I posted this entry the other day about tips the yahoo personals sent about what to write in an email.
They should give tips like these instead...
1. Do not type in all CAPS or all lower case, use punctuation. What are you? animals? No, it is not a cute writing style.
2. Do not post unflattering pictures of yourself - if that's the only one you have, get out and have someone take a better picture of you. Speaking of pictures, do not post pictures of yourself taken from below the chin - unflattering on everyone.
3. Do not continue to stalk someone/send emails/continually check the profile of people who kindly sent you an email indicating they were not interested.
4. Please use the spell check option if you can't spell, it's nothing to be ashamed of - unless you spell words like intelligent incorrectly. Conveys doubt.
That's all I can come up with on the fly. Any other suggestions?
Oh and as a side note: why do old men who smoke keep writing me when I have a specific age range 10 or more yrs younger than they are? I'm asthmatic, smokers are a deal-breaker. They don't know that but they should know that I also specified non-smoker.

i could add a ton of things to this list!
5. if you are bitter and angry at the opposite sex, you are not ready to start dating yet. please do not bitch about women in your profile. it's kind of a turn off.
6. read the fucking profile. if i say i don't do long distance, it MEANS i don't do long distance.
7. do not use photos where you are wearing sunglasses. it's hard to see what you look like. also, don't post group pics -- readers do not know which person you are in the pic.
8. do not conceal the fact that you are divorced, have a kid or are unemployed. we will find out eventually. honesty is good.
Those are great tips VB. Maybe yahoo should hire us.
