The whole system - an overview

Okay, you're starting to see how certain pieces of the eHarmony Cracked system fall into place... but some of you may still be confused about where we're going, and when.

An excellent question. So, today, I think I'll summarize. Here's how the system flows.

"About Me"
Average guy - Don't be offensive. I don't want a woman to reject me.
eHarmony Cracked - Casually talk about yourself. Don't worry about the criticism. Say interesting things about yourself... even if some women may lose interest.

Structured Communication
Average guy - Throw out some easy questions. Try to please everybody with your answers.
eHarmony Cracked - Realize that you're a great catch. Answer questions with confidence, and make her feel like she's being tested. And make her work for your attention.

Open Communication
Average guy - Give shallow compliments, tell her about how you know that you're right for each other. Answer her questions until she's comfortable enough to give you her phone number.
eHarmony Cracked - Express the feeling that you find some things interesting, but you haven't made a decision about her yet. And you're a busy guy, so, if you're going to get to know each other, phone numbers need to be exchanged.

Phone Call
Average guy - Lots of small-talk, answer more questions, build more comfort, try to get a date.
eHarmony Cracked - Only have time for a short talk, ask some questions. Keep her on her guard a little bit. You need to know more to figure her out... so you agree to meet up.

Date Planning
Average guy - Pick a stereotypical date that should please any girl. Impress her with how nice you are to her.
eHarmony Cracked - Plan to show her a piece of your life - what you like to do when you have fun. That way, you'll get to subtly evaluate how she'd fit into your life.

The Date
Average guy - Treat her nicely, don't do anything offensive. Hope that she'll like you back, because you're being so nice.
eHarmony Cracked - Start to let your guard down a little. Make her feel like she's starting to pass your tests... and see if the physical chemistry is there.

Beyond the first date
Average guy - Keep on being nice until she either becomes bored, or starts to become attached.
eHarmony Cracked - See if the two of you really fit. If you do, great. If not... there are plenty more.

And that's the system in a nutshell.
