Tips to Writing Your Online Dating Profile

btm_online_dating_profileEver wondered why some of your single friends seem to get more matches through online dating than you? (We’re not talking about your friends who physically resemble Brad and Angelina here.) You are all of a similar standard in the looks department, but some of them just keep getting the matches. Perhaps you need to overhaul your online dating profile. Check these tips below to ensure that your online dating profile is as good as it can be:

Sell yourself up. You should never forget that your online dating profile is pretty much an advertisement for yourself. There is no point downplaying your attributes. Demonstrate your best features in a positive light. Would you purchase a car that had an uninspiring ad?

Show individuality. Don’t be afraid to stand out from the rest of the online dating singles. People get bored reading the same descriptions over and over. Make an effort to give different answers to others. Bland and safe answers are boring answers and you will not catch any one’s attention by playing it safe.

Select an appropriate name. This is a really important point that many singles overlook when online dating. Single guys should note that girls do not think that any kind of dating name that has overly sexual connotations is clever or appealing. Everyone gets the names with 69 in them, no they are not clever, and most girls find them a turn off. If you can’t think of anything original, or everything you can think of is taken, opt for your porn star name. Your porn star name is the name of your first pet and the name of your first street that you lived in. Play around with those name combinations until you find something you like.

Display a photo. Surveys show over and over that other singles will not date you if they cannot see what you look like. This makes sense since approximately 90% of initial attraction is based upon appearances. Other online dating singles want to see what you look like now, not 10 years and 10 kilos ago. Ensure that your online photo is as flattering as it can be. If you have great features make sure that they are well displayed in the photo.

Be honest. There is no point lying about your age and your hobbies. You are only wasting your time and everyone else’s. Be honest about what sort of relationship you are seeking. There are plenty of singles in online dating for all types of encounters. If you are not interested in long term relationships tick one of the other boxes. Being honest on your profile gives you a much higher chance of finding someone that you are genuinely going to have things in common with.

Don’t appear desperate. You may be desperate and dateless. You may feel that you are hopeless. You may have been single for a while. However, your online dating profile is no place to display those thoughts. No one likes misery. The more desperate you appear, the less singles you will attract. The trick to online dating is to appear happy and carefree.

Spend some time and thought on your online dating profile. Your online dating profile is definitely not the place for ‘near enough is good enough’. Your online dating profile is the equivalent of you walking into a singles club. Would you go there looking less than your best? Eye catching online dating profiles do grab the attention of online dating singles. Overhaul your profile now.

    Typically, online dating sites will provide advice.
    Stupid stuff like "use a recent photo" – "don't be something you're not" – "describe what you want"

    I posted a link to one of the sites.

    Serious is probably best – we get to know you through your profile, so if you're talking shit we probably won't reply.

    Other then that, don't ask them out in the first message, and don't limit your search to women in your area. The more you talk to the better you're going to get at online dating. In the first message be friendly and funny – say something like 'I saw your profile and I was just amazed at how beautiful, sweet and intelligent you are'

    Good luck, and if you need any more help with your profile send me a message.
