Advice for Getting Laid Online
Getting laid online need not be as difficult as some people make it out to be. Yes, some people are able to hook up in a matter of hours or a couple of days after joining a dating site, but others aren't so lucky. They struggle for a long time going from site to site without any success.
This is usually due to some very common mistakes that people make when creating their online dating profiles. Here are the mistakes to avoid to improve your online dating adventures.
It all starts with your profile picture. We are visual creatures, your profile pic will be the first thing that potential partners will look at and the first thing that they will use to "size you up." While appearance may not be everything, it is very important.
Having an effective profile picture does not require you to be a model. In the real world, less than one percent of the population are models. Do not fret about "imperfections" in your physique. Simply take a large number of pictures in different poses, in different settings, etc. You are certain to find one that captures you at your best. As long as you look confident and as attractive as you possibly can — your profile pic is certain to get you results.
It is important to know what are your best attributes. Is it your face, your smile, your physique? Highlight your best attributes in the picture. Also, make certain to appear alone in the picture. Avoid group shots, or worse, pictures with former partners. Regarding your actual pose, it is best to avoid looking directly into the camera. Profile pictures with you focusing away from the lens produce better results.
Once you have the best profile picture possible, it's time to focus on your profile details. A glance through online dating profiles will demonstrate that most are stale and boring, They are derivative and repetitive of each other. Phrases such as "I'm a nice guy" or "looking for fun" abound. You want to keep things brief while at the same time being memorable. A funny quip or a phrase that provides insight into your personality is an excellent way to go. Also, avoid mentioning former partners or any drama in your life. Keep your profile upbeat and focused on the future, not the past.
Finally, once you start engaging with someone online it is important to have an effective opening line. Just as with your profile, something relevant and funny works best. Remember, it is during the messaging phase when you will either seal the deal or lose it. You want to sound interesting — you want to create some degree of positive mystery.
By using these tips to avoid the most common pitfalls in dating profiles, your chances of getting laid will increase exponentially.
