Dating is a necessary evil when you desire companionship, children, and not to die alone. Statistically the odds are not in your favor - every relationship but the successful marriage will end.  I think one of the crappiest things about going through a breakup is the subsequent re-entry into the dating world. I honestly hate dating.  However, after giving myself enough time to heal from a recent breakup, I re-signed up for online dating last night.  Here is some feedback that I would provide to any man creating an online dating profile:

• Women generally do not find bathroom mirror selfies attractive. As my friend states, "Nothing says 'I stay home and have no friends' like a bathroom mirror pic."
• Other pictures to avoid: you in front of a sports car (if you need that to seem impressive you are not impressive, at least to me), you with a woman (unless you take the time to note that said woman is your sister), or a multitude of mission pictures (particularly when you are in your late 20s.  I get it. You served a mission.  As this is an LDS dating site, you already specified in your general stats that you served a mission.  Maybe one for good measure since it was a significant part of your life, but no need to post several pictures of you when you were an awkward 19-year-old).
• Old, grainy photographs.  This should be a given. In this day and age, there is simply no excuse.  Most people have a smart phone and if for some reason you are rejecting the smart phone world, you probably have a friend with a smart phone that would be happy to take a photo of you.  
• Avoid screen names that have these types of words: Lonely, Sad, Alone, etc.  
• Actually put more than one line in your entire profile.  Sure, you're attractive, but are you interesting?  Smart?  Do you like to do anything for fun?  Are you actually invested in the dating process?  Doesn't seem like it.  I get that the process of basically writing a sales pitch for yourself is awkward.  However, if you are willing to invest a little bit of time in providing some information about yourself, that tells me that you are willing to invest in the dating process as a whole.  
• Don't "favorite" someone that you haven't even sent a flirt to.  That's creepy, stalkery, and lurky.  (Lurky should be an actual word, I've decided).  

Wish me luck...
