Don't worry it's all cool. With all the PUA advice out there, it's perfectly reasonable to be skeptical of anyone who gives advice on this kind of stuff. It's all good, don't worry guys.

I think that's pretty useful advice. I'd follow it but I guess a part of me wants women to see my flaws so they make an honest decision (even if that takes forever).
Well, I think the main problem is that people DON'T show enough of themselves. Whether it is short profiles, short messages, only one pic. Meeting someone on the internet is a big deal to many people and that's why you have to make a more compelling case.
There's nothing wrong with showing some of your flaws early on, but you don't want to show too many of them. You can't just turn on the gusher and let your flaws out. People need to know you better before they can put them into context.
95% of people have boring/short profiles, weak/not enough photos, and/or they send short boring desperate-sounding or generic boilerplate messages. And they are so easy to pass up, considering the large number of people on these kinds of sites. If you step above most of the people who use these sites by not being lazy or cliche about your profile, then you are in a good position.
