People who would like to search for love via online dating sites have been advised they should avoid some of the most generic statements and activity on the internet.<\/p>\n
Christie Hartman, a Denver-based psychologist, is quoted by 9News as saying many profiles are simply too generic to attract attention.<\/p>\n
"They say 'I love the mountains, like skiing and going to the movies'. They don't give a sense of what they truly love, so they just sound like everybody else," she stated.<\/p>\n
Another important area is the profile picture, so online daters should always ensure they choose a snap in which they are looking their absolute best.<\/p>\n
Ms Hartman went on to suggest that first impressions are incredibly important on online dating sites, so people should not show anything that might put individuals off them.<\/p>\n
It is also wise to avoid revealing details such as being widowed, divorced or a single parent, as these people could be targeted by the wrong users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
