Sitcomgirl, a thirty-something woman, suggests a few hints for men:

I haven’t discussed my eharmony subscription much. Mostly because there isn’t a whole lot to mention. I keep getting matched up with primarily unattractive (to me) men.
I’d like to suggest a few hints:

1. don’t include pics of kids in your profile, unless they are yours. It does not make me get warm and mushy and think you are a nice guy.
2. If you say you’ve lost 50 lbs in the past year, or had lasik, or gotten hair plugs, don’t post pics that are from before that time frame. I can’t imagine what you look like 50 lbs thinner, with hair, or without those cokebottle glasses. Yes, I am superficial, but then so are you.
3. If you are super hot (and there are precisely 5 of the over 200 guys I’ve been matched with that were)don’t get on eharmony if you are dating other women.
4. EHarmony has a process, a series of 4 steps if you will. Do not on the 3rd one tell me I seem to be exactly the kind of woman you are looking for, and do I want to bypass these steps and talk to you on the phone and when I say there’s only one step left decide to close the match because I didn’t jump at the opportunity to hear your voice. I like to take things somewhat slow (unless you are one of the aforementioned 5 hot men), respect that.
5. Do not have include in your first email poems or jokes about penises (penii?). Also, do not address me as sweetie, honey, darling or any other term of endearment in that first email.

So yeah, that’s the pool of what I have been getting for the past 2 months. Right now there is one guy who seems to be pretty cool, but he’s allergic to animals and refuses to take allergy meds, this may pose a problem with my cats.
