Those 12 hrs included 7hrs of sleep. Last relationship broke down over the weekend so I'm not actually interested in dating right now, but out of curiosity I wanted to see what was out there. The results make me want to go back and fix my relationship, but i think being single for a while will suit me fine.
Some tips for any guy who wants to find a date....
Do not wear a dirty tank top
Do not smoke
Do not look mad
Tidy the beard
Take a pic when you're not high
Im not familiar with all the dating apps that exist but the one i tried was Badoo, I felt like i stumbled upon an app designed for people looking for prison penpals. I've heard that females are just as bad. I always assumed you should treat dating like a job interview, be polite, be clean, put your best foot first.
With how large and easily accessible to the masses OLD is now, it's just more garbage you have to pick through. Not suggesting you go back to it right away, but I am saying that there are genuine people on there with obvious and pure intentions, some of these people just want to find a partner, many of these people only want to stroke their ego or cure their loneliness for one night. It's a matter of finding who is compatible with you and who wants the same thing, and discarding the rest. Even though it's used for very personal intentions, the discarding of people you are not interested in is very impersonal, and it needs to be that way.
I think this comes off as a little arrogant. You should change it to “tips for a guy who wants to get a date with YOU”. I have friends who do at least one of your do nots in OLD and they get dates. You shouldn’t be trying to copy your own preferences to every other woman’s in the world.
Its meant to be lighthearted because a lot of it would be deemed common sense and while it doesn't cover EVERY woman in the worlds preference i promise you it would cover a lot of them. If that was a list specifically for the guys who wanted to date me than i would have very low expectations. If that's arrogant then so be it.
I read somewhere that non-smiling men appear to be more attractive to women, whereas smiling women have a edge over non-smiling gals. Not sure if its true or not, but just saying
Theres non smiling and then theres just looking plain mad. I find the pics that look most attractive are the ones where the guys look genuinely happy (candid shots and relaxed smiles). My ex had total RBF and i found it sexy af. But his profile picture was a soft slight smile that really showed his warm side.
I also have RBF so i have to smile for pictures otherwise i look unapproachable. The last time i was single, one of the pics i had posted was a pic of me on vaca, i was pulling a face with my tongue hanging out the side but it was a shot that captured how happy i was in that moment and all my connections commented on how much they liked that picture.
I believe both men and women are more attracted online to people who smile in their pictures. As someone who once had a bad smile, I can personally say that having a nice smile (and showing it) to women goes a LONG way.
Although I love a great smile, I am meeting up with a man who was not smiling in his profile pics. His profile even stated that he knows he doesn't have a grin in his pics... there was something about his eyes and the humor in his bio that made me respond to his initial message.
We have been texting and talking for two weeks now and this man is hilarious! I am really glad that I looked past the not smiling stuff and am excited about our plans this weekend.
I agree about the bathroom selfies though... those are a NO for me as well.

So you really just jokingly depicted some % of men who date online as idiots who can't get out of their own way. That hardly needs to be pointed out.

Pretty much
But in all honesty, it was more than half of the profiles i scrolled through. I'm just wondering when people stopped making an effort. I know its women too, my single guy friend commented on the scary number of women in their 30s who post drunk pics, overtly sexual pics, high pics, and overtly sexual drunk high pics.
