So, you've just joined an online dating site and now you are ready to create your profile. Well, before you make the same tragic mistakes as many desperately seeking others have made, here are some tips to ensure that your profile will accomplish exactly what you want; to meet great people and represent you as the wonderful catch that you are.
First and foremost, your online profile should be truthful. Whether it is the picture that you are posting of yourself or your online description, stating that you are 5'8 and 140 pounds when you are 5'2 and 240 pounds is not a good idea, especially if you plan on meeting your date in person. There are plenty of wonderful people that you will meet who will appreciate you for who you are so skip the lies and stick to the truth. If you exaggerate your physical appearance, you miss out on finding the person who is attracted to the real you.
Don't take high school photos and place them on your profile when you know that you haven't looked that way for at least twenty years. Take a recent photo, one that really looks like you, and place that on your profile. Also, make sure that you are smiling. Serious pictures may not express your friendliness and can backfire against you. As well as pictures that look as if they are too revealing. Remember that you are using the service to attract a partner and the way you present yourself will determine whom you attract. So, remember to keep things honest and truthful for the best results, and dress appropriately in your photo. The object of online dating isn't to lie or try to pretend that you are someone you aren't. It is to find others who are genuinely interested in you, for who you are.
Next, beware of describing yourself in one-word adjectives. Many online profiles appear dull and boring thanks to the overuse of adjectives and they fail to truly capture anyone's attention. Try using a writing technique to create your profile - show action. Instead of stating that you like art or visiting museums, show action by describing the last sculpture you created or your most recent trip to a museum. This is applicable for any description that you are going to create. Show in action words or verbs who you are and avoid the overuse of common one word adjectives.
Finally, make sure to remember to practice Internet safety. Even though the goal is to find someone and make a special connection with them, the purpose of creating your profile and joining a service is so that you can screen potential partners. Never post your personal information, such as your home address or phone number in your profile. You will most likely not want to share your last name as well. Keep this information private until you feel comfortable sharing it with your date. Each website has their own terms of use and requirements, so also be sure to follow the policies set forth by the dating agency.
I know what you are going through and it can be a lonely place when you aren't getting the results you crave. In this situation you have to hang in there and never give up!
Tip #1
Test your replies from what you write in your first and second emails. Save your emails in a file and use the ones that get the most replies as templates...everyone is unique though.
Tip#2
You must comment on personal things she has written in her profile. To show you have made the effort to find out something about her.
And remember, nothing works 100% of the time.
I still scratch my head when a profile ignores my interest...and I match her criteria well...go figure.
I've just finished dating a lady and am back in the internet dating game...
And loving it... one thing about using online dating sites is that whenever you find yourself single, you can be comfortable in the knowledge that it is only a matter of time before you meet someone else.
Or just enjoy dating a few different ladies until you do...
It's the most efficient / effective way to date that I'm aware of...
There is a LOT of women using online dating sites. This is good news for us healthy single men who don't like hanging out in smoky bars and clubs.
Attention!
I'm about to reveal a killer profile tip which I'm certain I've never revealed before.
I was aware of it but never really made the effort to use it.
As I was preparing a new profile name, photo and text to go back online, I decided to make the effort.
The results have been pretty darn good, and I've only been back online for four weeks or so!
It's got the type of women I'm interested in meeting, to contact me straight away.
No messing about with virtual kisses and then me having to pay for the contact.
They contacted me and sent their mobile number with the email!
Yehaa! I like that… :-]
Are you ready, let's look at it,
Here it is;
Men's Killer Profile Tip!
When editing or making up your profile, pretend you are a copywriter.
By this I mean imagine you have been paid by a company to write a profile convincing a client to be interested in that company's goods.
So to do that you need to tell the reader this;
'WHATS IN IT FOR THEM!'
Read profiles of men in your area and age group to scope out the competition.
Notice how often they use the word ' I.'
So you'll see they are focusing on themselves, instead of the reader.
This is good for you, so that your profile will stand out from the crowd.
For example;
Instead of writing, 'I love going to the beach for a swim.'
Write it this way, 'Do you enjoy going to the beach for a walk and a swim?'
Subtle difference, but it works!
Instead of this, 'I like to cook.'
Write it, 'Do you like your man to cook for you while having a glass of wine together.'
Get the idea?
So why not edit your profile and delete as many ' I's ' as you can.
Or set up a new one on a different site and see the results...
You will notice the difference quickly.
Focus on what you think the type of women that interests YOU, would like to read and do.
I think you get the picture with this and I won't bother with endless examples.
This truly is a KILLER tip!
Try it out and good luck to you!
So instead of writing the word ‘I,' rephrase it and use the word ‘you.'
Simple but effective and gets good results…
Until next time and more dating tips, keep smiling...
