So we have spoken quite a bit about the safety of online dating and what you should do to ward away “the weirdos”, but what about tips on how to succeed online and actually meet someone great. We found this article about how to NOT screw up online dating. One thing the article suggested was that you should put your “best foot forward” when filling out your profile. One statement though caught our eye and made us start thinking. The article said to not talk about your shortcomings. Well what really are shortcomings? We all agreed that shortcomings meant something that you think others will find unsatisfactory. But the key word here is shortcomings in your eyes. What some people may see as a shortcoming may be something attractive to another. We came up with a couple of examples and we wanted to know what you guys thought. The best example we could come up with was the smoker. The person that smokes could see that as a shortcoming but if they were to meet another smoker then there would be no problem. A smoker could also meet a non-smoker that simply didn’t care that they smoked. Another common example would be a person that’s overweight. They might see their weight as a shortcoming but some woman simply like a bigger man… a sense of protection. We just found it odd that so many of the articles and responses we have found on online dating are ones concerned with how dangerous and unsafe online dating could be. This one was actually tips on how to succeed in online dating and some were very interesting. What do you guys think?
