(1) Your profile photo makes you look like a mass murderer.
Remember that year that you lived in Seattle and grew out an impressive mountain man beard and posed for photos with every piece of taxidermy you came across? Well, let's just say that one of those classic pics should not be your online profile photo.
(2) You think it's funny to answer every profile question with "cucumber."
Sure, you're probably the most hilarious guy within your group of friends. And to you, the answer "cucumber" is a real knee slapper. But most likely, the women browsing through profiles are not going to find the same humor in it as you do.
(3) You list your "hero" as Homer Simpson and "favorite food" as Hungry-Man frozen dinners.
Again, you think you're being a jokester, but the truth is that a woman's never going to get past your profile to get to know the real you - a lovable and light-hearted guy who finds humor in the small things in life.
(4) You're too honest.
The economy's tough. Maybe you lost your job as a stockbroker and had to move in with Mom and Dad. That doesn't necessarily mean you should post it on your online dating profile.
Don't make it sound like you're a complete loser when the reality is that you have an MBA from an Ivy League school and just need to get back on your feet.
(5) Your vices.
Most online dating site profiles ask you to list if you drink (and if so, how much?) and smoke. If you answer that you're a functional alcoholic who smokes five packs of cigarettes each day, chances are, that's going to scare off a lot of women. Not all, but a lot. Be conscious of how your vices sound to other people.
Guys, if you find yourself day after day with an empty inbox, then it's quite possible something on your profile is throwing up red flags to potential suitors. If you're unsure what they are, ask your sister, a friend who's a girl or a cousin to look it over and offer some advice.
