Career and personal coach Marty Nemko, Ph.D., advises that in order to avoid coming across as a mansplainer, you should “mitigate the risk of seeming hubristic by keeping your comments brief and perhaps by softening the impact, for example, by ending with, ‘Just a thought. What do you think?”. This way, you give your conversational partner the opportunity to share her expertise and offer her opinions, instead of steamrolling her with your knowledge.
Talking on the phone is something most of us do on a daily basis without giving it a second thought, and there’s something about not being face-to-face with the person on the other end of the line that often makes it easier to say things on the phone that you might not say in person, right? So why is it that making a simple phone call suddenly feels like a big deal?
You have to pay attention to the profile to decide which opening line to use. Makes it easier to build on their responses. The philosopher has given you some great openers which I have tried myself and had continued success with. Pof has become more of an entertainment thing for me.
I've been an online writer for over six years. My articles focus on everything from hip-hop culture to relationship advice.
First messages that critique a woman's profile might seem cute, but they're just really annoying. No one wants to go on a date with someone who will be their judge for the entire evening. If you like her, talking about noticing her spelling error might be the perfect thing to bring up on your 20th date, or never.
This conversation starter is tangentially related to the pop culture tip, but it’s a little bit more specific. Almost everyone loves movies or has a favorite Netflix series.
If you want women to talk to you, you gotta look like someone worth talking to. Right? I've seen too many disastrous profiles that make guys look undateable. This is something that can happen even to good guys who are "just trying to be themselves" in online dating.
One-liners may initially get a woman’s attention, but what are you doing to keep the conversation going?
Dating is a social construct, which means it’s constantly changing, but Be Happy International keeps everything grounded and genuine, especially when it comes to live chatting with the single woman of your fantasies.
This message is genius. It shows the girl that you read her profile, have an idea of things she'd like to talk about and where she'd like to go, and introduces you to her. If she wants to meet up with you, she'll say yes and you'll exchange numbers. If she doesn't, then you won't waste your time messaging her.
One opener that gets their attention that I made up (similar to something I heard from Richard La Ruina) is, "I have two felonies, three kids from separate women who I never see, herpes, a drug problem and a penchant for drunk fighting. Also I hate puppies and fun. Sound appealing?" This gets their attention because it's silly and they're gonna know you're not serious because it's preposterous.
Getting outside of your head, and removing any insecurities and listening blocks is half the battle.

Something else -- you mentioned that women don't thank you for the compliments. I'm going to shoot real straight with you here: Women you message don't owe you anything, particularly not gratitude for unsolicited comments on their looks.
This is definitely better than some other ways of talking to women online (i.e. hey sexy), but it's also pretty boring. It doesn't show that you've taken any time to read her profile or figure out what she might be in to. It's a really easy message to pass up, and unless you're Brad Pitt, she's probably not going to respond.
Meeting up in person is always the best way to get to know someone. Assume you'll really get to know each other then.
Holyshit guys. This work like a charm for me. I live in a small mountain town and I'm pulling women from all over the place.
