I’ve got a confession to make.

I often use online speed dating sites to meet women.

Sounds pathetic right?

Well actually it isn’t…

For many guys, online speed dating has become a valuable resource for meeting interesting and attractive women.

So how does it work?

If you have never heard of online speed dating, it works like regular speed dating. Basically, you login into the site during a specific time and spend about 8 minutes or so chatting with a female. Then you move on and start talking to a different woman.

Now online speed dating differs from offline speed dating because it allows people a second chance at making contact. Typically after a session has finished, the participants submit a list of the people they like. So if you hit it off with a woman, and she selects you as well, then you’re given each other’s contact information.

What’s great about this type of speed dating is you get a second chance even if your initial conversation didn’t go well. Since this is an online dating service, everybody has a profile which people can visit. So even if an attractive woman doesn’t select you right away, you can still initiate contact through their messaging service.

Now that I’ve covered the basics of online speed dating, let me talk about a few ways you can make yourself stand out from the other guys who use this service.

1- Create a great profile

In order to stand out from the crowd, you have to create a profile that is enticing. Here are some ways that you can create a profile which women will love:

* Make your life seem fun and exciting. Women are attracted to guys who lead interesting lives.

* Have a professional picture taken of yourself and use that as your primary photo

* Don’t disclose too much information. Instead be a little bit mysterious about yourself.

* Use humor in your profile, but don’t come across as goofy or self-deprecating.

2- Ask interesting questions and use humor

During your online speed dating session, be sure to ask women questions that are interesting and allows them reveal more about their personality. Your goal during these sessions is to stand out, so don’t be afraid to do something different.

In other words, avoid boring her to tears by asking about her job. Instead discuss topics in which she has a strong positive emotional attachment.

For instance, you could ask her about her dreams, or favorite hobbies. The more you can make a connection to something she loves, the more she’ll find you attractive.

3- Know what women are looking for

Women are strange creatures!

Often they’ll say they want one thing and then turn around do the exact opposite.

For instance, they often talk about wanting a “nice guy”, but they’ll usually ditch the nice guy for the “bad boy”.

Basically women want a lot of things in their lives. They want excitement, fun, security, adventure, etc. By knowing what women want, you can show how you’ll fit into their ideal candidate for that role.

The key to successful online speed dating is to make an incredible first impression and leave them wanting for more. If you can fulfill the expectations of what women are looking for then it’ll be much easier to go on dates with interesting women.
