Have you ever been cruising your online dating profile and found someone you thought was “hot” and decided to read some of their information, only to be turned off immediately by something? That’s pretty common actually. You see a hot guy/girl and think “I’d do em, but lets see if they are crazy first” and you scan through and find out they collect little model clowns under their “hobbies” section. “What kind of weirdo collects little clowns?” you think to yourself. The quickly move on to the next poor soul. Or how about those people that put all this negative stuff in their “about me” section? “I really hate my job and I don’t do well in relationships…you should give me a try, I’m fun” CLEARLY they don’t sound “fun” and you move on. Well a website named Guyism found 4 common mistakes you can make on your dating profile. So if you want to get dates then you may want to NEVER do these things after the jump!
#1.) Anything Stressful. Remember, the people who read your profile haven’t even met you yet. So there’s no need to open up about your crazy family, or how hard life is in general. As far as your profile goes, you should keep things light, and only list the GOOD things about yourself.
#2.) How Frustrated You Are with Dating. Don’t talk about how hard dating is, or how it’s impossible to find the right person. It’ll just turn people off and make it seem like YOU’RE the problem . . . not the people you’ve been dating.
#3.) An Embarrassing Hobby You Have. It’s fine to talk about it on your first date . . . once they’ve at least met you and know you’re PROBABLY not a psycho. But if you mention something like Renaissance fairs in your profile, you might not GET a first date. (Either that, or you’ll find your soulmate.)
#4.) That You’re a Very Sexual Person. Don’t even allude to sex in your profile. If you’re a woman, you’ll get a ton of responses but not from anyone you’d want to have a relationship with. If you’re a guy, you won’t get any responses or at least not from anyone you’d want to sleep with.
