Here's a little secret that those of the female
persuasion keep from us guys: Women, even very beautiful women, like to
be approached by a confident and interesting man. Are you surprised?
It's true...and confident and interesting are much more important than
looks to ladies of all ages, too. That's true for internet dating, as
well as, dating in your brick and mortar world but we're talking about
internet dating here...so back to the subject at hand.
Once you have joined an online dating service, you will find that there
a lot more men than women and that the men are much more likely to
browse profiles and make initial contacts than women. Yes, it's a
woman's world...still. It's "traditional" for men to make the first
move. It always has been and it always will be. Some things never
change. That's why your profile and picture are so important.
Remember...confident and interesting....and that does not translate to
cocky and self-centered. It's important that your profile lets people
know that you have friends you care about and that you are passionately
interested in a variety of things...not JUST sports. Another thing
about that all-important profile....please don't start it with, "I'm
the guy your mama warned you about".
You will have just shot yourself in the foot with that line. Another
one to never use is, "I could be the man of your dreams". The lady
HOPES you are but she will be the judge of that...so don't insult her
intelligence. Remember....exude confidence and interesting and you will
find that lady you have been looking for...or she will find you.
Won't it be nice to have the ladies contacting you instead of you
having to do everything? If you write a great profile that stands out
in the crowd, that will happen.
