    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!
