Advice to Men Designing Online Dating Profiles (From a woman also on online dating)
- Smile. For Heaven’s sake, why do men think they look better without a smile. Seriously. Smile.
- Be yourself. We can tell when you are trying to say what you think we want to read.
- Post a picture already. Of yourself. Not your dog, your motorcycle, your favorite team logo.
- If you must include a grown woman in your photos, it better be your mother or daughter, and you must explain it.
- Do NOT include any other grown women. At all.
- Don’t mention her in your profile.
- Don’t caption about her in a picture where we couldn’t even tell there was a woman.
- Don’t post a picture with her clearly cropped out.
- One serious picture is okay. The rest should include smiles.
- If you are going to start the conversation, make it more than “Hi”.
- Also “You are gorgeous” is not an acceptable opening line.
- And “U R Cute” is not cute at all.
- If the other person initiates the conversation, answer with more than 2 sentences.
- If you want a conversation to continue, ask a question.
- Not “how are you?”
- Not “what u doing?”
- Put some effort into your profile.
- Did I mention SMILE?
Things I Wonder
- Is it better to dry my clothes on medium for a longer period of time, or high for a shorter period of time?
- How do I use the keyless entry code on my car?
- When will Raven find love?
- Have Nick and Vanessa already broken up?
- When does Bachelor In Paradise start?
- What caused my ankles to suddenly swell a few months ago and to suddenly stop swelling a couple weeks ago?
- What’s the name of a good dentist in town?
- Who put the Ram in the Ramalama Dingdong?
- Can a person live on citrus alone?
- Can Sandra possibly win Survivor again?
- Exactly how much does Alexa hear while sitting on the kitchen counter?
- Why did Brad’s wife get fired from Cracker Barrel Old Country Store?
- When will it officially be sandal weather?
- What novel should I read next?
- What is a good cheap beach where I can spend a few days?
