Online Dating Advice for Guys

All the Single Men!Ok guys, it’s your turn! Last time I called out the ladies and asked them gently not to lie about certain things online and now it’s time to let you guys know what makes us “click”– on your profile that is! In this day and age, it’s never been easier or more confusing to jump into the
 world of online dating. Although there are many run of the mill type sites available, there are also some fairly high-tech ones and some niche ones. For instance, Romeomeetsjuliet.com allows you to meet singles in a virtual bar, use a web cam and instant message! This is so important for those skeptics who are afraid that who they see in a picture is not who will show up on the lunch date! Meanwhile a site like datehotmillionaires.com caters to wealthy dating, and those with higher incomes. In other words, there is something for everyone! Romeomeetsjuliet.com also offers personalized matchmaking, not based on a computer but based on the whole package. Check out several sites before you decide!What I would like to do is focus on profile do’s and don’ts! First, guys please do not post the famous photo with your ex chopped off at the point of her blonde locks. I am sure there are photos you took with your ex that make you look really good, but at this point, it makes the viewer feel as though you are either not over your ex, or that is it a very old photo, both of which are not exactly a turn-on for women. Women want to be special and are looking for that special guy! Having a picture posted with your ex in the picture is just wrong! Also, avoi posting pictures of you and your kids. Although you may be dad of the year, this is left for conversation later in the process. Posting a picture with your kids sends the message that you are all about your kids and may not have room in your life for a relationship. The only caveat to that is if you are on a site for single parents. If you don’t have a decent picture, consider having one professionally taken. This can be a great investment and make you look your absolute best!
