When signing up to an online dating site, men are sure to know exactly what they are looking for in a woman.<\/p>\n

They will have an idea of how old their ideal partner will be, roughly what she will look like, where she will live and what her personal circumstances – such as whether she has children or not – are like.<\/p>\n

But perhaps the more beneficial plan is to gain a better understanding of what women are likely to be searching for in them, as this will give males an improved chance of being able to tick more boxes.<\/p>\n

So what should men do to give them the best possible chance of success on online dating sites?<\/p>\n

The first thing to note is that women will be looking for you to sell yourself. This is not the time to be modest or shy, instead go for it and do not be afraid to reveal exactly what you have to offer a date.<\/p>\n

Ask Men has previously published a guide to this matter and it said that too many dating profiles are full of cliches such as people claiming to love walking on the beach or going to the movies, when really they should be detailing what they did last week or exactly what book they are in the middle of reading.<\/p>\n

It also goes without saying that honesty is a must, so men should always tell the truth. Everyone should resist the urge to knock a few pounds off their weight or add a figure or two to their salary.<\/p>\n

Women also do not want men to wait for them to send the first message, so take the initiative by getting in touch with someone you like the look of and strike up an interesting conversation.<\/p>\n

Online dating is about finding what you are looking for, but also making sure you appeal to members of the opposite sex so that you are able to secure dates.\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801673627-ADNFCR\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
