One of the most common themes that guys use, is to try and come across like the sweet and sensitive type. They will write about how they like walks on the beach, moon lit strolls, and candle lit dinners. They write this stuff, not because they actually like it most of the time, but because they think this is what women want to hear.

The big problem with writing out a profile like that is… it sounds like every other clueless guy that is on these kinds of sites. Seriously, if you were to look at 100 guys profiles, I would wager that at least 30 of them are using the same exact storyline. After a while it all sounds the same and it all sounds pretty fake. Most women can see right through this.

When you hook up the profile, you don’t want to sound like every other clueless guy. You want to sound original. Not only that, you don’t want to sell yourself short. You don’t have to come off as brash and arrogant, but you also don’t want to come across as sheepish either.

Tell your real story, just juice it up a bit. Tell about how you like to do guy stuff. It’s okay. Straight women want to meet guys who do guy stuff. It’s a lot more believable and real if you mention that you like to go to Jets games on the weekends with your buddies and have a little fun than to say that you just want to find someone that you can share your soul with.

If you are successful in your career, put that out there. If you are not so successful career wise, find a way to spin it so that it does not seem like you have a hapless job. Whatever you do, if you are going to get dates and get some attention from an online dating site, you have to be original and you cannot sell yourself short.
