How to Successfully Use Dating Websites (Men)

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Take a decent photo of yourself.

   Avoid mirror-selfies, shots of you in a crowd of friends, and pictures with you holding up the middle finger (That's really immature).
   
   Get a well-lit, close up shot that is as recent as possible, and smile.
2. 2

   Step 2: Don't use chat speak.

   "U" and "R" are letters, not words.
   
   Many women find intelligence attractive. , Messages like "Hey" or "Hi how are you?" are not going to strike up interesting conversation.
   
   Ask open-ended questions and comment on something you found interesting in her profile.
   
   Try to skip the stereotypical small-talk questions too. , So, focus on her personality, and save the compliments for when you actually meet her in person. , Share your interests, describe your personality, and keep it positive.
   
   No rants about what you dislike, bad past experiences, or ex-girlfriends. , Not all women approach it politely, unfortunately, but there are always more fish in the sea. , Do not give her your number after a ten minute exchange.
   
   Also try to avoid asking to take her out right away.
   
   Let her get to know you and feel comfortable enough so that you are worth a face to face date.
