To be universally liked is to be relatively ignored.

Text is, in some ways, on the way out, unfortunately. There are dating sites now that are just pictures.

People tend to prefer their own race online in terms of the volume of messages.

You take a picture of yourself in some exceptional situation - skydiving or whatever. People always post those photos because it works - you're saying something about yourself that begs a conversation and that's what the users are there for.

Use correct grammar and punctuation. Do not use net speak, like WOT, W-O-T or U. Those messages get a lot lower reply rate.

Women are much more discriminating. I think both types of people are equally interested in having an attractive partner. But women essentially give the thumbs up to only half as many guys as guys giving the thumbs up to women.

Because the way love works in general, you don't need everybody to like you somewhat - you need one person to like you a lot.
