This "be a jerk" thing that the Pickup Scam Artist society advocates only work in the real world. I've tried this online with disastrous results. I think this needs to be combined with an effective body language to be successful. The self-effacing thing works, however, if much of your communication is done via e-mail, text, or old skool IRC and SMS. I got a 9 back in college by being self-effacing online, but it didn't really work out after we physically met. So, here's my proposed solution: be vulnerable online but be confident offline.

Answer: there is no Redbox DVD rental service in my location, you insensitive clod. :) The (legal) DVD stores in my location only sells old movies. The legal stores have actually reduced their price to match the price of an illegal DVD, but they still don't have the advantage of being able to sell the latest movies.
