Internet Dating: How to write a good profile

One of the most common mistakes people make when creating an online profile is to spend too much time talking about their ideal match. People who read your profile want to know more about you and less about what you are looking for. Spend more time talking about yourself and you'll

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.

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.
