Online Dating

What NOT to do when you are on an online dating site:

Profile Photos:

1. Your main picture is you wearing sunglasses
   That is just plain deceitful. People look about 60% hotter when wearing sunglasses
2. Snap a topless photo of yourself in your bathroom with a towel around your waist
   How about you leave something to our imagination? Keep that pic for later
3. Use a blurry photo with the resolution of a sandpit surface
   Thanks, now I know that you have low standards & a phone with a crap camera
4. Post a far away photo of 3 guys who all look the same
   No common sense either
5. Post a picture of you and the ex looking very much in love
   Already setting us up to feel inferior to the gorgeous blonde next to you
6. A photo taken from a low angle so that I can see right up your nose
   Not a flattering angle for anybody!
7. An unsmiling photo
   Do you want people to think you are a miserable shit?
8. Don't post a photo at all
   Just because you rated your looks as Very Attractive, doesn't mean I will necessarily agree with you. Let me see for myself

Conversations:

1. Try new phrases instead of "Down to earth", "Easy going" because every single one of you say you are just that.
2. Don't answer with 1 word answers
3. Read my profile before wasting your time and mine. If I say not older than 38, You Mr 51 separated man without a photo, are not going to be the exception.
4. Engage in conversation. Ask me about myself -  like I am doing with you.
5. If you live in another country - don't bother. That is why it says: South Africa, Non negotiable

Idiot Preliminary Test out of the way. If you can manage to not piss me off with any of the above, we are off to a great start!
I look forward to the adventure.
