Kamloops Singles and Dating

You feel like you’ve wasted your hard-earned money because your not getting the response you expected from your online dating forum; you’ve probably written a profile with some serious mistakes that’s making sure you get ignored.

Everybody needs a little help, following are some of the most egregious errors guys usually make and some solid hints on how to fix them:

Mistake #1: Don’t Use “Guy Speak” When You’re Building Your Online Dating Profile.

Sure, you’re a guy and you talk like a guy. But, this is the first step in thinning the herd. You’ve got to talk in a way that women appreciate. Men are usually no-nonsense creatures when it comes to things, facts, about themselves. They tend to be terse, such as: “I’m tall.” “I rise early.”

Statements like those are lady-killers and not in a good way. Think about it, a woman doesn’t want a series of little factoids. That’s yawn city. A woman wants to know the spirit, the man wrapped around those facts; not the facts themselves. That’s where a thing called personality comes into play; show it off.

The Fix: Weave stories around the facts of your life that let her see who you are. Wax poetic: “When I go camping in the woods, I love the way the morning sun dapples the forest floor.” Dig? You’ve told her so much more about yourself than, “I like to go camping.”

Mistake #2: “Every Picture Tells a Story.” Don’t Make Yours a Fright Tale.

Look at your picture long and hard, because she will, too. Most guys rattle through a shoebox, find some blurry old picture of themselves hoisting a brew, and slap it on the scanner. What does that say to her? Not much, certainly nothing flattering.

You may have an awesome body that you’ve worked real hard to get real hard. But body shots lack class. The most they impart is that you’re only interested in a physical relationship. That to you, internet dating is sex dating, period.

The Fix: Get a picture worth a thousand words that are all about you. Don’t rush off to the studio to get a portrait done; use the one of you smiling over a campfire as you fry up some fish. Or even reading a book, if you’re that sort of guy.

Mistake #3: Profile Name That Elicits Groans.

Your profile name is very important. Don’t do boring such as “Robert1985″. Skip the pathetic, no matter how true: “Desperate4Luv” or “ShyGuy85″. Put some thought into it.

The Fix: You need something memorable and interesting, just like yourself, such as “Gears&Guitars” if you’re into hot cars and hot rock. An overtly sexual user name is, once again, a little pathetic. But a name that could be taken one of two ways might work. “AnimalLover” could work if you are a veterinarian or love animals.

Following these words of advice will help you immensely when you sit down and start crafting your online profile. And the women will take note.

Stand back, you may find the women messaging you, rather than vice versa, once you post.
