| Ok, so I used this message opener on what I consider a HB8. Now I didn't # close on it, and haven't heard back, but still it gave me some confidence for future potential online sarging. Just a note, this girl recently updated her profile to complain about all these creeps sending messages to her and then messaging her again calling her a b*tch for not responding. (Who does that?!) So needless to say, she had her defenses up when I messaged her. Again, I was pretty proud of pulling the convo back from the abyss. Here's how it went:
Me: After a rigorously brief overview of your profile, I wanted to let you know I have already married and divorced you in my mind. Thanks for all the wonderful imaginary memories... you will always have a special place in my heart.
-(My first name)
Her: I don't get it. If that was supposed to be a shot & if so what the objective was. Just to get that off ur chest? (Sh*t test right off the bat)
Me: Well, yeah. It beats paying for therapy, right?
Her: Real nice (I took as sarcasm)
Me: But here's the trick...I got who appears to be a very attractive and interesting lady to look past all the other creepy emails she's apparently received and respond to mine. Maybe a bit unconventional, but it worked nonetheless. So be nice, 'cause I'm fun and sometimes even charming. (So I probably broke some rules here in devulging my game, but I was trying to break her down a bit, letting her know that she could lower her defense a bit.)
Her: Very well played, micanth4716. (my profile name)
Me: Thank you. My friends call me (my real first name).
Her: Hey (my name), I'm Jen.
Me: Very nice to meet you, Jen. Let's find out more M&Ms, Skittles or Strawberries? You can only choose one, so no cheating.
So I know she read that last message, but I've not gotten a response. While I didn't close it, again, it was amazed how I was able to bring it back, not giving in to her sh*t test, getting her name and making the convo much more cordial after such a rough start.
I did end up # closing a HB5 later last night. I know...only a HB5, but I was really just testing some material and game. I probably could have closed much sooner in the convo, but again, I was in test mode for future use. So this HB5 favorited me on Match. I wasn't going to respond, but figured what the heck, right?! Here's how it went down:
Me: What are you shy or something? You "favorite" me but don't actually attempt to message me? That's such a cop out and I expected more. See you've already disappointed me before the first date and now I may have to reconsider the marriage proposal!
Her: Lol. You're funny. I'm Kim
Me: I'm (my name). So Shy Kim...M&Ms, Skittles or Strawberries? You can only choose one....no cheating!
Her: Strawberries
Me: I thought that about you.
Her: Oh really? Why is that?
Me: Well it not about food or candy at all. The choices are representative of popular personality traits in women. Let's play another?
Her: Ok Dr.(my name). Go ahead
Me: Ah, Dr., I like that! Anyway, you are by a body of water. How big is it?
Her: Go big or go home... I'm by an ocean
Me: Ok you're by an ocean. What would you do?
Her: Spread a blanket, kick off my flip flops, wade in, hop some waves...
Me: And how does doing all if this make you feel?
Her: Relaxed. Free.
Me: Excellent! So how you liking this Match stuff?
Her: Oh I don't get my analysis? Strawberries and playing in the ocean? I hate match. I hate the whole scene. I'm ready to be done with the commercial, audition, and resume dating scene.
Me: I got all I needed to know. It was fun playing along though wasn't it?! What do shy girls do for fun when they're not hating Match?
Her: You got all you needed to know? Gotcha. Guess it wasn't all bad. Live music, comedy clubs, pub with friends, ballgames, I'm pretty easy to please in that respect.
Me: Yeah you did well. So is this how you lure all of your victims into your web? Making us your "favorite" waiting for an email, then you strike!?
Her: All of my victims? Ha. No. I don't get that much opportunity. I'm also not a first to approach girl and so many are just free members who can't email, I figure if I make it known I "looked" if there's any interest I'll find out eventually
Me: Thought you should know...all my jeans fit! So I got that going for me. So besides being intelligent, witty and pretty petite (and shy), what do you have going for you? (She mentioned in her profile that "if your jeans don't fit" don't contact her, so I was playing on that and letting her know I read her profile)
Her: I'm very loyal and very honest. A man who is with me has no doubt where my thoughts and heart are. I am arm candy AND drinking buddy. I'm the kind kind of woman who everyone will say to you "Wow, she's really a great girl." (She's qualifying herself)
Me: Wow! Arm candy and drinking buddy! I thought girls like that were like Bigfoot and The Loch Ness Monster. You haven't seen them have you?!
Her: They live with chupacabra and the mothman
Me: Ah, yes you are the witty one!
Her: I got that going for me too...
Me: Ima hafta step this up, huh? Feisty with a dash of cocky and sprinkle of smart-ass. Good for you!
Her: That about sums it up yeah. I'm a good girl, I'm pretty awesome actually. But I am a firecracker. (Qualifying again)
Me: Tell you what Firecracker, I need to duck out now, but here's my number, xxx-xxx-xxxx. Send me a text with your picture, so I know who's texting me. We can pick this up again soon. (testing compliance)
2 mins later I recieved the test and the pic.
Probably took a little long to # close, but again, new to all this and I was testing some material I've recieved here. It does work!
Another benefit, is I think this online sarging is good testing ground to develop some material for actual field game. Build some confidence online, and then get to work in the field where I'm less comfortable.
Thanks for all the advice guys!
