I’ve always wondered how much database integrity online dating websites maintain. It would be very easy for an insider with a grudge or a boner to do the metaphorical equivalent of downvoting any one particular user’s profile. Now a reader writes to fuel my suspicions:
An ex of mine, who is/was merely an active OkCupid user, once gloated to me that she was given administrator access, ability, and privilege at the site, simply for being a cool femme type. Of course our side doesn’t get gifted with such love.
Her suggestion was that, if I ever got back on after we broke up and started scoring poon again, she could look in on me and invent ways to harass me.
Worthwhile intel for the Chateau. Wonder how pervasive that sort of thing is.
I can believe this. Imagine the hard-up nerdlings that code and administer dating sites. One of their cute babe customers gets in contact with the denizens of the IT deep. Falling over themselves with glee at having secured the (faked) attention of a non-fat whale for once in their lives, and recognizing the awesome power they wield within their manboobed, pinched milieu, they’d probably bend over backwards faster than a prepubescent Chinese gymnast to shower her with Gifts of the Honorary Vagi, which would include supersecret access to all sorts of supposedly well-guarded user data. Never underestimate the rapidity with which an undersexed nerd will give away the farm and betray his principles for a cute girl with a flirty vibe.
So, is it pervasive? Who knows. Is it probable? Yeah.
Online dating is really a shit show for (non-gaming) men. Besides the back room subterfuge and the cosmically awful ratio of men to women, you also have to deal with blowback effects from profiles that stay up after you’ve met and banged a girl. Why would a man feel like putting time and effort into a girl he’s banged when he sees her continuing to log into her profile? Online dating may streamline meeting girls feeding girls attention, but it also undermines investing in them. It’s the perfect vehicle to distribute the products of the 21st century mating market.
While online dating websites are not my go-to sexonomy, there are ways to sufficiently exploit their information asymmetries and competitor contrast opportunities to get laid fairly regularly off of them. Reader “A. Veidt” offers an example:
I’m a skeptic of “online dating” (even the term is a contradiction: dates do not happen outside of tactile range), mostly because I think chicks lie in their close-cropped five-year-old profile pictures. But I also go where the pussy is, and increasingly, it’s possible to find some decent women on free sites like OKCupid. And anyway, sometimes I’m bored at work.
The key to getting a decent return on investment is to invest as little as humanly possible in any one girl until you’ve got a phone number and a firm commitment for a time to meet up (in your neighborhood, somewhere quiet and cheap). Girls on these sites get ridiculous numbers of messages, and I’m convinced that’s why many otherwise sort-of-attractive women (who surely don’t need okcupid to get men) sign up: they love the one-way, no-commitment flow of attention. Log in once a week, read your adoring fanboy mail, and log off without answering any of it. What could be better? It’s like having a Dial-a-Beta.
As a consequence, messaging girls with the standard shit is a waste of time. “Hey, you like Perks of Being a Wallflower? Me too!” Give me a break. They’ve heard it all before: every piece of information in their profile has been used by some sad sack to try and open them. So, instead, I wrote a stock opener that I use on literally everyone. It saves time. Log in for five minutes a day, paste this to five chicks you think are interesting, and move on with your life. Plus, it’s unusual, so it might knock an attention-seeker off her pedestal and get her to (even though she hadn’t planned on it) actually write back. Here it is:
SUBJ: the bet
“so, obviously you’re aesthetically interesting, but a buddy of mine was looking over my shoulder just now and claimed that – without a doubt – your profile was written by a guy; he says any profile with so little information makes him suspicious. [EDITOR’S NOTE: change the part after the semicolon as needed. it doesn’t matter what it actually says. don’t make it complimentary, and don’t get specific. if it’s a confusing non sequitur, so much the better. run, hamster, run.]
he claimed that there were a million dead giveaways. I came to your defense, of course, but it got a little out of hand and now we’ve got a $20 bet going as to whether or not you’re really a girl. so, just between you and me, am I about to lose $20?”
It seems retarded to me, but it keeps working. I think girls love the unusual nature of the accusation and relish the chance to prove themselves; they like the framing of a guy who’s hanging out with his friends and not sitting around lonely at home; and, of course, it’s a neg. That’s why it’s important not to compliment her except in the most oblique and ambiguous way (“aesthetically interesting”—you may have to tone this down for the stupider chicks. sometimes I use “interesting looking.” don’t say pretty.)
I sent that message verbatim to a girl today and got the following response back within hours:
“Without a doubt, more than anything I know, I am 100% female. My profile was written by me, sincere and honest.
Meaning, if this bet is real, your friend lost $20 and you should take me out for a drink with your winnings.
:)”
I have gotten this response back close to verbatim many times. “I’m a girl! Tee hee! Use your winnings to take me out!” After this, game as normal; get her phone number, meet up within a couple of days, and treat her like any other chick. (Which means, don’t actually start serving up drinks from your fictitious winnings, of course. You would, but you lost that $20 back to your buddy—it’s sort of an interesting story actually . . .)
(Two pics of the girl, who’s 23, are attached; I’d ask that you not use them on the site, but I figured you need some way to judge personally whether this just works on fatties and uglos.) [ed: the chick is a cute, slender blonde.]
Anyway, I don’t want to see the world oversaturated with this opener, but there are so many retards on OKCupid that I don’t think it’ll be a problem. Girls join the site every day and leave just as regularly; there’s always fresh blood. Plus, after biting Style’s material for years, I figure I should give back when I stumble upon something that works.
Any Chateau readers out there have similar low-investment, high-yield material for sorting through the bullshit on online sites?
The floor is open. I believe there are online game techniques in the archives of this blog as well. FYI, I’ve used the “are you really a girl?” line once on a girl I was picking up through a dating website. It wasn’t calculated game so much as a glib throwaway joke at her expense, but she did respond with glitter and confetti popping out of her vagina. Chicks love having to prove themselves to men. When they are in the defensive crouch answering your challenge, your perceived value experiences a passive rise. That’s because girls will appraise men to whom they have qualified themselves as necessarily being worthy of their sycophancy.

What it comes down to is that women are terrible long-term planners and thus terrible investors.
For women do not operate in the realm of abstract, exalted ideals, but rather they operate in the realm of gina tingles and butt tingles. The ancients realized this in their Great Books and Classics which exalt Zeus, Moses, Jesus, and Thor over a woman’s butt tingles.
A woman’s greatest asset is her youth. With it, she can gain her way into an exalted mythology of wife and grandmother. But too, too many women waste it on pursuing the imediate gratifiction for their butt tingles and gina tingleszlzozlzolzozlzozo.
Then, they hit 30, and their tinglez tingl gina tinglalzizyzzizlz and butt tinglelzlzlelele aren’t so great anymore. But by the time she hits 30, her greatets asset is gone.
Today’s Bernanke elders smile upon this, as the depopulation of the responsible class is achieved. Ben Berannke rubs his hands and smiles, creates a few more debt-based dollars which men must some day pay off, and funds more feminist studies with it.

3. changing their mind after they commit
4. taking a man’s children and assets after they commit
5. giving their gina and butthole freely in their youth, as they are desouled
6. after giving away their gina and butthole for free, trying to charge an enormous amount for it, after they are loose and gooey and oozing with stds
7. cheating on men as never before, before, during, and after “holy” matrimony
and then,
and then after all this,
women and their socon scheisters tell men to “man up”
and get married

She had chores to do, so she setup a new Hotmail account and just uploaded a nice full length photo of herself, then went to do some laundry and came back about 40 mins later to check her email, then add some content and a title to her profile. She found that she couldn’t get into her Hotmail account, and called me to offer some advice. I realized the error message she was getting was her account was full – so she had received over 200 emails on a Saturday morning in 40 minutes?!
She read a couple of emails, then decide not to bother reading the rest, and deleted the account.

Logged in the next day and there were over 1000 messages. That’s not a typo. I’ve seen a few women’s profiles on there where they post a screenshot showing their message count, it’s nearly always over 800 with some annoying caption underneath like “OMG guys all these messages in a few days, chill out!”.

The funny thing? They all seem to think they are unique snowflakes but they are all so similar.
Then I started looking at mens profiles, seeing if I could also group men into just a handful of categories like women I was going to go to 100 like I did for women but I stopped after about 15-20 or so because there were no patterns. Men were all over the place, every different profile had a totally different profession, interests, backgrounds . Men swayed wildly in intelligence from really smart to really dumb as well.

@Tea,
When I was into the Online Dating thing I noticed the same pattern. It seemed that girls were borrowing/plagiarizing their competitors profiles for stuff to say – or else they all attended the same profiling writing seminar, or some such.
I looked at guys who might be competitors of mine, and they too had similar profiles, though not so much in lock step as the girls.
For instance I remember nearly everyone said they just loved “David Sedaris”, and similar brands etc…
So all you need to do then is be different from the herd.
My profile challenged girls reading it to measure up on a number of scales to see if they might be suitable for me – there was no supplicating, or anything else like that.
Like the 2nd case study above, I used a “form letter” approach, changing one or two words, like girl’s name and such. The email was short and all it did was try and elicit some response. If I got a response back, then I pressed to meet for a “coffee date”, nothing else – no small talk, IM’ing, phone or whatever.
The biggest factor for me being successful online was, my “disruptive” profile, my very targeted marketing – using very specific search to narrow down what I was looking for.
So for instance, there 5-10 million Match users, but after I put in my search criteria, I narrow it down to about 150 targets. Then send our about 5 emails per day, setup a few dates for week days and go from there. It never took me more than a week or so to get laid.

I wonder how many girls (because all of them say this) who say “no shirts off, mirror shots plz, OMG yur so douchebag lolz omg.!” are actually quite receptive to the six pack abs self-portrait?

Maybe its just me, but I get the feeling that online dating really skews women’s perceptions of their own attractiveness. Whereas I’m able to score pretty decent looking girls in real life (7s and 8s), I rarely get a “wink” or message from any chick better than a 6 online. Everytime I get a message from a sub-6 I want to go kill myself.
The other possibility is that since online profiles only give girls photos and a very brief bio in which to judge status, they hypergamously rank the guys according to their photos since that is basically all they have to go on. I would say that if your looks are your best attribute, online dating is probably an easy way to go. For everyone else, you are likely decreasing your market power with online dating.

“Maybe its just me, but I get the feeling that online dating really skews women’s perceptions of their own attractiveness.”
I’ve been ruminating over the same thing for a while now. I had hypothesized whether the online dating and social media revolution is over-inflating — and perhaps greatly — the self-perceived mate value of women that are heavy users.
There is already data in the empirical literature corroborating that individuals are able to appraise their own mate value over time — via experiences on the mating market. Evolutionary psychologists David Buss and Todd Shackelford also recently collected data from married women on their mating preferences, and had a panel of independent raters assess their overall attractiveness. They found a correlation between overall attractiveness and choosiness on all relevant mate preference criteria, save for intelligence.
Additionally, Buss and Shackelford provocatively went a step further by taking stock of additional data available on this issue in the wider literature and postulated the existence of a cognitive adaptation in women designed to set their mate preference aspirations according to their own mate value; that is, to become increasingly choosier — entitled — in proportion to their own attractiveness. (For a lucid visual of a highly entitled woman, quickly picture the prototypical young club vixen or equally young hot waitress strutting about.)
Applied to the online dating and social media revolution, the potential upshot is that, given people’s (read: women’s) ability to appraise their own mate value in accordance with real-world feedback on the mating market, and given, more specifically, that the evidence supports the existence of an innate cognitive adaptation in women tying their own self-perceived mate value to their attractiveness, it is certainly possible that the veritable torrent of adulation, supplication, and compliments received by women online is up-regulating (increasing) their self-perceived mate value.
It is not a far-fetched idea, and it is in line with the many other runaway processes we find elsewhere in the modern world: ancient adaptations interfacing in dysfunctional ways with evolutionary novelty (i.e., pornographic images stimulating men’s mating psychologies; metabolic- and appetitive-related genes driving people to both over-eat and eat unhealthy, refined flour, high sugar and high fat foods, inter alia).
Such underlying mate value appraisal mechanisms could very well be unable to distinguish the difference between real-time feedback, on the one hand, and artificial cyber obsequiousness delivered en masse from adoring betas, on the other. Needless to say, it would not be in the long-term benefit of these particular women (a growing number, at that, given the increased popularity of these platforms) to be walking around thinking they’re Giselle Bundchen in her prime, despite being de facto 6s and 7s. A 6 walking around believing she has the mate value to land an alpha male 10 for a committed long-term relationship is setting herself up for life-long loneliness.
So far as I know, this hypothesis hasn’t actually been tested yet. I’d imagine it’s only a matter of time before someone runs the test and collects data (there are already quite a few studies of online dating behavior in the literature).

If it’s an initial message and she doesn’t respond, don’t be afraid to send a single follow-up. Don’t apologize for anything you said in your opener of course, all the other standard email/texting rules apply. Two reasons: first is that sometimes you can demonstrate a whole lot more creativity and contrast in two messages than one, and also some girls just don’t respond unless they get at least two messages from a guy. Multiple girls have admitted to me that they use this rule and their friends do too.
Yeah it sucks but then that’s the nature of online dating.

Yes. Guarantee that the ones worth banging would soak themselves over a hard body messaging them. OKCupid asserts as much, check their blog archives. I guarantee that you could control for this: hit the same city with 2 profiles using identical intro emails sent to 2 (distinct) groups of 50 women. Use identical profiles except for the pictures, one a hot guy, one just average. Want to bet $20 on who gets more responses? Want to double down that it’s at least a factor of 10? Want to double that that the hot dude might not even have to open anyone? With good enough pix, I guarantee the ladies would be delivering their box into his inbox.
As far as superuser access, the site used to be a lot more freewheeling. Now that they’re owned by Match, I imagine they’ve stopped that. Also, there used to be “flagmods” and forum moderators who were ordinary users with some moderation privileges, so this chick may have just had a highly elevated view of her influence on the site.
As far as attention, I made friends with one girl from a site and she once remarked to me that it was amazing the attention she got, and she was, by her own admission, very, very average (and that’s being a bit kind). She put herself out there as a little bit slutty and the betas were killing themselves to get at her.

I’m that guy who has a profile up every three months for 10 days, then deletes it. I can’t tell you how many girls I’ve seen in 2012 that have had a profile up since 2010.
To me, online dating is for when you move and lose a harem, or you travel a lot like me, and your harem starts thinning. It’s a great way to boost your numbers without a lot of extra effort, but like I said, it’s a pain in the ass if you take it too seriously.
One thing I haven’t figured out yet is why I can bang a 9, and be blown off or flaked on by a 5 in the same week, then a month or so later (with the same profile) have to settle for a string of 6s.

The only absolute I have discovered about OkCupid messaging is this: there are no absolutes. There is no pattern, no magic bullet, no low-investment high-yield solutions. Sometimes clever one-liners or routines like the above work, sometimes elderly game works, sometimes sincere messages work. I’ve had success and failure with all kinds.
OkCupid’s founder has publicly stated that, on average, only 33% of messages are responded to. So I would really be curious to hear from anyone that has a substantially higher response rate than average. Just because your skit worked on a few cute girls doesn’t exactly mean it’s worth waving your dick; I want to know how many other girls you burned through to get those few responses.

Yeah that’s just an average. While I generally agree that there are no tricks, I’ve definitely found my response rate with HOT girls is much better when I at least use some tactics. Before developing a strategy, it was slim pickings from the attractive girls, occasional attention from a 7, and the rest were plain or angle-shots.
My advice:
Start simple conversations that are low-investment for both of you. Avoid boring interview questions, use as much humor as you can manage. If you take a cue directly from her profile, make it creative.
Have solid logistics and be ready to close (at your convenience) as soon as she shows more than a token interest but not before.
Use a rating tool to find your best face shot and make that your main picture so that she’ll click on it when it shows up as a thumbnail. For the rest of your pictures, demonstrate high value (hiking shots, water-skiing, out with friends, whatever active stuff you do).
Only message girls you want to bang (unless you want to politely reject the rest)
But I still have no clue on the profile fields. I’ve put all kinds of random shit there and nothing seems to make a difference. In fact I’d say the best tactic if you can manage it is to change it frequently. This makes you show up in the recent activity section and you’re more likely to get hits.

But there are so many fish here in LA that it isn’t really necessary to chase something that ain’t workin, not when you’ve got two more girls lined up that weekend.

I usually see her when I’m in my easy chair reading a book and she walks by to go to the ladies room or the break room. She works the cash register and I never buy anything (broke as hell). Neither place is a club-like environment, nor even a street, day-game type of enviro. What is the best way of approaching these girls?

Use this to your advantage. This is what I used to do. When you see her walking by for a bathroom break, do the following. Say “Hey!” as if you’re gonna flirt. Keep that mood when she says hi back. When the time comes that she’d expect you to ask her out, surprise her — tell her you forgot your wallet (or money), and you’re short for coffee or a snack, so can you borrow a buck? You need to do the latter with sort of a sheepish “aw shucks” expression. Set this up so she anticipates one thing but gets another.
If this works like it did for me, she’ll laugh and give you the dollar (you can make this a quarter if you’re uncomfortable asking for a buck). Either way most women like to help out. This, then, opens the floor for fun conversation from which you can escalate. She’ll probably see you again and make a crack about you being a pauper and you can quote Shakespeare “Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” You can pay her back with “interest,” asking her to coffee. Take it from there.
I used to actually do this regularly in my college dorm. We had a vending machine in the lobby and I’d make like I was gonna chat up a girl, then spring on her I wanted Combos or a Three Musketeers. Sometimes we’d end up sharing the snack.
One time at a Fourth of July celebration I mooched a girl’s snack, then her beer, then jokingly asked if I could borrow $20. Her response? “Only if you spend it on me.”

How about a program like this to extradite the process…
A script crawls the OKCupid(or whatever dating site) for broads in your area. It extracts all the pictures of girls within a certain age range. It then presents those pictures to you rapid-fire with two buttons labeled “Would bang” and “Wouldn’t bang”. If you select “Would bang” it automatically sends out a proven boilerplate like the one prescribed in this article. You could check out 50+ profiles in a minutes this way.
When a girl replies, you would be alerted through email to review her response. You could then choose between some automated boilerplate responses to common replies to your initial message or write a custom message if required.
Then plow.

True story, about 6 months ago I did an interesting experiment where I took photos of an attractive slender girl off Facebook, and posed as that woman on POF dating site. I wanted to see how much attention these girls really get, as I myself had a free profile up on the site but had received no messages from chicks, only gay dudes.
Holy smokes, about 3 messages per minute came tumbling in for the first hour. I woke up the next day and saw over 150 unread messages. Pretty much all from unoriginal beta chumps who all say the same thing.
Again, I had my profile up for 3 months and had NOT ONE message, and I’m a clean, above-avg looking dude.
I totally agree this is a huge ego boost and there’s likely many many women who use online dating just for this aspect alone.
It’s mindblowing the differences in experiences young men and young women have in society today. I don’t think most men could even comprehend getting that much attention from the opposite sex over the course of 10 years, let alone one day.
Young men are completely shat on, told they are expendable for wars, that they should work 60 hr weeks to provide for a wife who whored it out for every thug du jour in college, that they should beg for their two pence of pussy, that they should pay tens of thousands in taxes every year to redistribute to single mothers who acted on hypergamous impulses but who still continue to ignore the hardworking 35 yr old who would give up all his money to have any sort of female attention or family.

I call it scaling illusion. Same thing happens with resumes. 5 applicants and 5 jobs = 25 resumes. 100 applicants and 100 jobs = 10000 resumes. Each hiring manager thinks they are sitting on a stack of 100 resumes. The resume represents respectively 1/5 to 1/100 of available man power but those who have little experience in the matter may not know they may not even be in the market any longer. Same thing with women. Men issue their attention in these fragments, and now that they can mechanically reproduce it, women are sitting on a big stack of fractional male attention.
I believe I have a high success percentage in many of the things I have attempted because I never just played the game straight when it was rigged against me. I fucking hate house rules and gambling with my own money. I don’t even care much for a fair fight. It does not take long to take loses on a 50-50 chance. Go with your edge. If you gotta, go where the game is rigged against them like an American overseas or ball room dancing.

In terms of opening a chick on OKCupid, just don’t be like the herd, and try and be a little creative.
So for instance I opened a minor porn star with,
Me: “Have you ever thought of working on the other side of the camera, like doing some production work?”
PS: “You’re the first guy who has asked me that! Usually guys ask me how big my ass is, or do I do anal”
Me: “We’ll talk about those issues too… just not now…”
PS: “Okay! (laughing)
The chick lived in CT and wanted me to go there to meetup, but I said no way, she’d have to come to the city to meet me. Two weeks later she did, and called me to say she was with a gf at some bar in midtown, and they had a hotel room. That’s when I chickened out, as I decided that I didn’t really need to fuck a pornstar. But just to keep the channels open, I said my daughter was sick and so I couldn’t meet her. She liked me even more because of that, and kept in touch for a month or so. Then she moved to LA, in with 2 gf’s of hers, who happened to be major porn stars. Better still she invited me to come visit them, but again I declined – not really my cup of tea.

Did you notice this change in male attention?”
Obviously it only applies to natural red heads but as I (and I think most men) have a thing for them it’s a good way to open them. Even if you send it to a girl that has dyed her hair red/ginger she will usually respond and then you can ask if she noticed a change after dying it.

Ive been on okcupid before, its pretty decent, they have it dressed up to attract women with personality quizzes and articles, and a girly design of the site which makes women want to hang out, not like say plenty of fish that kind of looked like someones basement. The best site ive used though is one called militarycupid (Im not in the military). To me the methodology they have is the genius part. Basically to contact a member you have to pay a monthly fee, so generally speaking its almost all men who pay and women hang out and meet men for free. Now there are about equal numbers of mens and womens profiles, but only about half of the men are paid and can send a message or talk…so all of a sudden the women actually have to work for a guys attention(game concept – women like a challenge not a sausage fest). Add that to the fact that it is an interesting type of woman who is turned on by men who are willing to die for their country (a lot of nurses and southern belle big family types), and you have an excellent site for meeting women no excessive work or canned lines needed. And I think the military guys on there seem to have no game so a person can really stand out. The big negative is that people tend to be far away. I dont use the website anymore because I still prefer foreign women, but I was impressed with the quality of the women and how well the concept worked. im 34 and I was talking to all kinds of hot 18 years olds which are usually the hardest ones to get the attention of on sites like okcupid.

This is pretty similar to some ideas I’d had for a dating website. Except I’d envisaged joining the site as being free, and then there’s a monthly/daily limit on the number of messages you can send (based on the number you’ve recieved), and the number of messages you can recieve (based on the number you’ve sent). This would hopefully discourage girls from hanging out there and recieving adoration from fanboys, because if they never reply, other prospective suitors get a: ‘this person cannot recieve any more messages as their reply ratio is too low’
I notice OkCupid have introduced a ‘lite,’ social-enforcement version of this, where girls have a little dot next to their profile which says how likely she is to reply to messages. Most girls it’s red: ‘very unlikely to reply’.

This is the second time shyness has been commented on. I’ll reply here. Online is the perfect place for a shy person because it takes most of the nervousness out of meeting new people. An introvert could be a quality person but just not into the standard social scene, or have other obligations that prevent them from joining in.
Much of what is being written here is to advace things as quickly as possible. And if your goal is something for that night or fairly soon, I suppose that’s the route to take. But, if you are really looking for a quality girl, you’ll have to put in time getting to know her.
Shy/quiet girls are more likely going to be the ones who have the traits of loyalty, sincerity, etc. that you are looking for, so it might be worth putting in the extra effort if that is your goal. Hesitation to toss out phone numbers like beads at Marti Gras or meet in person quickly should actually be an indication that you’ve stumbled upon someone worth knowing, not that they aren’t interested.

I have had zero success with o.k cupid. It’s much harder to even get girls to respond back to an email. With plentyoffish I have pulled a few numbers but never worked up the nerve to call the girls (more like high standards amirite).

So I admit it; I copypasta’d this and it has gotten me more responses than writing my usual beta-style, hand-crafted messages. But I’m at a loss for how best to follow it up. At 43, after a 20-year marriage, I’m working hard to de-beta myself but man, there is a hell of a lot to learn. Tips welcome.

This blog’s archives is a great place to learn game. For starters, have as a background mindset to pretty much do the opposite of what feminists (except sometimes sex positive feminists in a few areas) say is necessary.
Playful teasing, called negging in game circles, is the ticket, with more of it the hotter she is and or she thinks she is. Also a sense of bemusement towards women, and never supplication. Have the girl buy you the first drink, or at the least say “I’ll get this round, but you get the next. What are you having?”
For starters do a google site search here on “Relationship Game Week Dave from Hawaii”. Oh hell, here you go:
https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/relationship-game-week-a-readers-journey/
Then read the prior post in that week: agree and amplify. Then read the rest of the week.
I realize you sound like you’re dating rather than in a relationship, but he relationship game week is some of the best succinct basic game, rather than lots of emphasis on bar pickup etc.
Then I’d start with Heartiste’s archives beginning at the start of 2008. 2008-10 was probably the strongest freshest parts of the blog, and the most game dense, not that it isn’t often still good.

Got some pretty negative/defensive response. I guess shit would be different if my pictures where more alpha.

“What I like “most” about that Deathstroke cover: There’s the teeny-tiny head, nonsensical muscles and stumpy legs, incompetently drawn sword AND gun, pouches and pouches in exchange for anything resembling actually posible posing or anatomy, and a 100% feet free cover. And yet the “artiste” felt it nessecary to add a huge, obtrusive signature. Because NO ONE could have known it was an original Liefeld otherwise.”
