Online Dating: Meeting Girls On Myspace

 

There are a lot of online dating sites out there that have discussed myspace and dating. Some of this information will overlap with other dating sites but as you know, or should know, at Date Demon we strive to bring you original content. Therefore, while some of this may not be new to everyone, we at least tried to put our own unique and useful twist on it.

This is part one of the Date Demon guide for finding, browsing, attracting, and potentially dating girls using myspace. This will be a long article but definitely useful and I hope you will pass it along to your friends.

The Browse

The single most important dating feature on myspace is definitely the browse. There are a lot guys that want to know more about how to properly browse on myspace to meet women. First you need to establish the age range of girls you are willing or wanting to date. For the purposes of this myspace article, we will assume 18-35.

Browse has a limit. If you did not know, the browse feature only turns up a certain number of girls matching your criteria. You may want to meet every girl within 25 miles of you or whatever. As of now, the total should be around 3000 as the cap. With this myspace cap if you browse within 25 miles you might be missing out on girls that are within 5 miles of you due to the cap! Therefore rule #1, always search closer to you first and then expand out.

Beat the myspace browse limit. Now for most guys 3000 girls may be enough, but if this is an issue to you the best thing to do is to just segment your age range. Like if it is 18-35, do separate searches for 18-25 and 25-35 or so on until you make it under the myspace cap in each segment. Either way that is a lot of girls.

She is married?! Myspace gets a bad rep for being a haven of predators that send girls hordes of messages. Some girls because of this mark their status as married falsely to avoid those types of messages. This is great and I don’t think many people have really thought about this too much.

The best way to weed these out is usually search in the younger ranges 18-22 or so and browse by married status. Send them a message saying you can’t believe they are married so young and you don’t know how they could do it, they must have met an amazing guy or something.

A lot of the time they will respond and say they are in fact not married or maybe they are not happily married. For some guys that’s close enough. The best part is no one else usually messages these girls.

She’s 99??? On the other end of the spectrum are girls that list themselves as ridiculously old in order to avoid the creepy browse guys. The best way to weed these out would be search for like some ridiculous ages like 70-100 and sort by like single and even education. You might want to run a search from 50-99 and in college, or grad school, or whatever. Basically just treat these as you would a married search. Pretty much completely unconquered territory and not many people think of this.

Refine your myspace search. Another good way to refine your search especially if a lot of results are coming up is to go to the “advanced” tab and differentiate between the education levels. If you get a lot of results you might want to refine the education to better target a certain niche you want to talk to. If you want a serious relationship maybe you should target a more educated woman, if you want a fling maybe you should target a less educated one. Kind of evil, but you get the point.

Your Myspace Picture

This tip is actually on a lot of other websites but it is true and why ruin the one-stop-for-all-your-needs ideal of this article. Rotate your myspace picture! You don’t have to do it every day, but change your myspace picture often. This will make your profile show up sooner on the results of girls browsing since it will be recently updated and other girls might get fresh views of you they might find more attractive than previous ones. For a few other picture tips check out a previous article we did about facebook and myspace pictures here on date demon.

You Have Myspace Friends For A Reason, Use Them

Another awesome way to meet girls using myspace is just to go to your friends profiles and look through their friends. You have an instant opener and conversation topic (your mutual friend). It is just that easy. Low Risk, Low Effort.

Meet Girls At Myspace Events

I discussed this concept somewhat in my using facebook networks to meet girls article. Use the myspace event page as a tool. If you are going to an event see what girls are going and shoot them a message. You can use this to learn about new events or to check out who may be going to events you are thinking about. You don’t even have to go to the event, there is no reason why you can’t just use an event as a opener for a conversation with a girl.

The All Important Message

So if I find an attractive girl using browse or whatever then what do I say? I plan on writing an entire article or two on this in the future especially if I get feedback asking me for them. What to say and in what words to say it, gets pretty tricky. There are a lot of factors you should consider and it really matters on how much you care about rejection.

If you want to send some simple no brain message to 1000 girls and get some replies just based on statistics that’s fine. If you want to send an awesome message to 10 girls and get 10 replies that is fine too, just depends on your priorities.

From my extensive experience with myspace. Short and unique are your best bets. Check out her profile and ask her something or comment on something no one else probably will or at least not a guy hitting on her. If she is into photography ask her about it, if she has an awesome layout ask her if she is interested in digital design or whatever. Just find out something that interests her some small thing and let her talk about it. Girls love to talk about themselves and their passions. Just keep it short and to the point.

Never mention anything about her being hot, cute, or whatever. I wouldn’t mention that at all until later conversation, if at all. A short interesting question or comment almost always gets a response. I mean it matters a bit how you word it and what topic you choose but in my experience at least 70% of girls do respond. Now your results may vary but I am always happy to give some extra tips or examples.

Closing

In closing your personal profile matters a lot too, your layout, your about me, your who I’d like to meet, and all the other parts matter. This article is already running quite long though. We will probably post an article later on this. Until Then…

I stumbled upon your blog by accident a month or so ago and have found myself coming back to it at least a few times every week. You have become my favorite….

Good in depth post… you still able to work it on Myspace? 2 years ago I was cleaning up on there.. but then i feel like i got flooded wth fake profiles and hard to game.

Ive always found myspace best for keeping in touch with women i meet in bars/clubs/social scene.
its great cause you can progress the seduction slowly knowing you can always find them on myspace and rekindle

I think it really worked till 2007 or so. Now, there are so many strangers messaging to girls on all community sites (including dating sites), it became pretty hard to get a reply at all.

It is still possible, but the chances for reply became 5% from 50%. :-P I think we should try to approach girls in real life, on streets or whatsoever, because that is still so uncommon and can work much better than this.

While I will always advocate meeting girls in real life, to say that Myspace and meeting girls on social networks is pretty much done is ridiculous.

I sent out 7 messages LITERALLY last night and have already gotten 2 responses. That’s probably just the girls that checked their myspace I expect even more :)

It is not dead at all, maybe you are just contacting them in a poor way.

While myspace dating may not be “dead”, it certainly has slowed considerably. I blame the endless spam/fake profiles and stalker guys who ruined it for everyone.

I’ve met 12 girls so far off myspace in the last 15 months, and I’m actually dating one now. Some of the girls are great, some were awful. But they were most all girls that contacted me first. I easily could’ve doubled that number if I didn’t turn down big girls or girls with kids.

My best advice if you want girls to proactively contact you is find some good pictures, and rotate them A LOT. There are certain pics that worked great for me, and there is def. more traffice whenever you change your main pic.

Many of the girls that contacted me did not have “dating” turned on. That means that YOU SHOULD ALSO FOCUS ON SINGLE GIRLS THAT DO NOT HAVE DATING TURNED ON.

When you message a girl, always have a catch. I find it important to always include a question for the girl to answer, so that she feels more obligated to write back. Always thoroughly read a girl’s profile before writing her.

And finally, if you do get in contact with women on myspace, here are my general rules:

1) do not meet a girl until you have a full body shot and know her full name and get digits… too many girls hide their extra pounds.

2) plan a brief first date that you can jet out of in case you don’t hit it off. Coffee or one (1) drink. Pref. pick a place where your friends don’t hang out.

3) Assume that the girl is hiding something important, until you have proven otherwise. I have some crazy stories you wouldn’t believe- there is some serious sh#t that I have found out about these girls. drugs, abuse, horrible situations, you name it. Be aware!

4) assume the girl has been dating other guys off the internet. Other guys tend to mark their territory on here. No different than peeing on a tree, they go on the girl’s profile and comment “thanks for the wonderful time last night” or “man I was so tired after last night” or other BS. If your girl has that going on, find a new one or at least do the same back, so that other guys are on notice.

be careful and good luck.

Matt, awesome response, I agree completely and love the tips. It is definitely better to have girls contact you first on myspace, and if you set your profile up well this should happen at a somewhat decent rate at least once a month.

In my experience though the girls that usually contact you first, you weren’t the only one they messaged just FYI. though you may be the only one that they actually date or whatever.

The tips you gave are great, and I plan to start posting some really great articles and content on this site since it really doesn’t have too much yet.

Thanks for the comment! Anyone else got any tips?
