It’s true, it’s another online dating / matchmaking rant. I apologize, but must write this, indulge me for a moment.
- Men, if you are seeking out a mature, sophisticated and sexy woman perhaps it’s best to not have an interest in an age group that ranges from 18 to 45. You see for women like me that’s a huge red flag. You don’t know if you want someone who is just getting out of high school or someone who actually has had time to develop a career.
- If you want to attract an intelligent woman you may want to use spell check on your profile, poor spelling and grammar is a major turn off and makes you seem extremely uneducated.
- If you have an interest in someone, don’t just send a message that says “you should go out with me.” It just seems presumptuous and as if you you have created a message that you can cut and paste to hundreds of women.
- If you send a message to someone, you may want to print off the list and check off as you email especially if you are sending the same message to every woman. It somewhat puts a bad taste in a woman’s mouth when they receive the same exact email from you 3 to 5 times. Knock it off!
- Do you realize that women have friends that are on Match? That’s right and we talk. We know when you are using the same techniques to pick up on us and we talk about it! Be original, not all women are the same. Find what you have in common and talk about that. Stop cutting and pasting it’s lazy and irritating! For example a friend and I both received this same message — TWICE!
- Don’t use old photos. People talk about this all the time, especially men. The truth is many of the men do the same damn thing. If you’ve been on match longer than a year and you haven’t updated your photos — get a clue!
- If you don’t have a photo what is the point? There are three reasons guys don’t have photos on their profile. They include:
Great profile and pics. I would love to send you mine and get to know you better. I am 6’0, short black hair, blue eyes, 180lbs and in great shape. I work as the VP of an investment bank in Overland Park and currently have a corporate apartment, trying to sell my place in St. Louis to make the transition here full time. I do work here during the week and love being back in KC. My email address is Braveheart3314@talkmatch.com. Hope to hear from you soon.
Take care
Jeff
- They are married or involved
- They are just plain unattractive and pretending to be all that.
- They have a high-profile job that does not allow them to share photos (ummm ok that may be .5% of those without photos)
