So it seems I have struck somewhat of a nerve in the online dating experience for women. I know some men who have had their issues with it as well but until I get some to follow and comment on my blog, it’s going to the women.
So here goes girls, and my one guy. Hopefully you will have some company soon. Since Stella is fond of you I am guessing you probably didn’t do any of these things anyway.
Okay boys, listen up.
Number one…. your picture.
Let it be a picture of you please. Just what do you think you’re getting away with anyway? If the girl likes you, and you go to meet, you are totally found out. No excuse or deflection will change the fact that she now thinks you are a liar. Same thing goes for height and body type. You are not pulling anything over on anyone.
Once you find a picture that is actually you, please make sure it was taken sometime in the last 12 months. I don’t care what you looked like in high school.
Grooming gentlemen is huge!
Please, if you don’t have any recent photos, and are going to take one of yourself, first take a shower. A little gel and a clean shirt never killed anyone. I feel like I am talking to my boys. Yes, you need to wear a shirt. You just look like a boob if you don’t. My friends have had a lot of comments about this one, so I will leave it up to them and am counting on them to get this going.
The cell phone pictures in the mirror look stupid! Enough said. Also, if you are taking a web cam photo and feel the need to take 20 of them, change it up a little. Take a break, change your shirt or at very least your facial expression, and for Christ sake, clean off the table full of old McDonald’s takeout bags behind you!!!!!
Now that we have dealt with your picture, lets move on to number two… read the damn profile.
If my profile says I want someone between 36 and 45 and someone over 5’10” and you do not fall into that category, please don’t e-mail me. I am sorry if you take it personally or think you are so wonderful and what I want doesn’t matter but it matters to me. You may not like it or understand it, please respect it.
Number three… live in the real world not the cyber world
Lets get one thing straight. If you are one of those middle-aged, overweight, hygienically challenged males out there, you do not get the supermodel girlfriend. Unless you are Donald Trump. Look in the mirror dude, and take a little pride in yourself if you want anyone else to be proud to be with you!
Number four…bragging through chat on your worldly possessions and accolades
If you do get to the point where you are actually conversing with a girl, I would suggest you don’t tell her how long your boat is in any of the early conversations. She may be left wondering what you are compensating for in other areas.
Well, I think I have said my peace for now. I am opening it up to you all to share. I am new at all of this and if I have observed what I have in this short amount of time, I am sure you all have some great stories too.
Let's see, I've met a "John Goodman" fat, smelly, couldn't brush teeth or shower for our date, guy who used pics from years ago. I met the weird 36 yr old who still lives with his mother, wore sneakers that looked like they were attacked by a dog, and wouldn't let me leave without making a second date; very scary dude. I met the sex addict who was on major antidepressants. I have been winked by more men over the age of 60 than I would like to mention. Oh and don't forget the cop who divorced his wife, but they still had some kinky relationship going on while he was out searching for dates; me. Yup, it goes with out saying: online dating has its many frogs b4 you find the prince.
ReplyDeleteLOL! What is it with the older men anyway? Scary, for sure. Thinking of posting some photos of the worst of the worst on here. That could be fun!
ReplyDeleteI met a man who I tought was 47 and said was 37. I believed him because he had a 2yrold and 5yr old. Started off a great guy until his kids started calling me Mama after I met them one time at a McDonalds and he thought that was the greatest thing. He told them I was going to be their new mom? Ummmm hello I had only had a few dates with this dude. So I came to realize he was 47yrs old which ok I could deal with but he was loved really really old country music, his favorite pass time was NASCAR, hunting, fishing and I learned he carried a concealed weapon for what reason I still dont know. But when he came over to my house at 1am drunk as a skunk and I made him sleep on my couch cause I didnt want him to drive home he decided to bring his weapon in my home and wanted to show me how to safely use it. I was like dude go to sleep. My God my kids were in the house. He was muttering all night how much he loved me blah blah blah. I was too afraid to leave him alone in my home with my kids asleep upstairs so I slept on a chair. I woke him up at 5am and told him to leave and never ever spoke to his redneck ass again. OMG I mean give me a break. Before that I met an incredibly handsome man who thank Jesus lived a 3hrs away but got some of my personal info (from my wallet) and stole my identety. When I confronted him about it well lets just say he is lucky is not doing jail time for assult. Found out through a friend that he ran off with his best friends 16yr old daughter (the guy was 36yrs old). Uggggggg Sucky being single and guys are relentless especially the younger ones. I made sure to do my research on anyone I dated and now I am happily remarried to a wonderful man. So good things do come ya just got to laugh about the crap and move on.
