What the Opposite Sex Does Not Want to See in Your Online Dating Profile

When you're creating your profile for an online dating site, you may be one of the many who throws in a few false facts to try to spruce up the appeal of your profile to the men or women you're targeting.

There are some things you should also leave out if you want to make a good first impression. It doesn't mean you have to lie about who you are or what you believe, but sometimes it's best to present yourself with your best foot forward in the beginning.

First, try not to sound like a bitter, soured person who is already burnt out on the opposite sex. If you had a bad experience with your boyfriend, don't sound like a man-basher in your profile. No men will want to take on someone who has that much baggage following them around.

Negativity in general is a turn off for many people. If you hate the traffic, hate the weather, hate your job, and hate your life - what is there to like about you? The people you encounter on online dating sites don't want a fixer-upper - they want someone compatible with their own personality.

Even if you've been plagued by bad first dates with other dating site members, don't focus on what went wrong, but find the silver lining and talk about the details you did appreciate - even if it was just a learning experience.

Try to stand out from the crowd. Cookie cutter profiles are a turn off and if you don't give the reader anything unique, how are they supposed to be impressed enough to choose you from the masses?

How many times have you read, "I love candlelight dinners and long walks on the beach?" Don't be boring! Instead of candlelight dinners, be specific and say, "I love Mortini's Italian Restaurant because the host always gives me the best seat in the house and their Alfredo Sauce is to die for!" This gives them insight into your personality, but it also lets them envision their first date with you.

To really spruce up a profile and take out everything a prospective partner doesn't want, try to be specific about who you're seeking in a mate. Make sure they know you're flexible, if you are, but don't just say, "I like a sense of humor" if what you really mean is, "I'm sarcastic and love someone who can give as good as they get with me."

This helps remove the possibility that those you won't be compatible will contact you and wind up being a waste of your time. Be sure to find people whose profiles you respect and emulate their success by substituting your own facts and outlook on life and soon, you'll be seizing the opportunity to have a first encounter with someone new.

What is a good Christmas present for someone you have been dating a short time?

How can a married guy obtain multiple sex partners
By: samson | 19-11-2007
A married guy may love his wife, be perfectly content in their marriage (and for all signs of it so is she), but still not be content with the prospect of having only one sex partner "till death does you in".So my question is how can one be married and still get the best of both worlds? This can be viewed as sort of a "what if" question or a brainstorm perhaps.I am looking for a can-do, practical approach. (I will just ignore any judgemental, men-are-pigs type of answers).Bear in mind that I do not restrict the answers to going behind the woman's back - aka being "unfaithful". This has a obvious drawback of living a double-life, and eventaully getting "caught". Perhaps the way to go is via a gradual process where she gradually learns to accept a man's small "vice" away from sight, in return for an otherwise fulfilling relationship?Just a thought, not a must to go in that direction.

Addition to previous question on how 2 get hindu girl for marriage to me
By: murshid | 18-11-2007
Yes, today I approached that girl to marry me. As you may remember, I am 48 y/o well settled man in life, devout Muslim and have decided to marry one young (23 y/o) hindu girl.    In fact I called her parent house, where she resides but she -REFUSED- to talk to me! Now I know this must be foolishness of youth but I don't mind, maybe she is shy. Any gal would like to marry with well cultured and moral guy like me. Even asking conversion is not so much big deal as Islam is Truth itself.    Tell me plz shall I directly approach her parents. And how can I force her to come to some marriagable understanding to be my beautiful young wife? I need her to marry me by 2 months time as I have business trip coming up and would like to make it convenient honeymoon. AS yet she won't even look on my eye, maybe she is going to feel my love if she does so!    I own the parcel of land wherein her parents reside. Shall I use this to drive home my point of marriage? Although I don't like to make use of land but this marriage is too important to let pass by at this time and my feelings for her are too much strong.    Thank you and may I get married soon Inshallah!

Is he "hitting" on her?
By: AllisonG | 14-11-2007
here's my friend's situation..she is 25 years old and married almost 2 years. she's currently studying at the university and in her class is a guy about 30 years old who's married with 3 kids. she's convinced they dont talk often, just the usual hi, bye each day. but she says he gives her "eyes" in class. she is constantly catching him staring at her. is he trying to make a pass at her? she thinks he's extremely cute and she said she's actually thought about what it might be like to go out with him but she would never actually go through with it b/c she loves her husband. is this normal?
