For some reason number 3 made me chuckle. Not that mental health issues are funny, but the fact that it’s on the list is a bit odd to me.

Very informative list you got there! Definitely a no no on No. 3! It’s going to be weird reading somebody’s blog regarding there past mental health problems…

interesting list!

no.1 is the most truest..

somehow mentioning past relationships makes people have pre-concieved notions.. so that’s the biggest no no..

Great tips and advice. There is a lot of information out on what to avoid for security and I think that is really helpful, especially to nubies that are just checking out the online dating scene.

You may also be interested to check out a new book that is out about online dating called “Fishing for Love on the Net” by Myles Reed, Online Dating Expert who breaks down the ins and outs of the online dating scene.

God, what a great list. No 1 is sooooooooooo true. No need to spill your guts with a new relationship, profile post, etc. Let the past remain the PAST.

Forget about profile and start matching your interests visually.

As there is a famous saying that “A picture tells a thousand words”, try to capitalize on that by matching interests visually through images.

I’m glad all of you enjoyed the article. I think it’s important to be humble, yet confident when writing your profile. Also, don’t try to make other ppl feel bad about themselves.. like “so and so types of people.. I hate you”.

OK, so I am an older widower just starting to get into the internet dating thing. Not looking for a young thing but an intelligent lady who is fun to be around. Have had responses to my profile from youngsters 25 years younger than me. Call me old fashioned but that seems kinky to me and really want a soulmate. Have found that many of the ones who contact me really fudge their descriptions–older than they say, very overweight when say toned and exercise, and on and on. However, having some fun and sure will meet a nice lady if treat it as something that will take awhile to find a quality person who has good chemistry with me–heck, maybe I am not perfect either. Best to all.

yeah, you have some good tips here, especially i like nr 1. I think this mistake is huge if you talk about your ex. It scares.

I agree to #1. Lots of newbies mention their last relationship.

Don, as far as know, older mature guys are heavily attracted by younger ladies.

It is funny because you read some many profiles like this but you don’t think about it much. This is well written. I think Mike makes a good point. A picture with what you interests are is helpful. Like a picture of skiing for example. I think for your next article Vicky can be about getting more quality responses. Maybe you have written that already. I think writing a nice personal email will increase a person’s responses tremendously.

BTW nice pic!

i’m reading you’re having too much concern about what you shouldnt write if you dont want to look bad
that’s ego
adding ego to ego wont solve ego.

I’m curious about #4. I do have very high standards…maybe too high? Can you give an example of how you would say these?

I’ve found also it is helpful to have a lot of photos…of you with other beautiful people, doing exciting things, etc…
