If you are having trouble meeting men in real life, maybe it is time to consider online dating. More and more people are doing it, which increases your odds of success. Online dating has a lot of advantages over traditional dating. Christian Carter offers some great tips for women trying their hand at finding love online, a few of which I will cover below.
One huge advantage of online dating is the opportunity to skim many profiles, picking and choosing. This is a type of control that doesn't exist in real life. You also have the power to attract the type of man you want, by creating a profile geared to attract him.
When creating a profile, you need to keep in mind that there are thousands of other women out there doing the same thing, so yours needs to stand out somehow. Reading other women's profiles can give you a good idea of what to avoid. Storytelling is a great way to differentiate yourself from the other ladies online. Instead of describing yourself, tell a story that does it for you. This will make you stand out.
One of the first things you will want to do when you set up your profile is to set up an email account that is not in any way linked to your personal email account. This will help you to keep track of your responses, as well as keeping respondents an arm's length away from your personal account. This will also make it easy for you to delete your account, need be.
Your picture is worth a thousand words, so make it count. Don't be trashy; avoid showing too much skin or being too provocative. I think we both know exactly what sort of attention that will attract, and it is definitely not the way to meet a guy with long-term potential. Make good eye contact in your picture, and sport your most winning smile. Glamour shots are never a good idea, unless you really do wear that much makeup and hairspray in real life!
Keep it light and easy, and above all, positive. Don't list things you hate. Instead, focus on the things you love. Write about what makes you laugh, what you do for fun, and how you want to share that with the right guy. These are the sorts of things that make men want to contact you right off the bat.
Don't trash talk your ex, or other women. This just makes you look insecure and unappealing, and is likely to scare off Mister Right.
If you stick to some of these guidelines in your profile, you will be shocked at how many responses you will get in the fist day. But don't take it from me, go ahead and try it yourself.
