Re: MySpace Opener Theory Discussion
[ QUOTE ]
One thing I've noticed looking in the OOTiots Myspace group is that a lot of you guys have pictures of yourselves sitting at the poker table. That's really lame. You need pictures of yourself doing things other than poker. Pics with other chicks, drinking, playing an instrument... these kinds of things. [/ QUOTE ] Hmm...this is actually interesting, is this because poker is bad or because it's cliche for all of us? I mean, people at the GuitarPlayer.com forums might be saying the same thing about dudes playing guitar in their pictures. I have one pic of me playing poker, and 7 pics of other things, so I think it's balanced. |

Re: MySpace Opener Theory Discussion
A picture of yourself at a poker table will be substantially less appealing to a girl than a picture of yourself playing guitar. This is a fact.

My scanner is broke and a new one should've been here already. I could only find 3 pics of myself already up on the web somewhere. I still haven't really been sending out messages. I'm just responding to the ones I get. My Myspace plan goes into effect when I move in January...BTW, I need a lease for the Spring in Champaign, IL. |

Re: MySpace Opener Theory Discussion
bep, not too cool for school. i just thought the "inside?" thing was quite lame and not as effective as a simple hello.
for the record i asked 3 of my cute/normal/cool girl-friends and they all said it was pretty weak and they gave it a thumbs down. that is empirical evidence baby. but like i said, whatever works for you. also from the olivia fiasco i looked like a huge douche both for insinuating i bagged her when asking the initial post, and in the conversation she posted where i overly apologized (bear in mind i was trying to still salvage it at that point). but hey, good luck. |

Re: MySpace Opener Theory Discussion
It's just the tone of your posts man. You're just too damn cool for school.
I completely agree that "Inside?" isn't the end-all-be-all... |

[/ QUOTE ] Not that I'm supporting the inside? method or anything, but if the girls who received these messages knew what the purpose of the message was, they would probably say it's pretty weak too. It works because they have no idea what it means. I think it's already proven to be effective. Whether or not it's optimal is a different story. |

Re: MySpace Opener Theory Discussion
I think you hit the nail on the head there, oh big furry one.
Anything that gets her responding without being insulting is fine. Short ambiguous phrases are fine, I think, (like 'inside?') as are ambiguously-phrased questions relating to their profile/pictures (ambiguous in the sense it's not clear whether you approve or disapprove of the thing - she'll get curious and ask). perhaps some modification to that long-ass speech I posted which has some reference about her profile would be the good tack too? eg I've been with many races of chicks.... I've tasted tang in all 4 corners of the earth, and on every one of the seven seas... I have contradicted myself and still been understood.. I have <insert reference here>, But I wasted my time, cos I never myspaced you until now... eg if she likes Eminiem, try 'I have stomped on Eminem disks, and then regretted it' if she likes Brad Pitt movies 'I have watched Brad Pit get wasted and punched' and so on. |
