"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Is there any guide or general direction on how to fill an online profile?

Simple as that, I believe online dating its not the best bet to do but it wouldnt harm to have a profile which could help.

I want to write a profile that doesnt require too much activity, something to write and let it stay there with basic care from me.

More like an advertisement you live on a wall and let people call you.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Clear pictures of your face. Short, simple, c&f that ambiguously talks about you as a person, for your about me section.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Tons. Type this into the Google search bar: "How to build a great dating site profile" and variations of it. There's so much information that you could have found a dozen articles in the time it took you to make your post.

This.

Good pictures are a must. If you don't have good pictures, get them. If you can't, you might as well not bother with online dating at all. A brief, not too serious or detailed description of yourself. Avoid banality ("I enjoy spending time with friends and family...") and saying things like "I'm not good at talking about myself".

Also, keep in mind that tinder is rapidly replacing old school dating sites.

I need to disagree here. ****y and funny doesn't generally work on these profiles, unless you are EXTREMELY good looking and have an EXTREMELY well written profile. In other words, you can't fake ****y by being brief and vague and then throwing one or two brags in there.

In fact data shows that a bit of self-deprecation goes a long, long way on online dating profile. Quite the opposite of your advice.

Do not talk ambiguously about yourself. If you are not a specific type, then you are definitely not her type. You can't attract all women with your profile, so don't worry about being overly specific when describing yourself. You can, however, be too vague to give a woman a sense that she'd actually like to spend any time with you. In that case, you'll miss out on women with whom you might actually have some success.
