Be the Girl EVERY Guy Wants To Talk To

You know you clicked on this post because you're dying to hear how to be the perfect girl that every guy wants. It's the for the same reason that we all fawn over the next month of COSMO magazine.  While I am a reluctant COSMO fan, I can't help but saying a majority of those articles are full of crap. They write articles with titles that not only demean your self-esteem but draw you in order to fix what they have deemed "wrong with you." This isn't a blogpost to fight the self esteem of single twenty something women, but yet to help you find your very own self esteem.

If there is anything that I have learned since putting myself out there through online dating it is to just be your damn self. Don't lie or smudge the details about your height, hair color, or even your weight no matter how much you want. Don't pretend to like football, baseball or any sport for that matter. Let's face it just because you can google it doesn't mean you should. Because eventually you will decide you like someone enough to meet them, and you won't be the girl that you promised them. There's nothing more depressing than being all excited about the new blossoming relationship just to realize you are sitting across the table from a guy you have nothing in common with. Worst part is you can't find a clever way to google, the last three subjects he's brought up and you're almost done with your dinner. And there goes the only opportunity that you have to hide the awkward silence with a mouth full of food.
I know the feeling that every girl gets when they open up their blank profile. Oh the pressure of picking out the perfect pictures. First instinct, Find EVERY picture you have ever taken where you look like a barbie doll or a beauty queen. That's because this is what every issue of COSMO has taught us since we were in our teens. Guys want the pretty girl, who looks perfect 24/7 and is the epitome of the perfect girlie girl. While being pretty is a great and all... It isn't whats going to draw in real conversations from guys you would actually be interested in. Instead you will end up with an inbox full of catcalls from every creep within a 50 mile radius. Pick the photos that show who you are.
                          Don't be afraid to make this face ->

While I have what I think (which is a totally biased opinion) to be a nice combination of photos on my profiles, I've never been afraid to show who I really am. It's often those photos are the ones that guys mention when they start talking about how I caught their eye. The photo above of me making the rabid gerbil face is often the most commented on picture. That's my man attracting face... and I used to beg to have that picture taken off my friend's Facebook. Then one day I just started to embrace it because in reality that is who I really am, and that's a face that I know I make quite often. And if you can LOVE that face, then we might just get along. Show me the pictures you'd pick for your perfect profile. Are they funny, sassy, crazy? Let's hope so because that's who you really are.

The moral of the story is LOVE WHO YOU ARE AND BE WHO YOU ARE, and you're taking a step in the right direction to creating your perfect profile.
