Nobody wants to admit to having a superficial side, but the honest truth is that when it comes to online dating, a profile picture truly does speak a thousand words. We’re all judging books by their covers here because, honestly, how else do we know which book to read further?
Now I know I have read studies proving that members with any profile picture get a higher rate of response than those without, but I’m sure you’re not looking for ...

That said, you may be at a point so early in this new relationship that you aren’t sure what you should do about your profile. Should you take it down? Or is it better to delete your profile? While not an area where a lot of people struggle, I have seen some misconceptions about how you should handle this so I wanted to speak ...

Most dating sites include the opportunity for a person to include their salary range as a part of their dating profile. Some people feel this is a bit too personal so it’s not uncommon to see this left blank.
However, financial success can be very attractive. I remember reading (and I apologize that I can’t recall the specifics) that in dating, a man could overcome nearly any negative quality with enough money. Some negative qualities would just require more money than ...

Because of its importance, I do my best to walk people through how to create their own profile in my step-by-step profile creation guide, but sometimes people want (or need) something more than this and that’s when I recommend my friend Kate at ...

It’s a situation many of us have been in: you decide to check your online dating account when heading to bed and before you know it, it’s 2AM and you’re considering sending an email to someone new. But would the timing of the email send the wrong message? Here’s how one reader puts things:

A reader recently contacted me with the following questions:
Continue Reading →I had a couple questions I was hoping you could help me with. I am self-employed, make a comfortable living, and I am about 5’8-5’9 in height. I have run into a lot of profiles where the woman has stated that her date needs to have a bachelor’s degree or be taller than I am. Do you think it is still worth it for me to contact them or should I just ...
From time to time I help readers by reviewing their profiles. Much of the advice I give is covered in my online dating guide but every now and again I think it’s good to go over a real example with all my readers.

How should someone with a visible disability approach revealing this information when dating online? A few times in the past year I’ve been contacted by readers who have had this question.
A reader recently wrote me with a very unique situation that was leading to multiple unsuccessful first dates.

In this case, my reader knew exactly why he was struggling on the first dates but wasn’t sure how ...

I’ve already shared my thoughts on how I recommend creating a dating profile in my article Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Dating Profile..
The truth is, I run this site and give dating advice in my spare time…which means I don’t have nearly enough time to help rewrite all of my readers profiles. So my goal all along with my step-by-step profile creation article was to enable people to improve their profiles without needing me.
Recently I was contacted by someone ...

Continue Reading →Hello, your site has been very helpful, but I still have another question.
I read the article on why woman may not respond to emails, but I have a related issue. What do you think it means if women that I email view my profile soon after, meaning they theoretically have read them, and then do absolutely nothing? This happens a lot to me and is quite frustrating.
Thanks for any ...
