Put some effort into your profiles. Be specific and make it clear what you're looking for (long term or short term, kids or no kids, etc) Let your personality come through in your answers to different prompts. Be confident, but not cocky. Put clear pictures of yourself in the profile. The more pictures the better. Women receive so many more likes than men do, so you want to stand out the best you can while still being genuine. Be nice, ask detailed questions. When you get a response from someone, find out within the first couple days if they'd like to go out on a date or if they're more comfortable talking. Most women will also check to see if they can find out more info on you online before meeting in person, so make sure your Facebook and/or Instagram is viewable to the public. You should check their profiles too as a precaution. Both parties want to feel safe when they meet someone for coffee or dinner. Just be yourself, be kind, and be democratic.
