do you guys do internet dating?

It's really no better or worse than using personals. Depends on your luck, so might as well go for it. Same rules of caution apply.

Your loss... Unless of course there is a reason you wouldn't want others to see you?

I have met several very attractive women online, including one or two who were just gorgeous. I can't see that it is any less valid a means for meeting people than going out to bars, and it is better in the sense that you do not even meet them until you have gotten to know them pretty well. I find it meshes well with a busy life - during the week I am usually not interested in going out to bars, but it is easy enough to get online in my robe and meet women . . .

I've been doing the internet dating thing since I lost weight, starting back around October. I've met several attractive women that way and I've had repeat dates with a few of them. I'm currently into my third week of dating with the latest one and it's going very well. The amazing thing is that I didn't contact ANY women first, I've had like 10-15 contact me since I started and I'm not even good looking, just in good shape.

Post a picture, describe your personality, your likes, dislikes and hobbies and try to use a bit of humor in your profile and you'll get a lot of responses. I found MatchMaker.com to be much better than Match.com overall as far as active women members go.

any suggestions on a killer profile.

this is what his says so far:

"25 year old, self employed business, good looking, 5'10", 160lbs., funny, intelligent, nice. looking for friendship, maybe more."

What a lame line. That's what every other one says.

Girls have a built in advantage when it comes to marketing themselves. The vast majority of users of personals are guys anyway and most are desperate.

Things to use to his advantage:

- PICS PICS PICS. Girls aren't necessarily as critical as guys when it comes to physical attractiveness, but a pic DEFINITELY helps assure them he has nothing to hide. If he is indeed attractive that's a bonus.

- Funny / interesting tagline. That whole "funny, nice, intelligent" spiel is worn to the bone. The faster you can make them laugh or smile, the faster you'll get a response.

- You generally get quite a bit of room to write a description. Should go something like this:

"I am 25 years old, I run my own <type of business> company, which doesn't leave me a lot of time to meet people. I'm looking for <type of girl> with <features>. I like <hobbies>. I'm a <positive attributes i.e. hopeless romantic>. ."

etc.

What kind of girls does he want to pick up? Hints for keywords to use:

- Lonely, sweet girls --> "Hopeless romantic, knight in shining armor"
- Gold diggers --> "generous / benefactor"
-

I've heard those dating services really hook you up for one night stands.
