How To Get Attractive People to Notice You
How it Began:
I had signed up and created my very own personal ad at one of
the many dating sites hoping to find singles from an Indian
background. Answering all the questions and filling up all the
necessary preferences, I began to contact some of the prettier
singles.
Receiving Countless Responses:
To my utter surprise, I was bombarded with responses. At first I
was in seventh heaven and I danced with joy. I began answering
as many as I could and even began selecting the prettiest of the
prettiest. I talked on the phone to a few probables and I soon
had my social diary full for the upcoming two weeks.
Meeting a Fair Lady: On the day of my first date, I
dressed up smart and with a smile from New York to Los Angeles,
I glanced at the picture of the girl I was going too meet. She
was a natural blond with blue eyes that sparkled like a newly
opened bottle of champagne and a smile that could melt a lead
heart.
The moment she saw me her face dropped, and she began to stammer
about how I looked different at the dating site. She drank
coffee with me, but I could see that she wasn't interested, and
though she was even more beautiful than in the pictures, I ended
her misery quickly and allowed her to escape.
Why?
Disappointed but still hopeful, I ignored that initial warning
and comforted myself with the thought that I had another date
the next day. But when that one ended in a somewhat similar
manner - I knew something had gone terribly wrong. So I hurried
to the dating site and checked my image. I was in for a shock.
By mistake, I had posted an image of the bollywood heartthrob,
Shahrukh Khan.
Now I realized why I had received so many answers and had been
able to set up dates with so many beautiful people.
I immediately exchanged the snaps and then called all the women
I was to meet and explained the mishap. They were all very nice,
but I knew that they had agreed to meet me thinking I looked
differently. I asked them to take a look, and then only if they
still wanted to meet - to give me a call. Apologising again, I
stared at the screen and hoped that my picture looked as good as
that actor. But I knew I was not that handsome.
My Lesson for You: Check out your details and the picture
you post by entering a search query as if you were a lady
looking for a man. Now you will be able to look at exactly what
the women will read about you.
Through this painful experience, I learnt that it is better that
people see you as you actually are and then only those
interested in the "real" you will get in touch.
