This leads to women receiving tons of messages from guys, ranging from \u201chey wut up\u201d to something so vulgar I couldn\u2019t possibly type it here. So, how do you get the beautiful woman on OBC to notice you out of a crowd of dozens or even hundreds of messages? It\u2019s not rocket-science, just follow these three steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>ACTUALLY read her profile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not gonna play dumb and pretend you\u2019re not messaging her because her photo is BANGIN\u2019. But if you send her a generic message that seems to show you didn\u2019t even take the time to skim the 200 non-photo words in her profile, she\u2019s gonna picture you like all the other dudes &#8211; superficial, horny, and dumb. So &#8211; read her profile, pick out something that you could riff on, and put it front and center in your message. If she says she works at a vet\u2019s office, maybe say you\u2019re impressed she can work with peoples\u2019 sick pets &#8211; it would break your heart to see animals in pain. If she\u2019s a water sports fan, mention something like, \u201cI tried to water ski once and failed miserably &#8211; any tips?\u201d Make it apparent that you\u2019re not only a good listener (ahem, reader), but that you actually care enough to ask about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">her<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Unlike the other dudes rapid-firing three word messages into her inbox, you\u2019ll stand out. And that\u2019s the first step to getting a date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s her yoga headstand at Hawai\u2019i Volcanoes National Park, or the concert pics with her friends, you can instantly figure out what she\u2019s into and the kind of lifestyle she has (trust me, girls put more thought into their pictures than us guys). Is she a tatted, desert \/ river-rat who goes line-dancing every weekend in her shit-kickers? If you\u2019re not into that, don\u2019t even waste your time no matter how hot she is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s be honest, some profiles are all selfies and can\u2019t be read beyond \u201cattention-seeker,\u201d which isn\u2019t always true. So, if you must compliment her on looks alone, then find a specific trait that you honestly like about her. Keep it simple and focused. It could be her hair, eyes, lips, or even her style. Don\u2019t be creepy with the compliment though &#8212; there is a fine line that\u2019s easy to cross. For example, \u201cLove your hair\u201d is OK, whereas, \u201cI\u2019d love to wash your hair\u201d is probably too much for the first message no matter how funny you try to make it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Use words &#8211; REAL words.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this day and age, we\u2019re busy people. We have places to go, things to do, IG stories to share. This leads to an overwhelming percentage of people resorting to \u201ctext speak\u201d &#8211; shortening words to abbreviations and single letters &#8211; more often than not. If you want to send a quick message to your friend to meet you at a local bar to watch a game, \u201cc u at cal\u2019s 4 nite game?\u201d that\u2019s all fine and dandy. But if you\u2019re sending a message to a woman you\u2019ve never met on a dating site with the express intention of getting her attention and attraction, acting like you don\u2019t even have the time or effort to type full words is a total turn-off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Up!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve\u00a0 seen this situation happen countless times: A guy sends a girl a great message. She\u2019s into it, and responds accordingly. Day passes. Another day passes. A week passes, and then the guy signs back on to check his messages, and meanwhile the lovely lady has moved on to another guy who is a little more prudent with his responses. So, treat\u00a0your OBC inbox like any other e-mail inbox. Check it frequently\u2026 and better yet, use mobile version of your preferred dating site so you can check it on the go. I see you, guy playing Candy Crush for the 100th time today &#8211; why not spend a few of those bored minutes sending and replying to messages that could get you laid instead?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>We&#8217;re still knee deep in the pandemic, but there&#8217;s light at the end of the tunnel. Don&#8217;t let your dating skills get rusty! Keep checking back here for more tips in the coming weeks.
