10 Things on a Dating Profile that will TURN OFF Women

Dear Men,

As women, when online dating, it can be really tough to distinguish genuine and authentic men from the ones who are there for the wrong reasons. These days it’s common for our inboxes to be flooded with random pictures of you and your friends, when we can’t even tell which one is you! Another common trend, seeing countless pictures of guys in shirtless selfies, which can really give us the wrong first impression.

They say a first impression lasts forever and in the world of online dating, one only has several seconds to make that impression count before a potential match swipes to the next person. Whether it’s Tinder, Bumble, Match  or even email, knowing how to be your best authentic self online is a skill that must be developed.

However, there’s a lot of falling down before one climbs up which is why I am sharing these 10 huge dating profile mistakes that men commonly make when searching for a match. These mistakes were made by men who were dating online that came before you so that you wouldn’t have to follow in their footsteps. Remember, the Internet is forever.

All the best,

Women of the World

✨ A day late but the love is just as strong! Happy Mother's Day to my beautiful mom! ✨

Couldn’t let today pass without shouting out the woman who’s been my rock through it all. Thanks for always believing in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself.

Your wisdom, your laugh, your incredible strength – you amaze me every day. So blessed to call you Mom.

Love you beyond words! ❤️

Speak Up to Express Your Needs! Ever notice how waiting for “the right time” to express your needs often means they never get addressed? I share my journey of realizing that while we should avoid conversations when emotions are flooding, consistently postponing our needs leads to dangerous resentment. 

Learn the balance between giving space during heightened emotions and still honoring your boundaries through calm, intentional conflict. Discover how speaking up prevents resentment while still respecting emotional states—a critical skill for healthier relationships.

When we truly become still and listen to understand others, something magical happens. By setting aside our mental chatter and focusing completely on what someone else is saying, we create a space of genuine connection.

Active listening isn’t just waiting for your turn to speak. It’s being fully present—noticing not just their words, but their tone, their body language, what remains unsaid. When we listen this deeply to others, we’re actually strengthening our ability to tune into our own inner voice.

Think about it: each time you quiet your mind to truly hear someone else, you’re practicing the very skill needed to hear yourself clearly. The mental stillness required for deep listening becomes a pathway to self-understanding.

Try this today: in your next conversation, take a deep breath and intentionally slow down. Notice when your mind starts forming responses before they’ve finished speaking. Gently return to simply being with their words. This same practice of quieting the noise helps us recognize our own inner wisdom when we need it most.

The gift of your complete attention is precious—both to others and to yourself.
