Let’s talk about your strategy, men. Really, you need to run your pics and your screen names by a woman – any woman – doesn’t matter, just a woman. For example, you may be a nice looking guy with a great job and a masters degree – very marketable. But – when you couple that with a pic of you mauling the Hooters’ girls (who are easily half your age), well, can you say “swipe!”?? Or – another example, don’t put your a pic of you and your kids on a dating site. Maybe I’m the only one who feels like this, I don’t know. Maybe there are women who look at that and think, “Awww, look how cute – he likes his kids.” See, but when I look at it, I think, “Dude…you’re using your kids to sell yourself online – for a date?? It just seems wrong to me. Am I right? Oh – just a couple more suggestions – don’t use thumbs up, the rock-on sign, the peace sign and for god’s sake – the middle finger in your pics. Seriously, guys…..
So, we’ve covered pics, gentleman. Lets talk screen names, shall we? Do not use any of the following if you list your intention as “looking for a long term relationship” – I mean, if that is truly your intention and your goal, avoid the following screen names:
- Nine_inches_4_u (I don’t even know what to say about this one…..figure it out)
- JestLookingAround (did you accidently misspell “just”? or are you ‘jokingly looking around’, or what…I don’t get it….)
- Copenhagen (can’t wait to kiss that! yum! I appreciate the warning, though)
- PipelineTrash (I just have to advise against using the word “trash” combined with any other word – unless you know a way to make dating trash appealing, maybe I’ve just not thought of that magic combo name yet)
- Macho_Man (i.e.: I’m wearing a wife-beater…and I beat my wife…)
- DarnSexy (umm….nope – if your pic doesn’t back it up, ya can’t use it)
- imurwomentype (no clue what you’re trying to say here….is English your 3rd language?)
- McLovin (pretty sure you stole that from a movie…)
- Warlock (yikes!)
- AlwaysLooking (hmmm….that’s who I want to be involved with….someone who is ‘always looking’. Ok, yeah, I went out with him. lol. Come on, he was so cute! – at least I didn’t go out with the Warlock!)
These are just 10 random, horrid screen names – not the 10 worst – oh, there are worse ones out there….trust me. oh – excuse me….DatingStinx just scrolled across my screen – gotta go!
