Tips for Men on How to Meet a Woman Online

Approaching a woman online is an art form. Unfortunately, it is an art form that many men need to perfect. Approaching a woman online is different than approaching a woman in person. Still, many of the same rules apply. Remember that there is a real person behind the name on the
computer screen.

Treat her with respect. Would you walk up to a woman in person and say, "What size bra do you wear?" Hopefully not. So don't do it online. It's a wonderful way to repel a woman. Other questions you should not approach a woman online with are:

1) How much do you weigh?
2) Got a naked picture of yourself?
3) Want to cyber?
4) What are you wearing?
5) What is your favorite position?

Hopefully, the reasons why you should not ask these questions is already apparent to you.

Another important thing to remember is to go slow. Sometimes the anonymity makes it easy to forge ahead too quickly. Many people find it much easier to open up to those online. Barriers that may be present in person vanish in front of a computer screen. There is no self consciousness. Appearance is not a factor. There is a much less feeling of vulnerability present when meeting someone online. As a result, emotional intimacies are often entered into far too quickly.

Ask her about herself. However, stay away from very personal or sexual topics. Safe topics are family, interests, career, hobbies.

Be honest. If you wear glasses, don't tell her you have 20-20 vision. If you weigh 300 pounds, don't tell her you weigh 200. If you are unemployed, don't tell her you're making loads of money. If you are married, don't tell her you are single. If you lie to her, it will come back to you at some point in the relationship. She will find out the truth if and when you meet in person, and no matter what else happens during that meeting, your fate will already be sealed. She will know all she needs to know about you. You are a liar.

These are interesting and fair points, but I think it's important for a novice Internet user to realize that most people who frequent social forums are primarily looking for sexual attention. So the things you pointed out that men should NOT say are absolutely to be expected. But because of the anonymity of the Internet and how freely pigs demonstrate their piggishness, it's often very easy to discern your disinterests in most screen names. However, social deception games run VERY thick online, and many novice Internet users, which predators (Primarily psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists) can spot quickly, are often targeted for abuse. The Internet absolutely can yield meaningful connections, but a novice Internet user has a LOT to learn before they're really ready for online dating. Anywho, great post and have a good day :)
