Tip for Women #6: Insert Clever ___ Here

Okay girls. Many of you seem to be putting essentially no effort whatsoever into your profiles. There are good guys online, but none of them (us?) is going to want to get to know you if your profile is essentially two lines. You will, however, get messages from pratts, perverts, and meat-heads.

I respectfully request a moratorium on the following tactics.

1. "Insert Clever Line Here" as your subject line. LAME!

2. Griping about how Nerve requires you to write 50 characters about yourself just to fulfill the 50 character requirement. LAME!

3. Describing what you're looking for as "I'll know it when I see it". Why not just say "I refuse to make any effort, and I'm the sort of person who expects guys to jump through hoops for me." LAME! And a red flag!

4. Describing yourself as "if there's anything you want to know, ask me". Sure, blank female internet profile. There are 5.999 billion people on the planet that I know absolutely nothing about, and I'm supposed to be interested in you? LAME! And presumptious!

Get to work!
