The Top Ten Mistakes Most Women Make when Trying to Meet Men Online

Yes, women can make mistakes just like men when dating online. Shocker I know! Maybe instead of calling them mistakes we should refer to them as learning moments. That is if we want to place a positive spin on it, but we're being real here.

OK, so here are 10 tips to remember when trying to meet men online. Follow these steps, and you will manage to avoid some of the biggest pitfalls that women face in online dating.

1. Don't be prissy and overbearing in a prissy sort of way. Some guys like the sassy and tomboy types, but enough is enough. If you are naturally a bit of a girly girl, guys will know this even if you try not to be, so just be yourself without advertising this already obvious fact. You'll find that guys like a balance in between being really girly and being a tomboy.

2. If you are rich, don't brag about it. Guys can't be bought, at least not if they are guys worth having. If you happen to be in Vegas then disregard tip #2.

3. If you have an awesome car, don't brag about it. Guys don't care if you do, and it might actually turn them off at first because they don't want to feel outdone. Yes, you will bruise, deflate, and smash our ego if you do this. We will go home, crawl into our bed and promptly enter the fetal position with our thumb in our mouth.

4. If you have an amazing body and know it, don't act like you do. Your size is your size, and if you are a size two, you don't have to act like it because it is already obvious. You can count on the fact that he has noticed.

5. If you have cheated before, don't brag about this. You don't have to advertise it right up front, especially if you have a mind to change your ways.

6. Be honest. Guys don't want a girl who lies, even if she is a size two! If tip #2 applies to you then disregard tip #6 and tell him you drive a Neon.

7. Some guys don't care so much about fashion, so save the Prada talk for your girlfriends. Instead, show it off to him while it is on you. Remember, I said some guys. Test the waters with your man and throw out some designer names and see if he bites.

8. Don't be overly clingy. It can be truly annoying to have someone smother you. Give the man room to breathe. Especially if it's early in the relationship.

9. Don't be disgusting. Personal hygiene is a good thing.

10. Don't scare him off right away with your outrageous political views. Give him a chance to be a nice guy first before unleashing your conspiracy theories on him.
