Tips to get your profile noticed:

Dare to be different. Ask friends to describe what sets you apart from others. Then play off what they say to come up with your own vision of yourself. Make sure you stay true to who you are. Be honest. Nobody wants to learn they’ve been deceived.

Share something. Reveal a secret, do something out of the ordinary to catch the attention of someone scrolling by.

Post good photos. Unfortunately, looks do matter to most people. Profiles without pictures are hardly looked at and receive far fewer responses than profiles with photos included. Post as many pictures as you can. Make sure the photos are recent.

Show your interests. Post pictures that show your interests. If you enjoy biking, post a picture of you with your bike. If you love traveling, post a picture that was taken on a recent trip. If your pets are an important part of your life, post pictures with you and your pets.

Things to avoid:

• Sexual connotations or innuendos like "sex goddess" or "great in bed".
• Ovious statements like "looking for true love" or "looking for soul-mate".
• Pain statements like "Hi, I'm Craig " or "Hello, my name is Jenna".
• Headlines like "please read my profile" or "please don't ignore me".
• Negative comments like "losers don't apply" or "no liars please".
• Never share your address of phone number in a public place.
