So I've finally given up all hope on meeting a girl normally, and naturally have turned to my surrogate parent the internet. So I have joined the okcupid.com and have found some pretty ladies in my area. Now comes the task of messaging them, what is best to say in a message that will peak their interest enough. With any luck I can keep updating with success/failures.

dont know that okcupid site but most online dating sites are garbage.

anyway, girls are shallow so if theres a picture of her just tell her how pretty she is and youd like to get to know her or compliment whatever she wrote in her profile and say you share the same interests (wich you actually should if you msg her lol)
and dont be so nervous about it, if she doesnt answer... whatever, im sure theres plenty more around who will

If your not good looking just give up. Well, unless you have lots of cash or a big dick. And lets face it, you wouldnt be looking online for a girl if you had anything worth offering.

Basicly women are whores, find one that you can keep fucking you cheaply and be done with it.

>>2 is Wrong. Dead wrong. Stop and think for a moment; EVERY girl is going to hear pointless, routine comments on their appearance/apparel. If you're going to comment on the picture, pick something to comment on/about that you Don't think is normal. Better yet is to also comment on their activities (especially if they're something you have in common), but do so with asking open-ended questions (ie, not yes or no questions).

Beyond that, I'm not quite certain.

I usually say like "whoa, is that bed-head in your profile photo?"
