It may not surprise you to hear that all of the ladies have had multiple stints on match.com in our search to find Mr. Right. While Match is not personally my favorite online dating platform, here in Richmond it certainly is the most popular option for the professional set. So gentlemen, based on the many hours of our lives we've spent reviewing your profiles, here are our suggestions for how to get the attention of quality women:
1. NO SELFIES!!! Nothing says "I have no friends" like a profile pic you took of yourself in your bathroom mirror or from the driver's seat of your car. Seriously, unless you're about a 13 on a scale of 1 to 10, having a selfie profile pic is sure to get you passed over.
1.5 Please don't use photos of you and your car, you and some animal you once killed, or you in an obvious state of intoxication. No matter how proud you may have been of those moments at the time, the Ladies and I will screenshot you and mock you via group text.
2. If you don't have kids, don't have kids in your main profile picture. I'm gonna assume they're yours.
3. Muscles are wonderful things. I can still tell you have them if you're wearing a shirt in your photos.
4. Just say no to abbreviated user names. Having "The1_4U" next to your photo does not inspire my confidence that reading the rest of your profile is a good use of my time. I personally appreciate user names that reflect some aspect of your background or personality, i.e. "HikingJason" or "RamEngineer".
5. If you have a wife or girlfriend, GTFO Match. News flash, everyone can see how often you log in. Go be sketchy somewhere else. (We're talking to you, Dedic8edGentlemn)
My dos and don'ts for what to include inside your profile are worthy of a-whole-nother post. Guys, everything I've mentioned above is just what's visible on basic Match search results. Even when I'm not actively using Match to meet guys, I can log in with my user name and search through profiles for fun or to check out someone one of the Ladies just met. Please do all of us a favor and take down the shirtless bathroom selfies, bizarre user names, or profiles trolling for someone who doesn't realize you have a wife.
