WORST HEADLINES EVER!

Ok, I got a few questions about headlines this week, and they were all "what do you think of this headline?"

Sadly, the answer was...

WORST HEADLINE EVER...!

So here's a list of the worst and most common headlines out there...

And what she thinks when she reads them!

HEADLINE: “Insert funny headline here.”
SHE THINKS: “Wow, haven’t seen that a dozen times today already.”
This is the banner of any person lacking any creativity whatsoever. Plus, it wasn’t funny years ago when it appeared in the first place.

HEADLINE: “Clever headline #28492”
SHE THINKS: “Ugh. At least it isn’t ‘insert funny headline here!’”
Headline, yes. Clever, no. Again, almost as used and abused as the above example.

HEADLINE: “how abot diner and drniks”
SHE THINKS: “This guy isn’t smart enough to spell? Or even smart enough to use a spell checker? Goodbye!”
There is NO excuse for spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors in your headline.

HEADLINE: “Love to laugh.“
SHE THINKS: “Duh, who doesn’t?”
So what have you told her besides that you are an average guy? Oh right, you are also unoriginal and uncreative too. Super.

HEADLINE: “Looking for someone special.”
SHE THINKS: “Wow, who isn’t looking for someone special? You think everyone else is looking for losers?”
Everyone is looking for someone special. Just because you are, doesn’t put you in a higher value category than the next guy. Plus everyone uses this tired line.

HEADLINE: “Hmm, I don’t know what to write here.”
SHE THINKS: “Wow, stumped already? Our first date is going to suck.”
This headline is absolutely pathetic and if you can’t even rip off one of the lame ones above, you don’t deserve a date.

HEADLINE: “I need (insert anything needy).”
SHE THINKS: “Needy AND single? Where can I sign up?“
Real men don’t need anything. Neediness is horribly unattractive.

HEADLINE: “I’ll fill this in later.”
SHE THINKS: “Too lazy to come up with a headline? That’s sexy...”
Laziness is a huge turn off for women and a big sign of weakness. This is possibly the worst headline ever... besides the next one.

HEADLINE: “Looking for a girl who won’t hurt me.”
SHE THINKS: “Emotionally broken already? I’m running like hell from this one.”
You aren’t asking for a girl who won’t hurt you, you are scaring off everyone who isn’t carrying emotional baggage. Hugely unattractive.


HEADLINE: “One last try...”
SHE THINKS: “One last try... because you are a multiple time loser? Ouch.”
Never show weakness or failure on the internet, she’ll think it’s 10x worse than it is. Which is usually true.

HEADLINE: “Just looking.”
SHE THINKS: “If you aren’t serious, then why bother?”
What she thinks is accurate. She’s here with a purpose, not to waste her time.

HEADLINE: “Hey Baby”
SHE THINKS: “Hey Baby? HEY BABY? Could you be any more disrespectful?”
A total waste of an opportunity to use a good headline. Oh, and it’s lame.

HEADLINE: “Hello,” or “Hi.”
SHE THINKS: “Um, how about “BYE” instead?”
This is probably the most common headline out there and definitely the most boring. It is completely uncreative and lacking any effort.

There you go. I've got a full list with about a dozen more bad ones, but those are the ones I see the most often. Never ever use any of them again... if not for you, then for me!

Happy dating!
