I’m not going to say a word…
Not all of it made me want to shoot myself in the head.
What was your favorite terrible moment?
What did he say that might actually be helpful?

I never thought I was a beauty queen, but knowing that “a beautiful girl gets hundreds of messages . . . a DAY,” makes me feel even better about myself! (Back in the day . . . two messages . . . a month?)
Fortunately, it didn’t take hundreds–or drop-dead gorgeousness, apparently. I’ve found a wonderful husband–via online dating, even. And yeah, he mentioned things from my profile other than my looks. He even went to my BLOG.
Guys, if you want to date a woman who blogs, you should probably read her blog.
For some reason, the ‘related videos’ are always more interesting. What is that guy doing with the girl in the pink shorts?
Anyway, I think he has a good point. I have nothing against dating online, but somehow the messages (especially by guys) seem icky. A friend of mine and I both write articles for a christian dating site and thus we both have profiles. Ever since she’s single again, about 100 men a day watch her profile, sending her about 20 messages a day. In comparison, I had 5 visitors in the last 5 days and the last message from someone interested dates back from October (asking if I was still in a relationship, so that won’t get you any attention, even if I wasn’t). I cannot think of a message that will stand out from those crazy numbers. I think you can apply the rules this man states (which are pretty good rules) for your profile on such websites.
I’m also curious if anyone here has ever had a dating site or Facebook message from a stranger that hooked.
I would like to institute a rule against wearing a shirt that’s two sizes too small.
If there were a like button on here, I would totally like this comment. A friend of mine referred to this as the “shmedium” phenomenon. (As in, you need a medium shirt, but you’re wearing a small.)
Haven’t been able to watch the video yet, but it sounds like it would go well with this article I read awhile back.

Did he say his name was Jat?
Other than his poor, stilted delivery I don’t think he was really too far off on most of his points. As a veteran of online dating, I’ve discovered that the first contact/impression is vital if you have any hope at all of striking up a conversation with someone you like on there. Of course I never play the numbers game because I have a couple deal breakers that severely limit the size of the pool I’m contacting, but generally what he’s saying is true about messaging a girl.
definitely yes to the spelling.
