I've been playing around with my Match profile, and I think that I've finally got it perfected. I have been contacted by six or seven different women since very early this morning without messaging them first. A couple of notes:
-I eliminated basically anything any guy would say in his profile, even if it is seen as a good thing; There is nothing about what I do for my career, my degrees, or any future plans. I did my best to paint myself as an individual and not a carbon copy of every other guy. I did this by telling stories about different events in my life and nothing more. Anything generic that I wanted to say, I tried to say it with a picture.
-Although none of my pictures are perfect, the combination of them are. In other words, I think they create the perfect picture of me. I posted myself in as many different situations as possible. I have pics of me with a suit, at the beach, at the bar, with short sleeves, full body shots, up close selfies of my face, with a pet, solo pics, and pics of me being social.
-I made sure that all of my pictures appear to be recent; nothing that would make a girl wonder what I really look like.
-I used my real name in my username. I think that it helps to paint me as a real person and not just an anonymous guy on the Internet.
All of this stuff is very subtle, but I think that the increase in contacts over the past day or so are due to the changes I made to paint myself as an individual and letting women imagine what it might be like to be around me.
ok, back to gundams like a nerd
