How to go Weeding

When swimming in the dating pool online, I have discovered a way of fishing out the true intentions of many of the men I have webmet.

A man who posts photos of his home, his animals, his acquisitions, etc. is a long term bachelor.  Getting this type of man into any committed relationship will take skill, because he is comfortable with his domain.  He is also letting those of you with allergies know that if it came between you and the dog... you lose.

A man who posts photos of himself in a reclined position, or missing any article of clothing that he would make sure to have on if he went to church, is one that is advertising that he is in it for a hook-up.  Yes, his profile may read that he is interested in finding a relationship, but a photo is worth a thousand words... and his word is sex.

If you come across a profile where someone asks if you want to come play with them and their pet - RUN.  Speaking from personal experience, the use of a dog in a profile is not only a way to lure women in with "awww your dog is so cute."  You have heard that taking a dog to a dogpark or pushing a baby stroller is a great way for men to pick up women, as many of us will stop and remark how sweet the puppy/baby looks.  However, in the world of... AHEM... BEASTILITY, it is common knowledge that the invitation to come and play with a person and their pet insinuates just that...  I fell victim to this practice just this past week, and I begrudgingly admit I did not read the entire profile after looking at the photos of this HOT man.  I inspected each of his photos with a magnifying glass, making sure it was actually him that looked like a male model.  It was him all right, but little did I know him included an IT.  I will never look at a profile the same way again.

If you receive a message from a suitor that seems attractive, and the profile says all of the right words, then ask to see a second photo.  Anytime someone only posts one photo of themself, you better follow up with the request of additional photos.  This request is made not only to verify that he didn't just catch ONE good angle and the rest is hideous, but also to determine that he is who he says he is.

Many dating sites have been hacked my scam artists.  I had one that was very good.  In fact, he was so good that it took me two or three emails before I caught on that it was someone posing as another person.  If you get a message from a man and the grammatical skills of the email are poor, but upon viewing his profile he seems literate in English, then this profile has been hacked.  Watch out.
