The Top Five Mistakes Men Make When Posting a Profile to an Online Dating Site

9/3/11 - Grad school/having a full-time job, combined with the most stressful dating experience of my life (see post from 09/02/11), combined with a major position in a volunteer organization, caused a year-long hiatus in contributing to this blog.

I logged on today to edit another post and found that I began this one over a year ago. After reading it a few times, it looks like it was supposed to be 'The Top Ten Mistakes Men Make When Posting a Profile on an Online Dating Site' or something like that. Five things are listed, but it seems as if I just forgot to come back to finish the list. But since I no longer use the services of online dating sites, I actually can't come up with 5 other mistakes. So I'll change the numbers and still publish the list anyway, but as a Top 5. So here it goes...

5. Self-portraits taken with a cell (or any other picture taking device) in the mirror.
- That's quite lame. Next time you're out having fun somewhere, ask a friend - or even a complete stranger - to take a picture of you!

4. Mentioning God
- I believe in our creator just as much as the next person. But I'm automatically weary about anyone who feels the need to talk about Him right away.

3. No picture
- Online dating is already a crap shoot. But in craps at least I get to see what the dice look like before I roll 'em.

2. Mentioning your sex drive
- You're a man; of course your sex drive is high!

1. Misspeling Werdz
- First, I think all online dating sites should come with a spell-check option and clear directions about how to use it. But if you are going to misspell words, don't do ironic ones like 'collge'.
