When it comes to online dating the competition is fierce and intense. Some people will do whatever it takes to get those dates including lying on their profile and including photos that are outdated or fake. It’s important that you be honest with yourself both in your profile and with the pictures that you upload for others to see.
Attracting dates using false pretences can only lead to trouble in the future. There are some important things that you need to focus on when you’re building your online profile. You want your profile to be as honest as possible and say as much about you as it can. The following are specific aspects that you can focus on to get the ideal profile for your online dating adventures.
Try to avoid being negative. Negative talk about your job, your life, or your past dates is a big turnoff to future dates. You want to be positive and upbeat about whom you are without lying or embellishing. In the world of online taking being positive is like a magnet. Everyone wants to find that special someone who is positive and exciting. Negativity will get you few dates, and the ones that you do get will be just as negative as you are. Let potential dates know that you want to meet “winners”. This will encourage only upbeat and successful people to respond to your profile.
Try to be as unique as you can in the way you write your profile. Don't just let people know that you like music and walks along the beach. Be specific about the music that you enjoy listening and the types of beaches that you've walked along. Use descriptive words that are different such as “a sizzling hot day on the beach” rather than “a hot day at the beach”. You want to make your profile as un-ordinary as you can without sounding like a complete flake.
When you write your profile you don't just want to get as many responses as you can. You want to get the right responses from the type of people who you are attracted to. Filter the responses that you get by being specific about what you’re looking for. Make sure that you list the age requirements of potential dates so that you don’t end up with responses from people of all ages. Remember that this is your profile and you’re the one who is in charge of who you date. Update your profile at least once every two weeks if you’re not getting the responses that you want.

Ex-husband's Girlfriend Destroying me and my son's life
By: Tess | 22-08-2008
This is all well and good, but my ex's new girlfriend is my grad student -- well she is not my student anymore. My 15 year old is beside himself and this woman who is still a student in my department has consistently found ways to make my work enviroment miserable and to pressure my ex to hassle his son about accepting her -- my son refuses. We have joint custody and he goes to his dad one week and me the next. My son does not want to be with his dad because of the gf. The state I live in does not allow co-habitation with a non-parent while an underage child is in the house and my son has made it clear that he will leave if he brings her around. That said, my ex waits until my son is feeling ok, and I seem to be doing well and starts pressuring my son and trying to make him feel guilty...it is horrible and I often have a confrontation with my ex that sends me into downward spiral -- I get depressed and my daily life falls apart. I just don't know what to do anymore.
