10 Online Dating Mistakes Men Make
Have you tried online dating yet? If so, you might be one of the 90% of men who quit online dating within the first few months because they weren't getting any results.
How frustrating this is when you think about all the possibilities that online dating presents.
Well, I'm about to share with you 10 fatal mistakes which men make while online dating, and how you can avoid them and turn your results around.
Mistake #10: Picking Crappy Sites
This one mistake can cost you hours and hours of your time. The trick is full of lousy dating sites, some of which create fake female profiles in order to beef up their member base.
So men sign up for accounts on these low-budget sites, send out a bunch of emails...and of course, they get very few (or none) back. Better to make the investment in a membership at one of the more reputable sites.
Mistake #9: Not Taking Enough Action
Most men don't realize how rare it is to get responses from emails sent to women on online dating site. On average, you're only going to get one out of every 10 e-mails back...and that's if you're good. Some men have to create dozens of e-mails just to get one response.
So if you want to succeed at online dating, you have to take a lot of action.
Mistake #8: Long Emails
Attractive women on dating sites get dozens of emails a day and they don't have time to read all of them. So if you're writing emails that are really long, your chances of getting a response are very low.
Mistake #7: Boring Headlines
Considering how many emails women get on online dating sites, you can bet that the emails with Boring headlines aren't going to get read. Most men make the mistake of using headlines like: "hi" or "what's up?" or "Like your profile." Boooring!
Mistake #6: Bad Profiles
Your profile should talk about what you're looking for and some of your interests. Many men make the mistake of complaining about their past negative experiences or talking about what they DON'T want.
Listen, everyone has had enough bad experiences of their own...if you vent yours in your profile, women are going to move on to someone who has less baggage.
Mistake #5: Poor Pictures
The Internet is full of scammers who create dating profiles in order to meet women and ask them for money. These scammers normally only have one picture in their profile...so it's a common belief among experienced online daters that one picture profiles are not the real person.
Post several pictures of yourself and avoid pictures where you have your shirt off or where you have a drink in your hand...and have a few pictures of you and your friends to show that you have a life.
(and please guys...no fake pictures or lying about your age, weight or height).
Mistake #4: Being Nasty
If a woman doesn't email you back right away, don't send her a nasty email. Instead, send one polite follow-up and then move on. Remember, women get a lot of emails online and many of them will respond to persistence...but if you're nasty you blow your chances.
Just be sure to send only one follow up..no cyber stalking.
Mistake #3: Not Read Profiles
Women hate getting generic e-mails which don't mention anything about their profile. Yes, it will take you some time because you have to send out a lot of emails..but read their profiles and make a comment about something they said...
...otherwise you're wasting your time writing.
Mistake #2: Being too Interested Too Soon
Most men find a profile that they like and decide that they're interested in the woman already. Really!? You don't know anything about her... she could be lying on her profile or posting false pictures.
Instead, send the email with the intention of getting to know more about her.
Mistake #1: Dating Online
Online dating sites are a great place to meet women...but they're a terrible place to build a relationship. Once you meet someone you're interested in, don't let any more than three emails go by before you ask for a phone number.
