What genetics didn't give you, hopefully you've picked up the charisma, and bank account to counterbalance mother nature and your anatomically anomalous attributes.

Reason #6 You have the personality of a pet rock

So you thought having a minimalist profile was mysterious? Or did you feel too good for online dating to write something about yourself...

Perhaps your profile is spacious, but what you ARE writing speaks volumes.

Reason #7 You are seeking approval

You should ooze confidence, and yet you are unleashing an approval seeking pseudo-self upon the internet.

Reason #8 You are coming off as creepy

buzzfeed.com

The general package you are presenting is weirding people out... People are shuffling through hundreds of profiles and will dismiss you in an instant based on first impressions.

Reason #9 The messages you are concocting

buzzfeed.com

They are weird, creepy, offensive, desperate... And when you are confronted on their strangeness you become aggressive.

... also the general speed in which you dish out these strange messages. YOU have no chance with the shotgun copypasta approach. This is not duck hunt.

Reason #10 You are hiding something

Everyone is hiding something. But perhaps this something is just too big...

Just be YOURSELF!!!
