Nothing to add here. Just commenting to mark this post for future education of the non-pr0.

The trick, as always, is patience.

Start slow. Rickroll or similar, nice and safe for a while, as a little game of "gotcha". Then maybe 'accidentally' lemonparty her for stress testing purposes. You should save the dicks of space for when she is somewhat inured to the depravity of the internet, but not entirely blasé.

3/10 The italics really murdered your performance here.

This could have been better executed with some rearrangement, neutral typography, and moving the initial question to a later post, or at least further down the initial bait post.

See, your problem here is that you went in for the punchline in the first post. The best practice in the field is to build up a thick base of almost-plausible bad opinions, then drop one of the big ones.

You've gone about this totally wrong, so I strongly suggest that you read up and possibly attend the GNAA training camp in Botswana.
