Dr. Dato’s Brief:

A rather quaint and amusing post on ‘reading between the fine print’ when it comes to reading women’s profile in the online dating sites.

Zack Taylor makes good points on specific items to watch out for so you don’t make the mistakes that he had come across when he was in the online dating scene. Here is a few that I have summarized for your interest.

1. Usernames
Look out for usernames that say something like SexyGrl48, HappyGwen etc. These are sure indicators of what they are not ie. sexy or happy.

2. Headshots
If they only show headshot, they are probably hiding something like their body weight or something else.

3. Ranting profiles
If a woman clearly stipulates ‘no guys that lie or cheat..’, they are likely to have come out of a bad relationship or relationships and will most likely take out their frustration on you.

4. Rebound guy
Avoid women who say they have recently broken up, unless you want to be the rebound guy.

The bottom line is try to read between the lines before raising your expectation.

you should read between the lines in online dating profiles
