Online Dating Profile Don’ts

Online dating is extremely superficial. I will only read a profile if the photo impresses me. Considering men are visual creatures, I am shocked that they don’t understand the value of having great photos. Women are also known for reading into things.

He was smart, good looking, works out regularly, eats meat, loved my stories…the 2 and a half hours flew by, and I didn’t even need to get drunk. Win-win, most would say. There’s a secret women share that I’m not sure most men know about…immediately... [Read more]
