  • 9Introduc9onThe'world'is'changing'rapidly'as'it'responds'to'new'technology'and'new'ways'of'communica2on.'The'da2ng'world'is'no'excep2on.

    One'of'the'brightest'stars'todays'da2ng'heaven'is'the'fairly'recent'Tinder;'an'app'that'creates'a'prole'with'data'from'your'Facebook'account'and'connects'it'to'a'rapid'stream'of'other'accounts,'allowing'you'to'communicate'if'there'is'a'mutual'interest.'Tinder'will'be'one'of'the'main'focuses'of'this'book.'

    Snapchat'allows'you'to'communicate'with'a'number'of'users'on'a'daygtogday'basis,'without'necessarily'engaging'in'stressful'(or'meaningful)'conversa2ons.

    We'll'see'how'to'use'Tinder'and'Snapchat'separately'and'eec2vely'and'we'll'show'how'the'two'services'can'be'used'together'for'a'leveraged'approach'for'mee2ng'and'communica2ng.

    Ill'do'my'best'to'be'direct'when'wri2ng'this'book.'It'is'wriXen'mainly'for'men,'although'I'suppose'women'could'have'some'benet'from'itif'nothing'else'to'understand'some'of'the'techniques'men'might'employ'on'these'services.'But'since'I'am'a'sexually'ac2ve'male'addressing'other'males'looking'for'sexual'rela2onships'with'women,'I'see'no'reason'to'embellish'my'wording.'Youll'see'usage'of'the'fgword'in'this'book,'and'some'of'the'techniques'presented'might'seem'misogynis2c.'I'hope'it'is'clear'to'everyone'that'these'techniques'are'presented'because'they'are'eec2ve,'and'that'the'eec2veness'of'these'techniques'is'the'value'I'wish'to'provide'to'you'with'through'this'book.'I'recommend'you'align'your'use'of'the'material'presented'here'with'your'own'personal,'ethical'compass;'you'are'responsible'for'your'own'ac2ons.'I'also'hope'the'majority'of'my'readers'are'mature'enough'to'understand'the'dierence'between'right'and'wrong.

    With'that'out'of'the'way,'lets'get'you'guys'laid.

    While'there'is'another'layer'of'humanity'added'through'these'technologies,'allowing'you'to'see'people'who'aren't'really'there,'there'is'also'a'dehumaniza2on'of'communica2on.'A'lot'of'interpersonal'communica2on'is'simply'not'facegtogface'anymore.'

    This'is'a'sad'trend,'because'it'removes'closeness'between'physical'beings'of'esh'and'blood.'In'this'book'we'll'try'to'u2lize'technology'to'get'back'to'exchanging'physical'warmth'and'hopefully'some'bodily'uids.

    How&does&this&change&everything?Ive'sub2tled'this'book'From'spark'to'ame'to'inferno,'and'my'inten2ons'are'to'take'you'through'these'steps.'You'are'going'to'learn'how'to'create'sparks'with'people'while's2ll'giving'away'very'liXle'informa2on.'This'spark'can'then'be'kindled'into'a'ame,'where'passion'and'desire'can'grow.'Ill'also'make'this'whole'process'innitely'repeatable,'so'youll'nd'yourself'amongst'so'many'ames'that'it'is'a'proverbial'inferno.

    To'make'this'material'easy'to'understand,'Ive'sprinkled'it'with'examples'and'stepgbygstep'guides.'Every'once'in'a'while,'I'll'do'a'deep'dive'and'share'my'thoughts'about'why'a'technique'works.'It'is'not'necessary'to'understand'these'theories'to'make'the'techniques'work,'so'feel'free'to'skip'the'explana2ons'as'you'read.

    Change&from&online&to&mobileThere'are'huge'dierences'between'online'(Internet'based)'and'mobile'da2ng'services'and'between'the'opportuni2es'each'provide.'Mobile'brings'an'immediacy'to'the'equa2on'that'Internet'based'da2ng'has'a'hard'2me'compe2ng'against.'There'is'no'longer'a'need'to'make'elaborate,'pregconstructed'and'sta2c'online'proles'to'present'yourself.'Mobile'services'now'provide'an'itera2ve'way'to'get'to'know'people'and'you'are'given'more'control'over'each'step.

    There'is'no'point'in'lling'out'tedious'matching'quizzes'as'they'seldom'really'work'anyway.'Instead,'try'to'just'meet'up'with'people'and'see'if'it'"clicks.

    Tinder'and'Snapchat'may'change'the'way'their'services'work'without'giving'you'(or'me)'no2ce.''These'changes'will'aect'the'workings'of'the'most'technical'and'specic'2ps.''You'may'also'nd'that'some'of'the'advice'in'this'book'is'seasonal.

    Most'of'the'concepts'presented'are'2meless,'and'once'you'grasp'them,'they'should'apply'to'current'and'future'versions'of'da2ng'apps'as'well'as'real'life'situa2ons.

    People'tend'occasionally'to'refer'to'the'systema2c'breakdown'and'analysis'of'the'interac2on'with'the'other'sex'as'game.'We'll'use'this'term'sparingly'in'this'book,'but'a'lot'of'this'material'is'obviously'inspired'by'the'pickup'community'and'game'in'general.'I'll'try'to'shy'away'from'using'pickup'lingo,'but'whenever'it'makes'sense,'I'll'try'to'clarify'what'the'dierent'terms'mean.

    Let's'quickly'take'a'bird's'eye'look'at'the'way'the'book'is'outlined.

    If'I'was'to'explain'the'secret'of'the'material'presented'in'this'book,'or'the'formula'if'you'will,'it'would'look'something'like'this:

    Volume'g>'Exposure'g>'Experience'g>'Success

    Expose'yourself'to'enough'situa2ons'to'test'and'rene'your'techniques;'gather'experience'and'harvest'success.'It'sounds'simple,'and'it'is.''It's'a'lot'of'work,'but'it'is'simple'work.

    A'lot'of'products'expect'you'to'work,'but'unfortunately,'they'don't'provide'a'clear'path'for'progression'or'a'means'for'self'correc2on.''I'will'try'to'make'it'clear'when'and'where'each'technique'can'be'used.''When'things'aren't'working,'I'll'suggest'correc2ons.

    The'material'also'diers'in'that'it'tries'to'minimize'the'amount'of'pain'youll'be'subjected'to.'Im'no'fan'of'pain'myself,'and'I'rmly'believe'that'if'you'feel'pain,'its'your'bodys'way'of'telling'you'that'youre'doing'something'wrong.'There'is'

    12

    no'no%pain,%no%gain'in'this'book,'because'its'not'true.'I'know'that'you'will'shy'away'from'doing'work'that'is'painful.'Minimizing'the'amount'of'pain'is'therefore'a'way'to'maximize'the'chance'that'youll'actually'do'the'work.

    But'lets'start'by'looking'at'how'this'book'is'organised,'and'the'material'that'will'be'presented.'

    We'll'start'o'by'looking'at'the'dierent'services.'They'are'really'preXy'straighuorward'to'use,'but's2ll,'you'might'have'missed'a'thing'or'two'about'them.

    We'll'con2nue'by'looking'at'the'product.'This'is'you,'and'it'is'a'thing'of'beauty'and'constant'change.'Improving'the'product'will'make'everything'easier'for'you,'not'only'for'Tinder'and'Snapchat,'but'for'dealing'with'members'of'the'opposite'sex'in'general.'It'might'seem'like'an'unnecessary'thing'to'cover'in'the'context'of'Tinder'and'Snapchat,'but'at'least'do'your'self'the'favour'of'skimming'this'sec2on.

    Well'move'on'to'look'at'the'concepts'that'drive'the'interac2ons'and'ul2mately'your'success.'These'concepts'are'largely'universal,'and'also'translate'to'other'kinds'of'game.'Reading'this'sec2on'is'also'recommended,'as'it'will'build'a'founda2on'to'build'on.

    Then'well'take'the'concepts'and'dis2ll'them'into'concrete'techniques.'These'are'prac2cal'applica2ons'of'the'concepts,'and'are'oRen'described'in'terms'of'rou9nes;'prac2cal,'tried'and'tested'examples'of'the'techniques'that'can'be'employed'right'away.'

    The'techniques'will'then'be'put'into'a'framework'of'data'mining'and'funnelling.'This'is'where'you'gather'your'prospects'and'decide'which'techniques'to'employ'at'which'2mes.'You'will'be'dealing'with'large'volumes'of'data,'so'this'framework'needs'to'capture'things'like'contact'management,'2me'management,'handling'of'interac2ons'over'2me'and'a'plethora'of'other'related'concepts.'In'this'sec2on'well'discuss'concepts'such'as'progression'and'

    branching.

    Implemen2ng'the'framework'is'not'very'2me'consuming.'Also,'it'can'to'a'large'degree'benet'your'other'female'related'endeavors.'

    We'll'then'look'at'a'progression&model.'This'is'what'is'basically'going'to'take'you'from'where'you'are'now'and'through'the'steps.'Resist'the'tempta2on'to'skip'ahead,'because'everything'is'built'on'what'precedes'it.

    The'book'is'organised'in'this'way'because'it'seems'to'make'sense'to'cover'a'bunch'of'concepts'if'you'are'going'to'be'using'them'over'and'over'again.'I'could'have'taken'shortcuts'here'and'kept'it'to'mainly'being'examples'without'much'in'way'of'explana2on.'However,'I'feel'it'would'have'been'just'that,'shortcuts.'On'the'other'hand,'the'scope'of'the'book'restricts'me'from'going'to'extreme'depth'on'the'dierent'concepts.'Hopefully'I've'managed'to'nd'a'sweet'spot'in'this'regard,'where'you'can'get'introduced'to'a'concept,'see'examples'of'it,'try'it'out'for'yourself'and'then'understand'it'at'a'deep'level'without'necessarily'being'able'to'explain'all'the'drivers'for'it.

    What&is&Tinder?Tinder'is'a'rela2vely'new'service'where'you'connect'your'Facebook'prole'to'a'seemingly'neverending'stream'of'members'of'the'opposite'sex.'The'core'idea'is'simple.'You'decide'on'a'per'person'basis'whether'you'are'interested'(right'swipe)'or'not'(leR'swipe).'If'both'par2es'swipe'right,'it'is'considered'a'match,'and'Tinder'from'that'moment'on'allows'the'users'to'communicate'with'a'private'chat.

    What'separates'Tinder'from'other'da2ng'services'is:

    Tinder'is'free. The'prole'is'very'simple.'It'currently'consists'of'only'seven'major'

    components:'Your'picturesup'to'seven'of'them,'your'rst'name,'your'age,'your'rela2ve'loca2on'to'the'other'party,'a'short'(up'to'500'characters'long)'textual'descrip2on,'your'shared'Facebook'friends'and'your'shared'interests.'

  • iGNITE

    14

    We'will'look'at'tweaking'all'of'these'parameters'in'this'book. The'simplicity'of'the'proles'makes'it'really'quick'to'sign'up'for'

    the'service.'This'has'resulted'in'a'huge'amount'of'users'in'many'parts'of'the'world.

    This'rate'of'adop2on'means'that'there'are'a'lot'of'prospects.'Women'on'Tinder'are'usually'more'normal'and'less'desperate'than'women'found'on'typical'da2ng'sites.'Do'not'be'surprised'if'you'nd'your'next'door'neighbor'has'a'prole,'or'the'girl'at'the'checkout'counter'at'the'local'KwikgEgMart.

    This'horde'of'prospects'means'that'you'need'to'rethink'how'you'approach'the'service.'This'is'what'this'book'is'mainly'about;'given'the'current'set'of'parameters,'how'do'you'maximize%your%yield?

    If'this'sounds'exci2ng,'it'is'because'it'really'and'truly'is.'Tinder'is'a'great'service'and'if'you'approach'it'correctly,'it'will'give'you'results.

    What&is&Snapchat?Snapchat'is'a'service'based'around'sending'picture'and'video'messages.'The'messages'can'be'adorned'with'textual'informa2on'and'drawings.'One'of'the'main'selling'points'of'Snapchat'is'that'you'can'decide'for'how'long'the'recipient'can'see'the'message,'and'there'is'some'rudimentary'form'of'screenshot'protec2on.'This'makes'Snapchat'a'plauorm'notoriously'famous'for'sex2ng;'sending'messages'with'sexual'content.'

    All'is'not'well'in'wonderland,'however,'because'this'privacy'is'largely'an'illusion.'Third'party'clients'that'allow'for'storing'pictures'indenitely'and'uploading'pictures'from'storage'and'make'them'look'as'if'they'were'just'taken'are'plenty.'Well'look'at'how'to'leverage'some'of'this'later.

    DierencesThere'are'some'huge'dierences'in'how'Tinder'and'Snapchat'work.'Both'of'the'services'have'eec2ve'techniques'that'transfer'to'other'kinds'of'mobile'and'online'da2ng'services,'however.

  • iGNITE

    15

    Tinder'is'a'match'based'service,'meaning'that'given'certain'criteria,'you'll'match'with'a'subset'of'the'registered'user'mass'before'you're'allowed'to'communicate'with'them.'In'a'sense,'this'is'similar'to'how'tradi2onal'speed'da2ng'works;'you're'exposed'to'a'number'of'people,'you'can'both'decide'whether'or'not'you'like'the'other'person,'and'if'you'both'agree,'it's'a'"match".'A'match'gives'you'the'opportunity'to'communicate'with'the'other'party.

    When'communica2ng'using'Tinder,'you'll'send'a'message'to'a'single'person'at'a'2me,'and'there'will'be'an'expecta2on'of'an'answer'most'of'the'2me.'This'is'fairly'similar'to'tex2ng.'This'means'that'if'you'send'a'message'that's'not'well'received,'or'if'2me'is'not'permiQng,'it's'not'uncommon'to'have'a'message'leR'"hanging".'This'is'a'"synchronous"'messaging'paXern,'sort'of'a'"lock'step"'dance,'where'both'par2es'are'required'to'par2cipate'to'drive'the'interac2on'forward.

    The'good'thing'about'messaging'on'Tinder'is'that'in'contrast'to'Facebook,'Skype,'MSN,'etc,'you'can't'really'tell'whether'or'not'the'other'person'has'read'your'message'on'Tinder.'Again,'it'is'more'similar'to'tex2ng.'This'is'good'because'it'allows'you'to'synchronously'push'the'interac2on'forward'at'your'own'pace.

    Snapchat'is'a'contact'based'service'where'the'requirements'for'becoming'"friends"'is'usually'preXy'low.'When'ring'o'a'"snap",'it's'quite'common'to'have'a'lot'of'people'on'the'recipient'list'for'the'same'message.'In'other'words,'you're'not'required'to'get'a'response'from'the'other'party,'and'it's'not'uncommon'to'have'a'tengtogone'ra2o'with'messages'you'send'versus'messages'you'receive.'In'a'sense,'Snapchat'scales'from'"broadcas2ng"'to'onegongone'messaging,'and'selec2ng'where'to'push'is'part'of'the'skill.

    GoalsGiven'all'this'informa2on,'it's'probably'a'good'idea'to'state'an'over'arching'goal'for'the'whole'exercise.'We'll'break'this'goal'into'two'measurable'components;'yield'and'funnelling.

    ShiR'your'hooks'from'the'prole'text'to'the'pictures.'With'this'number'of'proles'on'Tinder,'you'just'cant'expect'people'to'actually'read'prole'texts'before'deciding.

    These'newcomers'will'then'get'a'lot'of'aXen2on'by'the'user'mass'that'has'gone'through'all'the'other'proles.

    It'is'not'100%'certain'and'might'be'subject'to'change,'but'Tinder'seems'to'stack'people'who'have'already'liked'you'in'the'front'of'the'user'queue'for'you.'This'means'that'every'2me'you'start'o'fresh'with'a'new'prole,'you'll'be'one'of'maybe'10g15'people'that's'exposed'to'a'huge'mass'of'users,'and'the'users'who'like'you'will'be'stacked'in'the'beginning'of'your'queue.'This'makes'a'huge'dierence'compared'to'being'one'of'10,000'users;'people'are'more'likely'to'like'you,'especially'if'it's'been'a'while'since'they'got'a'match.

    If'you'are'one'of'the'early'adopters'in'your'area,'the'eect'might'be'dierent.'As'more'people'register'for'the'service,'you'll'get'a'slow'trickle'of'new'matches'over'2me.

    Because'Tinder'seems'to'stack'people'who'have'liked'someone'early'in'their'queue,'it'is'a'benet'to'check'your'Tinder'oRen'for'new'proles,'as'you'll'end'up'earlier'in'the'other'person's'queue.'People'who'are'new'to'Tinder'will'be'unaware'of'the'insane'amounts'of'proles'on'the'service,'and'will'get'pickier'as'they'siR'through'hordes'of'people.'GeQng'in'the'queue'early'is'only'going'to'help'you.

    At'2mes,'youll'see'the'user'mass'recycled.'While'it'is'impossible'to'know'for'sure'how'the'Tinder'backend'decides'who'to'expose'you'to'(and'frankly'if'you'did'know,'this'would'always'be'subject'to'change)'these'recycles'will'some2mes'allow'you'to'get'an'onslaught'of'matches,'as'it'seems'youll'be'shown'a'lot'of'proles'that'have'swiped'you'to'the'right'early.

    This'also'raises'another'point;'swipe'right'early.'The'earlier'you'swipe'someone'to'the'right,'the'sooner'you'will'be'entered'into'their'match'queue.'Newcomers'to'the'service'will'then'see'you'as'one'of'the'rst'100'instead'of'one'of'the'rst'100,000.'This'makes'it'easier'to'stand'out.

    First,'go'to'your'seNngs.'Make'sure'the'parameters'match'your'preferences.'I'personally'run'with'full'age'range'and'area'range.'The'simple'reason'for'this'is'that'it'will'give'you'more'matches.'This'is'volume,'as'we'talked'about'before.'This'allows'you'to'get'more'experience'more'quickly,'even'if'the'matches'aren't'necessarily'all'equally'interes2ng.

    If'you'dont'like'what'you'see,'swipe'leR'or'press'the'large'X.

    If'you'like'what'you'see,'swipe'right'or'press'the'large'heart'symbol.

    If'you'accidentally'swipe'right'and'match'with'someone'you'dont'care'for,'you'can'block'the'user.'This'will'basically'just'remove'them'from'your'list,'remove'you'from'their'list'and'also'remove'any'conversa2on'you'might'have'had.'Blocking'users'on'Tinder'seems'to'be'an'opera2on'that'isnt'as'harsh'as'blocking'on'other'services,'so'apply'liberally.

    Because'it'is'so'easy'to'change'your'mind'aRer'youve'matched'with'someone,'but'a'lot'harder'to'undo'a'leR'swipe,'its'in'your'interest'to'err'to'the'right,'meaning'its'beXer'to'like'someone'you'dont'really'care'for'than'to'throw'a'hoQe'into'leR'side'oblivion.

    SnapchatThere'are'two'ways'to'capitalize'greatly'from'Snapchat.'Volume'is'the'rst;'you'need'to'rack'up'huge'volumes.'The'other'is'to'branch'to'it'from'other'media,'such'as'Tinder'or'even'Facebook.

    The'simplest'way'of'stacking'up'large'numbers'is'to'take'notes'of'every'and'all'Snapchat'addresses'you'encounter.'This'is'especially'eec2ve'if'you'nd'Snapchat'addresses'on'Tinder,'because'you'know'that'the'people'will'be'preXy'close'to'you.

    When'working'on'Tinder,'you'll'see'that'people'post'their'Snapchat'address'in'their'prole'text.'In'other'words,'this'is'oRen'available'to'you'prior'to'actually'making'any'match'on'Tinder.

    As'the'likelihood'of'you'being'exposed'to'someone'you've'recently'like'increases,'it'is'a'good'idea'to'mine'Snapchat'addresses'and'then'bulk'add'them.'This'basically'just'means'that'instead'of'just'smashing'her'address'straight'into'your'Snapchat'client,'you'make'a'note'of'it'into'Evernote.

    I'll'be'referring'to'your'contact'management'system'as'"Evernote"'from'now'on,'even'if'you've'decided'on'something'else.

    There'are'plenty'of'benets'from'doing'this:

    A'group&message'is'technically'the'same'as'onegongone'communica2on;'there'is'a'picture'that'is'sent'out'to'mul2ple'recipients.'It'is'just'harder'to'be'contextually'relevant'to'many'people'at'the'same'2me.'These'kinds'of'messages'can'oRen'be'used'to'gauge'interest'in'your'pool'of'targets;'some'will'respond,'some'will'not.

    Note'that'people'will'respond'at'dierent'2mes.'The'same'way'you'don't'always'feel'like'ea2ng'steak,'drinking'beer'and'watching'Archer,'girls'don't'always'want'to'get'with'a'hunk'like'you.'So'keep'sending'these'asynchronous'pings'un2l'you're'absolutely'sure'you're'o'her'list'or'blocked,'and'then'you'remove'her.'Unfortunately,'most'Snapchat'clients'have'abysmal'contact'management'features,'so'you'need'to'do'some'work'here'manually.
