DATING MISTAKES MADE BY WOMAN

HERE ARE FIVE MISTAKES WOMEN MAKE ON THEIR ONLINE DATING PROFILE:

Ladies, if you're wondering why no one has responded to your online dating profile, even though you're a total catch, it might be because your profile kind of stinks.

With that in mind, here are five online dating profile mistakes to avoid.

#1.) You don't self-promote: A lot of women don't want to seem like they're bragging, so they leave out the fact that they speak four languages, or are a black belt in karate. But if you really want to get dates, you should highlight your strengths and cool experiences.

#2.) You come off as just another girl: You may be "smart, sweet and fun", but that's what every OTHER girl is saying too. Instead of using generic adjectives to describe your personality, tell a fun story that illustrates how you're adventurous or spontaneous. It'll make you seem interesting and set you apart from all the other duds.

#3.) You're too negative: Listing the types of people you DON'T want to date will make you come across as snobby and high-maintenance. And, in addition to the guys you DON'T want to date, it'll also chase off the guys you DO want to date.

#4.) You're too honest: The general rule is if you wouldn't say it on a first date, it shouldn't be on your dating profile. And you don't want to outright lie on your profile, but a little white lie here and there probably doesn't hurt.

#5.) You pick the wrong profile photo: Guys look at your picture first, and they don't like it when you only have one. So pick a few photos that show off your face AND your body. If you don't, guys will assume you're hiding your body for a reason.

Also, don't include pictures of you with your hot friends, or with ANY guy, even if he's a relative. Remember, this is a dating site, not Facebook. (Cosmopolitan)
