From a woman's perspective- PLEASE no nude or semi-nude selfies in front of the bathroom mirror.

And no photos with your ex or another date obviously cropped out. If a photo shows you with a woman, please identify her as your sister, so we know she's not your ex.

Have someone check your spelling and grammar if that's not your strong suit. Share some of your interests. Please, something more enlightening than "walks on the beach". If you're into off-roading in the desert, say so. If you're into classic rock, say so.

Both would be a negative check in my book, not because there's anything wrong with them, which there isn't, but because they tell me we have some incompatibilities. I'm probably not going to want to spend all my weekends out in the desert drinking beer with your motorcycle buddies - fun scene but just not mine - and if someone my age is still hung up on the music of our youth, it tells me their mind isn't flexible enough to enjoy music made after the 70's. Again, nothing wrong with that, but music from all ages is a big part of my life and it's disappointing when someone can't share at least some of that with me.

I think the more you include your genuine interests, the more vibrant a person you appear, AND the better matches you will get. You'll get the girl who LOVES camping out in the desert with the motorheads, and not accidentally wind up with me. Similarly, if someone loves boating and spends most weekends fishing and partying on their boat - that's great, but I have terrible incapacitating motion sickness and cannot go on boats so I would be a lousy partner for them. Similarly, someone retired who is looking for a traveling companion for frequent travel, would not be happy with me who is still working and can only take limited time off.

Also - in today's era - you might as well be honest about your political leanings. I know this will be an unpopular statement here, but I'm definitely 100% not compatible with people of a certain political persuasion right now, and it would save us both a lot of time and trouble if a guy's post stated something that let me know which side of that divide they fell on. Even a hint is enough.
