| You bring up some good points - which are true. You get real life flakes, you can e-mail more women online, if you live in the boondocks then online also works.
I should have been a little more clear where my stumbling block is and its after I number close online. May as well be a number close at 2am in the bar. Out of my most recent e-mail group I had two numbers. These flakes are very common when I close from online.
Here is my entire process - taken mostly from Lamont's the online Game, D'angelo material and Savoys Magic Bullets:
[brackets indicate a unique line or words]
****DO NOT use this in the Minneapolis area - we will be sending duplicate e-mails and look like spambots******
****Further: Do not just copy paste this: reword it and then do so. Otherwise you and every other Jack Dick and Harry will be sending the same game and it you will see bad results****
E-mail 1 : Subject: Hey [most defining characteristic, preferably in a funny way]
Example: for a woman who really likes animals "Hey Dr. Doolittle"
Thats funny that you are into / like / do [this activity because so do I].
Example: active chick "Thats cool that you are into rock climbing and pilates - I actually started a bodyflow class which is a mix of yoga and pilates and I love it" Basically find a commonality for the opener and build it - you share common interests and are similar. Helps as always to be playful and cocky but use emoticons if doing so as that will backfire on you like a mistress on Tiger Woods.
Now the hook - here is an old one i retired but you can get the gist of it: "but, I think you might be able to answer this: If a girl has pictures of her and her ex up that may be a little intimate on Facebook, does her boyfriend really have the right to get all whiny and crabby?" DO NOT USE THIS! it was retired because they say you are not over your ex but I did number close a model on this one. Bottom line think of a juicy, drama filled opinion opener. Go watch an episode of gossip girl if you are really that dull. Plus Serena is totally boneable.
>>E-mail #1 Example:
Subj: Hey Lance Armstrong
Thats pretty cool that you do bike racing - I just came back from taking the Iron range course last summer and it was fantastic. but (random question), I think you might be able to answer this: If a girl has pictures of her and her ex up that may be a little intimate on Facebook, does her boyfriend really have the right to get all whiny and crabby?
>>Notice how I parenthesized (random question). You do need a transition or they'll say man thats random - why are you asking this blah blah blah.
At this point like fucking clockwork - they respond back. But more important than the message is a killer profile - namely nice pictures.
E-mail 2: [yeah, I agree with you in a way, just fluff it up for one line. Just move on and transition, doesnt matter!] Hey, I really wanted to talk to you more and ask you something else but I still have a TON of stuff to do before I fly out to [cool, hip city] tomorrow. Don't forget about me!!!
If they reply back to this e-mail you WILL get the number.
E-mail 3:(Wait 1-2 days, you are on a vacation remember) You didn't forget about me did ya? So I went to Dallas to get warmer weather and I get snow! But my friend made it up to me by taking me to a place where Owen Wilson always eats so I forgave her haha! [Then Custom cold read]
I'm not SPAM my custom cold read technique. You really want to know watch the movie 16 blocks and look for Mos Defs lines and thats all I am saying.
OK pirate - it may actually not be 3 e-mails now that I run through it - I wasnt counting vacation as one since I just copy / paste that right in. (all of them actually). Also to note, if their response #1 is highly receptive, skip vacation routine and move to your cold read.
E-mail 4. You have by now successfully cold read their personality, showed you share their interest and DHVd and proved your scarcity by going on a vacation. If you feel confident just say: hey I'm way too busy for e-mails - how about I just send you a text and you give me your number? Or if you still believe you need comfort:
The 3 question number close: [after the cold read reply fluff] tell you what: how about you ask me any three questions which I pinky swear to answer completely honestly and if you like what you hear then I get your number, sound fair??
There you go. If for some reason you still dont get their number, deliver yours and say: I'm really too busy for all this back and forth heres my number 1234568888 for when you change your mind and get bored of these other freaks and geeks. Later.
Additional notes:
place your name as a signature in your first or second e-mail so they are talking to Tom and not BlueBalls-998877.

So there is my method - which BTW Lamonts Online game doesnt bother what to do on e-mail #2 other than act congruent. Just says to get the # as quick as possible. No help from that e-book what so ever. Because I'm thinking he actually doesnt have a turn key approach. "Gurus" lol.
But even though I can now usually get 2-3 # closes per 5 messages sent - it still doesnt help with the flakers of when it comes time to hang out.
What do you think? Not enough comfort building happens over the phone? Usually I call a few times in between texts because I put a lot of TLC into the 2-4 I'm gaming at once....should I just call once? I don't know. All I know the 4 approaches IRL worked better than the multiple approaches online.
