Online Dating Profile
Make it Stand Out to Find Someone Fine While Dating Online
An online dating profile that is well written and conveys the "real you" is essential to success in the very competitive world of online dating. Most people find it very difficult to describe themselves and don't say the right things for attracting or choosing a relevant date or partner.
You want to get the "real you" and your personality across in your online dating profile. This will help you attract responses from the people you are going to be most likely interested in.
If you just slap up a few thoughtless, vague sentences about yourself then you'll not only attract responses from people you're not interested in, but you are likely to think there's no hope of getting a response from that person you are interested in.
Here's what you want to think about when creating your best online dating profile:
What are you looking for?
Know exactly what it is you are looking for or are
hoping to
attract into your life by posting a profile online. Are you
just "checking things out" or looking for "just a date" or do
you want a
long term relationship? Knowing what kind of interaction you
are looking for before you write your profile will be easier to write
and will help save you time.
Do some brainstorming
Imagine what you would say about yourself if you met someone in a casual place where there was no pressure such as in the grocery store, bank, donut shop or at a friend's party. If you are in that kind of an environment you are usually more at ease and have a tendency to be more descriptive about topics such as hobbies or children.
Write like you talk
Write your online dating profile like you were talking to someone. Be honest, sincere and positive. Show your personality. Be proud of who you are and convey that in your profile. If you write a humorous profile your reader will most likely find it humorous, if you write a boring online dating profile then most likely your reader will find it boring.
Set yourself apart from the rest by being descriptive and tell a story
You will be much more interesting and more likely to get a response if you describe what you like and tell a brief story. Instead of saying: "I like dogs" add some spark to your online dating profile by saying: "My favorite breed of dog is ______ because ________."
Maybe you like to travel so instead of saying: "I like to travel" you might say something like "Last year I visited ________ and really had a fantastic time experiencing _________."
Instead of saying "I enjoy dining out" create some interest by saying "I love to dine at _______ because _________."
By telling a story you peak your reader's interest and it helps them to see themselves doing it with you.
Use filters to get what you're looking for
Your goal in your online dating profile is to get responses from the kind of person you are attracted to so use descriptions to help you focus on what you want. For example: " I'm looking for someone fun and outgoing" sounds boring and not likely to peak much interest.
So you might say: "I'm looking for an energetic _______ between the ages of ________ who enjoys taking long walks on the beach. So if you enjoy having a good laugh and you're not afraid to get your feet wet then we may be a match so email me."
You have just described what you are looking for without being offensive and that is someone who's active, within a certain age range and that likes to do something you like to do. You have also created the "call to action" filter which will prompt someone to email you rather than putting it off and perhaps moving on to another person's profile.

Let your photo tell a story
Add photos in your online dating profile that are current and show different sides of your personality if you can. If you have photos of yourself on a recent vacation or participating in a hobby you enjoy gives your reader's more information about you and your personality and will likely increase the amount of views you get.
Have
fun and most important be
yourself when you are creating your
online dating profile and you will find success attracting someone fine
while dating online!
