When it comes to online dating, there are usually more men than women on the different sites. The key is to attract women to your profile by using the right picture, writing the perfect personality profile, and effectively corresponding with potential mates. Whichever free dating site you choose, these tips will work on any of them.



Your Picture

Do not go rummaging through an old box or CD of photos to look for a picture for your free dating site. Have a photo take that is a clear head and shoulders shot. If there is part of your face you do not like, place it in a shadow to draw less attention to the flaw. If you really want to catch a lady's eye, choose a brighter shirt or a silly hat or funny t-shirt. Just be sure to explain it in the profile.

The Headline

Choose a catchy headline. You want to sum up yourself in an upbeat positive manner on your free dating site. Avoid using terms like, “newly divorced”, “suddenly single” or “back on the market” as these indicate past relationships gone wrong. This is the last thing a potential mate wants to know. Especially if it seems that you are still caught up on your ex.

The Profile

Be honest in your profile. Describe yourself as accurately as possible on your free dating site. Do not exaggerate. If you are not entirely truthful and you decide you want to actually meet someone, you will quickly be caught out as a liar. Try and be funny. Women love comedy. But be funny, not raunchy. You are not writing for one of the boys. Keep sex completely out of the picture. Do not even consider any subtle innuendoes. Simply describe yourself and your likes and dislikes. Be honest about what you are looking for in a mate. In addition, be realistic. Don't state you are looking for a Barbie doll, as you will probably receive no contacts.

Initial Contact

When a woman contacts you on the free dating site, take it slow. Spend some time corresponding and getting to know the person. Once again keep it light hearted, fun and funny. Avoid any mention of sex or ex-wives or ex-girlfriends. Do not be in a rush to run out and physically meet this woman. Let her set the pace. Many times men want to move much faster than a woman does. Do not push, as this is a sure way to scare her off.

Trying to find a woman online requires some special preparation. Stay lighthearted and keep it fun and relaxed in your picture, headline and profile. Use comedy and avoid any mention of sex. When corresponding with a woman, again keep it lighthearted. Do not mention any ex-wife or ex-girlfriend unless asked directly. And then, just mention it briefly and keep it positive if possible. Always let the woman lead the conversation and well as request the initial meeting. And let her decide where the meeting will be. Or recommend meeting in a very public place to keep her from being worried about her safety.
