Dating profile: Men: Nobody wants to tell you to this to your face, so listen up. Across all age groups, men often make the same mistakes when presenting themselves in their online dating profiles. Although women may find some helpful hints in this post, these dating profile tips are mainly for the date-seeking men out there:
1. Your photo location sucks.
Tumblr
There are several mistakes men make when it comes to their dating site profile picture. Did you take a picture of yourself in the bathroom mirror with the toilet seat up and the shower curtain open?
This tells women three things: your bathroom is messy, you will probably leave the seat up at her house too, and you have no friends. (If you had friends, one of them would have taken your picture.)
Most women assume every man leaves the toilet seat up at his place and that men’s bathrooms are messy, but a first impression is not the time to remind her of these details.
Maybe you took a selfie, not in the mirror but holding your phone below your chin. This is the most unflattering angle possible. It makes you look like you have a double chin (and again, no friends).
You must know at least one person who would be willing to snap a picture of you. If not, find something interesting to stand in front of, pretend you’re a tourist and ask a stranger to snap a photo.
