OK, now let's get down to business. You're a man. You're horny. You're lonely. Me, too. This is our natural condition.

Man's evolution from a club-wielding moron to a high-tech cybernaut is driven entirely by his unquenchable need for YOU-KNOW-WHAT. Internet technology has been developed to help us in checking out and meeting literally millions of females around the world with an efficiency that is quite frankly astounding. And we men have responded enthusiastically to this cornucopia of possibilities. Studies have shown that up to 90% of internet traffic at any given time is sex-related. Sex sites are multiplying daily, there are thousands of sites where free pictures and videos of beautiful, young, nubile females can be viewed in every imaginable expression of sexuality. It's fun, it's great, but you want more.

You want a real woman to have sex with. And what better place to meet one than on the internet. Hundreds of "romance" sites promise you the ability to zero in on the one babe who makes it all happen for you.

Sounds almost too good to be true. . . and unfortunately, the web hasn't lived up to its potential. You are in for tremendous disappointment if you believe the hype and spam that streams from the romance sites.

This Cyber-dating Guide for Men will increase your success rate, and it will give you proven techniques for maximizing your effectiveness in your cyber-cruise for hot babes.

First, let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Rick, and I'm a veteran cyber-romantic. I've been at this game for as long as it has been around. I started with Bulletin Boards back before the web even existed. I've learned the things that don't work, so you can avoid the pitfalls that I've encountered.

But more importantly, I've found out what does work, and you can learn my strategies for success.

Why not spend a few minutes reading my story? I won't guarantee a date with a supermodel, but I can guarantee you will save hours and hours of wasted time, and I will give you tools to beat the competition.

That's right, the competition. you can't see them, you sit here plunking away at the keyboard thinking you're all alone in cyberspace. But that incredible efficiency I mentioned works for everybody else too. You have to find an edge.


Fact: The ratio of male to female at personals, dating, and romance sites is at least Five-to-One! Check these Stats!

You must have the facts to get the edge you need to beat these odds. Why are the odds in cyberspace so much worse than the real world?

Advantage: You need Rick's Dating Guide tips just to stay even.

Disadvantage: It's always a seller's market, even in cyberspace, and women have always known it. We have to turn this around.

Strategy and Tactics:

Start with the shotgun approach.

You will set up search criteria to include almost any female. This is not a time to be picky, you can do that later. The point is, that in this seller's market only about 5% of the women you contact will ever respond to your initial message. You can't waste time searching for the perfect woman until you have found a group who are at least slightly interested..

Your personal profice exists for one purpose, and one purpose only. Your profile is there to refer women to it once you have already found them. You will almost never get a woman who directly responds to your profile. Women are the sellers, you are the buyer - remember? Isn't it funny how women love to shop - except to find men.

As a test, I have set up profiles with pictures of male models who don't look too gay, with a description to fit every woman's dream man. Sensitive . . . wealthy . . .caring . . . romantic . . . wealthy . . .considerate . . . vulnerable . . . good looking, but not gay . . . wealthy . . . And the results? Zero. The "perfect man" that women claim they are looking for always strikes out. Why???? Women don't have to initiate the communication, they have guys hounding them constantly. Despite all the feminist baloney, a woman initiating sex is defined as a whore in our culture. So you have to overcome this disadvantage using mass mailings. Once I learn the keystrokes and the site navigation, I have been able to

MASSIVE VOLUME

Fact: Cyberspace is right-brain

Cyberspace is warped by the gravitational presence of Mars, giving men a huge TECHNICAL advantage over women which is reflected in the ratio of male-to-female internet activity. It works for us, it works against us. We have to learn how to take advantage of the right-brain nature of cyberspace, and at the same time, to turn the disadvantages around to work for us too.

Advantage: Cybergals can be highly intelligent. And contrary to the stereotypes about bimbos, intelligence is associated with a high sex drive in females. You will also find a high proportion of professional women. My first cyber-affair was with a doctor. The angle I used to set up our second meeting (which turned into a marathon sex orgy) was to help set up her new home computer. Afterwards she let on that it was all a setup to get me to her place for a SUPER-HUMP-A-THON!!

Disadvantage: Cybergals are smart, but tend to be nerdy, just like most cyberdudes. Let's face it, the knockouts don't need to advertise on the web to get offers. You are going to find that a lot of women at the romance sites are "slightly" overweight, plain-looking, or downright weird. But they're smart, and many of them actually like sex, but they are terrified of it, which is why they like the safety of the web. Be prepared for endless opening moves as they try to psyche you out and verify that you're not a psychopath. With all the psychos running around the web, can you blame them?

Strategy and Tactics: You have to appeal to their intelligence. Flexing your muscles doesn't work on the web. Neither does bar-room repartee. Don't be afraid to show a little creativity, women really appreciate that you are trying. Beg, borrow, and steal whatever wit and humor you can muster. You will want to set up several slightly different personal profiles on the dating service sites, to test which approach works best for you, but the overall strategy applies to the whole enterprise. Keep it brainy, witty, and literate. Use your spell-checker every time. Nothing says DUMB more than a bunch of misspelled words. My affair with the doctor didn't happen until after weeks and weeks of emailing. I would use the web's tremendous resources to research the topics she would bring up, so I could respond intelligently.

Now we have the lay-of-the-land and a couple of basic strategies. Let's put them together with some practical tactics for implementing an efficient cyber-search and the follow-up to the nibbles you will get.


Setting the Bait

We've already learned that we're going to have to go "chumming" first by sending mass mailings. But before we start, let's get organized.
  1. Pick out a few of your best photos.
  2. Use a graphics program ( I like Paintshop Pro, it's shareware, cheap, and works great.
  3. Crop the photos and resize them to approximately 150X250. Most sites let you upload photos, and you need to use them. Don't bother doing a lot of retouching, they will be so small it won't matter. Save the photos in jpg format in a folder where you'll remember.
  4. Pick a username and password and use the same password on every site.
  5. Check out the sites. These are some good ones, but most of the good free ones have long since gone to pay sites.
  6. The best sites to use are the free ones that let you mail free, and that make it easy to search and mail. Some sites have goofy setups where you have to buy tokens to be able to contact members. What a waste of time!
  7. After you find ones that work well for you, you can list the URL's, your usenames and passwords in a text file (Notepad) so you'll remember where you have profiles set up. (some sites have restrictions on passwords, and you may find your favorite username has been taken, but try to stick with one set if you can.)
  8. Set up your profiles. More on this below.

The Personal Profile

I get so bored reading the reams of mush I see in a lot of female profiles. Rule 1: keep it short, grab her attention, but don't overdo it. I get the best response with a simple "regular guy" routine. I leave things pretty vague in the "what are you like, what are you looking for" part. Put the emphasis on the Personal Statement that appears at the top of your profile page.

Strategy and Tactics

Put your email address in here. Put your Personal Web Page URL in here - and if they don't let you put in URL's , use a clever disguise - like "H_T_T_P-DBLBACKSLASH-MYURL-DOC-KOM". Make it easy for her to respond to you directly, bypassing the gatekeepers.

Strategy and Tactics. Fact of life: women use checklists to eliminate unsuitable suitors. You want to eliminate reasons for women to reject you, and you want to open up your search criteria. So - you describe yourself as a "professional", you like everything, you have lots of hobbies and interests, you PREFER NOT TO ANSWER questions that can get you in trouble, and you have NO PREFERENCE for many characteristics for the females you want to meet. If you think this is about finding that One Perfect Woman, you are wasting your time. You will search for eons and find the perfect one, and SHE WILL NOT RESPOND! Don't set yourself up for failure. These sites are set up for the "rifle approach", and that's the way most women are thinking, but you have to beat the system.

Your profile is the bait. Make your bait something that almost anybody will take. If you need to tailor your approach, there's a better way.

The Personal Web Page

I have several web pages on free sites that I use instead of profiles. Here's the trick. When you do your mass mailings, you put the URL for your Personal Web Page in the message. Now you can set it up your way. And, you can quickly switch URL's to fit the women you are contacting. This is the "modified shotgun" approach. For younger women I have a hip page with lots of trendy stuff and pictures of me in an active mode. For older women I have a "professional" page that stresses maturity, accomplishment, status and security. I use different pictures, backgrounds, and colors to create a different impression. The beauty of this system is you can use the same pages for any of the romance sites you are mailing from, and it gives you maximum control over the image you are projecting. Put an email address right at the top of your pages, and your prospects won't even bother using the dating service to contact you. You have a direct connection!

The Photo

This is more important than anything else you put in either your Profile or your Personal Web Page. It's so important that you need to consider professional help.

Get a photo that shows YOU with a KID or a DOG. Trust me. I have had several women write me and tell me something like "Your profile sounds kind of phony, but that picture of you with your (niece, dog, Santa costume, whatever) just melted me " . . . BINGO!


You've Got a Bite!

You've "chummed the water" with mass mailings, and you've used the modified-shotgun approach and multiple personal web pages to bypass the system and get a direct connection. If your web pages are well set up, you will get an appreciable boost in responses, up from the normal 5% to perhaps 7 or 8%.

Most of your responses are going to be along the lines of "tell me more". The fish are nibbling on the bait, but it isn't time to reel them in yet, they'll "spit the hook". You have to tease them, keep them interested, keep an air of friendly mystery going. Most women are looking for reasons to reject you, they are in a big hurry to find Mr. Perfect, they have that checklist, and they want to get all their items checked off. For example, they want to know that

Keep the communications friendly, but gently resist the relentless questioning, and the temptation to spill your guts with your life story in order to just shut her up for a ten seconds. You initial communications shouldn't be run like an AA meeting. You are not obligated to divulge things that are none of her business. After all, she is still a stranger. I am frankly amazed at how rude American women can be, but that's because they have been in such a superior bargaining position for so long they have forgotten basic etiquette. You can help her by politely changing the subject, by keeping an amused air of nonchalance, not acting like you are hiding something horrible, and by gently steering the conversation toward finding things you have in common. Remember, she's in a hurry to find Mr. Perfect, and forgive her rudeness.

The looky-loos won't respond after the first time, because they are looking for a reason not to. Amazing what lengths some women will go for validation of their world-view that all men are worthless horrible creatures. But if you get a second and third response, you know you're dealing with some potential. This game takes a lot of patience. A lot.


Setting the Hook

In time you will be regularly corresponding with two or three women, perhaps more. You will have eliminated the looky-loos and gals who find validation by rejecting men. But now you have a real challenge - you have to keep them interested. They may want to meet you, or talk on the telephone instead of email. Unless you have a radio announcer's voice and exceptional phone skills, RESIST THE TEMPTATION to use telephone communications!

Why? Because nothing kills a budding relationship like the telephone. It destroys the mystery. People form strong mental images from hearing a voice, and most of us have no idea how bad our voices sound on the phone. You want to be in control of your image at all times. Unless you know you have a great phone voice - avoid the telephone - it really works against image control!

You must get the woman to invest enough time in you to be able to gloss over the imperfections that would cause her to reject you without even thinking about it if she saw you in a crowd. That's right - without even thinking - because rejection, the natural response of women, is triggered by the senses:

You must set the hook - develop the mental image - using the intellect. This can take several weeks of effort, but you have to do it. I guarantee you that if you give in and call her, or even worse, meet her after the first email, you will never hear from her again. Why? It's the blind-date syndrome. She is forming a mental image (intellect), and the earlier in the game that this image is destroyed by the "reality" of hearing your voice or seeing you (senses) , the easier it is for this disconnect to cause her to respond in the natural way - by running. The more time she invests in learning about you from the neutral context of email, the easier it will be for her to slide from her mental image to a new one, one that you have helped her create.


Reel Her In

Play it right and you will have her practically begging to meet you in a few weeks. The rest is up to you. There are plenty of sources of good advice on what to do when you finally meet face to face. If you use these techniques, I guarantee you will maximize your efficiency in lining up cyberdating prospects. These Strategies and Tactics will help you to have a better cyberdating experience.

Cyberdating is a lot of work, but once I learned these basics and applied them to my search I got a much better response rate. I've corresponded with many women simultaneously, and gone through dry spells when all of them stopped writing at once. The action is better during the winter months, in summer they seem to find other things to do. I've had communications with some interesting women, and I've learned a lot.

Unfortunately, I finally got tired of the constant rejection, and especially the no-shows who stiffed me time after time. I understand how frightening it must be for a woman to go out and meet a stranger, but they could have said no at any time. It really felt lousy getting stiffed so much, so I finally quit.

Well, good luck, and if you find as I did that cyberdating just is not working out, do what I do and visit one of thousands of great sex sites all over the web. With all the money you don't spend on real "dates", you can afford to rent a good "HO" who will take care of you a lot better and a lot cheaper than those uptight bitches who don't have the guts to show up!


Internet Sex Activity Statistics

Recently I joined a website for people who want to have sex. I found some interesting facts. First, understand that this site ensures complete anonymity. Women don't need to fear being labeled a "Scarlet Woman". Here are the stats:

Put another way, these stats show that the number of females who actively want sex is about the same as the number of gay guys in the general population - about 10%. And half of them are lesbians or bi.
You're going to need help. So let's get started!
