So I found this girl online (myspace) and decided that I wanted to get to know her a little more - so I did what I usually do, I sent her an email... Usually I get no reply, or something pitiful at best, but this time around, I decided to do it the PUA way! Guess what happened? SUCCESS! In a few short emails, I accused her of being crazy, of being a 40-year-old man, of being short (she's actually 5'9''), and of being the type of person that would call me 20 times a day if I gave her my phone number. I used Mystery's line of "look around, beauty is a common. Tell me what makes you special other than your looks." She came back with a laundry list of things including that she "has brains." I made her prove to me that she had brains by telling her to "use those brains to come up with another way to talk than this slow email." She had no choice but to send me her IM information, and soon after that her phone number. I scored a date with her which I am going on tonight!

This stuff is awesome. I had no idea how effective stacking techniques could be.

Nice man. What did you open with? I'm having no luck on Myspace.

Here's my opener, word for word. You'd be surprised how many responses it gets! *Note to self, posting opener online will probably lead it to over usage - Must find new opener!

Subject: "Hey Shorty"

Body: "You remind me a heck of a lot of a friend of mine whom I am convinced is crazy! I think it might be your facial expressions. So since I already have this preconception of you, I just have to ask... are you a bit crazy too?"

OMG I'M BORING!

I never thought that kind of opener would work, so I always go the opposite. I've been going the intellectual route, LOL. I assume that most dudes go the "yo shawty" route, so I was trying to be different. I guess that made me boring. Thanks for the example man.

Well, last night's date went quite well. Ended up doing dinner and then salsa dancing. It was her idea to go salsa dancing, and I think she was surprised when I agreed to it so easily - I didn't tell her that I've gone many times before. - Could this have been a shit test that I lucked out on?

About the opener... "Hey shorty" wasn't exactly a "yo shawty"... I'm making fun of her being short when she's actually 5'9" (I'm 6'7", so I'm allowed to do that!) "Yo shawty" has some social stigma around it. See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shawty. My advice is to keep it playful, not playa.

Big ups, Union. I'll field test the technique
