Building Your Online Dating Profile
When it comes to online dating the competition is fierce and intense. Some people will do whatever it takes to get
those dates including lying on their profile and including photos that are outdated. It’s important that you be
honest with yourself both in your profile and with the pictures that you upload for others to see. Attracting dates
using false pretences can only lead to trouble in the future.
There are some important things that you need to focus on when you’re building your online profile. You want your
profile to be as honest as possible and say as much about you as it can. The following are specific aspects that
you can focus on to get the ideal profile for your online dating adventures.
Try to avoid being negative. Negative talk about your job, your life, or your past dates is a big turnoff to future
dates. You want to be positive and upbeat about whom you are without lying or embellishing. In the world of online
taking being positive is like a magnet. Everyone wants to find that special someone who is positive and exciting.
Negativity will get you few dates, and the ones that you do get will be just as negative as you are. Let potential
dates know that you want to meet “winners”. This will encourage only upbeat and successful people to respond to
your profile.
Try to be as unique as you can in the way you write your profile. Don’t just let people know that you like music
and walks along the beach. Be specific about the music that you enjoy listening and the types of beaches that
you’ve walked along. Use descriptive words that are different such as “a sizzling hot day on the beach” rather than
“a hot day at the beach”. You want to make your profile as un-ordinary as you can without sounding like a complete
flake.
When you write your profile you don’t just want to get as many responses as you can. You want to get the right
responses from the type of people who you are attracted to. Filter the responses that you get by being specific
about what you’re looking for. Make sure that you list the age requirements of potential dates so that you don’t
end up with responses from people of all ages. Remember that this is your profile and you’re the one who is in
charge of who you date. Update your profile at least once every two weeks if you’re not getting the responses that
you want.
