Women _do not_ know that. In a sample of a couple dozen profiles, there are all sorts of deal-breakers, including selfies. “Men like me”? I am a viewer of dc-area older women’s dating profiles. |

| What's up with all of the older men wanting friends online? Are their social skills so inept that you cannot meet a simple female friend, or is it that you want dutch dating with a side of noncommitment sex? |

NP here. Can you list some of these deal-breakers? I don't have a profile on any dating site yet, but I'd like to avoid deal-breakers. "Older women" is how old in your view? |

I started looking at 40-year-olds a few years ago, now 50-60. 1. Selfies. Unflattering. 2. Professional poses photos, like for work 3. Rolling out of bed and frowning into the webcam. WTF? 4. Weight. Being 50 is one thing. We’re all soft. But also looking like a really fat American who doesn’t care ... 5. Hair. Maybe you’re a grandmother, but do you have to beat that into people? Also, lopping off your hair. It makes you look older and less feminine. Why do women trying to date do that? Judi Densch never looked hot. 6. Very detailed profiles listing your love of crystal worshipping, mystic communion with shrubbery, etc. Off-putting. 7. Interest in a 3-way with Jesus. I don’t want to talk about Jesus. 8. Anger. I didn’t send you a dick pic. Treat strangers politely. 9. Looking for the One. That’s not me. I’m not more wonderful than the most wonderful man you’ve ever met. 10. Explicit requirement for $400K per year danger-seeking yachtsman. Good luck. |

I am an older women in my 50s and selfies are fine as long as you look good. In on line dating a picture really is worth a thousand words. I get hundreds of likes and super likes on Tinder from 25-55+ whenever I let people see my pics and I state my real age, men don’t care. I also say nothing in the descriptions. Doesn’t make any difference. If you are female, don’t worry about being older. Just post good pictures. |

"Small fish photos"? |

| What's wrong with colored dress shirts? |

Are we talking solid? Striped? Dark? Light? |

Mostly, the dark ones. The oranges, burgundies, royal blue, reds, browns. They are usually paired with ties that are seriously out of style. |

And, please wear an undershirt under your dress shirt. If dress attire is not something that you wear often, there is no need to post a photo of you in a suit. Be yourself, we appreciate it. |

The small fish photo is a play on the guys that post photos with very large fish. It is a tired attempt to be funny. We get the reference and there is no need to be funny in this manner. |

| Undershirt, no dark shirt, no small fish. Anything else: F150 vs. Tundra, AT&T or Verizon? |

You want to know why these guys write that ridiculous nonsense? Because it works they are echoing the nonsense they think they hear women say they like. People are generally full of crap. |

They don't want a "friend", they want no-strings-attached sex, but they think if they say that women will be turned off. |
