You send her an email, then a week goes by….nothing. Now what do you do?
It’s time to email her again.
Women get at least one new email per day in addition to several follow-up emails from men they are already talking to. Also, if she’s emailing men, most of them are responding, so tack on a couple of extra emails per week there.
The end result, she gets overwhelmed and forgets to email you back.
So, it’s on you to email a second time and “check in,” operating under the assumption that she was too busy to respond.
Here’s the deal, if she doesn’t like you, she’ll ignore your second email just like she ignored the first. If she does like you, she will definitely respond. No girl who is regularly logging in will ignore a second email from a guy she is interested in. However, an overwhelmed girl will ignore a first email. You have absolutely nothing to lose by emailing again.
Don’t believe me? Try it.

Teeth are one of those universally hot physical traits—unlike putting a plate in your lip or tattooing your forehead. But seriously, every girl has approached a dude at a bar only to have him smile and reveal that he was either in a brawl yesterday, is a professional skater without dental insurance, or on meth. Prove that you at least have a good dentist, even if you are a hot skater.
Crazy how simple that is, smiling = friendliness. But it’s true. And mysteriously, when you appear friendly, people are more likely to want to be your friend, and you definitely want female “friends.”
I know you don’t think you do, but I promise, you do.
When women see a picture of a guy, they imagine what it would be like if he were looking at them, and if you are frowning, they imagine what it would feel like to piss you off.
And that’s a good thing. This should actually always be your #1 priority in crafting your online dating profile. Repeat after me, “I will not look like a creep…I will not look like a creep..” Good.
Stay tuned for a post on “How Not To Look Like a Serial Killer Even If You Are.”
Pros: Easy to use and there are millions of members.
Cons: Not free.
Pros: It’s free and the members are smart.
Cons: Not as many members as match.com. Definitely not as many active females users as Match.com.
Pros: Free.
Cons: It can feel a little bit like Craigslist personals at times.
Pros: They use “science” to match you up with your anthropological match, or say they claim.
Cons: Expensive. I’m not sure their science is truly scienctific, or just a gimmick.
Pros: If you are looking for a relationship, and you want a site that does all of the work for you, this is the one.
Cons: This site is expensive and it takes forever to fill out their questionairre. It also takes forever to meet someone, yet, this is actually the point of the site—to make sure you actually want to meet the person.
Repeat after me: I won’t use overused adjectives to describe who I am.
If you had a nickel for every time someone wrote, “I am laid-back, I live life to the fullest and I’m passionate about the outdoors” in their profile, you’d be rich a rich person indeed.
These adjectives have been overused to the point that they now mean nothing and are just a waste of page space.
If you sound like every other dude, then why should a girl decide to go on a date with you when she can go on a date with a better-looking version of you? Honestly, she is thinking just that.
Here’s how it goes down, Dude A is laid-back, loves the outdoors, likes his job and has a great group of friends. Dude B is all of those things pluuuusss he has a fuller head of hair and is taller. Well, sorry guys, but why shouldn’t she email Dude B. Women are natural-born shoppers, Dude B is a better version but for the same price.
You need to be different to make her realize that you have qualities she can’t find in the 100s of other men dating online.
A deal breaker is not wanting to date someone who treats you like a wind-up doll, or someone who is a cannibal (cannibalism puts a strain on the relationshiop at least three times a day, five if you count snacks).
A preference is wanting to date someone who is 5’9—if the woman of your dreams shows up and she’s 5’4, you aren’t going to turn her away, you’d just prefer that she be taller. Now, if she also shows up with a human femur in her mouth, once again, deal-breaker.
