When it works, it works...

[Pink_Milkmaid]

So a number of us have been discussing in other threads what works for an ad to get genuine responses. A new thread was proposed. What I'm curious about is if you've had a successful "result" from an ad, what do you think worked for you? I'm particularly interested in ads that resulted in longer-term friendships, not single encounters. But if you only wanted a single encounter and got that, I suppose that would be a "successful" ad too. Share your success story! And if you have a current ad that is either working or not, feel free to talk about that too.

I'm interested in this out of an almost academic curiosity and it seems others share that same curiosity--I'm not looking for random ads to respond to on a personal level I just wanted to try again to have a *discussion* that got derailed earlier in the week.

So with that in mind, I think what works is:
--being specific
--having a sense of humor
--knowing what you are looking for, but being flexible
--sharing something more about yourself than just your current state of arousal

But what do YOU think?

It's all about what you say... and HOW you say. Always be funny or try to be " IF you can make a girl laugh... You can make her do ANYTHING "

Laughter to me is the secret weapon. Every friend I've made on here has made me laugh, really LAUGH, early on in our friendship.

Hi, after shying away from the ads due to my limited and sometimes dubious responses or lack of..
I think if i was to post another i would most definitely say what i had to say then point readers to my profile, where i would hope interested people may find the inclination to pm me..
Alas, ive resigned myself to just cruising around he threads having fun and the odd chat with those that care to interact with me.(which has also changed my initial perspective of the place and for the better)
If anybody has any pointers post them here as im sure im not the only person with this experience here

Your profile is great. You talk about what you like to chat about and your limits. You might add your age or an age range if you don't want to be specific.

I think if you have fun the friendships will follow!!!

Thanks for the feedback,i'll do the age thing today
Thanks for the thread too

 

[squirrellglider]

thank you.

Hello pink milkmaid, thank you for your thread, I am only a one day old member here, but your thread is the sort of thing I am quite interested in. I would have to agree with the observation that being able to express a sense of humour, especially at ones own expense is essential to making friends, and also I think you would be right about mentioning ones state of arousel, it would most likely be a full on turn off.

Another thread delved into the topic of whether "I'm horny, want to skype?" ads EVER work, and some seem to think they may. But if you want a genuine connection, you have to show a bit of yourself.

I think my new campaign is going to be to encourage the men of lit to FILL OUT THEIR PROFILES. Seriously, that is my #1 tip for getting replies. Be vague, be witty, be clever, but however you do it, put something up there!

When I didn't have my close friend from Lit, I created very successful threads. It was on my previous account.

For men:
1. You're highly unlikely to find a woman who is just looking to have a dick stuck in them.

2. I advise focusing on FRIENDSHIP, INTELLIGENCE, WISDOM, CHARISMA. It's like Dungeons & Dragons: The Hunt for Women edition.

3. Leave age and looks out. Be open-minded

4. Don't get on Kik, Skype, etc right away. It's always bad news bears when you're IMing a random person and not knowing where to go with it

5. Be yourself in general.

6. Don't get your hopes up. It may take many threads and many women to find a cool friend

7. Try to talk on voice at some point. Voice is infinitely better than text. Send a Vocaroo of candid rambling or something. Again, non-sexual

8. And just have fun with it. Allow people to converse in your thread. Men will offentimes try to swoop in and flirt with a girl on your thread. It's a case-by-case issue - you can either ignore them or put them on blast. It's up to you. I usually challenge them, but I can't hold my tongue regardless.


So yeah, it's not too hard. You don't need to be some crazy pick-up artist or anything. But I will say... Men on Lit are terrible about shooting themselves in thr foot over and over again, without taking time to consider how they can improve their ads. If your ad fails, try a different approach. And just remember that women are people and want to be treated with respect.

Good luck.

*with clenched fists and eyes tight shut whilst slightly shaking with immanent loss of self control* 'i must resist the temptation to use crass observational comedy' ......
Phew that was close...lol


But your right: PROFILE PROFILE PROFILE... Women too though, give us a better chance to believe your not a male posing as a female..which depending on your preference may or may not be a good thing.. Not a criticism just an observation

I think this is a great list. To the original question. Where I've gotten good responses is to tell a story. And then leave it open for them to contribute. I want that sorta interaction and engagement. Although it's too often hard to find.

YES! Give them something to respond TO! That can help. But don't send the same lengthy story as a PM to all females here (I've gotten more than a few of those). Tailor it and make sure she's interested. And yes, on hard to find.

My babygirl/pet and I have just celebrated our 6 month anniversary from her responding to a personal ad I posted here. I had gotten a few responses before her, but she and I clicked immediately!!! I know our success story isn't the norm, but it can happen!!!!

I've given up on finding any people near my area. I'm post on threads but have given up on making new threads. I think Reno is a lost lit area.

^These, absolutely. I wouldn't let somebody I don't know and can't trust past the securitiy grille in front of my door so what makes anyone think they'll get into my mind (let alone into my virtual knickers) with next to no profile details and no posts to let me work out what they're like?

Haha Yeah I haven't actually played a real D&D game, but I love Baldur's Gate which uses D&D rules and stats. When I first started playing, I was like "OMG What are all these terms - THAC0, AC, 1D6, Saving Throw, Infravision, Constitution, etc???" lol
