Online Dating Rant #2

A while ago I did an online dating website rant. Well, I am still on the websites and I have a couple more comments for you girls who have online profiles. It may come across as harsh but I am really trying to help your odds :-)

1. I'm always amazed at just how many girls describe themselves as "pretty laid back" -- almost all of them. If you have the words "pretty laid back" in the self description section of your profile, do yourself a favour and describe yourself using different words.

2. This one is a little more serious: Please write back. I don't email every girl on the website. I select based on qualities I like in the profile (yes looks, but definitely other things too). When I do write you, it is not a generic form letter, it is a unique email that is tailored to things you have written in your profile. It is read and re-read before the send button is ever pressed. When the email is read by you and there is no response, it sucks. Like I'm not even worthy of a "Sorry I'm just not interested"? I admit I used to not write back to people I wasn't interested in. But after having that done to me enough times, I have vowed to always write back, even if I'm not interested. And it would be really appreciated if you did the same.

Cheers.

P.S. I just want to put in a plug for my new favourite dating website. www.okcupid.com. OK Cupid has better matching capabilities than any other dating site I've been on, free or paid, including eharmony. What's more, it is FREE and it blows Plenty of Fish out of the water (pun somewhat intended).
