A couple of points:

1. The main goal of baiting lads is to waste their time so that they are distracted from others who might really believe their emails. Our second goal is to have fun. In that vein, asking for a photo in the first or second reply will sound like you don't believe him. That means we are more work than another mugu. I tried your technique and it got me almost no responses. I do ask for photos but not so quickly. Build the relationship first. I liked how you handled Solomon and the Fati Family. But you were very aggressive with John. I don't know if John was your first or last bait.

I almost always send my photo without being asked for it. I find it breaks down the wall between me and the lad. I accept the lad's first photo without question. Only when the lad does something to break my trust do I ask for another photo. And my big slap is a photo with a sign. I have had to pull this out only once of out about 40 baits. I didn't get the photo but I got lots of others.

2. I'm not sure about the (617) number in the Solomon bait is a personal number or not. If it is a personal number, change your posting and block out at least the last four digits. You realize that bots traverse the internet and that number will be public knowledge very soon.

Hopefully you're enjoying this and finding it a creative way to use the internet. I personally think of this as akin to strategy game on the internet. Going after the bad guys, providing traps for them, etc. And I'm sure you've found the published posts to have a wealth of techniques and ideas to incorporate in your baits. Use them and have fun. The elusive photo will be yours when you decode the right buttons to push on the lad. He needs to believe you are serious enough to waste getting a photo and scanning the image. Make yourself believeable to the lad and he will do anything you ask.

Hope this helps.

I've updated the pictures, thanks.

Yeah I've tried the less aggressive route and it seems to be working out a bit better.

Great advice from both of you

Shish.
