On Friday I went to a singles night in the nearest city. I went with 3 other women who had been to this particular club’s singles’ night before. I was assured that the club was always packed and that there are lots of good-looking men that go there. Unfortunately this was not the case. The standard of the men was definitely below par.
So no potential boyfriends there. To put it bluntly, it was like a meat market. The whole environment was sleazy. The men where looking women up and down and grabbing them. I saw more than one man get slapped in the face.
Even though from a dating point of view it was a total wash out, we did end up having a really good laugh and I made some new female friends too.
There is so much more to internet dating than signing up to a site and putting up a profile. If you want to find your perfect match online, you’ll need to commit some time and effort to using the site, find some potential dates and start chatting to people. Although this can all sound pretty straightforward, it’s easy to make mistakes along the way without realising it and end up further away from your goal than when you started.
One thing I’ve learnt through online dating is there is such a thing as bad publicity. The same as if you were in a bar or at a party – what you are wearing and the first few things you say to someone create that first impression. So, online, your profile picture and personal statement do the same. And there are many things you need to consider to ensure you are giving off the right impression.
