This week, we want to talk about the perils you should avoid.

Here we go

1. Don’t give inaccurate information

Tell your actual age, use current pictures and don’t overhype your body type. Remember that you will meet this person and you must comes as advertised. if you do not look like yourself, that will be a put off. And they could report your account and you could get banned.

2. Avoid long profiles

Long profiles are a mess. Short paragraphs, concise ones are more interesting. Short bursts are easier to digest and your audience will be happier for it.

3. Don’t list what money you want

Every so often, you come across a listing where someone is clear that they want a financial arrangement in exchange for sex. It is off-putting. Sure, it is good to say you like the finer things in life, but saying you want to have money handed to you, that is problematic.

4. Don’t be self-absorbed

We come across profiles which are demanding of what the other person should be. Listing all your wants and none of what you offer makes it all about you, and upsets anyone who may be interested. You would not want someone who just wants to take. Why would someone else?
