Excerpt from


How To Write A Successful Online Profile That Gets Responses From The "Right" Men

by Mimi Tanner

 

This class began when I wrote the following column.  That started a response that just keeps coming!  As a result, I have received stories from many women who have had ALL KINDS of experiences with online dating, good and bad. In this Online Dating Lab class, we’ll find out what real women are doing that works in online dating.   Here is the column that started it all:


Online Dating – A Great Way to Get Your Dating Feet Wet Again


Do you ever have to just force yourself to get out there and meet men?

Well, if that's true for you, don't feel alone. There's everything right about taking a break from love at times.

It's healthy to want someone in your life. But there are times when you should take a break - and other times when you should URGE yourself to meet new men.

When? Well, when you find you are losing interest in love. When you are too discouraged for too long. OR - when you really need to get your mind off of one particular man!

Those are all good reasons to get out there and meet men.

Whatever you do, don't fall for the myth that there are no men out there. That is the craziest thing I ever heard - no matter what your age.

First of all, if you are a Flirt at heart - and I think all women have a flirt in them somewhere - then trust me, you don't ever have to worry about a man shortage.

When you get in a Man-Rut of any kind, one suggestion to find your way out of this rut is to visit an online dating service. Just spend a little time on this - as
a way to get your dating feet wet again so you can re-enter the waters.

Why? Because it's something you can do immediately and safely. You can initiate (yes, you heard that right) a friendship with a man with no risk at all - and just doing that alone is very healthy. It wakes up certain parts of you that you may not be in touch with right now.

It's also a great place to brush up your skills with men. I recommend this as a first step to "getting out there" even if you have no plans to take it very seriously. Just
see it as a place to make some new acquaintances.

You also might get some insight on what you may be doing that needs to change. See it as a learning experience - an experiment.

It's a numbers game, like anything else. When you have no personal stake in how many men respond to you; when you take your ego out of it, you can do yourself a lot of good.

When you have multiple men emailing you, then the laid-back woman in you who has almost given up on dating will start to come alive again.

With love,
Mimi Tanner

I received SO many responses to this column - and one of them became the inspiration for this class!

This one really sparked my curiosity:


Dear Mimi,

You are so right. After a 13-year marriage, I didn't date for over a year. To get my feet wet, I joined an online service. I was even was so bold as to post a picture. Boy, the men came in droves!

I was a little overweight and only had a head shot on there. Once I started with the flirting (yes, like riding a bike, it came back to me), I had my initiative to lose weight and become the young 40-something I knew I was deep inside. 

I have had a very active dating life for the past 2 years with 2 somewhat serious relationships and a lot of dates and flirting, and I love every minute of it. When I get into a slump or start to feel down about it, I hop right back on there and boom, many more are available.

And yes, my 2 somewhat serious relationships came from online dating.

I met a few "dogs" on there until I really learned the ins and outs of screening, but most of the men have been honorable, sweet and honest. Good advice to all once again, Mimi.

Daisy

 

Well!! As you can imagine, I just HAD to find out what it was about "Daisy" that made men respond "in droves"!! 

I interviewed Daisy at length, and she has been very gracious in providing an enormous amount of information that demonstrates what it takes to be successful in online dating.  You are sure to discover a wealth of ideas and blueprints for your own online dating profile from what she has to say, when you take the time to read this class carefully!  You’ll definitely want to try out MANY of the exact things Daisy is doing online.
