Have you ever wondered if someone has a list of “DO’s and DON’Ts” for online dating? Here is a fairly basic list of some tips I have compiled over the years…
*DO upload a photo – users with photos are 15x more likely to get a match! DON’T upload a photo that has a bunch of people in it – how will we know which one is YOU? Lots of men have photos with exes, kids, dead animals or (even better) photos where they are giving me the finger. None of these things inspires a match, gentlemen.
*DO smile and show your face – DON’T wear sunglasses or a mask. DON’T use heavy filters either – no one wants to date a zombie with bright red eyes made of flames.
*DO dress appropriately. DON’T take topless selfies in the mirror ESPECIALLY with a pile of dirty laundry on your bedroom floor or a URINAL in view. Serious ick!
*DO use humour – most women admit they are attracted to lighthearted, funny guys.
*DO use spellcheck – there is nothing worse than sounding like you have a low IQ. Know the difference between “there”, “their” and “they’re”.
*DO respond – nothing shows a lack of interest more than a man that can’t be bothered to chat. DON’T make it like an ‘interview’ but DON’T use one-word answers either!
Good luck finding your match – DO have fun and DON’T give up on love!
