You want to give your name, a brief introduction about where you are, and then go into what you’re looking for. It’s hard to get a second chance when someone has already taken the time to read your profile, and it was filled with negative ravings.Īgain, simplicity is your friend. Be thoughtful of what you want to say, and don’t rush.
Don’t go into elaborate details, as these usually have a small character limit. Instead, talk about the things that you like, and what you hope to find. If you aren’t into open-relationships, then fine-but it’s not your place to condemn those for whom it works. How do you sound in your profile text? Do you sound like someone that’s worth talking to, or do you sound like a nit-picky bitch that needs to get off their soap box? When describing what you are looking for, do not use this opportunity to rant about all the things you hate, or how you think people should/shouldn’t be doing. We all have messy rooms, at one point or another, but there’s no reason to broadcast it to potential partners. Same goes for your bedroom-if it’s dirty, either clean or go to a different room. If you are using a mirror, be sure to clean it first. Make sure you’re smiling, but not so much that you look like you’ve had a hit of laughing gas. If your objective is to attract a guy for sex, or to date, then a simple head and shoulders shot is ideal. Second, save the funny faces for Facebook. Try to be as honest and upfront as you can, this will prevent any possible misunderstandings. If you color your hair or shave your head, same rule applies. If someone agrees to meet you, they expect to see the same person, not a drastically altered version. Think about it-would your friends, siblings, or coworkers appreciate knowing that you have their face on your dating profile? And if your photo was taken more than a few months ago, then it’s time to update.
First off, the photo you select should be clear, recent, and free of other people. Nowadays, people are obsessed with taking selfies, yet this doesn’t mean that they pick the best one to market themselves. This one should be a no-brainer, but countless guys continue to fail, miserably, when it comes to the undeniably important profile photo. Pay close attention to the following etiquette tips and lessons, as you may need to revamp your profile on all the dating apps you use, afterward. It truly doesn’t matter what you’re on the for-whether it be for sex, friends, or dating-you can’t do whatever you want, and expect guys to flock to you.
Whether you use Grindr, Jack’d, Growlr, Scruff, Hornet, or GuySpy, or any other geo-location based app for meeting people, you need to understand the proper way to present yourself, and how to behave in order to see positive results. This article was published on March 22nd, 2015
