When it comes to making a dating profile you want to make a profile to impress. The more attention you get from your profile the better. With these tips you will be able to set your profile apart from the rest and hopefully start getting some action.
#1 Use a flattering profile picture.
-This should be an obvious one but many people make mistakes here. Choose a picture that is recent and attractive but most importantly. Make sure it looks like you! Most people can take glamor shots from weird angles to make themselves look good but all this will lead to is disappointment on the other end once you actually meet.
#2 Be positive
-Be positive in your profile, don't talk about everything that is stressing you out in life. This is not a page to vent your feelings. This is a page to attract like minded people so stay positive and talk about the things that bring you joy in life. Write your profile so your readers become enticed to share that joy with you.
#3 Don't lie about anything!
-Alright that might be a little misleading depending on your motivation. If your looking for a long term meaningful relationship of course its never good to lie or else you're going to have to explain yourself down the road. But lets just say you are just trying to find a casual sex partner. I say go ahead and lie, just make sure your lie doesn't get in the way of what your initial intentions were.
#4 Show people what you are all about, you shouldn't have to tell them.
-Many people make mistakes on this. Don't make a profile listing out your likes and hobbies. Show people what you like to do, tell them a story about how you went snowboarding instead of just telling them you like to snowboard.. Doing this will set you apart from 75% of the profiles out there.
#5 Avoid cliche's, try to be original.
-Be original so many people make this mistake. Hi my name is James, I like having fun and going to parties.†This is horrible, I don't care what your write after this or before it, stuff like this just makes you look stupid. Try to set yourself apart and avoid the cliches at all cost.
#6 Make it clear why you are on the site
-Make it clear why you are on the site and what your intentions are. If your only looking for a hook up, make sure you state that. Try to be as clear as you can as to what you are looking for in a partner. If you do this right the people that contact you are almost "in the bag" on certain sites.
-Make a backup file of all the information you put onto your profile. That way if you decide to join a different community you can easy transfer the information onto the new site.
