Hey, all you men out there looking for love need to know what women think of your online dating profile. Maybe you’re just trying to get back in the dating pool; maybe you want a hookup; or maybe you don’t know how to get started. Well, I’m here to give you some tips. How to attract decent, down-to-earth women looking for simple fun or their next new relationship. Either way, you need to be a gentleman, not the guy who gets a girl's number and then pushes it downhill in a hurry. Some of the things men place out there are offensive. Gathered from a pool of several women, let’s start with what most females do not want to see once you’ve made initial contact. • You are in your bathroom half-naked, taking a photo in your mirror (amateur) • At the gym with your shirt off • Leaving nothing for her imagination; I mean really, you think that’s going to get you a woman? • Your fish - dude, no one wants to see how big your fish are • Political nutcases – e.g., Trump supporters, please step left & out • Making fun of someone else’s profile • Lying to get a date • D**k pics of any kind are unacceptable…please are you that much of a boy? • Old photos of you that you are 20 years younger, when you look completely different now • Asking for your number right after you meet; settle down, if the woman is worth it be patient • Try to stick to one dating app, not ALL of them; It looks like you want to hook up with anyone who may swipe right (which is what many guys want but we don’t) . Now, here are some things you can do for a decent, real profile: • Be yourself • Be honest • Pay to be a subscriber, which means you’re serious • Keep your photos current • Fill out your profile and pay the fee to be verified or subscribed • If you need to learn how to take great photos of yourself, ask a friend • Find a connection and keep it cool until it’s time to ask her out • Then, ask her out; no one wants an online relationship long-term • Be a gentleman, not a woman likes an ahole • DO NOT ghost anyone; tell them flat out you’re not interested, be an adult, for god’s sake Women want a man who is calm, cool, and confident. Guys pull yourselves together! Here are some questions to consider: • Why would you show yourself naked? • What is your purpose? • Why would you not use words – you are an adult, aren’t you? • What do you want are you seeking, be honest?
