Here is a start at it!!!! Read and shoot....

Five Common Mistakes Women Make on Dating Sites

1.Posting a picture of yourself from 5 years ago - Trying to start off a relationship from a lie is not the best way to go about online dating. This is precisely what people are afraid of when it comes to online dating; it is people posting pictures that are so far from how they look like in current time.

2.Posting pictures with weird angles - a bit related to the first mistake. It has been said that everyone has a certain flattering angle. While that would be good for a primary photo for a profile, you can't fill your whole photos box with pictures of that same angle. Posting a picture without altering the angle would give a more accurate representation of how you look.

3.Visiting profiles and never dropping a line - Some women like to play chase. This won't work in an online dating environment where profiles are readily available and whoever makes the first move wins. There are more women in online dating sites than men and with this kind of competition; women have to step up their game.

4.Writing long profiles - let's face it, when men view profiles they don't go straight to your about me section and read about your hopes and dreams. They look at your picture first and foremost. Attraction starts with the physical and it's about time we accept it. Keeping it short enough to capture his interest and simple enough to leave enough mystery for him to feed on is the key here.

5.Putting up a rule book - Nothing turns off a man more than being put in a box. They hate being controlled so profiles that list specifically what and how a date should go or the way she wants a man to behave is a major no-no.

And men or scammers enough with the long copy and paste messages.

It is a job application....is it not....I must have my wires crossed....

Say hi to your mum from me H.....and wish here a very happy and healthy years ahead.....from the Irish lass....

Oh, my dad used to always tell me not to ask a question unless I was sure I wanted the answer.
Let's hear some more. This is interesting.

Oh and you can download my rule book at my website www..... It was too large to fit here.

Men that dont like or being controlled should stay in a box.....I have a degree in using remotes....

Stop! You're scaring them!

Maybe that is why I am still here in my box on the golf course.. I will NOT be controlled, not do I wish to control, I already have 2 dogs..

Some of what she said is vert true. Woman are the same as men but are better at conceling what they truely want. They look at the pictures first just like the men. They like sex just like the men. The only thing is most guys are up front about it. That is the thing with woman in America they dont want to be labled a slut or a ho so they have to play the game. It is easier to meet woman in Europe becuase they know what they want and they tell you up front. I am a jilted man if you are reading this but I am learning from my mistakes. I am up front with what I want and dont lie about it. There is no point in lying because it will all come out eventually and that will lead to trust issues unless you can forgive and forget. Which face it is not a quality in most people. I would say woman but guys have that problem as well. I had a friend that woke up to his wife beating him with a broom because 5 yrs earlier he cheated and she forgave and forgot. Yeah right. If we are all honest and say what we want it would be a better place but that will never happen. You just have to be yourself and the right person will come along. And for got sakes dont try to change men unless they want to be changed. You get what you get you either like it or learn to like. It the whole Forest Gump thing but applies to people. That is what dating is for to see if you would like to spend the rest of your life with that person. I found that person but she unfortunatly thought that she could change me when at the time I didnt want to be changed. One thing for the men. If you do find that one peron that you want to spend the rest of you life with. You do have to give and do the things that she wants to do. LESSONS LEARNED.

Hope Every one gets what they want for christmas. I'm still wishing that my dream comes true.

Step away from the remotre control!!!! Danger! Danger!

Hey guys....I have been really busy with the holidays. I received this in email from a "not so happy guy" responding to my tips. I believe in free speech and am not afraid to post his response...it is kind of cute.

Just a note....I didn't actually write the "tips" for this site. Not all of them applied.

1. when you post a picture do not make it a glamor shot as that is probably the only day you will ever look THAT good.
2. if you write stuff like "must love dogs" then live happily ever after with those dogs and we will go find a human to live with.
3. if you tell us all about how you don't want a liar, drunk or a drug addict, then we get it, you have made REAL bad choices in your
past and probably still can not avoid losers so we should pass on you.
4. if you list all the countries you have traveled to recently and all the others you want to visit, keep on waiting for that gay travel agent
to contact you cause we have jobs to go to each week to pay our bills.
5. when you post pictures of you with tons of friends partying and lots of shots with you and other men that is a real turn on, NOT
6. writing all about what type of man you are looking for right down to his shoe size and preference in wine really makes us want to
change everything we are to fit your desires, yeah right. Lighten up and maybe someone will contact you. Superman is a character
in a movie not a real person. Oh and so is that knight guy on the horse.
7. if you write how you are 5'-5 to 5'-8 and want a man 6 foot to 6'- 6 cause you want to wear heels, here is a clue. Heels
are not good for you and neither is being fixated on height (PS. I am 6 foot just so you know), a lot of great Men are 5-9 which is
the national average by the way.
8. when women are from 36 to 45 years old and are fairly attractive and seeking a man that makes $100,000 or more, hello if the guy
makes that kind of money you had better be really hot and a lot younger.
9. women that never return emails cause they get so many and can not get to all of the poor slobs that make sexual comments and
respond with inappropriate remarks, here is the main way to avoid that...take off the 9 pictures of you in swim suits, low cut tops,
tonguing a Coors light bottle or kissing another woman.
10. and as Dave Letterman would say, the top ten reason Men act like they do...We are Men. We really LOVE it when you give us
unsolicited advice on things like dating.
