 Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 5:38 am Post subject: My Method Online - The Second E-mail and Real-time Example |
 |
|
As a continuation of my posts concerning my online method/theory, its onto the second e-mail you send the target. Just to make these posts a bit more interesting, I'm going to try something a little bit different for this one. I'm currently working on a few HB 8's on a dating website (atleast they look that way, I'm always dubious, as stated in my last post), but for some of them I'm just about ready to send the second e-mail. So from now on, my posts will also contain my real-time game as it correlates to that post. Its very possible this specific target could go stale, as happens often in the online gaming world. But who cares, It'll be fun and I really don't give a shit if things go sour. So anyways, if you read my opener post, I gave this target my canned opener. No changes from the standard e-mail I always send out. Here's the response I got with specific personal info omitted:
| Quote: | So true, metal claws are not something I, personally, am looking for. Anyway, thanks for the note--you seem really interesting and I am pleased to find a profile that isn't devoted to love of the [sports team]. Hmmm [my grad school type]--that's pretty intense. How did you decide to follow that career path? How do I know that you wouldn't be judging my teeth if we ever met?
Well, I hope you had a good weekend--mine was fabulous but far too short. |
As you can see, the target liked my opening e-mail. This is a typical response I get. The whole teeth bit concerns my profile, and the metal claws bit refers to my opener (I get something like that almost every time). Regardless, I have formulated a response to this e-mail and am currently waiting the mandatory few days to send the reply. Never, EVER, send a reply immediately...even if she does (she did, by the way). Wait at least two days. I'll probably wait 5 days or so, but thats more because I'm busy. Anyways, there are a few principles for the second e-mail that must be understood:
1) The second e-mail is the neg e-mail. You've hooked her in the first e-mail. Now its time to playfully neg her. Call it using push-pull theory. There's a specific reason I don't neg in the opener, and if you are wondering just ask (trying to keep this post from becoming a novel).
2) Do not neg too harshly until you know her better (ie send more e-mails). Your relationship is like a frail, delicate flower at this point. Don't shit on that flower, asshole.
3) BE FUNNY
So here's my response once again, personal details omitted and commentary added to explain my reasoning:
| Quote: | | Hey. Glad to hear back from you. To answer your questions, I decided on [profession] because I realized one day that the only way I could truly be happy was to inflict pain on people all day under the ruse that I was helping them. |
Opening joke, sarcasm always works well.

But seriously, I went into it for a number of reasons that I won't get into here. In fact, I have been asked this so many times that I have a rehearsed "5 minute [my profession] sell" that I give people. No joke, in the end most people are re-evaluating their career paths and envisioning how great their lives would be if they involved [what I do]. |
Try to not answer all her questions directly. Hint that you have an answer, and that the answer is fascinating. Leave her wanting more. She'll have to meet me to find out the 5 minute sell, and thats already a conversation topic we'll have. Furtheromore, this DHVs. People WANT to do what I do.
| Quote: | | Would I judge your teeth? I'm judging them right now... |
Neg.
| Quote: | | Anyways, its my turn to ask the questions. But let me first warn you that each question is more devious than the last and in the end they will shatter your psyche and leave you a shell of your former self...or I just made them up on the spot. Take your pick. |
Totally canned neg. I used it every time. They seem to love it and it is often mentioned in her response. Sort of scares the target and gives you control...like you could actually break them down. Regardless, nobody else online is saying stuff like this to her.
| Quote: |
What's your idea of the perfect Saturday night? The perfect Sunday morning? Art museum? Real world kicking your ass yet?" |
First two questions are good ones...ascertain what she likes in a playful way (and sexual with the Sunday morning comment). Last two are negs, and they'd make sense if you read her profile.
As you can see, my negs are playful, not harsh, but they are negs nonetheless. I have ended the e-mail with questions, but they are not the standard ones like, "What do you like to do for fun."
If she responds (which I think she will), I will attempt to move into building a rapport with e-mails. That will be the topic of my next post, and I will continue to give real-time examples concerning this particular target. Rock it out, gentlemen.
