Angus Watson and Tanya Gold look at the classic dating mistakes of the sexes
WHERE WOMEN GO WRONG
They talk about cats, self-help books and soap operas; to men, this is dull and may indicate the beginnings of insanity.
They talk about past relationships; the ultimate turn-off.
They dress either dress too sluttily, or turn up disguised as Margaret Thatcher.
They boast about their highly paid jobs and salaries; this can make less well-paid men feel small, helpless and angry.
They get drunk and emotional.
They sometimes expect sex on the first date, which can leave men feeling 'used'.
They talk about marriage, families and babies precipitously; men like to feel that marriage is their idea, even if it is plainly not.
They give mixed messages; if you like a man, say do, if you don't, politely disappear.

WHERE MEN GO WRONG
They lie on their profiles. About everything: height, 'hair situation', age, marital status, children...
If you're overweight and 60-years-old don't expect a warm response form a 23-year-old woman looking for a 'a sporty man agged 22 to 35'
They can't spell: "Hi Cuttie, how r ya?"
They are too pushy: They don't think that most women prefer to get to know the man a little (email/ phone etc) before they meet a complete stranger.
They use sexual innuendo: e.g. to girl who likes fishing: "Will you hold my rod?"
They don't always bother with innuendo: "I want you now you, sexy"
They confuse dating with getting laid.
They are shy. A bit shy is cute, too shy is weird
