Standard 'its a three legged stool' spiel. Photos, profile, and messaging. Really messaging is the easiest part. Here is a high-conversion-rate formula:
0) playful message about profile/photo
1) flirt for one or two exchanges
2) pivot to drinks. I like the highly elaborate, "Sounds like something we could take about over drinks, are you free this week?"
Photos are probably the easiest way to stand out. Most guys seem to just do the 'house selfie in a t-shirt' thing. If you try a bit harder and maybe hire a friend for a sunny afternoon with a few changes of clothes to take some creative pictures you can generally do better than 99% percent of guys in your 'range'. This is to say if you're a 7, you gotta date <=7s. This, like the speed of light, seems to be a hard constant of the universe.
- icebraining 9y agoIf you're a 7 dating a 5, didn't the 5 break the constant? Reminds me of this story: One day in September, in a conference room populated with about 25 members of the Mac team, Steve [Jobs] was lecturing on how to hire. "A players hire A players," he said. "B players hire C players. Do you get it?" Apparently not. Somebody in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, "so how do you hire more B players?" https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=How_to_Hire_Insanely_Great_Employees.txt https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor...
