This is my first confession of online dating on this blog. Yes I date online. there. I said it. Okay now that that is out of the way....
I think I could write a book about what not to do when online dating...for guys. If I knew what girls shouldn't be doing, maybe the whole online dating thing would have worked for me by now!
There are the obvious turn offs when it comes to viewing ones profile, like having a bad photo or no photo of yourself or little to no text, etc. But I wanted to share some things that are instant turnoffs. I suspect guys think are helping their case, where in fact it is doing the opposite for me.
ooooo! just got a brilliant idea to share examples.... hmmm.... but then I'd have to actually look through a bunch of horrible profiles. And I just don't want to do that! maybe i'll share as I come across them...
What not to do on your profile:
-Shirtless photo, in the bathroom mirror, using your cel phone
-Lots of shirtless photos of yourself from multiple angles
-Starting your introduction with "I'm that guy who..." and then painting this fairy tale picture of a knight in shining armor who will take me away with all of his chivalry.
-Negativity or bitterness towards girls and obviously have a chip on your shoulder (see here)
-Have tons of girls in your photos (perhaps they want to seem appealing to the opposite sex but really you just look like a player)
-Overselling - stating in the first sentence how big your house is and how much money you make, one pic of yourself and 10 of you house, boat, car, big vacation, etc.
