My profile has been up a few days now. And I am getting lots of "bites" in my fishing experiment. The messages that the guys have been using to introduce themselves or meet me, despite my challenge to them not to be lame, are alas, lame. It appears that this is the biggest challenge to men in dating on line.
The majority of the "Meet me" messages are as follows:
"Message: whats up venus this is (insert name here) lets talk"
There are several things wrong here:
1) Despite the age of texting, if you are not using normal etiquette, I (other women too) am going to think you are under-intelligent. These guys murder punctuation and never capitalize anything.
The Lesson for guys here: Refrain from using text shortcuts, ie: how u doin, or u r sweet lookin, etc. Try to show some intelligence with normal writing.
2) Where is my challenge? I am a woman looking to find a great guy! Do you see any challenge or any reason why I should reply to this type of message?
The Lesson for guys here: Never use "Hi" as a subject. And stop just saying "hi lets talk" type sentences. I need a challenge, a REASON to reply to you.
One guy tried with a "hey, remember me?" which is still as lame as hell but at least it is sort of a challenge to me to try and figure out who I am supposed to be remembering.
Bottom line, so far all have been deleted. None have shown me any reason why I should return his message. In short, despite my suggestion not to, they are all still being lame.
If you are falling into this category, this is why you are not having huge success with internet dating. If you played the game right, you could really clean up in sites like this.

The Profile Goes Up - Experiment Officially Begins
I have finished the profile, it is up and running. Let's see what sort of catch I get.
The profile looks like this, notice the challenge for men not to be lame...

What is this all about?
Well, here is another blog...
How this came to be is that a male friend of mine joined a social page network to try and get some business contacts. He stated clearly that was his intention, had pictures of he and his wife, and even had statements all over his profile that he was there for business contacts only.
What happened is that he did not get any business contacts. Instead, he receives no less than a dozen different contacts a day, all women, all wanting to be friends, hookup, and do whatever else.
He was frustrated and was showing me his page one day showing no business help whatsoever, but a plethora of women parading themselves to him for various types of "connections".
I thought to myself during this process, with this, how the heck can there be guys out there not getting any action? You can post a quick profile and in a week my friend had almost 100 women trying to get to know him.
This spurred curiosity, then this idea, thus the birth of this blog. I am going to do a live experiment, which I am calling The Online Challenge, to see what or why these guys are having such a hard time. Because as I see it, it should be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel!!!
Welcome to my little experiment. Maybe I can learn something, maybe I can share something, or maybe this will not have the impact that I am expecting. But it should be fun anyways.
