Am I psychic or what? I told you I saw this in my (and your) near future... lucky for you I'm a woman of my word, at least on Fridays.
Being "closed" is the online dating world equivalent to going on a first date and never being contacted again. Obviously you just didn't make the cut. The advantage to this equivalent is that 1. You don't have the joy of having been in the awkward, obviously unsuccessful first date scenario 2. You'll never have to see that person (or "match" rather) again since well, you've never really seen them at all 3. The unsuccessful match has no legitimate information about you, in other words, no need to block their number, watch your back while walking from the carport to your front door, I think you get the picture. Are you seeing the amazing possibilities here with a more digital approach?
When it comes to my personal Eharm adventure, bachelors beware, you will be "closed" if...
A. Your default (or even one of your photos) includes you fist pumping in a bar that resembles any establishment in PB.
B. You have "smoking" even "once a year" on your profile...and yes, this is a "category." Gross.
C. A photo anywhere on your profile (or in the world) includes you wearing a fidora...unless you're Justin Timberlake, which is relatively unlikely.
D. Your "What you're looking for" portion is all about...YOU. Something to the effect of "Most importantly, I am looking for someone who wants to get to know ME and loves ME for who I am." No thanks...Clearly you aren't aware that it should be all about ME!
E. Your hobbies include going to the river (a little W.T. dontcha think), or watching Television (you should be at least pretending not to be a couch potato like the rest of us!)
F. You're under 25...it's just not gonna happen. Sorry. I want me a MAN!
G. You don't mention "loving life," "living each day to the fullest" and other like optomistic statements. It's just not going to work. Me likey positivity.

H. In a totally un-shallow way...you have a bowl cut with a middle part. ummm...
I think these are all reasonable requirements don't you?
