Profile, Profile, Profile!
A hot profile is one of the easiest and most important ways to attract other guys online. Many guys email me to ask why guys look at their profile but don't get in touch. When I go take a look, they have no pics, no description and no stats! How is anyone supposed to know if they want to hook up with you, if they don't know anything about you?

Make sure you upload pics! I can't stress this enough. These days, with camera phones, webcams, cheap digital cameras etc - anyone who has a computer can probably get access to a pic of themselves. If you really don't know how or can't, try getting a sex buddy to take some pics and upload them for you. They don't have to include your face if you require discretion, or you can keep them private and share them only with guys you want to hook up with. Pics of you in action (getting fucked or blown, sucking cock, jerking off etc) are always a particularly HUGE hit with other surfers.

Make sure you fill in a description of yourself - indicate what you're looking for and what you have to offer. It can be brief, but make it sexy!

Fill in your stats. Most guys really do want to know how big it is, if it's cut or uncut, etc. If you don't provide this info, some guys might take the time to ask, but most won't, and you'll lose out on tons of potential action. And, if you have specific areas you can travel to, can entertain or need someone else to, have specific top/bottom/versatile preferences, specific fetishes, etc etc, your profile is the best place to list these. That way, guys who don't meet your needs will know not to get in touch, and guys who do will!

Making a connection.
Like with all Cruising, it takes a little effort to get another guy interested, or let him know you are. Since you can't use eye contact and grabbing your cock on the net, try these methods...
Send him a message. It doesn't have to be long. Send him one word - Hot! or something more if you want. At least something that acknowledges you saw him and liked what you saw. If he gets back, great!

As with other Cruising locations, there can be a lot standing around grabbing your own cock while on the net. It doesn't have to be that way - as it is with real life Cruising, it is always best to jump in and get the action started yourself!

If you want to get noticed more, use different areas of the site more often. Get your username out there and other guys will get in touch!

Most of all - be clear and up front about what you want and what you don't, including your safer sex preferences.

General online etiquette.
If someone takes the time to email you, be courteous and give him a response. If you aren't into him, a polite "I don't think we're a good match" or "No thanks, but good luck" is a nice way to let him know.

No matter how sexy you think your posts are, guys don't want to read them a hundred times. Put it out there and wait for a response.

If you want attention online, make sure you DON'T have your profile set to private. First, you won't get any responses at all, and second, it sends the message that you aren't looking for action.

If you set up a meet, make sure you show up. If something comes up and you couldn't make it, let the guy know. Give him a call if you've exchanged numbers, or at least drop him an email to explain. Before the meet is scheduled is always better so he doesn't show up, but if that's not possible - at least after the fact to explain what happened.

Remember - community members talk to each other, if you set up a bunch of meets and never show it'll take about five minutes for everyone to know not to hook up with you.

Planning a hook up.
Here are tips on how to have a hot hook up with someone you meet online.

Exchange emails first, to get an idea if you are both looking for the same thing. Make it hot and sexy, but be clear what you do and don't do. There's nothing worse than getting hard and horny for a meet and finding out once you get there that you really aren't into the same scenes.

If at all possible, exchange a face pic. Surprise! Not everyone on the net is exactly as they describe themselves. If looks matter to you, get a pic and ask if it's recent.

Likewise, be honest about who you are. Be up front about your age, stats, looks etc. It's easy to fool someone online, but not in person. So if you ever want to actually hook up and get off, be up front from the start or risk facing his disappointment and rejection when you meet.
If you're concerned whether or not he'll show, arrange the meet for somewhere you would want to go anyway. If it's a coffee shop, bring a book and if he doesn't show, enjoy a coffee and your book.

If you really want to get laid, arrange your first meet for a Sauna or Adult Bookstore somewhere you'll be able to get sex anyway.
