5 Tips to create a great online dating profile
Dating online can feel frustrating and disappointing for new comers. The first thing to remember is that its a numbers game... the more pro-active you are the more likely you are to find your perfect match. So whether you choose a paid dating site or a totally free online dating website, heres 5 great tips to ensuring you create a good profile that attracts attention:-
1. Be yourself
Don't try to be someone you are not. You want a potential match to like you for who you are so don't be tempted to 'pimp' your profile to make you look better than you are. For instance, saying you are sporty and fit when you prefer to sit on the couch and watch tv is going to land you dating a girl that likes a sporty person and when she realises you are not sporty but lied on your profile you will likely not hear from her again.
2. Use a decent photo
Make your photo a good one and make sure its of your face! clear head and shoulders shots are good and most importantly... smile! Oh and a note for the guys... no matter how impressive your body is (or any parts of it!), most girls really do prefer to see your face.
3. Why should I date you?
Lets face it, online dating is a bit like shopping. You can browse leisurely online and till something perks your interest. So put yourself in the shoes of someone looking... what is it that will make someone stop and take interest at your profile? It could be an unusual hobby, it could be something humourous like maybe a funny situation you have been in, or it could just be a refereshing sense of honesty that comes across.
4. Fill out your profile properly
Give yourself the best chance by filling out your profile fully, make sure your personal stats are all completely and no fields are left as "I'll write more later". This just gives the impression you can't be bothered. Also, nobody likes to see everything as "Rather not say", as it gives the impression you have something to hide.
5. Spell and use good grammar
Take the time to use a spell checker and write in proper sentences. Attention to the little things can show you are serious about dating and not just there to kill some time.
