Online dating must be handled with care. It can sometimes be aking to tip-toeing through a mine field, but unfortunately no matter how much care is taken, women can find themselves the unlucky recipients of disturbing messages.
Sy Thomas, a British comedian, took the saying 'take a walk in their shoes' to a whole new level when he transformed himself into a woman called Simone and created a Tinder account.
I am a single man growing increasingly frustrated with online dating- it got me thinking: what if I was a woman? Maybe I’d learn techniques from the men who are trying to woo me.

Perfect.
2. Step two: Create a profile:
Then comes the selfies...
3. Step three: wait for the responses
Oh dear, the responses...

There are no words.
Are you a cigarette? Because you're smoking hot and I want to put your butt in my mouth.
It started off so well, and then it descended into filth.
While there were a few decent ones, in which Simone was told she was varying degrees of 'beautiful', the dirty messages far outweighed the nice ones.
What were his thoughts?
A lot of these opening messages, you'd never say that to someone in a bar. The best messages are the ones that are genuine.
The results are in, and it isn't far-fetched at all: be genuine, and the chances are, you'll meet genuine people.
And if all else fails?
I think we have be know about each other sweetheart. Wanna be drink of wine with me
Cease grammar altogether.
