For guys on dating sites...

After my boyfriend of 4 years broke up with me, I became no stranger to dating sites. I had never been on any dating sites until recently. It is so hard to be a girl on a dating site. This is for all you guys who are out there trying to find yourself a good girl.

Profile Pictures.

In today's society, your profile picture is what is going to attract most people to your profile (no, I'm not talking about looks). Do not show how much money you have in your profile pictures. If you are looking for a good woman, it won't matter how much money you have. Most of us could care less how much money you have. If anything it comes off to us as you being cocky or arrogant.

Classy. Is. Sexy. We get it, most people have two middle fingers. Just because you have them doesn't mean you need to show them. That's right, I'm talking about flipping the camera off. That just screams douchebag. That's not the kind of man that we want to bring home to our mama's. Not only is that unattractive, that's also super unprofessional. Keep in mind that what you post on the internet can affect future job opportunities.

If you do drugs, that's your choice. It is nice for those who do post on their profile that they do drugs. That prevents us girls from wasting our time. Just a piece of advice, do not have drugs in your pictures on a dating site. That is a turn off. Bad boys are so overrated.

I will never understand why guys post these types of pictures on dating sites. Do not post a picture of yourself with a bunch of girls who work at Hooters. If you're on a dating site that means your goal is to find a girlfriend, that's not going to find you a girlfriend. I've even seen some guys post pictures of them with their ex-girlfriends. For some of us, we look at that as if you're not over your ex.


Your biography.

Don't put something like "Yo" or " message me". The whole point of having a biography is so that nobody wastes their time on people that they don't have anything in common with. For us women, it's a big step if we message you. We don't know if you're going to be a psychopath, if you're going to be clingy, or even a pervert. We try to avoid those types of people as much as possible. Just put something genuine about yourself. I'm not saying post your entire life story, I'm saying tell us the basics.


Your approach.

I cannot stress this enough, WE DON'T WANT TO SEE A PICTURE OF YOUR JUNK. We are women. We are not a slut, we're not a whore, or hoe. Not only is it insulting to see a picture of your junk, it is also super super unattractive. If you insist on sending a picture of that nature, ask if it's okay first. The majority of us might not reply but it is still polite to ask.

Don't copy and paste a message that you sent to previous girls (trust me, we know if you use the same pick up line to multiple women). Ask us genuine questions. Be yourself. Don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself either, humility is sexy. Complement us without being overly creepy. There are thousands of adjectives to describe people, don't call us hot. Remember, be a gentleman.


It's okay to be nervous. I promise, us women are nervous too. Don't pretend to be something you're not. The best thing I can tell you is treat us how you will treat us the entire relationship. Don't ever let the honeymoon stage expire. If you're putting on a bigger front then who you really are, stop it. We aren't looking for Superman, we are looking for a gentleman.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
