Internet Dating Part 2 - Maximizing Your Chances Online

In the last article, we went over some of the disadvantages of Internet Dating, and while those pitfalls may make it seem pretty difficult, we've got tips here that will make it possible to put your best foot forward. Follow these suggestions to maximize your chances at finding love on the Internet.

- Don't put all your eggs in one basketcase: Competition for women online is fierce, and because it's very likely that she's talking with 10 other guys, you should be talking with 10 other women also. Many times, you'll find that women flake and just stop responding, or when you meet them, literally 9 out of 10 look nothing like their pictures. If you're always chatting up multiple women, you've always got options. Sure, you'll have your favorites, but the key is to never get hung up on one woman. And what if all 10 are beautiful, fun, and interested in you? Well, I would say that's a pretty nice problem to have.

- Show that you're in demand: Your profile pictures should show you in the company of other people, hopefully beautiful women. These are to show that you're a popular guy, and you like to have fun. Why pictures with beautiful women? If you give women a reason to believe that other women like to hang out with you, they will wonder if they shouldn't want to hang out with you as well.

- Speaking of profile pics, do not put up a shirtless pic: Even if you have the world's greatest abs, don't shoot that shot of yourself in the mirror. Why? Many women see this as trying too hard, the Internet equivalent of flexing your bicep to point out where the bathroom is. If you do have the world's greatest abs, a better picture would be the one where you're at the beach with your friends. That way, your shirtlessness will look more natural.

- Keep the business talk at work: Your tone in email should be playful, maybe teasing. Talk about outlandish things. Make jokes. Tease her on the clothing in her profile picture. Treat emails as if they were every day conversation, and leave the "Sincerely" and "Best regards" at work.

- Cut to the chase and get off the Internet: Always try to end the email or chat conversation and get her phone number. It's simply too hard to convey personality or ooze sensuality through reading and writing. If you've done more than 10 emails going back and forth, it's likely that you're now in the "friend zone" or a cybersex buddy: one that she'll never meet.
