Once you have made the decision to venture into the world of online dating, the next step is creating an eye-catching online dating profile. This part of the process can be a bit frightening and this is why we are here to help you along the way. By the end of this article, you’ll be able to create a perfect online dating profile with ease. With that being said, the following 10 tips will help you make the most of your dating profile and bring you a step closer to your happily ever after.
Ask a friend
Ask a close friend to write your bio for your dating profiles. Keep in mind that they know you better than you think and serve as the very best PR that you could possibly find.
Be unique
Don’t allow yourself to fall prey to clichés. Avoid phrases such as “I love drinking wine in front of a roaring fire” or “I enjoy long walks along the beach.” These statements could very well be true, but they are cliché and sound rehearsed.
Show how social you are
Don’t make yourself appear to be happily tucked away from the world content with books and internet interaction. Play up your sociable activities in order to convince potential dates that you will spend time with them, engage and be present in the moment. An easy way to do this is to upload action shots as opposed to a number of staged shots of yourself.
Positivity sells
Keep firmly in mind that your online dating profile is essentially your dating Curriculum Vitae. Therefore, you want your potential date to think of you and a life together in a positive light. Just as you would with a prospective employer, you want to be chosen and regarded positively.
Honesty is the best policy
In the world of online dating, lies are uncovered quicker than a pic is shared on Instagram. It’s best to be honest and share what you want at this stage. If you feel as if you want or need to lie about a subject, simply don’t include it.
Update, update, update
You certainly need to keep your profile updated. This will show others how serious you are as well as that you are living life while paying attention to the online dating platform.
Smile for love
Recent polls show that more than 96% of people prefer a happy grin over a stoic face or a melancholic smirk. The era of the sexy pout is over… smile and set yourself apart from the pack.
Short, sweet and concise wins the race
Don’t go into your memoirs online. Unlock the keys to your life over time once you have found your ideal date. In the beginning, it’s best to give people an honest, brief synopsis of yourself.
All eyes on you
When choosing the pictures that are to be displayed on your profile, make sure that you are the focal point. No matter how great you think your friends and family are… they are not the users of the dating site.
Summer fun for the one
According to research, online daters find that summertime pictures and activities are more appealing than those of other seasons. So if you went to the beach last summer and have the coolest pick by the seashore, be sure to upload it to your online dating profile.
With this information, your online dating profile will no doubt stand out from the crowd!
