Many members worry about appearing ‘desperate’ or over keen. This can mean putting in less effort into a profile in a bid to ‘play it cool’. Of course, nobody wishes to be seen as desperate. However, keep this in mind: how will others know what you want, if you don’t ask for it? How will they ever appreciate your finer qualities if you remain tightlipped?

If there is little information about a prospective date, then they are more than likely to skim over an empty profile as quickly as possible. Look at this as a great chance to sell yourself!

The first aspect of your profile to consider should be your photo. No matter how much emphasis people put on the importance of personality, the old expression, ‘it’s nice to put a face to a name’ couldn’t be more apt.

1) Online dating is the most amazing gift to men invented since woman herself. (Well, most women.)

Think about it for a moment. For one small flat fee (and sometimes for no fee at all) you can scope out women, learn what they like, what they don’t like, check out their picture and actually begin swapping emails, IMs and talking with them.

Here’s what you don’t have: To get dressed up; to gas up your car; to spend hours of your prime time; to buy drinks for people you don’t’ know; to fail in public.

On balance, it’s a pretty convenient and effective method of meeting women.

I know what you are going through and it can be a lonely place when you aren’t getting the results you desire. In this situation you have to hang in there and never give up!

Tip #1

Test your replies from what you write in your first and second emails. Save your emails in a file and use the ones that get the most replies as templates…everyone is unique though.

In 2004, it was estimated that residents in the U.S. spent more than $460 million on Online Dating Services.

The Internet has become the ultimate haven for singles – without the drunks, the noise, and the exorbitant cost you pay to be in the bars desperately hoping to be noticed.

Online dating has for some time had an aura about it that people who get involved in it are “losers” who couldn’t get themselves a date in the “real world”. This is COMPLETE AND UTTER B.S.

The main reason that many people fail using Online Dating Services is simply that they don’t have the knowledge to market themselves to the opposite sex.

The fact of the matter is that online dating is all about being able to market yourself to the opposite sex. In that respect it’s very much like a business.

In business the company goes out in search of customers who would have an interest in their product or service. They’d do this by advertising in places where prospective customers would see their advertising.

Receiving a flirt

When another singles first sends you a flirt for that initial contact and they provide no other information. They should at least send you an e-mail first as an introduction.

Most services provide smiles and winks on their trials before you’re allowed any e-mails. But these should only be used on singles that have at least browsed your profile.

No photo

With today’s technology every member of an online dating service should have a photo on their profile. If they haven’t there must be a reason for it, and it’s probably not a good one. Even a photo of poor quality is better than no photo. If it’s very poor quality your judgement will need to come into play.

Even when you are just browsing the personals you can see what another singles good points are, and what they look like.
