And so it begins!

So, I did it. I’m officially on a dating site. OMG. Scary. I’m in no hurry so I think that is helpful, you know, to not jump right into it with whoever shows some interest first. I saw that guy and read his profile. I kindly say NO THANK YOU. This is going to be like finding the needle in a haystack.

Here’s what I’ve noticed so far:

·         Very few men are able to take an decent selfie. I didn’t think this was a hard thing, but clearly it is. If you can’t figure out the lighting inside your house, go outside!! And please, PLEASE stop posting the bathroom selfies, I don’t want to see your bathtub or toilet. Or maybe I do, it would at least tell me if he cleans his bathroom….but I digress.

·         “Current” photo obviously translates in the male language to, “photos from the last 15 years, let’s make her guess what I look like now.” Sigh. Let’s keep it within the last 6 months guys, I don’t think that’s too much to ask.

·         Smile! It goes a long way. Some of you look like you might have bodies buried in your back yard. THIS is not a good look, unless you are going for the ax murderer look?

·         Don’t make your profile photo one of you and a girl in a loving embrace. Do you think any of us are going to look any further? That’s a NO.

·         Your summary, or about you section, WRITE ONE! This goes a long way for us ladies. If you don’t have one, we won’t stay on your profile long. AND PLEASE know the difference between to, too, and two!

·         If you email her, use your own words don’t send the automated email that the site provides. Lame.

·         Lastly, read her profile before you click interested so that you know if are a compatible. Otherwise, you're wasting your time and hers.

I know that’s a lot. But it is overwhelming what I’m dealing with here. It’s pretty simple, put some effort into it and you may just find what you’re looking for. Don't and you'll get what exactly what you put into it...the  bottom of the barrel.
