 <\/p>\n

Having worked with online daters for close to fifteen years, I am all too aware\u00a0that there are a whole lot of creepy and low quality\u00a0men populating\u00a0dating sites.\u00a0 On behalf of the male gender, I deeply apologize!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The good news is, once you learn how to spot online dating profile red flags, you’ll be able to drastically reduce your odds\u00a0of winding up on a date that you regret agreeing to.\u00a0 Today I’m going to discuss 15 of the most common red flags\u00a0to be on the lookout for.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Men who\u00a0appear too eager<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"romeo\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let’s be real… When Leonardo DiCaprio acts overeager as Romeo, it’s cute because he’s Leonardo DiCaprio!\u00a0 If a man online was to demonstrate the same overly romantic behaviors and declare love at first site, it would be downright creepy, as well as scary!\u00a0 Be wary of any profiles that express intense desires for a relationship or over the top romantic aspirations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If a man is coming on this strong in his profile, just think about how intensely those qualities will be magnified during the courting process or over the course of a relationship.\u00a0 \u00a0Oftentimes the men who appear too eager in the dating profile are also the same men\u00a0who\u00a0become stalkerish or completely overbearing after meeting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 He\u00a0shows signs of\u00a0baggage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"having<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Avoid men who negatively reference prior events from their life or bring up reasons for previous relationships not working out.\u00a0 This is a strong indication that they\u00a0are carrying baggage, bitterness, or regrets.\u00a0 If a man can’t even keep\u00a0baggage out of a profile, he’s certainly not going to keep it out of a relationship moving forward.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 His\u00a0profile lacks confidence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"beta<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We all have insecurities.\u00a0 This is completely natural.\u00a0 At the same time, there is a time and place for those insecurities.\u00a0 If you get the feel from a man’s profile that he is lacking confidence or is completely down on himself,\u00a0this may be an indication\u00a0that he has much larger issues.\u00a0\u00a0A quality man’s profile should have the vibe that he is happy, secure, and knows he is someone worth getting to know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 His profile gives off negative energy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"lydia<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Avoid any men that project negative energy from their profile.\u00a0 Common offenders are men who create lists of what they don’t want in a partner, negatively referring to prior relationships, expressing a lack of\u00a0desire\u00a0to try online dating, or\u00a0showing hostility towards certain demographics (political, religious, etc.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

People that live happy\u00a0and well-rounded\u00a0lives don’t feel a need to express negativity in a dating profile.\u00a0 These are the types of men you should be focusing your efforts on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 You have one or more “questionable photos.”<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Any photo that makes you question who you are talking to is a major red flag.\u00a0 Sometimes it’s one picture that looks nothing like the previous five pictures.\u00a0 Other times it’s\u00a0a photo that makes him appear much older than the rest of\u00a0his photos .\u00a0 Or it could\u00a0be a picture that causes you to question his character.\u00a0 Whatever the case me be, if your instinct is telling you something is off, trust that instinct.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 He uses words that\u00a0reveal a narrow mindset\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"online<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Avoid profiles that are populated with the words\u00a0can’t, won’t, shouldn’t, couldn’t, wouldn’t and don’t.\u00a0 Who would ever want to be in a relationship with that type of person?\u00a0 An open mindset and willingness to try new things is part of what makes life so much fun!\u00a0 Leave these types guys where they belong – alone on their couch searching for other close-minded people!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 He seems a little too good to be true<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"superman\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Any profile that is TOO perfect is a profile you should be wary of.\u00a0 If your potential date has model looks, has served in the Peace Corps, runs a multi-million dollar business, fosters children, and is a part time firefighter, you may want to start questioning his profile.\u00a0 If a\u00a0profile sounds a little too good to be true,\u00a0it probably is!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 He\u00a0doesn’t seem ready for a\u00a0<\/strong>commitment<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"john<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Avoid trying to\u00a0tame men who clearly\u00a0aren’t ready to settle down.\u00a0 Just look at John Stamos above.\u00a0 I couldn’t fault you if you wanted a fling with a man like this.\u00a0 But women have been trying to tame him since the 80’s and how well has that worked out?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some men will outright say they aren’t looking for anything serious online, others will just give off a playboy vibe.\u00a0 Regardless of the category, if you\u00a0are seeking a relationship then stick\u00a0to men whose profiles seem to be taking the process seriously.\u00a0 There\u00a0are enough serial daters online.\u00a0 You don’t need to be another notch on their belt.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 He is giving off the “I need a mom” vibes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"mom<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If his profile his filled with phrases such as, “I need a woman who is…” or tries to put women into gender roles that\u00a0cater towards making his life easier\u00a0(cooking, cleaning, etc.) then\u00a0this is a man you need to avoid.\u00a0 You are looking for a partner, not a child.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Men who appear\u00a0immature or write at an age\u00a0inappropriate\u00a0level also belong in this category.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 His\u00a0profile feels disingenuous<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"man<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A profile should have a genuine and natural feel to it.\u00a0 It shouldn’t feel as if it was created in an online dating lab, designed to hit every mark and checkbox of what a man thinks a woman wants to hear.\u00a0\u00a0If you don’t get an authentic feel when you read his profile, you might be dealing with someone who is inauthentic in person as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 His\u00a0profile has\u00a0sexual and overly flirtatious undertones<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"austin<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m no prude and probably the most open-minded man you’ll ever meet, but the online dating profile is not the place for sexual references or aggressive innuendos.\u00a0 Even men who express how much they love deep kissing (something I’ve seen more times than I could count), or love PDA, often turn out to be creepy and off-putting in person.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

13.\u00a0 He\u00a0posts 3 pictures or less<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"posting<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a day an age where just about\u00a0every person walking this earth has a smart phone, there is no excuse for having 3 pictures or less.\u00a0 This is either an indication that the man is hiding something, or that the pictures he is posting will not line up to the man you meet in person.\u00a0 \u00a0Men with full and active lives\u00a0should be\u00a0able to come up with at least 4 pictures (at the absolute minimum).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

14.\u00a0 Too much emphasis on financial success<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"rich<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some men define their entire self worth by how much money they make or their career path.\u00a0 In a best case scenario,\u00a0discussing these matters too much in a profile is\u00a0a sign that he is\u00a0slightly insecure and trying to overcompensate through money.\u00a0 In a worst case scenario, he may also be narcissistic, career obsessed, or have the wrong priorities in life.\u00a0 Having wealth is a positive thing, but something that a man\u00a0should be humble about.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

15.\u00a0 His grammar and spelling are poor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"teacher<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This not only reveals a lack of education, but may also be in indication that he is lazy and doesn’t take important matters seriously.\u00a0 Just think, if he is too lazy to put effort into something as important as finding love,\u00a0how much effort is he going to put into a relationship, as well as the things that truly matter one day?<\/p>\n
