How to be successful

May 28 2013

A companion thread......   What do you think it takes to be successful on RHP? (I'm not talking about profiles writing and profile pics)   How do you define success?   What mindset do you think is needed to enjoy the experience to it's fullest?

    Be honest with yourself about what you want & don't compromise with the people you meet. If they don't met your requirements or are not after the same thing. Don't meet them.

    Quoting 'Meeka100'Be honest with yourself about what you want & don't compromise with the people you meet. If they don't met your requirements or are not after the same thing. Don't meet them. ah but how much time do you invest before pursuing other avenues or realising goals may not be achievable. We all only have a limited span.

    as Meeka said...but also.. be realistic.......about yourself, about your potential matches... be honest...creative is good, but outright deception isn't.... be polite.......manners still go a very long way.... be patient........meeting people is difficult, it takes time be flexible....... not all meets will end in play....actually...most wont...friends is still good.. be yourself...... be the 'real you'....show yourself, its who people really want to meet...

    Read a few profiles, with their promotion of their sexual skills, and overtly sex-self-promoting photos, and it appears that many guys would define getting laid as the benchmark of success.... but I feel that's a bit off the mark.... unless, getting laid is your benchmark of what you call success outside of this site too. And if that's how you define success, I'd suggest you'd be a pretty shallow, self absorbed type with little genuine interest in others. I see this place as an avenue for entertainment and just one additional means for communicating with and meeting others. What RHP is not, is my ONLY means of communicating with and meeting others. Get that straight in your mind, and the desperation factor that seems so prevalent in here due to having a defined goal of sex with a stranger.... is not a factor. Instead, focus on fun interactions and the rest becomes a more natural progression. DG- Posted from rhpmobile

    "If you expect nothing from anybody, you're never disappointed." Enter this world like you would any other: with an open heart, a positive attitude and plenty of self-esteem. If you arrive feeling closed off, jaded, or unworthy RHP will become your self-fulfilling prophecy. I have been very successful so far. Great dates, even better lovers and even some real friends.

Nothing more for me at all   though I have made some nice women friends and some nice male friends that I do not have sex with.   I ohly came on rhp to find models for my exhibition and thats done and dusted. after some guy cleaned my pipes for me after three years of no sex I thought best to keep theold girl cranking over in case it closes up again.

    I get your point. However, I will post my comment from a different thread here: My favourite mantra: You teach people how to treat you. I've read too many posts by members (just using women as an example) on here saying things like "The first message wasn't great, but I thought maybe that was just me. His second message was a bit rude, but I thought I'd give him a chance. He refused to talk on the phone but I accepted that, as perhaps he was a bit shy. And then the bastard stood me up! How dare he, all guys on here are the same!!" Yes ladies, maybe he is an arsehole, but if you let him treat you like one from the start then aren't you at least partly responsible for the outcome? I really wish more people realised their own issues dictate a lot of their experiences here.

    We all make mistakes when we first join RHP or start dating. Maybe put up with behaviour we shouldn't. Hindsight is a wonderful thing... So as long as we all learn from that, that's the main thing. I will admit that joining RHP and meeting the people that I have has changed my life. I had never really had the opportunity to talk to people who were on my wavelength when it came to sex and relationships. I have learnt so much and the half baked ideas I used to have in my head have developed into something more solid thanks to some wonderful people that I have met and spoken to. :) My sex life and experiences are unrecognizable from three years ago when I first joined Red Hot Pie. I think you meet people for a reason and everyone can teach you something. Even if that is to show how you don't want to be!!

    In my case, I have made some real good friends, had awesomely memorable dates, become wiser from reading the Forums because there are so many wisdoms in here to learn from :-) I think first up one needs to have a clear head/mind, meaning there's no emotional baggage, before signing up to any sites, especially on RHP. Secondly, be a real grown up person and carry the right concept and attitude towards sites like RHP. Thirdly, make sure you know what you want out of it, be respectful and be genuine. I personally against anyone who has double standards, is a time waster, and the Forums all time favourite topic........CHEATING!!!- Posted from rhpmobile

    I reveived a message from a couple calling me "pussy in boots" asking if I was interested. I wrote them a nice "thanks, but no thank you", only to receive a reply saying "so try with us and u .ll enjoying u .ll forget even ur name if u try trust me ??? " I replied: No is no I'm afraid. Then I got this: "baby why u afraid i like to meet u for drink or any think u like outside any place u choses i like to play with u women to women take a chance to have fun babe" Charming, but... what happened to "we"? Certainly an interesting change from the dozens of eloquent emails I receive everyday.

    I must admit that my idea of 'success' on here has changed since I first joined about eight months ago. Living in a smaller city which is thousands of kilometres away from the nearest capital, I do find it difficult to find people that I actually want to meet, and I haven't met many people at all since joining. This is particularly the case when it comes to some of the less conventional things that I want to experience, and I think that a lot of those things will have to wait until the rare occasions these days that I can travel to the larger cities. I did - and still do - find this pretty frustrating, as I'm not a very patient person by nature and for awhile there I was ready to give the whole thing the flick. But then in the meantime I started posting more regularly on the forums, and began to meet some great people that way, and I discovered how much I enjoy being able to discuss and learn about all manner of sexual topics with other like-minded people, as I don't get to do that much in my 'real life'. So I would say that my time here has still been a success, but just not in the way that I originally hoped. I'm sure though, that one day I will get to experience all those other things, and that all the knowledge I've gained from other people on here will be very helpful in my future adventures.

    I agree with the first few comments from MsD Success is measured in many forms - it's not the amount of notches on a belt - it's about how you can touch another persons life with positive energy, enjoy meeting new people n experiencing new n exciting opportunities! They say we only live once, but we live everyday - we only die once - success is what you make it!

    LD you put into words a lot of what I was going to say in terms of changed perspectives over time as to what I class as success. For me these days as a forum addict I have learned so much from everyone and have put all those devious ideas to very good use on MsAraps. So if I measure success on that level then yes it has been very successful.- Posted from rhpmobile

Definatley if and most do (for some amount of time), rate the level of success on "getting some" then well...... depending on the circumstances most would rate their experience unsuccessful. My hometown lacks the variety available 600Km south haha.Since joining all those years ago, I've met like 1 person who had the same ambitions as myself and wasn't hung up on anything - we didn't get physical but it was more than enough to have someone to share ideas with. It's nice to connect with people and share ideas/thoughts/experience and expectations. For myself, having reasonable expectations goes hand in hand with "being successful"

    along the the lines of Meeka's first post.If you know what you want and find someone (or couples, groups etc) that also want the same thing and want to do it with you that that's success. For me a success would be finding someone with whom I would be happy.

    Ms D quoted something from another thread saying that the first message wasnt that great. I approach RHP similar to RL in that I wont walk up to a stranger in a shopping centre/club/pub etc & start rattling off a list of sexual statistic's or desirable attributes etc .......... I will say a simple" Hi, how are ya" & based on their responce add more & build a whole conversation. So I will & do send a simple Hi, how are you type thing as a first message on here, However I have found that most people (women) on here have lost (or never had) the ability to build a conversation. As to success that is as varied as each of us & our individual tastes/ needs/ desires.

Getting a one-liner is not bad, it just tells me that the writer and I won't have much in common.

It really does seem that we are damned if we pen a well structured message & damned if we dont. (And no it wasnt having a go at you Ms D but a comment in general)

    I do receive some lovely emails (most around the 10 line mark) from members saying they liked my profile and telling me about them, their likes and experiences that would have been great... Except for the fact they never mention anything specific from my profile, nor my username. Nothing wrong with having a template for an initial message. Just personalise it a little for each person you send it to. And use their name!

    I don't think it matters how you define success - whether it is just getting laid or simply generating a stream of interactions with others that may or may not lead to more than a few emails exchanged .... the simple reality is as 50zkool stated - any meaningful measure of success requires that you simply be female (or ride the coat-tails of their gender as part of a couple)Sifting through piles of unsolicited emails on a daily basis "choosing" which one or two you will dignify with a response is not the experience many men enjoy while I suspect close to 100% of women do. Based on my experience so far and the comments of other men here, the generally experience is one of sifting through profiles, finding those that appeal, composing a thoughtful, relevant introductory email and then waiting in vain for even a cursory reply - most don't even get read. If we do get "chosen" and receive a 3 word reply I doubt many pick the semantics, tone, grammar or even content of the reply to pieces ... we just engage and pass those judgements later once a proper understanding of the other is gleaned.Note that 90% of the comments on this post are by women and couples who have little or no idea of the common experience of the vast majority of users on this (or any other similar) site.... of course more fool us for facilitating it. I console myself with the knowledge that nothing of any value ever comes easily.

    Well, I certainly don't have to sift through a hundred messages a day...but that's because I'm fussier these days. In the beginning (4 years ago now) I was more adventurous and had a lot more 'oomph' and confidence. Then I got knocked back by soooo many fellas who were arrogant, who thought they were sex on legs, who were not being honest, who turned out to have serious issues with treating women like crud. I can count my 'successes' on the fingers of one hand still, because a guy has to persevere if he wants to meet me. That being said, I met some nice men, made some happy memories and am still friends with the select few. If I took my measure of success as getting laid, I'd be a lot less successful than most men here, I reckon. But to be honest, I'd rather just meet someone nice, friendly and honest these days. It would make a seriously nice change. And if they were up for some sex too, that might round the evening off pretty well! :)
