If you are a man, the following tips will give you an advantage over other members:

• Do not allow yourself to become discouraged. Considering that women receive from 50 to 200 responses on average, she simply does not have the time to respond to all and if she does, it will take time for you to hear back to your inquiry. Therefore, be patient with the process.
• Take a proactive approach with online dating. Rather than focus in on one woman, send messages to several women to help increase your chances of getting a response. While you want to keep your eyes on women that match your interest the best, be careful not to be overly selective.
• Try to create a unique profile and when you send messages, make them stand out from the other hundreds the woman will receive. Start with a catchy title and then in the content of the message, talk about something you read in her profile. This will show her that you did indeed read her profile and that you took the time to find and make a connection.
• Always be honest. If a woman asks you a question such as, "So, what do you do for a living?" You could answer that you were a doctor or lawyer when in fact, you are a maintenance worker but in time, the truth will come out. Therefore, answer honestly but make it interesting.
• Do not talk about sex (unless on the right website) or things that are too personal. This kind of conversation should be left to people that have known each other for some time and are an actual couple. Sex should never be a part of casual conversation, especially when you first meet.
