So I signed up for a few online dating sites and so far haven't been out on a single date.
This seems to be the norm from what I hear.
There are a few things that really annoy me so far that I'm gonna share with y'all. Maybe a few men will read this and take some pointers.
1. Your Profile Picture
There are a lot of idiot guys out there, and us girls are looking at online dating as a way to avoid them rather than find more. Maybe you men don't realize the importance of the picture you post, but us women are analyzing them for clues about the person you are. There are a lot of REALLY BAD pictures out there! I don't mean just unattractive men, everybody has their own type, and attraction is entirely subjective so if I don't find a man attractive then oh well, I'm sure there is someone out there who will.
What I'm referring to is the subtext of your picture, the message you are sending to all us women out there that has you comin across as a jack ass.
DO NOT crop a pic of you and your ex and post it on a dating site. It sends a clear message that your either still in a relationship, or recently broke up. Neither of those are attractive. It also implies laziness on your part that you can't take a new picture.
DO NOT take a picture of yourself in your messy messy room. Get off your ass and clean it. Nobody finds slobs attractive. NOBODY! If you're determined to live in filth, you will be living there alone.
DO NOT post a pic of you in a hat and dark sunglasses. Sure it's your style, and that's all fine and good, but women want to see what you look like. If you have to post that picture make sure you have another one posted that shows you without them on.
DO NOT post gym pictures! Great you work out, that's awesome and that probably shows through in pictures of you wearing your clothes and not dripping with sweat. Not that us girls don't enjoy all your muscles and the effort you put into them, but the fact that in the middle of your workout you stopped, posed in front of the full length mirrors and snapped a picture or several makes you look like a vain and arrogant asshole.
DO NOT not post a picture, if you don't have a profile picture posted then we assume you're a nasty looking perv that we don't want anything to do with.
2. YOUR PROFILE
A blank profile gives us nothing to work with, no information means no response.
BE HONEST if you're just looking for an easy lay than say so. Women respect honesty.
DO NOT say you're looking for your soul mate, then say you're not really interested in dating. It's a stupid waste of everyone's time.
3. OUR PROFILE
If you want to respond to someone's profile make sure you read it first! It's really annoying to get a message asking you all the things that are already posted for all the world to see. It shows that you aren't capable of paying attention, not an attractive quality.
Don't message a woman and ask for more pictures. The ones we're comfortable with posting are already there. Asking for more sounds like you want pics to jerk off too, which is nasty!
Don't message a woman's profile with a ridiculous "dtf?" if you do you're an idiot. There are plenty of sites available for all you pervs that just wanna screw random people.
