DON’TS

-don’t be negative and start off stating what you don’t want, or even worse, being disparaging about the women you’ve encountered

-don’t complain about bots or onlyfans girls – they exist on dating apps, get over it. it’s negative and repetitive to complain about it. just silently weed them out like a good sport.

-don’t post pictures of kid(s). absolutely be honest about having kids, any man who hides his children is a big red flag. but understand the nuances. mentioning that you’re a father in your profile is fine, checking off the option for “has kids” is great, plastering your children’s face on Tinder is not.

-don’t plagiarize game. the use of recycled quotes that you found on a Reddit sub about online dating are an absolute no go. they are repetitive, obvious and so commonly used that she’s definitely already seen it twice.

DO’S

-do talk about yourself and the type of relationship you want. girls who are reading your profile aren’t there to read that you’re looking for someone “smart beautiful funny” they wanna find out if you are smart handsome funny

-do include recent pictures that are an accurate representation of what you look like irl. older men, stop posting 20 year old pictures, the pixel resolution is a dead giveaway that it’s a photo from the 90’s.

-do try to make the reader laugh or smile. avoid vulgar, rude, offensive jokes unless that’s the type of girl you’re trying to attract.

-do mention your work or career, if you don’t have any, reconsider dating. you should talk about your work just enough so that she knows you work but not so at length that it bores her.
