Ladies: 5 online dating mistakes you’re making

We checked with some of our favorite male counterparts to find out their biggest pet peeves about women when it comes to online dating, and we had to agree – sometimes we aren’t exactly putting our best foot forward. Here’s what we’re doing entirely wrong and how to fix it.
Freelance // Freelance

Posting revealing pics

Don't post pictures that show too much skin for online dating Next Slide

-- By Gina Cohen

If your photos show you wearing skin-tight minis and tube tops with boobage spilling out all over the place, you might look hot but you’re not making the best impression. Put away the duckface pic of you in Cabo wearing a thong, and stick with a photo of you wearing a smile -- and clothing that covers your choochoo, booboo.

Waiting for an email from Prince Charming

Previous Slide Don't wait to be contacted, contact the person you think is cool Next Slide

Listen, I’m a woman, too -- believe me, I know we want to be wooed. But don’t let your need to be desired keep you from looking around and -- gasp -- yes, even being the first to email. Don’t assume that just because you’ve looked at a guy’s profile he automatically knows you’re interested. In fact, it’s sometimes just the opposite: He assumes that you're not into him because you looked at his pictures and didn’t reach out. Maybe he was interested in you but now he thinks he'd be rejected if he made contact. So don’t be shy, say hi.

Discounting the shorties. And the baldies

Previous Slide Set you parameters a little wider and you might find someone you really like Next Slide

You love wearing heels and you don’t love looking like a giant next to your man -- fine. But if you set your filters too tightly and suggest you’re interested in men only 6’0 or taller, you may miss out on a gem (Matt Damon, George Clooney and Brad Pitt are all under 6 feet tall, girlfriend). Give some serious thought to what you need versus what you want, and open your mind, lady! Also, consider the things in life that change over time. Character typically doesn't. Clothing choices? For sure.

Fudging your age

Previous Slide Be honest when online dating Next Slide

Ever been out on a date with a great guy and he catches a glimpse of your driver’s license? Busted! If you’re pushing 40 but could pass for 32, just tell the truth. It’s time for us all to own our age. If you’re getting filtered out by guys looking for younger women, guess what -- you don’t want those guys. You want a guy who accepts and cherishes you, regardless of how many candles were on your last birthday cake.

Bringing up your exes

Previous Slide Don't mention ex-loves Next Slide

So your photos are great, you profile rocks and now you’re on a first date with quite the catch. Don’t blow it by talking about your ex. Guys don’t want to hear about how Mr. Previous was cheap or how he played too much World of Warcraft. Or, conversely, how great he was at, well, anything. Focus on the guy in front of you, and you may just keep him from being your next ex.

As a man, let me advise you women on some other things that will make a potential guy run from the hills:

1.  Using words/phrases such as "Prince Charming" or "Fairy Tale" - tells us guys you have no tolerance for the give/take good/bad times that is a relationship.  "Tall Dark Handsome" is a run-don't-walk headline AS IS any headline that refers to fictional characters (e.g. I want my Christian Grey! or some stupid Twilight reference or what have you).  You're being unrealistic.

2.  Those ads that say "Are there any REAL men?" or "Tired of dating losers", etc.  YES, there are real men - millions of us!  These ads speak only to the poor decision-making skills YOU (yes you, the lady!) have had...why will this be any different?  Don't complain about men in your ad seeking a man.

3.  Ads that indicate a picture (e.g. a picture icon) - you open just to find some cliche "motivational poster" or ANY picture that is not you and/or is edited/photoshopped to make your appearance anything but what it is.  You meet me and you don't look like "you" will mean instant end of date/relationship.  It's lying.

4.  Any posting that has a list of "requirements" just like a job application.  We're not "applying" for the "privilege" of your company.  Maybe YOU are privileged for MY company - ever think that?  If you're looking for a man just like you'd shop for a car, well...we notice that and 90% of us will SKIP your ad.

5.  "BBW's" or other imperfect women (which is...all of us) demanding fit/tall/etc. men....if WE are being asked to ignore your weight (which is a  matter of choice) don't make demands for a perfect specimen (especially with regards to height, which cannot be controlled by a person - UNLIKE over-eating or bad nutrition or no exercise).

6.  Demanding a picture before giving a picture.  ODDLY THIS MAKES MEN FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ANSWERING AN AD FROM ANOTHER MAN!  Eye-opening?

7.  If you have kids?  Now you're asking for a guy not only to "fall in love" with YOU but also your kids...kids are typically seen by men as an additional responsibility where you might have to cooperate with her "ex", etc.  IF YOU HAVE KIDS - first, tell us up front.  Second - we're tired of the ads that say "BBW - you better accept it!" and "Kids - you better accept it!" then demanding perfection in the guy.

8.  ANY AD that makes the #1 criterion for a relationship looks-based.  Looks fade, can change at any minute (e.g. accident)...if you're not any deeper than looking for a guy based on looks - why don't you just hire male escorts for when you're lonely?

I'm sure I haven't thought of some.

As a man the instant turns off's for me are pcitures of women holding  up a beer bottle or mixed drink , holding ankle biting dogs and cats, and standing with men in the photo.  Another no no is standing in a photo with women and not pointing yoursefl out.

Men, if you are over 55, don't put in your profile that you will only date women under 40.

Most women in their 20s and 30s have no interest at all in dating a man old enough to be their dad. I can assure you of that.

Let's see. Used match.com for a year or so, and noticed a few things while sharing a coffee or a glass of wine with several women:

- Me sucked in by the match.com "glam shot" only to meet you in person and there is no resemblance = liar, untruthful woman.

- Comments during our conversations such as "I believe in being healthy and not obsessing on one's looks." = "I'm struggling to keep my weight down and will certainly gain much more once I have trapped a man in a relationship."

- Comments such as “a man must accept my children as his own” = “I am looking for a meal ticket to raise my kids.”

- Comments such as “Wow!  You must have good benefits (reference to health/dental/retire​ment plans)” = “I am looking for a meal ticket.”

- Any woman who is over ~35 years old and has never been married or in a long-term relationship = “I really have no idea what I want so it will be the same for you.  Nothing will change.”

- Lastly, just a simple conversation in private surroundings, as we surreptitiously steal glances (although quite obvious to both) and awkwardly part for the night and exchange phone numbers, so we can meet again a few days later and continue the conversation….

Are there women in this world who dislike bald men?  I can't understand that.  I'll take a bald and sexy Bruce Willis or Samuel L. Jackson any day over a thick-haired Justin Bieber or (gag) Charlie Sheen.  A neatly trimmed guy with male-pattern balding is a lot better than some guy who has stupid tattoos, a creepy 70's mustache (he says it's ironic, but I don't believe him), or wears a permanent bandana.  There are plenty of awful lifestyle choices that ring far louder alarm bells than height or hair thickness.

HA! number 6 is never my idea. I always get asked by guys first about my Ex's. And I always ask them, "Do you really want to go down that road, cause it's not necessary and I take every guy as an individual", and the answer is always the same, "Yeah, I'm just curious.... I wont get upset or anything."  - LMAO Guys can be just as self conscious s women and nosy as well. Although it has never gotten me into trouble either and it's never been a deal breaker because they asked for it, unlike a lot of women, when they say they wont get mad, that is usually a big fat lie. But all the other ones should be common sense ladies, I mean, really, when you filter too much, you leave out what you need in a man and go for what you want, which most times are too unrealistic and over reaching. Yes, we all have a right to be picky to an extent of what we are looking for in a partner, but don't go looking in a Romance Fantasy book as your criteria for a guy, cause you will be gravely disappointed all the time. Of course there are always exceptions to the rules, but don't live your life as if you and your choices will always been those exceptions, you'll find that will lead you to be a lot more lonely then you would like.

Okay, I read both articles.  I think I am more guilty of bringing up my ex's than most women.  Anyway, as for the ladies I like or go after...I seldom if ever see them on singles' sites.  

I am looking for a "lady", but every profile I read talks about how much they love fishing, camping, four-wheeling, kick-boxing, hunting, etc.  Perhaps it is just me, but why would I want a woman who likes acting more macho than me? 

 I do not have a problem with women dressing provocative, but there is a difference between provocative and trashy.  Also...if you have a picture of you with your children (something I find in poor taste for a dating site anyway)...it looks less trashy of you to have a pic in go-go boots, fishnets, and a leopard leather mini...than to have a pic with you and your four children (white child, black child, indian child, asian child) then listing that your occupation is stay at home mom,  that you have never been married, and you are looking for a man that is responsible.

How about the old - "Looking for intelligent/Good conversation" but they respond with Text msg that makes them sound like an idiot. Good conversation for a woman means..She talks..we listen.

WOMEN'S ENGLISH: 
1. Yes = No 
2. No = Yes 
3. Maybe = No 
4. We need = I want 
5. I am sorry = You'll be sorry 
6. We need to talk = you're in trouble 
7. Sure, go ahead = you better not 
8. Do what you want = you will pay for this later 
9. I am not upset = Of course, I am upset, you moron! 
10. You're certainly attentive tonight = is sex all you ever think about?

i dont mind hearing about the ex because it give me a blueprint on what not to do and what u didnt like. I sometimes talk about my ex and why she is a ex to women i am dating and they really get into it. u can tell if he wants to go there or not by jjust throwing out one thing about ur ex and if he bites on it and ask more then he wants to know. Just know the things to say that will help him and not things like how big his penis was and how good the sex was with him...lol  My ex had a pic of her ex's car (mercedes S550) still on her phone so i should have know she was just looking for a replacement car to drive on the weekends...lol Ladies u have to understand that the only way you are going to know what u dont want in a man is to date a man that does or have it. Telling a new man about what ur ex use to do that pist u off will only be teaching him how u like to be treated. its not all bad if u do it right! men love to learn from women(in and out of the bedroom) and the only way  for him to learn ABOUT YOU  is for YOU to  teach him. And the only way u have learned about what u  dont like is through ur ex and that is why he is a ex.

I just cant believe the same woman that wrote "what men are doing wrong" is now telling women what we men dont like...lol I guess MSN is trying to save money by cutting back on writers.  I hope women read what some real men post and learn from that!

I'd like to add that one beef I had with the online dating was stating that I didn't have children, didn't want children and wasn't interested in dating anyone with children.  Guess what?  Apparently nobody ready my profile or thought that part was negotiable.  I don't HATE children, I just didn't want to date someone who had them, plain and simple.  I didn't want to deal with the ex child custody/money/etc., etc drama or the last minute...Sorry, I can't go out with you this weekend, because my kid is sick/with me this weekend/etc., etc.   I think they saw my picture and skipped my profile, which was frustrating.  Also, if you are hateful in your profile about if someone doesn't have a picture you aren't going to respond to them, that could be your loss.   And even if I do have a picture and I read that, you sound hateful and aren't getting an e-mail/date from me.  But if you are indeed, a hateful, nasty person, that's a good way to give a heads up of what someone interested in you would be in for, so there's the silver lining there.

Met my husband on Match.com.  We have been married 3-1/2 years now; 14 months of dating before marriage.  We were both in our early fifties when we met and married. Third marriage for both of us -- I had been divorced and widowed and he had been divorced twice.  I met a few others on-line who were not my cup of tea before winding up with my husband.  Trial and error.  Nothing really wrong with the other guys other than we didn't have enough in common to sustain a long-term, substantive relationship.  It is possible to meet a good mate on Match.com or other sites but you have to be wary and vet them well.

I don't like tall men - I'm 5-3 and I think 5-9 is perfect for a man - then I don't get a crick in my neck looking up at him.    I can't say I'm attracted to bald men, but I'm not repelled either.  If he is smart and makes me laugh, that's great.  If he cooks, that's even better - I'll do the cleanup.  I can cook but I prefer not to.  

I can't believe women actually put Prince Charming of height requirements on their online dating bits - that is pretty shallow.  Looks fade but good character, a brain, manners, and a sense of humor are essential in a partner, whether it is for a relationship or a marriage.

Being a really old person I never understand about women trying to "catch" a man.  Here is a tip, men could care less if you are wearing gucci, or bloated, or your age or anything else.  If you want to "hook up", just rip open your top and have at it.  Trust me, no man is gonna say no.  If you are fat, old, or ugly... he may look around first to see if anyone is watching... but he'll say your his forever for a few minutes.

The reason why men ask you about your ex's is because chances are they have just had a bunch of 10 minute drunken hookups that day, and are on their way to their weekly STD check up, and ... if they may actually be interested in you as a person... they kind of want to know how many other trains have been traveling down that old tunnel of love before they stick their little pokey part inside...

shorties and baldies are as bad if not worse than gingers..runn runn..well unless you're a shorty or a baldy then by all means.. personally, think being a gingers/strawberry blondes could be such a striking gift from God, but all ducks need to be in order..and the house in check. like properly channelled fury..

Clooney and Pitt are both very ugly men with a history of cheating. And Pitt doesn't bathe on a regular basis. (Plus neither are good actors.) So I don't know why you're calling those two losers "gems." 

Now if you want to call attention to hot baldies how about Patrick Stewart? Hubba hubba!

As for emailing first - no way. It's the man's duty, honor, and privilege to make the first move. Better to be alone forever then attached to a coward.
