great myspace.com opener

[Soh]

It looks like everyone is using different people's material in that world, so who cares.

Deleting Your Myspace Account

[Awesemo]

this is a good opener, but i think you could phrase it a lot more eloquently.

[Soh]

that's up to you.

This is a known coversation stater / pickup line, in fact I myself have used it

Lame.

I've been thinking on this one, wanna throw it in for discussion:

Subject: Wow, I've been wasting my time till now!
Body: Cos 'now' is when I saw your picture, and read your profile!


<do your mojo here>

------
go into something specific on her profile AND/OR talk about something very, very specific on her picture.

My suggestion on the specific is compliment her on one thing, and elicit a response based on a question about this thing.

example: 'You have really beautiful eyes! Do you think they're your best feature? You must think that!'


Pick the best feature, don't just do this randomly. Try and steer away from butt, legs, breasts etc. Try eyes, hair, 'poise' (this works well face-to-face), smile, taste (for clothes etc - I doubt this'll fly with myspace though, given the awful dress sense I've seen from pics posted here [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]), and so on.


Alternatively, try and pick up something about her personality that comes across (from pic or profile), and do the same with that. DO NOT say 'you seem crazy!' if she says something like 'I'm so crazy', make it YOUR take on her, but such that she is bound to reply cos she'll have an opportunity to talk about herself.


Gimme opinions on all this please. I'm trying to adapt real-time talking to girls to myspace for the benefit of OOT, so I'm feeling my way here.

I'm also aware these suggestions seem blindingly obvious - but I've been surprised how sometimes the obvious isn't really that obvious to some [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

diebitter,

You're approach would work with girls who
-are not that hot
-are fooled by compliments like nice eyes into thinking you are a nice guy
-like sappyness

I dont think myspace is your target market for those kind of benefits. Girls on myspace that people are pursuing are the hot popular sluts. These girls get barraged by messages like this all the time. Also, you use way to many exclamation marks, a random sidebar. If you pick the best feature of these girls you will be saying things like "you look easy! you must think that!".

I think you want something very short, that will get her to look at your profile, and seperate you from the rabble. Do the opposite of every other guy on myspace to stand out, flip the script. I would try this

Subject: What?
Body: Do you always dress like that?

This approach has a three pronged effect... Not really, I have just always wanted to say three pronged. Basically, you are making her qualify herself to you. If she looks at your profile and responds, you can be guaranteed she is interested, because she wouldn't qualify to someone she thought had lower social value.

Tnx. All this USED TO WORK in real-life pretty darn well (I've been out of the game for several years), but I'd see how you just get lost in the wash with myspace.

I like your idea of 'do you always dress like that?' though. Needs some trialling by volunteers.

I was trying to think of something similar - in real-life a mild putdown of their clothing or accessories often sparks off fight/flirt ('wow, did you pay money for those earrings?' sort of thing), but can't figure out a good translate to myspace without just appearing to be insulting.


I'd love someone to try "Do you know you look easy?" though [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
