Welcome to Jason's World. This blog is a personal writing area or journal for Jason Thomas -- a 24 year old engineering student and party promoter who sometimes likes to write and/or rant about random topics without having to talk to anyone. It's not that I don't like people -- I love people actually, but sometimes it's therapeutic to just write without anyone responding. Why not talk to a wall? Well, a wall won't record what I have to say. Sometimes, this blog will work as my personal journal to record ideas or tips I have for anyone who reads this blog. I don't know how or when anyone will even get here but.. whatever.
Not for me they don't. Maybe my openings suck but I've tried every opening under the sun and only maybe 1 in 8 to 10 women actually respond.
I've tried simple hellos, starting with a generic question, starting with a compliment, using dirty pick up lines, cute pick up lines, funny ones, cheesy ones but I've found nothing that tells me, "hey, this is the way to open on a dating site." Maybe I'm ugly. Naaah, that can't be it. I'm pretty fucking handsome. I've given up on the online thing now though and gone back to randomly meeting people in my daily life but I still wonder why it didn't work for me. I have a few theories for the low success rate; I suspect that like in the real world, women have a lot of suitors looking to court them online so before becoming overwhelmed by trying to entertain every man that contacts her, she picks and chooses who she converses with. But how is that decision made? Could it be primarily off looks and the short description the website requires? Because my primary photo is nothing special and I'd say I'm pretty bad at writing a compelling description of myself. See my About Me page and you'll see what I mean. Truth be told, I've only tried one site but I believe it is one of the more popular ones online. Maybe I'll try again in the future. Who knows? How about you? Have you tried online dating? How has it worked out for you? |
