I did something very silly this week....
I joined an online dating site for a laugh!! I didn't think it was a good move, until I started editing my own profile. I answered all the questions as honestly as I could, and awaited the results with bated breath...
The search found that I had Hundreds of potential women meeting my criteria, but there was a problem...
I didn't match hardly ANY of theirs!! lol lol lol Here are some of the following criteria/comments on my profile that were seen as negative by most women: (very helpfully pointed out by the search engine on the site, lol)
- "Not very confident" - bad move this one chaps, even though, if you were extra confident in real life, a girl would tell you to push off...
- "Not very good looking" - I was being honest, but if I'd said "stunning looking" (an option in the drop-down list of answers!! can you believe it??! lol ) then they'd have taken one look at my photo and laffed their pretensious misguided bottoms off... Besides, which girl would honestly date a guy who thought he was God's Gift???! lol
- Height 5-5 '2 - Now this one I can't do anything about, and can understand some reactions too, I mean if you were 5'8 or something, you wouldn't want to date a short guy, but... come on!! surely being short isn't that much of a turn off??! How did Danny Devito get a woman for goodness sake!!! I mean, height doesn't equal axe murderer you know...
It's very ironic that men are often portrayed as shallow creatures, when often women are just as bad!!! I'll stop ranting/pondering now, and go and lift some weights...
(as if!)
(* all the women's profiles that I looked at anyway)
I don't think the point is to say you look like and have the confidence of Tom Cruise, but to show that you believe you're worth pursuing. And I wouldn't worry about the looks thing - beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Good luck.
