"Bad girl" - a hidden mirroring opportunity.

I've talked a lot about how guys try to impress in their profiles.

They try to look "perfect". And, when they do it, they often look insincere.

Well... women do it too.

They say the things they think they should. That they're virtuous, morally perfect women. Because, after all, guys are on eHarmony looking for long-term relationships, so they should act like women of virtue, right?

Of course, you know that no one is that virtuous.

But... most guys, when they try to impress women, will actually try to flatter them for the false front that they're putting forth.

So... be different.

I'm not saying that an open communication message saying, "Oh, you're so full of baloney!" will go far.

But gentle, fun questions, challenges, and exposure (and acceptance) of her bad-girl nature is something that most guys won't do.

Be careful (and sparing) in doing this. It's a spice. If you use too much of this, she'll feel like you're treating her like a bad person, instead of a woman who's a "little naughty in a good way".

But, used appropriately, doing this can make things a lot more fun.
