More Pick Up Artist Tips
I am a reading an article at a website called seduction tuition, entitled "Solid Game Formula for On Line Dating," by Neil Strauss. It is advice for creating an effective on line profile. Here's a quote from it:
"So I engineered the personals like I learned cold-approach game: one step at a time, until I felt it was foolproof. I can now, four out of five times, email a girl and take it all the way to the !close without a problem. "
This language is not only not romantic, it's also not sexy. Even if these guys were just lusty...they would use a lustier language. This is business. Or sports or something. This seems to me to have more to do impressing other men than with impressing women.
Here's one of the tips:
"For the picture, I don’t post an actual photo. I post a SKETCH someone has done of me. If you don’t have a friend with art skills, just get a sketch of yourself done by a street sketch artist or at a comic convention or something. This way, girls looking for profiles with photos will come across your profile, but at the same time, you’ll be able to hook them with your personality before they can just disqualify you as not being their type."
This does tell us something about audience, I guess. They are unattractive. Or they think they are. And they think women will disqualify them based on their looks. I wonder what standard they're held to?

Change of Plans (changed)
Just think about the themes we've talked about already: How we value women. How we value men. How we use gestures. The relationship between love and power.
