The 12 Types of Guys You Will Meet Online

As we all know, online dating can be a minefield.  More than often it get's confusing, messy and ends up being more of a chore than pleasure.  Here is a guide to all the single ladies out there trying to give it their best shot!!

The Addict

He lives online.  Online dating is a real job to him, he's either recently divorced or eternally single.  He has so many different dating profiles he's like a kid in a candy store.

The Desperado

He's woken up and hit the big 4-0 or realised that he is the last one out of his friends still single.  He is ready to commit whole heartdly to a steady relationship... the problem is he doesn't care who he commits too. 

The Professional 

His photos are all professionally styled with a hazy, mysterious glow to them.  His profile literally reads like a CV and he is about as much fun as door mat.  Again, online dating is a full time job. 

The Comedian 

"My friends tell me I'm really funny"....... "I just want to make you laugh"....... "I'm a bit of a joker"

LOL

No. 

The Long Distancer 

"Wow we have so much in common!! I would love to see you.  I live in Alaska but I come to Australia once every 2 years."

Next. 

The Fast Mover 

AKA the sex pest.  This guy isn't interested enough to read profiles.  Instead he will just drop sly sexual innuendos into conversations and hope for the best.  If your not playing along within the first 15mins... he's out. 
Is looking to meet.... Anyone with a pulse. 

The Blatant Liar 

He is 6 inches shorted and 6 inches wider.  He does not make 100k a year (although anyone who did would not be telling you on their profile) and he did not just get back from a trip in the Maldives.  This man is all talk.  Fortunately the blatant liar never actually wants to meet you. So fear not ladies, you will not be let down when you go to meet your Channing Tatum who turns out to be Ned from Kmart. 

The Houdini 

"I feel like we have such a strong connection!"  The intense messages, that ooze the poetic language of a modern day Shakespeare.  But then he logs off in 4 months and is never to be heard from again. 

The Doting Father/Godfather/Uncle 

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against a man who loves his children... But online dating is not the place for photos upon photos upon photos children and dogs and landscapes and that cute little turtle he found at the beach last week. 

The Wanker 

"If you don't have a dream, then how will you ever achieve your goal?"..... "Live, life, love"..... "One door shuts and another opens"..... "You'll never know what your looking for until you take that leap of faith and start searching"......... 

NO THANK YOU 

The Reluctant Romancer 

He is never on online dating sites.  He thinks it's all rubish.  His friends just convinced him to give it a go.  But he thinks is all just a joke.  And he can't believe how a beautiful girl like you needs a site like this. 

The Normal Bloke 

Despite the above list... Ladies they do exist!
