E-Mail Rules

So Formhandle has chimed in on some “E-Mail Rules” that he goes by when seducing online.

Many of you have been able to take advantage of the e-mail rules I’ve set out, they’re simply the most efficient and dependable means to get a chick responding back so that the mail goal can be achieved – setting up a meet to run actual real game.

Here is some more elaboration on why a lot of guys can’t get past e-mail with a chick:

These kind of guys ask too many questions or bring up too many points for the chick to be able to focus in on. What ends up happening is she only responds to a single, perhaps 2 maximum points, and they are rarely the points the guy is REALLY interested in. The reason for that is it allows her to maintain control, and forces the guy to ask some of the same questions again, defaulting him to beta. The other reason is – the hotter the chick, the more preoccupied she is in the REAL world and the less she cares about e-mail and answering every single point in an e-mail, so she chooses the fastest and easiest points to reply to and feels that she’s “replied” to the mail completely.

Formhandle goes on to elaborate…

For example, if a typical guy’s e-mail was broken down into a bullet list of statements & points, it would look something like:

* useless statement 1
* useless statement 2
* important question 1
* dumb joke
* useless question 1
* important statement 1
* important question 2
* dumb joke
* useless statement 3
* useless statement 4
* useless question 2

A guy who knows NLP, his e-mails look like:

* useless statement 1
* some NLP
* useless statement 2
* some NLP
* important question 1
* some NLP
* dumb joke
* some NLP
* useless question 1
* some NLP
* important statement 1
* some NLP
* important question 2
* some NLP
* dumb joke
* some NLP
* useless statement 3
* some NLP
* useless statement 4
* some NLP
* useless question 2
* some NLP

My e-mails look like:

* useless statement 1
* important question 1
or
* important statement 1
* important question 1

That’s *IT*. If she replies, THEN my next mail consists of:

* useless statement 2
* important question 2
or
* important statement 2
* important question 2

Sometimes, it’s just:

* important question 1
or
* important question 2

That’s *IT*. By then I’ll either have her # or be getting it and will dump e-mail and stick to the phone and set up a meet.

Now, there is another salient point to all this and this is something guys still get wrong even when following the minimalist approach. That is, to make sure neither a statement nor a question can be interpreted ANY other way than the way you intend. Read your mails and think to yourself “Is there ANY chance this chick could misinterpret my real goal here and, if so, how, and if so, how do I clear up the language?” You will be surprised at how much a chick will twist words in her mind to your detriment. Don’t make it that simple for her, be clear and don’t be lazy in your chosen words. You *CAN* utilize innuendo or suggestive wording but it must be clear on inspection that it’s innuendo. Otherwise, the innuendo will be missed, and your statements and/or questions misinterpreted and you’ll get no reply back or not a reply you could have possibly expected. If, in order to be clear, you need to leave out details, then leave out details. Better to have a chick unsure of the meaning of something than to have the wrong interpretation of something.

For example:
“Let’s meet up and get to know each other.” can easily be misinterpreted by the chick to think you seek relationships and, if she already has a provider role filled, she’ll either not reply or reply with a BF objection of some sort. In that case, such a statement can simply be truncated to “Let’s meet up.”

Another example:
“I really enjoyed talking with you the other day. What’s your schedule like this week?” can easily be interpreted by the chick to think you want to meet up again just to TALK (blah!). Simply remove the first statement OR replace it with something not so vague and/or boring like “I want to check out the new place at X street.”

Well, I’m usually not a fan of asking a girl questions (particuarly *imporant* ones), at least not in the initial phase of the seduction. But with e-mail, I think questions are good because it gives the girl a reason to respond. The trick is keeping the e-mails interesting and engaging, and it’s important to get them on the phone.
