Straight Elite Male Companions For Women
If you are swimming in the dating pool, you are probably using some sort of online agency or app where you have to create a profile. Did you struggle about what to write and what might be appealing to a guy? Have you ever wondered what guys think when they read those profiles? One columnist recently polled some men to see where they think women might embellish their profile just a tad, and this is what they said they are somewhat skeptical about.
Their Looks
The number one thing the guys polled think a woman might lie about on her online dating profile is her looks. I am using “looks” as an umbrella term here that covers everything from your height to your weight to your body type to you using a photo of yourself from five years ago. Also, it’s important to note that if you post a picture of just your face, men interpret that as you either don’t have a nice body or you don’t like the body you have. Be confident enough to show your full form.
Their Age
Sometimes a woman may change her age to initially attract a man, but it’s such a silly lie to chose; will you pretend to be four years younger for the rest of the relationship? Since so many men have had this experience, don’t be surprised if a guy casually glances at your driver’s license when the bouncer asks for it at the door.
That They LOVE to Travel
Many women will put that they “LOVE to travel” even if they haven’t gone on any real trips or vacations in three years. We don’t recommend saying this on your profile because a) everyone says it, so you don’t stand out from the crowd at all, and b) even if you do love to travel, if you haven’t gone anywhere lately, it might get awkward real quick when he starts grilling you about your recent vacations.
The Amount of Time Spent at the Gym
In general, men believe women will exaggerate the amount or frequency of exercise they do. A woman may want to show off how important it is to her that she takes care of her body, but if you list that you go to the gym every single day, a guy will likely think you’re exaggerating.
That Impressive Book/TV Show/Movie You Mention
Men think women will leave off interests that might be considered too girly or immature, such as any kind of guilty pleasure TV show or magazine, and try to list more intellectual things like books they’ve read, on their profile. If you truly love a book, put it on the profile, but don’t be surprised if your date expects you to actually remember it in detail.
Level of Independence
Lots of pictures with you and the girls is nice, but if you keep posting about being fiercely independent and not at all clingy on a dating profile, a man might raise an eyebrow and grow suspicious. Why bring it up if you don’t want a guy’s mind to go straight there?
How Easy Going You Are
Similarly, when a woman says how she is a laid back, easy going, go-with-the-flow sort of person a man may begin to question if it is true or whether, in reality, she is actually very sensitive/easy to trigger. Best to leave those qualities out of your profile and show, don’t tell.
Interest in Sports
If a woman says how much she loves a sport, men tend to be suspicious about whether she is just trying to appeal to how much he loves that sport. If a woman says she loves a specific team or calls out a particular player as her favorite, men tend to be less skeptical.
How Successful You Are
While men are guilty of many of these 10 things too, men more often inflate their job title or position. So it’s no surprise that they may be suspicious of how successful you say you are. After all, they lied on their own profile about this one!
What You’re Looking for Romantically
If you say you’re looking for something casual a guy may not take that at face value. Many folks have had that casual hook-up buddy that after a few months suddenly wanted more. Sometimes you may think you want one thing (to be casual) and end up wanting something else (a real relationship). There’s nothing wrong with that, unless you’re purposefully trying to trick someone. If a guy has had that experience, he’s likely to be wary of you stating that you just want to be friends-with-benefits.
At the end of the day, both genders tend to stretch the truth a bit on their profiles, but it also seems to happen most on generic profiles. If you want to stand out from the crowd, talk about the things that really and truly interest you, things you love to do, like explore taco restaurants or binge-watch Netflix. This way you’ll attract someone you’re compatible with.
And just in case you are wondering, we take everything you tell us at face value. A Cowboy will not judge you, be skeptical, or investigate any claims you make. Time with us is all about being in the moment and forgetting the headaches of the real life dating world.
