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

- How you can use cold reads

- The type of generic first messages to send which don't seem generic

- The fundamental difference between lavalife.com and most other dating websites

- 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 meet your standards

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

These insights changed the way I view the personals, and even helped me to better understand real-world social dynamics.
