Online Dating Guide For Women (How to Land a Quality Man Online)

Hey ladies, its your favourite dating coach
here of course as you guys know my name is Amy North, and dating advice videos like
this one are what I do, so lets dive straight into todays topic, which is. Drum roll please. Online dating. Yes, online dating is what this video is all
about.

More specifically, Im going to talk about
how to find great guys on internet dating sites like Match.Com, eHarmony, etc. Now, I can hear some of you ladies groaning
already, so let me address you skeptics out there watching this right now there really
are awesome guys on dating websites. Lots of them. The key is to weed out all the weirdos and
fake profiles, and hone in on the ones that are actually worth your time.

Even if youve tried online dating in the
past and it was a complete disaster, I encourage you to give it another try. Except this time, employ all the tips and
suggestions Im about to talk about in this video. Before I get into some of those little-know
tips, lets first quickly review the advantages of online dating: 1.) You can find and meet way more guys. Offline, you can meet guys at the bar, through
mutual friends, at work, or through a random encounter at the grocery store, the gym, etc.

But what if your Mr Perfect lives on the other
side of town, doesnt ever visit your gym or your favourite pub, and doesnt have
any friends in common? By going online, youre able to access a
whole lot more guys that you wouldnt otherwise be able to meet or interact with. 2.) You can target your search. Ive worked with some coaching clients who
are only interested in dating men who share their religious beliefs, for example. And dating websites let you narrow your search
to like-minded guys, so you can join a site for Christians, for instance, and then youll
know before you even meet a guy that hes going to meet that criteria.

There are weird niche dating sites out there,
too FarmersOnly, for instance, which is a site
for single farmers. Or GlutenFreeSingles, if youre looking
to date someone with Celiac disease. Theres weirder ones, too, but Ill leave
you to find those on your own.. 3.) You dont have to put in much effort.

No need to get dolled up and hit the club
to meet guys if youre using a dating site once you create a good profile, you can sit
back and wait for men to message you. (Now, thats not always the best way to
meet guys online, but its definitely possible, because there are way more men on dating websites
than there are women.) 4.) You can do your homework before the first
date. You know what sucks? Showing up at a blind date that your friends
have set up for you, only to discover your date looks like a shabby, balding troll
and has a personality to match. With online dating, you can at least chat
with a guy and learn a bit about him before you agree to meet in person, which reduces
the chance of a tragic first date.

Those are four of the biggest advantages of
online dating but there are also a few drawbacks. Most importantly, personal safety. Much like the offline world, there are some
creepy dudes with bad intentions on dating sites, so you need to be careful not to disclose
too many personal details and be cautious when you first meet in person. Follow basic safety stuff like that, and youll
be fine.

A second drawback to online dating is actually
the same as one of the advantages I just talked about: youve got your choice of thousands
of men online. Thats a good thing, but its also a bad
thing if it leads to you being way too picky so, resist the temptation to delete messages
from men who dont exactly match your idea of the perfect guy. Scientists call this the tyranny of choice,
but I personally think its generally a good problem to have. OK, now, just a quick break here before I
go any further ladies, if you have a question or comment about the stuff Im talking about
in this video, just post it in the comments below.

I read all your comments, and I try to respond
to every single one, especially questions from those of you whove already subscribed
to my YouTube channel. So click that subscribe button and post your
thoughts in the comments below and Ill get back to you. Alright, lets move on and talk about some
of the things you should do to maximize your chance of meeting your soulmate online. These are all best practices and if
youre at all serious about using dating sites to meet guys, then I strongly encourage
you to put them all into practice.

Choose the website wisely. As I mentioned, there are hundreds of dating
sites out there, and some are better than others. Unless youre only interested in dating
farmers, guys who dont eat gluten, Catholics, etc, then I suggest you sign up for a couple
of the biggest, most well-known dating sites, such as Match.Com, eHarmony, and PlentyOfFish. Those sites will usually have tons of male
members who live in your area.

Those matchmaking algorithms that some
dating sites advertise are generally pretty useless, but they do have one advantage: they
weed out the creeps who are just looking to get laid, because most of those losers are
too lazy to spend an hour filling out questionnaires. Similarly, if youre looking for a long-term
relationship and not just someone to hook up with, then choose a paid dating site rather
than one of the free ones, because anyone willing to pay for a subscription is going
to be a lot more serious about finding love online. Build a great profile. Writing a good profile isnt as hard as
you might imagine.

First, choose the right photo: that means
choosing a picture thats flattering, but not obviously unrealistic or provocative
if youre looking for a husband here, ladies, then your profile pic should not be 90% cleavage. Its also never a bad idea to upload 1 or
2 photos of you with other good-looking guys friends, exes, etc this subtly conveys
the message that youre desirable and wanted by men, and subconsciously makes you more
attractive in the eyes of any guys looking at your profile. As for the actual profile itself, dont
overthink things. Its OK to leave out certain details that
arent so flattering, or to be a bit vague (especially when it comes to personal details),
but dont outright lie in your profile writeup.

All that does is lead to awkward, disappointing
first dates. Keep it brief, highlight a few of your more
attractive qualities without bragging, and try to mix in a joke or amusing anecdote. Write properly, too Ive had several of my coaching clients
complain about their lack of online dating success, only to discover their profile looks
like it was written by a 5-year-old. Instead of making that mistake, just use proper
spelling and real sentences, OK? 3.) Dont automatically delete all the random
messages you receive on dating sites.

Yes, I know it can be overwhelming to have
25 new messages arrive each day, especially if most of them are absolute garbage. Scan your inbox for messages that look even
remotely like a possibility, and read the message and view the guys profile before
you trash it. If youd be a great catch for any man -- and
Im sure you would be! -- Then youre bound to receive messages from normal, quality
men every now and then. 4.) Put in some effort.

I know I said that online dating takes almost
no effort on your part, but thats not the best way to use dating websites in fact,
youll have the most success if you browse through profiles and reach out to any guys
that spark your interest. Dont forget that online dating is totally
different for guys, so unless a guy looks like Ryan Reynolds, his inbox is going to
be empty. By taking the initiative and reaching out
to all the guys who meet your criteria, youre almost guaranteed to get responses from most
of the guys you contact. Dont be picky when it comes to who you
contact, especially at first.

But, that said, do be careful any time you
see a profile that looks too good to be true I hate to break it to you ladies, but its
unlikely that someone with a fitness magazine physique claiming to be a brain surgeon and
philanthropist is really who he says he is. Dont bother with any guys whose profiles
look fishy or too perfect. 5.) Exchange a few messages before you agree to
meet in person. Dont have a 6-month pen pal relationship
with a guy before your first date, because research has shown that too much talk before
meeting a man is actually a bad thing.

But you do want to get some basic info about
the guy -- can he read and write like an adult? Does he have a job? A sense of humour? Is he looking for a casual fling or
a serious relationship? After you get a sense of that basic stuff,
if youre still interested, call him and ask to meet for coffee. The sooner you meet him in person, the sooner
youll be able to decide if hes a waste of time or a worthy of another date. 6.) Be smart when planning the first in-person
meeting. First of all, always insist on having your
first date with a guy you meet online in a public setting.

Meet for coffee at Starbucks, a bar after
work, go bowling, etc. This is a no-brainer for your own safety. Secondly, you want to make sure you have an
easy, believable escape plan in case the date is a disaster. Meeting for coffee, for instance, doesnt
require you to commit to spending a couple of hours with this guy, like going to a movie
would.

If things are going well, you can turn a coffee
date into a dinner date, but you can also bail after 20 minutes and it wont be weird. Another excellent way to do this is to ask
a friend to call you 10 or 15 minutes into the date, so that if you need a way out, you
can pretend its your boss on the phone and use that as an excuse to bail early. Or, if things are going well, you can just
ignore the call completely. Now, to be perfectly honest, a lot of women
can get to this point on their own...

Much of the stuff Ive just talked about is hardly
rocket science. But when it comes to the second date, or turning
a casual fling into a real relationship, thats where things go sour for a ton of women
even really beautiful, successful women often struggle to get men to commit or keeping guys
from losing interest. Please visit my website, CoachNorth.Com, to

and talk to men. I share a few sneaky tips for making sure
you keep your man interested, and avoid unknowingly doing something to push him away.
