- 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?”
