INTERNET DATING AT ITS BEST/WORST
of time I noticed a theme, of sorts, that can best be described as poorly executed. You may need to rework the way you present yourself. After all, who you meet is an important matter whether you just date, have a new friend or end up marrying.
The perfect profile for iDating
I like to have fun but know when to be serious.
Don’t we all want to have fun? Isn’t this a given? Then why do 80% of profiles state that they want to have fun?
I like going out but can stay in and snuggle just as well.
Again,
I think we all like to go out and snuggle when we get home. Maybe state things that are not so obvious!
I can even stand in the doorway and be happy.
If You really want to cover all bases, you may want to mention this position, too?
My glass is half full.
Then why are you on medication for depression?
I value loyalty, truthfulness and goodness but I want a man with an edge
Men with an edge are pigs! Don’t expect loyalty and truthfulness.
I like living on the edge but only of a small curb where there is no traffic
That’s because you are loyal!
I love sports as long as they don’t interfere with my gardening.
You’re trying too hard to be accepted?
I love scuba diving in my above-ground pool.
Don’t tell us about all the activities you don’t really like to do.
The Basics
Some of the profiles are absolute turnoffs. I hope you can tell if your own profile is guilty of being poorly written and fix it before life passes you by.
Spelling and grammar mistakes say something about you on a subtle level. I know you think everyone will excuse you, thinking you were just in a rush, and some will, but the quality guys and gals who speak English properly will not give you a pass. Have your fifth grade teacher edit your profile to make sure it’s well written.
Here’s some more help
Get a profile name that exudes greatness and is an amalgamation of all things good. I just saw one that said, Mizery13. Is this a joke, or is this a very depressed person? Maybe Happy Girl 7 says it better.
What about that cleavage?
Now here’s a subject that needs to be addressed. There are so many “come hither” photos. I suppose there are some women who believe in the “sex sells” phenomenon. They are actually on to something – sex does sell! What they may be missing is that they are actually selling sex, perhaps to their detriment if they are looking for a meaningful relationship rather than a roll in the hay.
It’s rather funny to see how many photos are taken with women bending down to put on their shoe. WTF. I suppose they weren’t ready for the photo and since there were none others they posted this one…or is it because when you bend over to adjust your shoe, your cleavage explodes forth from the tight shirt that just so happened to have the top three buttons undone.
If you’re going to take a photo half-dressed, why leave us wondering about the rest of the package? Take a shot adjusting your garter-belt and thong! Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I think revealing oneself in a hooch-manner may be sending the wrong message though I‘m sure it works. Just don’t complain about attracting the players.
Exhibitionism works both ways. Do you really think a guy who posts photos with in his muscle shirt or without a shirt is the type of guy who is interested in a quality relationship? While most of us have some level of exhibitionist tendencies, it’s not one of those traits that breed quality kind of people.
Interestingly, those who can’t seem to walk with head held high based in their intrinsic worth tend to go to the extreme. There are those folks who need to find something to substitute for substance. There are those who do the “gym thing” to develop admirable bodies while others opt for showing “the goods” (cleavage et al) and others take it to another level by going the ink and piercing root. Yes, they paint their bodies with assorted tattoos and pierce their faces to extreme. Then they enjoy the stares that they somehow think of as admiration while they are often getting stares of “What were you thinking?”
The Guys Profile Test –
Here is a simple test to see if you learned anything today. Read through this profile and see if there is anything that you feel sends the wrong message or that could have been better constructed by using the hints offered above.
My friends all say I’m miserable, rude, boring and not to be trusted. I don’t like having fun and would much rather stay in the house sulking. I don’t even own a glass, but if I did, there would be no bottom – hence – it would be empty. I watch a lot of TV after hours of watching porn, the later being my preference. For a first date I think we should meet at a public water fountain. That way no one has to pay for coffee in case we realize we are not a match. I had a dog, but he left home because I used to forget to feed him one too many times, but he was loyal (like me) when I remembered to feed him. Well that’s about it, so take a look at my photos of me in my Speedo. I think you may especially like the one showing the tattoo that covers my back with the picture of me on my friends Harley (well not actually my friend, it was at the curb outside this biker bar and I just got on it for the photo). Well that’s all I can think of to tell to you so, so long for now, and I hope we can meet really soon and maybe get married if the sex is good. Yours truly, Satan666
The Girls Profile - Test
My friends all say I'm a great shopper at retail outlets. While they often think of me as being catty, I take that to mean feline in appearance. I like to have fun, and if you want to find me, check out the beach to find me just chilling. The last book I read was Jane and Tom Go to School. I like the part about Jiff, the dog, running. To quote: "Run Jiff, run." I think it's the plot that gives me chills ever since I first read those words in second grade - a real classic. With lights down low, I like to snuggle, but don't think snuggle means sex because it doesn't. It means: to snuggle. My Champagne glass is always mostly full and I'm working on that issue at AA. Here's a picture of me putting on my shoe - forget the shoe, take a look at my boobs. I got a good deal on them, 3.5K by an Indian surgeon - can't pronounce his name. I'd give you his number but he had to go back to India suddenly. Anyway, as you can see, I do well with 36 double D's. Just make sure you look at all my photos because as you will see, I shop at all the finer stores. Well, that's it for now. I hope we can do one of those simple first dates at a high-end steakhouse. I find that high calorie food helps me maintain a tight fit in my Victoria Secret pushup bras. FYI I am interested in marriage as long as you don't expect sex too often. Once a month is a compatible number for me - what say you? Yours Truly, Bitch4U
I shall try to put in more what "to do" comments in the future. Yes, I Date and there are many ads I approve of, but they are not as interesting as the failures. Besides, we learn from mistakes - hopefully others!
Thanks for reading,
MD
Another old saying...can' judge a book by its cover. Need to read a couple of chapters.
