Overselling Yourself

Online dating is a bit like online shopping...for people. We scroll through person after person, reading their product description. When you have an online dating profile, you're selling yourself. Of course, you want to entice the buyer! Similarly, if you take the leap to send the first email, sometimes some of this "sales" information will be included, as well. But, in this case, I think this 29-year old guy from NJ went a bit overboard. I'll let you be the judge.

"Hey I am (name removed) and I am 29 from tinton falls area NJ Is there any chance you
are looking for a guy who would make it his mission to always keep you happy and
smiling,not start stupid arguments, not just try and get sex all the time like most
guys on here who will work out for you and also open doors for you and who wouldn't
call you excessively or stop you from going out with your girlfiends?

I am willing to be as perfect a boyfriend for you as I
can be I didn't copy and paste this to anyone else so please
appreciate that.

So anyways please send a message back if you are ready to be happy in life."

Takeaway lesson: Try to sell yourself in a genuine and modest way.
