Why would this woman specify such a narrow income range in the guy she is looking for? Better yet, what does she mean when she says she'll 'try anything'? And above all, how would Emily and Scot answer an email that asks what to do about an online love affair that has lasted eight months--without the two of them actually meeting! Find out all of that and more in this action-packed episode.

Brought to you by Match.com (www.deservewhatyouwant.com/match). If you are a guy and you look kind of young for your age, it's probably best to do what you can to come off more mature. The backpack picture and emphasis on being a full-time student probably won't help, though. And warning all the women out there about your mom DEFINITELY won't...

We thought this lady was an underage fugitive from the 'Red Hat Society'...until we figured out that she was actually on her knees in a big sombrero hugging some guy's inseam. Ten seconds with 'Photoshop' and Scot and Emily could change this woman's life.

Now brought to you by EliteMate (www.deservewhatyouwant.com/elitemate). On this show we meet a woman with high standards for the guy she wants to meet. That's great, but she's going to have to give that guy more information about herself than what her 'laundry list' looks like.

Show 20--Online Dating Profile Rating
Now brought to you by Match.com (www.deservewhatyouwant.com/match). Here we have the quintessential example of a 'comma chameleon'. She can be whatever you want her to be and has the exhaustive list of stuff in her profile to back it up. But is that really what it takes to separate oneself from the crowd? And are those who search 'Catholic' really going to be okay with the Shaman stuff and the tarot cards? Find out as we meet a lady who truly 'runs with the big dogs'.

Show 21--Online Dating Profile Rating
Now brought to you by Match.com (www.deservewhatyouwant.com/match). You've got to portray masculinity in your online profile if you are a guy. The trick, however, is to make sure you also do it in a way that actually ATTRACTS women. This guy's profile is a classic case study on both how to do that and how NOT to do that. Find out how that can be possible in this episode.

Finally...a profile from a woman listener. And it's a REAL GOOD one. Plenty of positive takeaways from this one for the good of everyone listening. Also, an honest discussion of what "a few extra pounds" really means...

OK, get your 'fire suit' on for this one because the going gets pretty rough. What happens when a man goes out of his way (or so it seems) to appear as deeply involved in the homosexual sub-culture as humanly possible? Not a whole lot...if he's really looking for women online as his profile states. And simply showing off that he has been somewhere cool like the Taj Mahal isn't going to redeem this one, either.

Glamour Shots? Oh no, he didn't. But he did. But at least he salvages masculinity while somehow managing to give us all the feeling that we know this guy even LESS having read his profile. NOW WITH DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED SOUND QUALITY.

Find out some possible earmarks of a fake profile as posted by man impersonating a woman online. Ultimately, however, this particular profile is a question mark...and not only because its authenticity is questionable. This goes WAY deeper.

Okay, there you have it. The shining example of what NOT to choose for a username. That's unfortunate because the rest of the profile is brilliantly executed right down to the pictures...well, except for the one with the Druids in it. That's just bizarre.

Will the 'cute college girl' look cut it for this 24-year-old? Perhaps...as long as she can lose 'Billy Idol' and get a grip on her own sense of self-esteem. Emily and Scot take what's good about this profile and demonstrate how to make it really shine.

Now brought to you by Match.com (www.deservewhatyouwant.com/match). OK, now we've got a profile from the kind of guy who Emily admits she may have actually replied to an e-mail from back when she was online. Or at least until she noticed those two MAJOR, MAJOR gaffes that probably ruin his chances with 99% of the women out there. And, well...except for the subtle apologies for being a man. And, um, all those commas. Come to think about it, this is a solid case of being 'so close, yet so far away', huh?

So who does he look more like, Adam Sandler or that guy from 'Blues Clues'? It's hard to tell, which brings up a good question...should your pictures be consistent? Also, what's the right way to add 'mystery' to your persona short of creeping women out? Scot and Emily deal with all these major life questions and more in this episode, including how to talk about your drinking habits online.

Now brought to you by Match.com (www.deservewhatyouwant.com/match). Well, it's kind of hard to attract fantastic women when most of one's pictures show the back of one's head. And even harder with black shoes and white socks...in shorts. But all of that aside, here we have a guy who truly GETS IT insofar as writing a profile narrative goes. Learn all about why that is, and also discover Emily's brand-new Click With Him Program for women (www.clickwithhim.com), all on this majorly overdue episode of ODPR.
