I took online dating for a ride as it is on of the big thing that is in current trend. This is coupled with the fact that I was single with little female friends and compounded with the relentless advertising from those big websites.
After reading similar tips from another dating blog, here is my 2 cents worth of writings.
I scour the site for interesting profiles with little luck needless to say. A lot of the women online are making very basic mistakes that is making most guys close the profile. Here are the four most common offenses
1. Don’t pose for pictures. That is what the other author say. For me, it will be a case of placing a nice decent picture with good lighting. Do not use studio pics nor one with your super pouting lips. A little makeup is acceptable. After all, first impressions last.
2. Don’t complain about the last guy. The author is referring that those profiles that he encounter uses the site to complain about past boyfriends. For me, it is those ” I am a simple person looking for someone nice, loyal blah blah”. Come on ladies, what is so interesting about such a girl that will make u want to write ? Write something nice that intrigues and allows me to send a wink as a minimum. Close up your profile with someting like ” write to me if you believe that we can click. No reply guarantees but will certainly try to do so.”
3. Don’t overshare. Well. This is about overproiling. For me, do it with a twist and enough intruinging details. Need not write too much including grandmother stories.
4. Don’t make your pet a focal point. Well this ain’t a problem for my dating site. However, it does bother me when those ladies do not write anything except work, books reading etc. I am looking for a partner to share my life and activities. These type of profiles give me a dead-end feeling. Who will want to drive themself to a dead-end. And for guys, stop raving about your new car. It is tantamount to the pet.
