Loooking for love online has become the norm these days. The long lost art of actually getting off the couch and getting all dressed up and looking for "the one" in person has seemed to disappear like the almost forgotten TELEPHONE! Remeber the days when you actually CALLED someone and TALKED to them? Sigh.
With profiles online on dating sites and social network pages, the only way we "get to know" someone is by seeing a bunch of words on screen and let us not forget the all to familiar PROFILE PIC. Fist impressions whether on a screen or in the flesh still holds the same rule: YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE SO MAKE IT A GOOD ONE!
Here are our DO’s and DONT’s when it comes to showing off YOU!
1. ANIMAL LOVERS- nobody loves your animals more than you do. KEEP IT THAT WAY! No one says you can’t have pets, just no one needs to see you making out with your kitty or dressing your pooch up in cute outfits like it’s about to walk the runway. Keep pet pics seperate for the love of all that is furry!
2. IT’S FIVE-O’CLOCK SOMEWHERE RIGHT?- love booze? No problem but it’s not sexy to take pics with cocktails, beer cans, or shot glasses hanging from your mouth. Do you REALLY want to let the opposite sex think you’re a lush?! No drinks in pics!!
3. SMOKE ‘EM IF YA GOT ‘EM- Cigarettes are so passe and vaping sorry isn’t as cool as you think it is. Midnight toker? No one wants to see pics of you puff, puff, passing in any capacity. COUGH COUGH WHEEZE.
4. DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE!- JUST STOP WITH THE DUCK FACE SELFIES!!! No one thinks your hot AT ALL! It’s not cute and you look rediculous! Leave the BLUE STEEL to ZOOLANDER please.
5. COVER UP- this goes out to the guys! FOR THE SAKE OF ALL WOMEN no one needs tickets to the "Gun Show" we get it you have muscles, you work out. We don’t need to see you flexing them in a locker room mirror or your manscaping bathroom at home in a towel. A nice suit turns us on! Can you say Mr. Grey? HELLO?!
6. EX DOES NOT MARK THE SPOT- EX-cuse me but why do you still have pics up of you and your EX?! Do you think that’s going to get you a new mate? No one wants to see that! Out with the old in with the YOU!
Simple tasteful full body or three quarter shots of you and ONLY you is all you need to find love. After all, the person is falling in love with you not anything else right?! DestinandRachel.comcan help you create a new or fix up an old online profile. Just drop us a line for pricing and a consult!

You think you know, but really you don’t. No, it’s not just because you’re picky, or that online dating doesn’t work, or because you’re not the right body type. Nope… none of those things. And hey, you’re not high maintence, right? You look banging in that outfit, right? You’re online profile is perfect, right? It’s time to grab a mirror and REALLY look at yourself… and see the TRUTH behind why you’re still single.
No one loves the sound of your own voice more than you. Try shutting your trap and stop being so opionionaited. Thoughts and beliefs are great when appropriate, but when you make something all about you, that’s ONE BIG TURN OFF!Complain, complain, COMPLAIN! While on the subject of putting a cork in it, no one wants to hear you vocalize your innner bitchyness. Leave the whinning to the five year olds, please. Profile Image- exposing "the girls" in that itty bitty bikini while holding a cocktail and smoking a cigarette, is not going to help you find Prince Charming. And guys, taking that selfie in the bathroom mirror in nothing but a towel to show off that so-called six pack, is not going to get you a wife! (Stay tuned for next week’s blog on the do’s and don’ts of profile pics!)Hood Rat, Hood Rat, Hoochie Mama- dress to impress, YES! Dressing like you’re going to be sliding up and down on a pole- NO! On the other end of the spectrum – yoga pants, Man Buns, muscle tees, flip flops, or sweaters with kittens on them, ain’t going to fly either! Find the balance of classy meets sexy, not trashy meets messy.Where you at?- hitting the nightclub is just a Meat Market Sex Buffet. Nope, no love here. Think objectivley about where you’re going and what you want from it. Don’t be an idiot!
Sometimes you need to fall further down the rabbit hole to see what’s REALLY going on. Once you peel back the layers and follow our guidelines, you will notice a HUGE change in the type of guy or girl you meet. This is just the tip of the iceberg!

You’ve found the man of your dreams. He’s perfect in every way. Things are going great. But wait, something just doesn’t seem right. You can’t put your finger on it. Your friends and family haven’t a clue what you’re talking about, but you know… you know – it’s time to investigate those little… or HUGE red flags.
Girlfriends, if you fear he’s cheating on you, he probably is…
Here are some things to look out for:
1. The Traveling Man- does your fellow travel for business? Does he come home with perfectly washed and pressed clothing after a quick weekend away? Most men arrive with nothing but more laundry for his doting girl to do. Cleaned and pressed clothes returning from a business trip COULD be the result of getting rid of the evidence!
2. Secret Password- ever want to borrow your man’s laptop or tablet and he just won’t let you for no good reason? His search history is always clear, his email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram are always locked and blocked. He may be hiding something… or SOMEONE!
3. Likes/Dislikes- sudden changes in his taste of food? Loved going with you to the beach, but now doesn’t? Suddenly, he’s listening to a band that is ten years younger than he would normally listen to? Is he using slang that only someone younger would use? Sound the alarm- he’s absorbing what SHE likes!
4. Sharp Dressed Man- since when did his appearance really matter to him? Now suddenly he’s stepped out of GQ MAGAZINE and he’s shaving on certain days. He’s dressed to impress when he’s not with you and looks like a shlub when he is. In the animal kingdom we call that ‘presenting’. He’s got his plumes looking prefect for that new hen.
5. Bling Bling- since when did your man change his cologne? He was always an Aqua Di Gio kind of guy and now he’s bathing in Kenneth Cole!? And skinny jeans? Wait, what happend to those old, baggy pants he’s had since high school? How about the trendy watch he just happend to "find" or the necklace he "got as a gift?" Yeah, I don’t think so, buddy.
Time to start opening your eyes ladies! You can chalk this up to paranioa, but let’s face it, paranioa is your Women’s Intuition telling you what’s up. Don’t get played by a player! Time to call him OUT!
