For the past year, my weight loss has been focused on diet rather than exercise. Because I thought that would be enough to reach my desired weight goal. I avoided all high-calorie staples and ate vegetables and fruit. But I still didn't get the results I wanted.
I did this for a few months. Until I realized that the way to get my body to where I wanted it to be. The only way to do that was to incorporate exercise into my healthy living plan. Now I'm doing both. After a few months, I feel stronger and I'm at a weight I can live with.
If you're not getting the results you want in online BBW dating. It may not be bad luck or bad timing. It could also be a bad strategy. But it's actually good news because it means you can do something about it. Maybe you're working hard, but not smart. It's like my diet plan. You just need to make a few small tweaks to make it work. Today, we're going to share the reasons why online dating might not be working for you… and how you can fix it.
You've chosen the wrong dating site
A big reason why online dating doesn't work for some people is that they are on the wrong dating site. Maybe the target audience is too young or too old, or maybe the features don't meet their needs. Maybe the site is still new and hasn't built up a sufficient membership base. Many factors can make a dating site unsuitable for your needs.
You need to take some time to research what an online dating site has to offer. This way you can be sure you are on the right site. Read online dating reviews written by experts as well as other singles. Most dating apps for free also offer free trials and/or memberships. So you can test the waters before you jump in.
You didn't add any photos/upload the wrong ones
More likely. You wouldn't book a hotel, buy a house or adopt a pet without seeing a photo. This shouldn't make any difference to online dating either. Photos are important. If you don't add any photos of yourself. You shouldn't expect people to give you the time of day on a dating site. It looks like you're a robot, a liar. Or someone who has things to hide.
Every dating site allows you to upload many photos. So here's what we recommend. You should upload at least a headshot, a full-body shot, and an action shot.
You're not searching for a match by yourself
Online dating is great because you can fill in your profile. Then let the site do the work for you, but you shouldn't have to rely on it all the time. Browse through your matches, as well as review the advice dating sites give you. Take things into your own hands.
Make use of the site's search filters too. From height to appearance to education to postcode to interests. Spend about half an hour a day looking for a date. This will help improve your chances of meeting that special someone.
You didn't initiate contact
I admit I'm not the biggest fan of sending the first message. It can be intimidating. But sometimes you have to, especially if you're making an effort to get to know someone on a website or app. While some people think men should initiate, some people think women should. But I think both should.
A good way to ease the messaging is to start by using the flirting features on dating sites. Such as virtual winking, liking, favorites lists, photo requests, and live chat.
Let's say you see someone you like. You can start by sending them a wink and adding them to your favorites list. If they don't flirt back or say anything to you. Then you can like one of their photos. If they also like your photo or interact with you in some way. Then you can send a quick chat asking how their day is going. Once you have a conversation, you can take things to the messaging section of the website. This way you can communicate in more depth.
