Three Things That Scare Guys Away from Single Women on Online Dating Sites

Online dating is the name of the game these days. If you are single and looking, then it seems like the online dating option is a much more acceptable route to take than it was 20 years ago. It is basically the norm and nobody will look at you funny anymore when you tell them you met somebody online. During my time utilizing the online dating resources, I have made many observations, as did many of my friends and acquaintances that are also using online dating sites. We collaborated and shared our ideas and experiences. One of things we did was come up with a short list of things that scare away some of us men when reading the dating profile of a single woman. Here are three of them:

TRAVEL PICTURES:
Yes, it’s nice to showcase travel pictures, but when 8 out of 10 pictures are from your travels across the seas, then you are slightly bragging a bit, much like a man showing pictures of his car or big fish that he just caught. Traveling overseas is barely ever cheap, so it definitely gives the impression you are somebody with an expensive lifestyle (which is not a bad thing). Also, it gives the impression that you have a lot of free time! When a blue-collar male with a couple kids looks at this type of profile, he will likely keep looking. The time needed to raise the kids as well as the lack of large funds available in the bank will likely mean the guy will not try to waste the woman’s time, as he knows he could not keep up with the lifestyle she wants to maintain. He will be more motivated to go after a “homebody” that prefers staycations at local bed & breakfasts instead of 3-week trips to Europe.

PICTURES WITH LOTS OF GIRLFRIENDS:
t’s good to have friends, but if a woman has multiple pictures with extremely large groups of females around her, it may cause concern. The more female friends you have, the more female friends you have that might try to convince you that you are dating the wrong guy, especially if the female friends are mostly single and bitter from their most recent relationships or broken marriages. Furthermore, us men may wonder how much of our free time is going to have to be used up to hang out with all of her friends nearly every single weekend. That’s a lot of people to keep up with, and that’s not even including immediate family members!

STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN:
 don’t think it’s a secret that many of us men do not like to see “Strong Independent Woman” written in a woman’s dating profile. Many of us have no issues with a GENUINE strong and independent woman, but self-labeling can look sketchy at times. A tough guy rarely feels the need to tell other people that he is tough. A funny woman rarely needs to tell other people that she is funny. The more I hear a woman call herself strong and independent, the less I believe it, but I certainly know there are exceptions to this assumption! During my lifetime, I think of the strongest, most badass women I have met. There is one thing they all have in common — not once did I ever hear any of them label themselves as strong and independent. I would rather hear this type of statement/claim being said by people around her, which would make it much more convincing.
