How To Ruin Your Online Dating Success
Copyright © 2005, Elena Solomon

These days you seldom meet a single person who never tried online
dating - unless they aren't Internet users.
Since you are reading this, I assume you ARE online - so this
information can be crucial for your online dating success.
Most people placing personal ads on Internet dating sites seem to
do everything to RUIN any of their chances for success. Are you
one of them?
Here is how to ruin your online dating campaign:
1. CHOOSE A SLEAZY USER NAME
Dating sites usually display your user name in your personal
profile. So, if you choose something like "hardcoreXXX" or
"badgirl_69", you are sure to mess up your chances dramatically.
2. WRITE A TIMID MESSAGE
Every day I see people writing in their messages things like,
"I hate this part but here it goes", "I never know what to write
here" or simply "Ask me". Your personal message is the only thing
in your profile that is UN-structured - the rest are usually just
tick boxes. Make sure you don't say anything interesting here, so
no one will feel compelled to learn more about you.
3. DON'T HAVE ANY PARTNER REQUREMENTS
Your requirements for a partner say VOLUMES about YOU. If you do
not have any requirements for a partner, you will sound
absolutely desperate. No one is attracted to desperate people.
4. DON'T UPLOAD A PHOTO
Most users of dating sites search for profiles with photos. If
you do not upload your photo, no one will find your ad. It will
also severely damage the chances of your "Hi's", "Virtual Kisses"
or "Smiles" being answered.
5. DON'T PAY FOR PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP
Usually online dating sites will allow you to place your personal
ad for free, but to write to other singles, you have to buy a
subscription. Although the price of subscription is cheaper than
the price of a movie ticket and popcorn, you should not be
tempted. By sticking with the free membership, you ensure you
cannot contact anyone. Also some sites place ads of premium
members on top of the search results. If you do not pay, your ad
will appear on the page 247 of the search results - which will
make it nearly impossible to find.
6. DON'T CONTACT OTHER MEMBERS
Most online dating services will allow you to contact other
members for free by sending a "Hi", "Virtual Kiss", "Icebreaker"
or "Smile" - an expression of interest, to which the other member
can respond. Don't send any of those to anyone, or they may just
answer positively. Think only about how bad would you feel if
they rejected your advances.
7. DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING IN YOUR AD
Don't attempt to change anything in your ad. If you change
something, it may just start working. Keep with what doesn't
produce any results.
8. DON'T LOGIN TO THE WEBSITE - EVER
Once you placed your personal ad, immediately forget about it -
and forget your user name and password, too. Don't login to the
website again. If you do, your ad may jump to the top of the
search results and someone may write to you. Don't take this
risk. Just place the ad and forget about it.
If you follow this simple guidance, I can guarantee that you will
flawlessly ruin any chances for success with online dating sites
and your love life will stay just the way it is!

Article Marketing Tips:

- Stand out from the crowds. Educate your prospects and they will turn to you for more knowledge. When they turn to you for more, they will visit your website. It is up to your website copy to sell your products, NOT your article. Provide great information and at your website, address how the prospect will benefit from what you are offering. Using these things in conjuction will help your cash register to ring.
