by Pax Shumway, Pax

The most important thing is to be absolutely honest about yourself. Never, ever lie. Many men and women lie about their age, height, weight, their marital status, employment, other things in their profiles. In fact, according to a recent study, about 52% of men, and 39% of women lie about their height. Slightly more women lie about their weight (64%), than men (60%). When it comes to age, 24% of the men are untruthful, compared with 13% of the women.

Lying is a huge mistake. If you find a person who you are really interested in, sooner or later, he or she will find out that you lied. And there goes any possibility of the relationship progressing. There is someone out there who will love you – the real you. So, be honest.

Don't forget to emphasize the things that make you unique. Also, describe the things that are important in your life. Examine your previous relationships and list the things that you liked and the things you did not like.

Improve your online profile by hiring a professional photographer for your online photo. This is essential because the photograph is the first thing people see. The second thing is that they read what you have written about yourself. Your favorite online dating site might be able to provide you with a list of photographers in your area that specialize in online dating site photographs.
