Here\\’s what slays me, in this day and age a lot of people utilize online dating websites. \u00a0It\\’s a lot more convient then to bother going to all the trouble of trying to meet someone in person. \u00a0Most people won\\’t own up to this though. \u00a0Every single guy I know who uses a popular (and free) dating site, the conversation always starts with: A buddy of mine set up a profile for me and I met this woman… \u00a0Online dating, the hidden shame of us all. \u00a0It is however, not without it\\’s pitfalls…<\/p>\n

I get a lot of messages depending on what category I place myself in. \u00a0I\\’ve tested this theory out and the most attention grabbing (and also garnered the creepiest replies) was of course \\’intimate encounters\\’ a close second although not nearly as popular was dating. \u00a0Haven\\’t ever bothered with a long term commitment,\u00a0figure\u00a0my in-box would look like a ghost town and that\\’s not really what I\\’m after from the get go anyway… \u00a0The whole hang out\/e-mail talk thing hasn\\’t ever been an option I\\’ve chosen, nor activity partner. \u00a0I figure intimate encounters pretty much covers this, after all sex is an activity right?<\/p>\n

Of course it is!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Anyway… \u00a0Online there\\’s no consequences, or at the very least not very many. \u00a0I personally keep my profile pretty brief and to the point. \u00a0Most people these days have short attention spans. \u00a0That being said:<\/p>\n

Don\\’t write a fucking novel!<\/strong> \u00a0Jesus Christ. \u00a0It\\’s one thing to write a well thought out profile that show cases your highlights. \u00a0More often then not though, they usually start with something like OMG I am SO bad at talking about myself lulz and then they\u00a0proceed\u00a0to write their life stories, the cliff notes edition.<\/p>\n

Use proper grammar and spelling! \u00a0<\/strong>Jesus Christ! \u00a0Is it really that difficult to spell out an entire word? \u00a0You know instead of U how about adding those three extra letters. \u00a0OR PEOPLE WHO TYPE LIKE THIS -or- my personal favorite LiKe THsI. \u00a0I had a discussion about this with someone last night. \u00a0Not bothering to use proper spelling and or grammar makes you look like a fucking idiot who didn\\’t make it past grade 2.<\/p>\n

Private messages: <\/strong>It\\’s one thing to drop someone a quick word or five to open up the line\\’s of communication. \u00a0However it is in poor taste to write a message to someone that is another novel that highlights your income, the kind of car that you drive and blah fucking blah. \u00a0You know what that says to a woman like me? \u00a0I\\’m insecure and I\\’ll buy you everything that you want because I\\’m really trying to buy your love because dammit I need someone to fuck<\/del> love me. Or that you\\’re a materialistic douche bag. \u00a0Either way? Do. Not. Want. \u00a0Real woman who will like you for you and you alone, don\\’t need to know your entire pedigree. \u00a0We\\’re not buying a dog.<\/p>\n

Comments on my pictures and or \u00a0my tattoos: \u00a0<\/strong>Yes I am pretty to most people, thank you. \u00a0However saying: \\’Yeah but you\\’re really hot, you must not be having any problems getting laid\\” Well not usually no I don\\’t. \u00a0However I don\\’t need you to point that out. \u00a0Proves to me that you\\’re terribly, terribly insecure.<\/p>\n

NOT ATTRACTIVE! \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saying you want to lick all<\/em><\/span> of my tattoos is not<\/strong><\/em><\/span> a turn on. \u00a0I have 27 and they\\’re essentially all over the place. \u00a0Yes I do have my naughty bits tattooed (and pierced) also my butt cheek, along with one on my big toe and I\\’m sporting one in my left armpit among other places. \u00a0Do you really want to lick my armpit? \u00a0Furthermore do *I* want you to lick my armpit? \u00a0No. \u00a0No I do not. \u00a0What are you a dog? \u00a0Do I need a bath? \u00a0Do you feel that my skin is dry and I should drink more water and or up the ante on my\u00a0moisturizer? \u00a0So just don\\’t. \u00a0It\\’s NOT attractive and makes you look like a douchebag.<\/p>\n

YOUR pictures: <\/strong>The whole point about dating period is all about looking to score. \u00a0Regardless of what you want, we\\’re all searching for something or someone. \u00a0Perhaps you\\’ll get lucky and actually find it. \u00a0So naturally no one isn\\’t going to post pictures of themselves looking anything less then their best usually. \u00a0Most guys do OK in this department. \u00a0Here\\’s what\\’s not OK (in my eyes at least)<\/p>\n
