Online dating is no longer something that is lame and taboo anymore.
In fact if anything, you’re the one that’s not up to date with technology if you’re not on one of the many social networking or online dating sites around.
I’m going to show you some great online dating tips for men that you can apply to make sure you meet the women of your dreams.
Find a good website
I recommend the best online dating website to actually be Facebook. The reason for this is because it’s free and you know the users there are mostly REAL. However, if picking up on Facebook isn’t your thing their are plenty of sites you can visit such as plentyofish.com, match.com or adultfriendfinder.com. You just need to know what you’re looking for.
In general a good online dating site needs to have:
a large user database
active members
cheap or free services
All of the above sites I mentioned above satisfy these requirements so sign up to any of them to get started.
Filter OUT women you don’t like
The good thing about online dating is that as a man you finally get to decide who you do NOT want to meet. As opposed to being the one that’s being selected all the time, now it’s your chance to choose.
Keep in mind that the more selective and picky you are the smaller amount of girls you’ll be able to message. However, at the same time their response rate should be higher because you should have similar interests.
Have funny profile content
Before you start befriending girls, be sure to write a good profile of yourself. Find enough time to design your profile. Be sure to be honest, specific, yet creative at the same time. Don’t have generic and boring stuff like “I like to see movies” because shit, who DOESN’T like watch movies?
You have to be specific in your commentary by saying something interesting and funny at the same time whilst revealing your interests. Such as:
”I’m a 8 dan black belt Karate expert and I know kung fu because I watch the Matrix 13 times”.
Have an up to date photo
Be sure to post your recent and good quality photo to your profile. Remember that majority of women do not bother looking at the profiles of men without photos. In fact, most dating websites gives you the choice to exclude profiles without photographs while searching for matches. The majority of people (including you) choose only to see the profiles that DO have photos. If that is the case (and 99% of the time it is), if you failed to provide photo of yourself, you will not even be seen to be considered.
Have a positive and uplifting “girl friendly” nickname
Be sure to select an attractive nickname because it helps to give a killer first impression. Remember that nicknames are the first thing a women sees in your profile. Be sure to be creative when choosing your nickname. You need to choose something positive such as “OpenHorizon” or “Dreammaker.” One girl told me once that the main reason why she contacted me was because of my super cool nickname.
Be active
Be sure to log on frequently. Most users on online dating sites search for matches by filtering searches based on last log-on date and time. So the more you log on, the better your chances of being seen on top of the search results. By doing so, it will increase your chances of being contacted.
Be sure to be an active member as well, don’t just lurk in the background. Make sure to view and to browse womens’ profile regularly. There are some online dating sites which allow you to see the people who viewed your profiles, thus you will know who has been checking you out. This way, you can drop-in to send unexpected messages to women who are interested to know more about you (because they were checking your profile out).
Start chatting
If the online dating site you have chosen has a chat room, make sure to there and chat to a few people. You don’t have to go there with the mindset of picking up the girls you talk to, but it should help warm you up to how people flirt with each other online so you can get some tips.
These are some great online dating tips for men that you should apply immediately. A lot of men do not experience a lot of success when they first start online dating. I can guarantee you that they are missing out on one or many of the things I mentioned.
If you do everything I said, then I’m sure the chances of succeeding online would increase ten fold. So what are you waiting for? Log on to an online dating site today!
