Iverson said it best, its not about the game, its about practice!
So in order to maximize my online dating experience, I'll need some practice (NOT A GAME). So i did what just about what anyone would do - i googled stuff like "online dating tips" and tried to weed through and learns from some of the results. First and foremost, just like nightclubs, a lot of these sights ask you to pay the money before you can get their help (at least their help is a little more direct). But here is some free stuff that i found
About.com's free tips
Summary - take time in making your profile, create a cool alias that reflects who you are (i am soooo gonna be BobbyLashley69 lol), create an attention grabbing headline on the front page (you say your name is finlay and you love to fight, i say your name is finlay and you're a bathturd), describe yourself truthfully (i love games, wrestling and beer and I'm only here to get laid), say something personal (THIS IS ACTUALLY FROM THEIR SITE - "From a big family, want to make one together?" LOL), draw them in with creativity ("Just finished school. Finish this sentence: I want to have ____?" - LOL once again from the site), use subtlety in describing your dislikes, don't write too fucking much, don't be an emo kid, don't brag, just let your writing do the work for you, and don't mislead (No thats not a picture of my head on John Cena's body, thats totally me).
I looked at a few other sites, and they were either book promotions or had similar advice. so now its time to get to thinking (and picture taking).
But that leaves me with a lasting thought - exactly how much truth should i really reveal? I mean should i do it in increments? On the profile I'll quietly mention occasional gaming... but neglect to say that i find it perfectly normal to play Soul Calibur with my crew on a Saturday night :-)
Stay tuned.
