Hey guys,

I've been using the "is that a wig, or is that your real hair" opener on Myspace/Facebook for a little bit now, and I always get a response but I need a good way to keep the conversation going after that. I usually say, "Oh, just curious. Don't worry, it looks good." Then follow with something like "While I have your attention, I need a girl's opinion..." and I'll mention some sort of situation my friends are in, but I don't always get a response. What's a good way to follow up to the "it's my real hair" response?

is her page private?

By asking her if it's her real hair or a wig, you're accusing her of wearing a wig, right?

Think about the following for a second:

What's the most logical response to an accusement? A defense, as in..an explanation (or sometimes a comeback). So EXPECT that explanation, and then turn it around and use it against her as a "double accusement."

Her: It's my real hair
Me: That's what they allll say, until you invite them to go swimming with you when you're at the beach and they develop an instant fear of water

(note: most people think that wigs are stuck to your head with normal glue, and normal glue will get screwed up by water as everybody knows)

Great things to use for the double accusement are:

- yeah right, just admit it: ...(repeat the accusement here)
- that's what they allll say, until you/meanwhile (exaggerate accusement here)
- uhuh, whateeeever you say, meanwhile...(exaggerate accusement here)

I can guarantee you that the number of responses you'll receive will DOUBLE. Why? Because now you're continuing the conversation with it and show them it was a real topic of conversation, and not an attention grabber. Caus' guess what she'll think when you send her a "is that your real hair" questions, and then ask her opinion about something totally unrelated.

It's just like the following ad in the newspaper classifieds:

SEX

Now that I've got your attention, let's talk insurance policies I can offer you.

You see? It's FOOLING her, and women are quick to see through it because they do have a set of brains you know. In my experience, starting about topic A and escalating all the way to the contact info (after 3-5 messages) is a okay, OR if you want to switch subjects do topic A-A-B and then the contact info. Otherwise they'll think you were just playing games to get their attention.

Hope that helps
