Act Like a Gentleman in Emails!


Gentlemen, gentleman, where are you manners?

Female clients send me copies of emails men on the Internet sites have sent them that make me blush. It's certainly not the way a gentleman would talk to a lady in person. They amount to the equivalent of an obscene phone call.

There's always been a problem with the Internet, in that some people tend to act differently hiding behind its anonymity.

Do I need to make a list of "don'ts"? Body parts, intimate acts, any locker room talk ... these belong in the locker room, not in an email to someone you are hoping to date.

And guys, it isn't really a turn-on to women to see your bare chest or to see weapons. Yes, I've seen men's profiles on dating sites where they are holding a bow an arrow, or rifle. and even one that was a closeup where the guy was holding two pistols pointed more or less at you. What was he thinking?

There are way too many photos where the guy just went into the bathroom, bare-chested, and photographed himself in the mirror. This is not attractive. A BATHROOM is not the place for a photograph, clothes are needed, there's always a flash reflection in the mirror and the angle is always off ... it just doesn't work.

Guys, be classy.

Get some coaching if you are in doubt, or if your profile and emails don't seem to be working. It can be a matter of a new and appropriate current photo, a turn of phrase, or eliminating a hobby you do alone that isn't alluring. You want to present yourself in the best light, and that means mind your manners! email me at sdunn@susandunn.cc . I'm here to help you find the partner of your dreams.
