Dr. Dato’s Brief:

Here is another good post on advise for online daters, although I think they took the “Thou shalt..’ a bit too far

Instead of going through the entire list, I will only mention the pertinent ones.

2. Thou Shalt Put Others Before Thyself
A fair comment on where some people unobtrusively make their profile sound too much like “I”. Ideally you want to mention more about the person you want to meet and also have a common ground to talk about ie. activities that you like doing etc.

3. Thou Shalt Read Profiles Before Communicating
Good point in that most messages sent by users are not specific enough and sounds like the person just skimmed over the profile. If you want to add value to your message you need to read the profile and message appropriately with some substance.

7. Thou Shalt Be Unique
This pertains to the user making his profile and activities unique enough so that it stands out from the crowd. For example, a popular facebook profile gets attention because its always engaged with interesting stuff and therefore draws an audience.
