Internet Dating Advice - 7 Internet Dating Tips For Men

When you are using internet dating sites, there are some critical rules you must follow if you want to have success getting phone numbers and winning dates. Here are seven guidelines that you should adhere too.

1. Your Photos Are Important

When guys first email me asking for advice, or complaining that they are not getting responses from women online I usually find out that they have either one bad photo or no photos up on there profile.

A lot of guys will try and play down the importance of pictures and say things like status and personality and much more important for men than looks which is true. However, the way you present yourself is a great indicator of both your personality and your status. If you are dressed in a tailored suit, then you are probably going to convey executive.

If you were dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, Levi Jeans and a pair of sandals, then you are probably going to be something entire different. These stereotypes also lead people to assume something about your personality and in turn you get grouped in the same personality type as everybody that person has ever met from that stereotype.

While women do not care about good looks as much as men do, how you look is critical. Understanding the difference between being good looking and looking good is critically important when it comes to attracting women. You want to avoid being placed in a stereotype, in particular a bad stereotype for example a boring account or a hippy. How you dress and present yourself becomes even more important via the internet as women have nothing else to judge you on than what is in your profile.

2. Use Creative Headlines To Stand Out

Grabbing attention is one of the biggest issuing facing anyone using the internet today. Lets face it we all receive dozens of emails per day, some from friends, some family, some work related ones, some from companies trying to sell us something, others from newsletters we have signed up to, some annoying chain emails and some trying to sell us Viagra. Women in a lot of cases get even more emails than men, in particular women who use online dating and social networking sites get a lot more than men.

The reason why is simple, every other guy has realized what a great way too meet women online dating is and is sending every girl the same email hoping for a reply. It usually reads something like this "Hey sexy, you are really hot, anyway add me at imadouche@hotmail.com if you want to chat, hopefully talk later babe." I'll get into why this is the completely wrong way to contact a woman and what you should be doing instead later.

Trying something that will stand out, something with a little extra substance, something that will get you noticed. Now that does not mean abusing a woman, being rude or derogatory in any way. Find something in her profile that stands out or make a comment about what all the other guys are doing, maybe something like "Sick of every guy sending you the same thing?" This will probably get you some attention and get her too read it. Now she has opened it, it's now time to back it up with some substance.

3. Avoid Free Dating Sites.

I can count the amount of Free Online Dating sites I would recommend you using on one hand, they are currently Plenty Of Fish, Myspace and Facebook, most of the others I have try have been very sparsely active, full of deadwood, full of spam and a complete waste of time, especially sites like Craigslist Personals.

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of guys who email me asking for advice that are both using these dead wood free online dating sites and who have only got one bad picture or no pictures of them up online. It's like they either like staying single because it gives them something to complain about, they have low self esteem and they are embarrassed to show their face on the internet. Grow up, if you don't have the balls to show your face on the internet, or are worried about your privacy grow up. 70% of the adult single population is online in America and chances are the statistics are similar where you are too.

If you are serious about meeting a woman then you should be prepared to invest some money into doing so. Even if you are on sites like Lavalife and are not paying then you are wasting your time because you cannot contact anyone. Having a woman approach you when you are not even prepared to pay too meet someone is not likely as it shows you are not that serious about meeting someone. If you are on a shoe string budget may you can try Find Me Date Me and see if it works, I haven't had time yet.

4. Learn How To Compliment Women The Right Way

This one might see simple, yet almost ever guy screws this one up big time. Every guy tries to get in the good books by giving her an amazing compliment. The only problem is she has heard the exact same thing from 20 other guys 10 times a week, 52 times a year for the past five years rehashed hundreds of different ways.

For that reason alone I suggest that you never again give a woman a compliment on her physical appearance. Even worse is giving a woman a compliment with out referring to anything specific, for example calling a woman hot or sexy. Instead trying something a little different, find something about her that is in her profile that you like, even if it is just something that is conveyed by her pictures.

The key to giving her sincere praise is too tell her why you like what you a complementing her on.

5. Communicate The Same Way You Do In Real Life

You are more likely to be a lot more successful if you have a real conversation with a woman online. Write the same way you talk to someone in real life. Using this kind of communicate creates rapport and makes meeting online seem a lot more normal and lowers her guard to meeting you as she feels like she already knows you.

A few strategies you can deploy to make things a bit more personable is use her first name, bust her balls a little about something in her profile, give her a nick name and write like you are old friends.

6. Create Rapport

Most guys either judge women on their looks and beauty or talk about themselves in an attempt to impress her. Asking questions make things more perosnal. You are interacting with someone you only know on face value you are going too need to ask some questions too get to know her.

Avoid the job interview type questions and ask something more interesting or a little more out there.

7. Always Be Closing

Make sure you always follow your ABC's [Always Be Closing] as you can waste a lot of time going to go no where fast on Internet Dating sites if you aren't focused on closing.

After each email, phone call or point of contact make sure you are taking the lead and suggesting the next logical point of escalation.

Now I want to make sure you implement each one of these changes and notice how your success improves greatly. All these factors are critical too your success so it is important that you address all seven areas.
