10 things women should know about Match.com

locked

from an average Guy on Match.com to most Women

1) If you sorta look like a guy..we are not going to date you.

2) If we can't figure out which girl you are in your pictures that have group photos, we know you are not the 'hot" ones..

3) If all of your photos are from the neck up.. we are not going to ask what the rest looks like..

4) If you post a list of complaints about who you are "not looking for".. we are not going to date you.. hello! you are already nagging us!

5) We don't like profiles that describe your "ideal man"... "about my date.. you cook, clean, are in perfect shape, give to the poor, and are wealthy"... its like you are placing an order for take-out!

6) Give up on the "perfectly comfortable in a black dress or jeans"... overdone... nuf said

7) Don't tell us how great a relationship you have with your ex... You may want to hide the fact that we may be a "rebound" thing..

8) Don't brag so much about how many "winks" you are overwhemled with and won't respond to.. If the phone doesn't wink, you know its us.. moving on Ms. Conceited!

9) All posters named "Red Sox girls" (or insert your local team here) we're not buying it... putting a red sox hat on in your photo is the oldest trick in the Matchbook.

10) If all your photos have you wearing sunglasses.. call me when you get out of rehab!

As someone who did match.com for 5 years, all of this should be directed at the guys too.

I would like to add that the line: "I can either go out on the town or just stay at home and cuddle on the couch" needs to be put to a stop NOW.

the thing about match.com- it serves its purpose. if you want to date for the sake of dating, you really want to meet people, it is very effective. and yes you can meet cool people (I was with the last person I met on there for almost a year). But the problem is you get soooo many responses, you start getting like "eh, this person doesn't seem great, but he's ok, I'll go out with him for the hell of it" and then you're just dating for the hell of it, which is what some people want to do, but I'm personally kind of finished with it. I don't really want to bother dating unless it's someone I happen to know and we like each other. I don't care about dating enough to go "shopping" anymore.

girls who pose in group pictures with their friends all while holding up a cup of beer, booze, or wine in an effort to prove to the world that you drink ... go away, i'm tired of you.

seriously I have been on SOOO many match.com dates and some of them were hilarious but NEVER the least bit scary. I got *one* response that was pretty sketchy so I just ignored it. I've never even met anyone who lied in their profile.

12) A name like "Little Kid Lover" doesn't signify the guy is a pedophile. It just means he doesn't mind if you have kids from a previous relationship.

That and saying that people describe you as "laid back." We get it. You're all laid back.

I'd argue that if you're using match.com, you should be happy with anyone who cares to contact you and not worry about whether their wearing sunglasses or a Red Sox hat.

I think all of the profiles should say: 'I reciprocate'

obviously you get dates on match.com, it's a repository of single people. you're obvisously not going to get as many dates if you just leave it to chance that you're going to meet people on the street.

Get with it! Craigslist is the place to be. Especially if you want to get laid & not drop $500 before you get to the all important "third date."
