for the girl's personality, and most importantly have FUN with it!
