Great tips, Faye. I think the best advice for men or women is to put your best foot forward online, without misrepresenting yourself, but also showing a little pride in your appearance and life. I listed a few tips for men based on my experiences. Here are some of my thoughts on women's photos and profiles.

1. What I said before about guys in bars goes for girls as well. Do I really need to see seven photos of you surrounded by your friends grinning away raising beer glasses? One is enough. Too many of these just says you are a barfly. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I see way, way too many pics like this on Match, and they aren't flattering.

2. If you are 23 or younger, the high-contrast webcam pout photo might be cute, but looks absolutely ridiculous on a grown up. Find a friend with a good camera or learn how to use the self-timer on the one you have. You'd be surprised how good photos can look when you turn off the flash and use ambient lighting.

3. Bikini or lingerie shots are not hot. You might as well wear a sign that says "Attention wanted, even from online psychos!". And for the love of all that is good, don't wear a belly shirt or low cut jeans unless you've got the goods for it.

4. Perhaps it is just me, but I'm wary of women who put "No Way" for smoking, yet allow more leeway in their male of choice. Most non-smokers strongly prefer the same, in my experience, so I tend to think these women are either lying about their smoking or desperate.

5. Women love sexuality as much as men, but the reality of online dating is that any woman who mentions sex in her profile will be dismissed as a fake, desperate, and for the same reason as #3, a magnet for every psycho on the website.
