Online dating can be a great avenue. Particularly meeting women you otherwise wouldn't mean in places like clubs. (However daygame you get those benefits as well) As if you are looking for a girl who is career oriented or focused, you won't necessarily find her hanging out at a nightclub. Moreover she may not be as responsive as that environment. However online dating is a skill that needs to be worked on like anything else just like cold approach. So it takes time to hone your style but well worth it. As you can have a steady stream of women always in your funnel and have "orbiters". Add to that meeting women through cold approach as well you can be more than busy.
Also the great thing about online is a woman has explicitely stated "she is on the market". Whereas on cold approach she can have that plausible deniability to protect herself and reputation. So it's easier to be on equal grounds of getting her more into being the "seller" and you the "buyer". Versus the other way around which often happens in the dating world. And typically when you get a number, the concept of being a "flake" is less since she is more invested in the process.
Online like anything else is all about standing out. For online the MOST important things first are your pictures. Have something that makes you stand out and speak uniquely to your style. A picture is a worth a thousand words. I mean typically I have women "like" my picture on the Hot or Not feature on POF. So it passively does my marketing for me. And then I just swope in for the kill. In terms of your profile description, show don't tell. Don't tell things like how you are a guy that makes people laugh. Demonstrate it and write it. You don't even have to disclose things like "What you do". Leaving a bit of mystery is a good thing.
Might want to try using an indirect opinion opener as you're opening line instead of saying "Hi". Typically I have a set of 4 scripted lines I send out. And those lines are pretty much statements which aren't actually dependant on the womans response. Based on how she is responding to those lines (Ie. how invested, how long her messages are and the value and content she is giving back) I will then either number close or be more organic and putting more thought into writing. As she is showing she is giving you something back. Typically a number close can come withn 4 messages and usually shouldn't go any longer than 10 messages. Otherwise she might just be wasting your time and seeking validation. Which is more the case of online dating with places like Tinder which require a lower barrier of entry.
To not view it as "drugery" I will usually occupy myself doing something else. As sending the initial copy and pasted scripts doesn't take much mental effort. So I can often listen to an Audio book in the background. Whether that is a general Self Help audio or PUA it makes for productive use of my time while multitasking. Again once she has shown herself worthy of going past copy and paste. It won't feel like drugery as it will be more organic conversation from there and just usually is just flirting and banter which can be fun.
Feel free to ask me any questions as I've been at for awhile and had decent success. Just keep at it
