Online Dating Strategies for Pittsburgh Women – What Works?
BlueEyes1962 05 Jan 2008 | : Pittsburgh Observations, Tips and Advice
When I first started on Match.com, an online dating veteran told me that it was useless to wink or email men (“if they’ve seen your photo and haven’t made the first move they are not interested”), so at the beginning I didn’t and just waited for men to make the first move.
Taking the exact opposite tactic is CUTIE, a very attractive Pittsburgh woman in her late-30′s, who gets over 1,000 winks or emails a week from men. She searches actively to find men that meet her criteria and winks at potential dates. If they email back, she immediately sets up a meeting. Because she is so attractive and accomplished – she’s a very successful professional – she will sometimes have 4 “coffees” a day and up to 20 a week until she finds the right guy.
Tactics will be strongly related to goals. Since I had no goal other than to explore dating again after 22 years, and was not looking for a something serious, my laissez-faire attitude was probably appropriate. CUTIE’s approaching finding “Mr. Right” very aggressively – She has a biological clock ticking.
