Erika Ettin: An outdated profile may make you lose out on a date

Many years ago, I had a client who was on an online dating site, and someone she was interested in had a really cute picture of himself with a dog. When she reached out to him, she said, “What a cute pup! What’s his/her name?”

The guy replied and, rather than being flattered that my client reached out, he instead accused her of stalking him: “How did you know I had a dog? Did you look me up? What else do you know about me?” She promptly wrote, “Look at your fourth picture.” End scene.

This guy clearly hadn’t looked at his own profile in a while, and that was to the detriment of everyone.
