Impersonators who are paid to flirt on dating apps
I figured something like this would exist, but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s very useful.<p>I&#x27;ve walked the dark path of trying to implement &quot;pickup artist&quot; material(can&#x27;t imagine that&#x27;ll be received well), and I can say that:<p><pre><code>  A) an objective approach works (if you&#x27;re humble and willing to recognize&#x2F;adjust for failure)
  B) there&#x27;s a torrent of snake oil out there
  C) you learn a lot when you try this stuff. A lot.
</code></pre>
A lot of that material is laughably bad, but the general formula of &quot;know your value, be confident and unapologetic about what you want, be ready to accept &#x27;no&#x27; quickly and gracefully&quot; is the buried gold. Maybe it&#x27;s just me but grinding through failure after failure after failure taught me those things.<p>You can&#x27;t buy them, and if you don&#x27;t have them, it shows in your behavior.<p>You can&#x27;t have someone Cyrano de Bergerac your way into a date by behaving that way, because in the end the girl shows up and meets <i>you</i>.<p>Furthermore, the proposition that this is a service for people who don&#x27;t have time to send messages in these apps doesn&#x27;t hold water. Not having the time to respond promptly is an asset. Bailing on some conversations is an asset. You&#x27;re a busy man with a lot going on, not a desperate man glued to every prospect.<p>That&#x27;s my two cents.
