Ladies, I always enjoy reading your feedback and comments \u2013 and after 30 years, I still learn from all of you! Considering about 35-40% of my clients are men in the 50\u201380-year-old age group, believe me, after a recent divorce or being widowed, they definitely need help from the opposite sex on what resonates with you.<\/p>\n
So, here are my thoughts \u2013 and at the end, I\u2019d love to hear from you if I may have missed any!<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t post one or two photos \u2013 post at least five. And they must be from the last two years. So, no photos from 10 years ago or your high school yearbook shot!<\/p>\n
Ok, wait a minute \u2013 maybe we should just say WRITE A BIO! Why do so many men skip that section? We want to hear your voice, your tone \u2013 it doesn\u2019t need to be 10 paragraphs but at least one would be nice.<\/p>\n
Your bio is your chance to introduce yourself beyond photos, so make it count. Keep it real, fun, and to the point \u2013 and skip generic lines like \u201cI love to travel\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m a foodie,\u201d and share something unique about yourself.<\/p>\n
Your first message can make or break your chances of getting a reply, so start strong. We can tell if it\u2019s a copy\/paste! And, always start by using our name.<\/p>\n
Skip the \u201cHey\u201d or \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d and take a moment to reference something specific from our profile to show you\u2019re genuinely interested.<\/p>\n
Confidence paired with a personal touch will show you\u2019re serious about getting to know us.<\/p>\n
Many online dating tips for women emphasize honesty, clear intentions, and great communication \u2013 and guess what? These principles work for men too.<\/p>\n
So, please don\u2019t lie about your age or height. Whether you are 71 and 5\u201d6\u2019 or 67 and 6\u201d2\u2019, we appreciate your honesty. And we are promising not to do the same!<\/p>\n
A good conversation is a two-way street, so don\u2019t dominate the chat or stay silent. Ask open-ended questions, share bits about yourself, and match our energy to keep things flowing.<\/p>\n
After two messages back and forth each, ask us to lunch or coffee with a specific date and place in mind \u2013 it is so appreciated! When we do the same with you, please answer us back with a \u201cgreat\u201d or \u201cyour seem great, but I don\u2019t think we are a match.\u201d Be upfront and don\u2019t leave us hanging!<\/p>\n
Share a personal story or experience to deepen the conversation.<\/p>\n
You wouldn\u2019t believe how many of these we get! Most pickup lines are a turnoff. Instead of relying on cliches, offer genuine compliments and focus on shared interests.<\/p>\n
If we don\u2019t respond quickly, know it may not be you. We may be on vacation or have a family issue going on.<\/p>\n
Respect our pace and don\u2019t rush the interaction.<\/p>\n
A well-thought-out first date will help set a positive tone for the rest of our relationship.<\/p>\n
Confidence is key, but it\u2019s important to strike a balance between self-assurance and humility.<\/p>\n
Be confident without coming off as arrogant. What can come off as arrogant to us is a list of \u201cmust-haves\u201d \u2013 we are not talking 2 or 3 \u2013 but over that is quite a bit!<\/p>\n
Not every match will turn into a relationship, and that\u2019s okay. Learn from each interaction and refine your approach over time.<\/p>\n
And remember: online dating is a fast-paced game, so don\u2019t overthink your messages. If you\u2019ve got a great line or question in mind, go for it \u2013 waiting too long might cause you to miss out on a great woman!<\/p>\n
Tell me ladies \u2013 what else should men know? Which tip do you think most men have a tendency to skip?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
