Online dating is now one of the most popular ways to meet women.

When I started meeting women from the internet I tried many, many different things. Some things were hardcore, other things worked inconsistently, and others surprisingly well. Eventually I came up with a simple system that could be used in almost every situation.

95% of the stuff I tested became obsolete, either because it was too complicated, or required too many steps along the way.

But out of the 5% that I kept, I gained some VERY interesting insights such as:

• How writing a personal ad with just the right amount of dramatic elements can attract women, but using too much drama can attract the wrong kind

• A very simple trick you can use to see which guys are the most successful with online dating, and the types of ads they use. This powerful secret will allow you to look at a guy's ad and know instantly how successful he is

• The power of cold reads to bait a woman into talking with you, and the message sequence involved

• The type of generic first messages to send which don't seem generic to the women reading them

• The fundamental difference between lavalife.com and all the other dating websites. This fundamental difference changes the way you send messages

• The usefulness of IM and how you can easily find out what a woman is about without wasting a second talking to her on the phone if she doesn't measure up

• How the "friends" angle can potentially get a flaky woman to seduce you, using a simple email trick

It took me years to come up with this stuff, and of benefit it changed the way I view the personals and even affected the way I approach women at bars and clubs. Learn to think outside the box and come up with your own online dating strategy.
