Dating apps and how to use them to your advantage.

As a woman just stepping into the dating scene, I know freestyling and going out to Upscale restaurants and hotel bars can be nerve-racking. Many women prefer to start using dating apps and sugar baby sites to find potential sugar daddies and provider-type men for a possible long-term relationship. But as some of you are aware, these sites are now over-saturated with time wasters and men Interested in going 50/50 or simply not even capable of taking a woman out on a decent dinner date. Here are a few tips I have gathered that worked for me while using dating apps in the past.

#1 Your profile setup. Men are visual creatures. Your look and body catch their attention before personality and anything else. Your profile should be eye-catching and irresistible. I suggest you stop using selfies as your photos for your profile. Try to Upload Full body photos. We all take pictures when we go out to dinner with friends and when we travel for vacation to post on Instagram. Use those same photos when creating a dating app profile. I had a guy tell me once that when he sees a woman with a selfie showing only her face on a dating app, he immediately assumes she's on the bigger side and won't bother swiping right for her. Use photos that make you look your best, and have your designer bags in the images too. This will help keep the cheap men away.

#2 Communication. When I was using dating apps, one thing I didn't care for was chatting with a potential guy for more than a week, and he didn't show me any interest in meeting in person. Texting can be exhausting, especially through an app, so the quicker you get him to make a reservation, the less time you waste talking to a man who is probably not the guy you are looking for. To get them to make a reservation somewhere to have dinner, I would usually wait a few days after they reached out before responding and saying something along the lines of

"Hey, how are you? Sorry for the late response. Communicating on this app is difficult, and meeting in person is better. I'm free on these days and this time. If any of those work for you, how about we grab dinner ?"

#3 Speaking up!.... Men love a confident woman, and closed mouth don't get fed. I'm not saying show up on the first date and ask him to buy you a chance bag, but you can let him know that you are looking for a provider man who is generous, kind, and loves to take care of his significant other and family members. You want to avoid going on 5 to 6 dates before finding out the guy you've been seeing is a cheap man. By letting him know that you are looking for a provider and generous man, he will only invite you on a second date if the statement doesn't offend him. If he was offended, chances are you won't get a second date which is just fine because you can spend more time looking for the guy who wants to cater to you and spoil you. Will do a blog post on how to tell when a man is generous soon.
