Ever notice in the game of online dating you just go long enough until you can find something that is a dealbreaker on your list?
Another thing to remember is to take 5 seconds to look at dating from the opposite sex’s perspective.
Experience of a Guy:
At the beginning you wrote long emails about how much you liked her pictures and profile, and how you’d be a great match. You’ve written an email and gotten a reply, so you write another message or two and then all the sudden – *poof* everything stops. You’ve hit some kind of disqualifier in your last message. What could it be?
Well there’s a good chance that you’ll never know because once the messages stop – they’re not likely to start again. Unless she was talking to multiple people at once and all the sudden you just suddenly became attractive again after someone else disqualified themselves.
Now there’s a set of qualifiers from a guy’s perspective as well – and a lot of times they start with the pictures:
If you’re not a single parent and there’s multiple pictures of kids then you’re 2 seater sports car isn’t going to fit family fun outings (Next)
The main profile pic has a close up shot of their favorite pet (or there’s solo pet shots) then there’s some lingering issues there
You can spot the crazy eyes right from her profile pic (don’t scoff – it’s a real thing).
Experience of a Girl:

So you’ve finally sifted through all the messages you’ve gotten lately to find one that’s decent enough to investigate further. The quick glance of his profile shows that he’s one of the few that has taken some time to fill out some or most of the written description.
Then you’ve move on to the pictures – the first things you’re looking for is:
pictures of exes (lingering drama)
So after all of that you finally decide to give them a chance and go out with them for drinks, coffee or dinner. I’m no prude so even when it’s winter outside I’m not wearing a turtle neck sweater – this is where the next test comes in… a peek or two down to my girls is alright, but if he’s staring there all night and can barely make eye contact with me *BUZZ* thanks for playing.
