I hear you about wanting to date younger women. At least now you know to conduct your split tests on your preferred audience rather than just any random women.

You’re welcome to split test women without pictures in their profiles, but I wouldn’t.

I understand your reasoning behind wanting to do so – because they are in your preferred age range, and what they respond well to is something other women in that age range might respond well to as well.

Remember though, age range is only one factor. Take a woman that is rated a “9″ by most guys and a woman that is rated a “5″ in terms of looks. What the 9 responds to will often be way different than what the 5 responds to.

So if you optimize your emails for women without pictures, you could be optimizing your emails for the 5 instead of the 8s, 9s, and above.

I know that you’re concerned about running out of women to conduct split tests on. Do what I recommended in the article, which is set up a profile in another area or state near you with more women.

Use your same profile pictures and list your location as that of the women you’re emailing.

Your goal would be to get phone numbers. Even though you wouldn’t necessarily end up calling those women or going out with them, you would know your email sequence converts well and allows you to get phone numbers.

Then you could send that same email sequence to women in your area and get their phone numbers.

Do you understand that?

On to the rest of your comment and questions.

You said, “I started following your method described in you “how to get the number” post and broke down it down to
Email One – spike interest
Email Two – Qualify with the question
Email Three – Close”

Yes, the sequence you described above is pretty much what I send to most women. If a woman doesn’t respond to any of those emails I have other emails for that too.

Keep split testing and optimizing your emails for conversions. As your conversion for each email increases, you’ll meet more women.

It might take you a few months to find a great email sequence that converts well, but once you do, you can use those emails over and over again.

As you already realized, you can streamline the whole process of meeting women online when you have an email sequence you can copy and paste that works.

As far as the best days to email women, I like to start my email sequence on Wednesday after work (meaning I send the first email in the sequence then) or on Sunday before noon.

However, when you’re split testing it’s often better to conduct more tests regardless of the day rather than waiting only for Wednesday’s or Sunday’s.

I haven’t conducted split tests on new users on dating sites versus users that have been on there for a while, so I don’t know the exact numbers.

I would predict though that once you have an email sequence that converts well that you would probably get more responses from new users versus women that have been on the site a while.

My take on it is if you’re interested in a woman, email her. Don’t worry about if she’s new or has been there a while.

However, that’s something I might do some testing on in the future. Thanks for bringing up the question.

Lol I guess this just invalidated all the split test data i already collected. Back to the drawing board.

I may have to include chicks without pics then or else my pool of available women in my city will shrink too much. What are your thoughts on girls without profile pics? I had a theory that as long as they say “thin” for their weight so then they wont be obese. I have not tested this yet.

Thanks for answering my question about what to do next after the response.

I started following your method described in you “how to get the number” post and broke down it down to
Email One – spike interest
Email Two – Qualify with the question
Email Three – Close

This is similar to what you just mentioned so it must be on the right track.

As for my results. My response rate has gone down abit this week now that i have changed from writing personalized emails for each girl to sending them pre scripted emails. I guess this is understandable because my emails are not that strong yet but should improve in time. A positive thing though is that the whole system only takes me about ten minutes a day which is alot quicker then before. I am starting to see how you could put this thing on autopilot after a while.

Again though i am worried my available pool of women will dry up soon if i keep up at a rate of 4 new contacts a day.

I have heard you mention different days of the week are better. This could help me burn my bridges slower. Could you talk more about that in future?

Also what is your opinion on the “New Users” PoF option. Are these girls better or worse than a girl that has been on the site for a while. Are they more flakey because they are new or are they easier because they are less jaded?

Anyway mate each one of your replies points in the right direction more and more and i appreciate that.

Cheers again
