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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
