3 Tips For Creating A Great Online Dating Profile:Real Profile Tips That Work!
You've only got to search through about 20 profiles online dating profiles to realise that the vast majority of people have not got a clue what to write when it comes to creating their own profile. So, the good news is that by applying these 3 simple tips you can be streaks ahead of the competition in no time at all. Firstly, I want to say that honesty is vital when it comes to what you write and the photos you post online. You wouldn't want to meet someone who's lied about their age, looks or any other part of their life so treat everyone online with the same respect and set of manners that you would if you were to meet them face to face and you'll naturally weed out anyone not suitable very early on. So, how can you create an online dating profile that will attract the right men to you? Here are 3 tips you can use to get started straight away:
1) Be Unique
Read this profile and tell me if this could apply to you and virtually anyone else you know: "I'm an easy going, fun person who loves to spend time with friends and family. I love going out to restaurants but staying at home on the sofa with a good DVD and bottle of wine with the right person is always fun too. It would be great to find someone who can make me laugh and someone to share life with." OK, so you've read these kinds of profiles a million times, but yet many of us fall into the same trap over and over again. The trick is to be descriptive, bold and don't be afraid to stand out from the crowd, after all that's what you want to do! Pick an adjective that you'd use to describe yourself. For example you may say: 'I'm adventurous.' Now think of a time in your life when you did something adventurous and describe this. For example: 'On a recent trip to Barbados I went scuba diving for the first times and I'd never been snorkelling or diving before. Yes, I did forget to breathe but not for too long and no lifeguards were involved. I think it's better to regret something you have done rather than to regret never having tried.' Use words that are descriptive. Instead of saying "In the summer I love to go for a long walk or bike ride," say, "on a sizzling summers day my adventurous side comes out and you'll usually find me hurtling through the woods on my mountain bike or discovering a new walk in the New Forest, followed by a beer to cool of course!" Be bold, descriptive, unique, and fun!
2) No Negativity
Negativity is a major turnoff in your profile. At the end of the day you've only got a few paragraphs to inspire someone to contact you so this is not the place to expose your baggage or make demands on what you want in a partner. Here are a few examples I took from some recent profiles I read, oh and I've left them with their own bad grammar and spelling mistakes too! "Well after 16 unhappy years of marriage,i have decided rather than be alone i'd like to spend my life wth someone special,so if anyone fancies contacting me then go ahead,i don't bite." This makes you wonder how great a person they are if they had 16 years of unhappy marriage! Or how about this one: "I was never good at writting things down. And I never believed in a computer finding your match.But I said I would give it a try." Again, this isn't going to inspire anyone to think you're a great catch so just because you're thinking it, doesn't mean you should write it. Remember, deep down everyone wants to date someone positive so avoid anything negative like the plague. If you have any phrases that start with 'I hate, I'm tired of, I'm sick of or I'm no good at then take them out and find something positive to replace them with.
3) No Excess Baggage allowance
Your profile isn't a place to get out all your past and give someone a 'this is me, take it or leave it' style of approach. If you've got kids, they'll be able to see this is your statistics so saying that your kids are your world will likely only make someone feel there's no room for them. Or if you've had some bad experiences in the past, letting someone know about them in your profile will never have them want to contact you. Here is an example of what I mean: My daughter is of course a very important part of my life, so if you're not into kids - maybe I'm not the one for you... Be warned until I really know you, it maybe some time before you meet her... Can't just go introducing her to everyone now can I! Always remember, what you write in your profile is about getting a response from type of person you are attracted to. There's plenty of time later down the road to find out more about them and vice versa so keep it light hearted, fun and inspiring ONLY in your profile.
Bonus Tip
However great your profile is, your photos will be the most important aspect of it so take the time to post at least 3 great ones of you. You must be smiling in all 3, be relaxed and have at least 1 full body shot.
