Oh I definitely agree to all of these, especially keeping the profile succinct and not a novel.  I do disagree with the suggestion of getting photos professionally done.  It might be just me, but it seems the same as what I hear about women taking glamor shots.  It's not necessarily natural, a touched up photo in a studio setting and it puts me off.  It seems fake to me...I'm fine if you take a photo of yourself and put it up.  Just remember, try and include some sort of body shot too! (preferably not next to your ex-wife/girlfriend/lover) LOL!!  Oh...and not from longer than a year ago! We all think we look the same but really, most of us don't!  So please have a recent photo.

I disagree with #2. Too many guys have far to little information in their profile -- almost none have "novels." I would much rather know more about a match than less.

The primary reason I don't respond to matches (and this would be on match.com rather than eHarmony since eH is set up differently) is that they send an obviously canned e-mail... something generic that they send to every female. My profile is rather detailed and unique. If a guy can't find something in it to comment on, I know he hasn't read it. Also, if the guy is a musician, biker-dude with bully dogs and wrote to me, he for sure didn't read my profile!

Also, I don't respond to guys who live outside of my metro area... if they had read my profile they would know that I am not interested in long-distance romances.

Great article! My pet peeve: My ex, like many online daters, makes numerous spelling errors, doesn't even seem to take the time to spell check or proofread. Maybe it's the writer in me that gets annoyed when there are multiple mistakes in even a brief email. However, if they can't take the time to proofread a message to a potential "Ms. Right," then are they really interested in that individual, or simply mass-mailing to dozens of women?

Since I am a living human being and expect to be treated as such, it is clear that the vast majority of women are not, or deserve not, since I never write a woman unless I meet every single one of her criteria.

Yet, they ignore me.

Makes me want to send junky e-mails to all of them.

You should try writing to a few whose criteria you fall a few steps short of. They'll see you as a challenge and invest more energy.

The reason for that is most of those guys' educations ended with being able to read their own tattoos.

I think if men can show humor and warmth in their profile and have a few good pics - they would be the popular guys at the site.

Add in money, and they would be taken. lol!! (Kidding! Well kind of but not really since it is true for a lot of people, excluding present company of course.)
