People, it’s almost 2014. I would love to think that everyone is conscious of their Internet presence and how it might affect both their personal and professional lives, but. . . well, the proof is in the pudding.
Clean up your Internet presence!
You have to figure that people doing online dating are also going to utilize the Internet to see if they can dig up more information on you. In other words, you can bet your ass that you will be Googled. You’ve worked hard to create an ideal and curated version of yourself, so why waste it by being careless with the rest of your Internet presence?
In OkCupid, even though you don’t provide your full name or any accounts, your username could be a giveaway… and it’s shockingly easy to discover someone’s identity with just their first name, profession, and city.
So Google yourself and make sure you like what you see. Make sure you have great pictures on all your social media profiles. And delete that tweet about getting chocolate wasted.
