Ok, first let me justify why I am on an online dating site: I'm moving 900 miles after graduation to a city where I literally know 5 people. (Two of which are married and one of which will not be allowed to know I live there) I thought maybe I should try and at least meet some people before I get there and my new nursing job takes my social life away.
That said...these are my rules for online dating sites. Or "How to get me to click on your profile."
1. Keep your shirt on. Literally and seriously. 99% of you should not be letting complete strangers see you without a shirt. Plus it's already weird enough to be contacting complete strangers to say "Gee, I think we might make swell friends" and I don't want anyone thinking I was swayed by their pastey scrawney shirtlessness.
2. Keep your disillusionment out of your profile. You may think it's harmless to say "I do NOT tolerate cheaters AT ALL" because, gee, who does? But it makes me immediately assume you are not over the fact that someone cheated on you in the past and have trust issues. Next!
3. Hott girls in your profile picture. Wha-? Do you want to drive girls away? This goes for those of you who make your main picture the one with you and your exgirlfriend cropped out....only not entirely because it is still painfully clear that her arms are around your neck. Pick another picture doofus.
4. We all assume you're not as great as your profile says you are, no need to erase all doubt by saying "I am not Prince Charming. I will not sweep you off your feet. Get over it." Um, ok, but I was never under it...
5. You and your uniform. Ok, we understand you are proud to carry a gun. Do you ever change into normal people clothes? (The only exception is military camos).
6. Advertising your gang affilitation. I may be a white chick but I know how to translate "Latin Kings"...esp. when you're throwing up gang signs in your picture.
