back to the original point.....

I think in on line dating men increase their likelyhood of better results with:-

1. clear indication of good looks via their photos
2. financial strength/status (mentioning owning a business or any other indication of probable wealth)
3. social status (mentioning numerious holidays/world travels, loads of photos showing their many friends/amazing social life)
This is all very true. Guys with all those characteristics are the ones getting swarmed with emails. There are very few men online who appear to fulfill all those characteristics. However, there seem to be quite a few guys who fulfill both #s 2 and 3, but have terrible photos. I know many women may not even read the profile if the pictures are unappealing and/or the guy does not boast of such a prestigious lifestyle. Those women often complain that the dreamboat in the profile did not fit the guy they met in person.

All in all, I think that online dating can be misleading since we have to box ourselves into a single profile. I find that many guys who would be unappealing online sometimes have charismatic personalities that only show up in person. I think it's a good idea to take up speed dating or go to in-person singles events in addition to going online.
