Online Dating Success…A Real-World 76% Response Rate?

Posted on December 16, 2008
Filed Under Letters From Readers, Online Dating |

OK, here it is. I get a lot of heat from certain people regarding the claim of being able to achieve a 60-80% response rate from Match.com. Apparently, some guys believe that’s a notion so preposterous as to be flat-out impossible.

Actually, some women even think it’s a bit over-the-top to expect that.

Well, let me take this opportunity to tell you I believe you can do it. Moreover, the solution is well within your grasp, courtesy of Online Dating Domination.

But hey, I can understand why some would be skeptical. After all, most guys quit online dating in frustration…never having gotten a single date from the experience to show for it.

And it’s not like that’s really their fault. After all, the way some of these dating sites are set up, it really looks like the deck is stacked against us guys from the very beginning…with the interface having been designed almost invariably to appeal to female clientele, who are always harder to get to sign up.

All in all, it’s hard to portray yourself as the man you truly are, and even harder to get the mission-critical first e-mails right.

Taking everything I just shared into consideration, I wanted to share an e-mail with you I just received from a guy who is seeing some amazing success online. Better yet, he’s getting the job done after only a month and a half.

I really love it when guys outperform my “preposterous” claims. It’s even better when they do so in record time, in a notoriously competitive metro area (San Francisco) and–get this–are meeting super hot women in the process. I deleted the screen names he provided here for obvious reasons, but I’ll tell you…this guy has very good taste.

Hey Scot,

Hope all’s well on your end as we cruise into the holidays. I have some comments and then some quick questions…

First of all, I have to say that although I’ve only been exploring it for a month now, I’m pleasantly surprised with online dating. Before giving it a go I wasn’t sure what to expect, with some people hailing it as a great weapon in one’s dating arsenal (yourself included), and others out there who complain about nobody replying and there being only fat chicks.

Thus far, I’ve seen those negatives to be totally bogus. I’m batting 17/21 (76%) for initial replies and about 11/22 (52%) that I’ve already met or appear to be heading in that direction with.

I’ve met three of these women so far this past weekend and they were all great women…very smart and looked much better than their profiles, two being undeniably beautiful, the other more of an intense “cute”.

The one I saw today was drop dead gorgeous in person and very fun and we laughed a lot, as I did with the other two as well.

The other two have already expressed interest in meeting up again, and I suspect the woman I met today will be similar. Thanks a lot for the cool ideas in your products that played a definite role in getting me thus far down the “path”.

—Michael

So there you have it. Stone-cold proof that you can get ridiculous online dating success…if you have the right plan.

And what’s up with the exact percentages? I’m grateful that you ran the numbers Michael, but I hope you aren’t taking a sliderule on dates. Considering he’s in SF, he can probably perform complex calculus equations on his iPhone anyway.

So major kudos to Michael. If you’ve got success stories, I want to hear ‘em. If your success stories still have yet to be written, I strongly suggest you get your hands on Online Dating Domination and stop putting that success off any longer.

Be Good,

Scot McKay

Like most things, dating is a numbers game. There will be some days where my response rate runs upwards of 90% and others where response rate is nearer to nil. I’d say my average is 30-40% and I don’t particularly mind this.

Online dating is lame. So much time wasted emailing ugly chubby women (and men!). I prefer to CyberDate hot models and spend my money on them instead of on dinner, drinks and roses. I would recommend that you visit a site like http://www.Dani-Apgar.com to set you up with webcams if you are a woman looking to safely CyberDate men. It’s safer than a strip club or a blind date!
