i think this is great don’t get me wrong and i even agree that picture of the person and only the person are nice, but the part about cropping your kids out i think its bull**** i think that if a guy(or girl) wants to date a girl (or guy) and the girl (or guy) has a kid the they should know it from the start and what better way then in the pic i am a single mom of a wonderful 4 year old boy and if a guy wants to date me hes got to be cool with my kid to or its a complete waste of my time so id rather put a pic of me and my kid that way they see it and dont like it they can move the hell on and not even bother me. and i think its great if a guy has a pic of them and their kid up if they have one it shows they are good fathers so i think that dont is f***ked up personally.

Gentlemen, so many don’ts. We need more do’s.What do you want ? Where and how would you like to see us ?
A bad photo is better then none, like every 4th or 5th one seem to be.

“Do’s” and “Don’ts”? Really? You write for a living?
Right, it is for some low level fluff article. I guess that is right.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is when someone lies about their age. Nothing is more than a big turn off when a women says she’s in her 30’s in her profile when it’s obvious she’s in her 40’s by looking at her picture. Another major turn off is. I also hate it when women post pictures of their dogs or cats in a profile. I’m online to find a date with you, not your pet!

Women from 4′-10″ to 5′-2″; stop stating “no one under 5′-10″. You come up to their belt buckle. Women and their “bigger is better” thingy is way out of hand. Also..when meeting a guy for the first time, DON’T tell him your disappointed in his height..when you KNEW his height. Also..don’t feel offended then..if he tells you your butts too big..or boobs are too small. It’s all inches..even if women have a hard time with that one.

Women; if your trying to draw attention to your intelligence and academic accomplishments, stop displaying your accredited MBA’s (also known as..Mega Bra-less assets). That’s unless..you have a theater or art major..find yourself in the unemployment line, and are hoping someone from Playboy sees your desirables.

Both genders; learn to spell..and how to type in complete sentences? If it doesn’t matter in your profile..what else doesn’t matter?

I agree with the no bridesmaid pics thing, but for a different reason. I’ve found that if a woman is wearing an elegant satin dress in her only pic, it’s probably also the only time she’s ever worn a dress. Get ready for her to show up to your date in jeans and a hoodie. Every time. Anyone else notice this?

I want to be as honest as possible from the start.
I’m short, fat, and ugly. Let’s date.

Patrick, I am 5′2″ and 180 lbs. If someone had the gall to call me fat to my face I would likely punch them. I may be a little overweight, but I am sexy. I can still go to the club and get the number of ANY man or woman I want. The fact is, I date confidently. I don’t doctor pictures on the internet in hopes that someone will love me. As it is now, I have been married for over 2 years to a man who is 6′5″ who loves the fact that I’m short. So don’t give advise where none is needed. Thanks.

GIve me a break. Instead of focusing on the “dont’s. why not focus on the do’s? It would help people a lot more.

Also, if you are female, when asked to describe your body type, and given the choices, say that you are “average” when you are 5′2″ and 190 lbs. Just because America is the most obese country in the world does not change the fact that you are fat.

Also, you ladies that are of average female height (5′0″-5′4″), stop asking for guys to be 6′4″ and above. It ain’t gonna happen, so even though you may be cute, you’ll get no response from the 5′9″ guys who actually might be compatible with you. You’re on a dating site. Stop being so picky.
