5 Online Dating Tips for Men
Men and women play the dating game differently simply because they are different. However, dating is not just a “game”; it is something that needs to be taken seriously. Simultaneously, you need not take online dating so seriously that you fall sick over it. Putting it in a slightly better way, if you are taking it so seriously that you are losing sleep over it, it is time to lighten up. And if you are taking it too lightly, it is time to get serious. After all, you do want to meet the most wonderful woman in the world, don’t you? In either case, the following tips will take you closer to the lady of your dreams.

Some Important Picture Tips
If you are not getting any closer to the girl in your dreams, you might consider having a long, close look at the pictures you have posted on your profile. Are there too many of them? If so, remove some of them. Since you are at an online dating site and not a social networking site, you really do not need to upload so many pictures even if your online dating site permits it. The ideal number, according to online dating experts, is somewhere between four and six.
And while you are at it, remove all shirtless pictures, pictures that show you half drunk or fully drunk, pictures that show you in weird clothes and a colored beard, and so on and so forth. Such pictures do not really amuse girls. You may feel that your perfect abs will impress her, but girls look longer at fully dressed and well-dressed men smiling pleasantly at the camera.
Above all, avoid uploading pictures of you with your friends on your online dating profile. Wouldn’t it be the greatest tragedy in the world if the girl of your dreams finds your friend attractive and sends you an urgent email requesting your friend’s phone number and address?
Create a Killer Profile
If you cannot get interested in girls who post stuff such as “I am an honest, fun-loving person, who enjoys a joke. I love watching movies and listening to music,” you cannot hope for a girl to get interested in men who post such stuff. So, create the killer profile!
Fill it with original, interesting information about yourself. Everybody is honest and fun loving and loves music and movies; so there is no point in posting that in your profile. What is it that sets you apart from the millions of guys in this world? For instance, not everybody quits his job to find out if he can make a million dollars designing websites and not everybody spends his spare time acting in comedy plays. Fill your profile with interesting things about you and the girl of your dreams will come knocking at your door.
Just remember to run a spell check before you post it on your online dating profile.
Keep Emails Short and Sweet
You don’t have to bare your soul and tell her everything about yourself in your very first email. In fact, this is the best way to never hear from her again. Instead, keep your first few emails short, interesting, and light. You may compliment her on something she wrote on her profile and you may provide some extra information based on the things you wrote on your profile. A good way to ensure that she replies is to ask a harmless question at the end of your email.
Rejection Is to Be Expected
You will be rejected a dozen times before you meet one prospective partner. This is to be expected; so avoid going into depression just because the first girl you sent your first email to did not respond. Here is the way to deal with situation: view more profiles, send more emails, and view some more profiles and send some more emails. The more the merrier!
No High Expectations, Please!
If your online date doesn’t look like her picture, be calm. Not everybody can look just like their pictures. If you are lucky, she might turn out to be prettier than her pictures. In this case, never blurt out, “Hey, you look great … not what I expected at all!”
