Increase Your Dating Success for The Internet User: Writing an Exciting Profile

But most people WANT to see who it is they are reading about! So many people nowadays post on their profiles stating that if you have no picture then don’t expect a reply! This is mainly true about girls and their profiles.

Try and pick a picture that you are comfortable with. Something that makes you come across as genuine and happy! A sulking passport picture isn’t much good and don’t think you have to be great looking! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Look natural and not too posy! Girls may like a good looking guy, but they hate a poser! As much as guys want a natural looking girl, not a centrefold! Okay…so a lot of guys do but this advice is for those that want a serious date!

Audio Recordings

Some sites allow you to record your introduction. People can and do judge by a person’s voice so this can be a good way to introduce yourself and boost your chances. Just be natural and clear and with a hint of energy in your recording! Don’t be drab!

Be Natural!

A typical and perhaps the Golden Rule about writing a profile is to be NATURAL and don’t spend too much time making you sound like something you are not! In other words DO NOT BRAG! That could be how handsome or pretty you are, what job you do and income you get or what car you drive!

TIP FOR GUYS:

Girls usually don’t like guys putting up pictures of their cars or bikes. Plus whilst most girls appreciate a good physique on a guy, they don’t want to see you flexing your muscles with your mobile phone in one hand snapping the pic in a mirror!

If you feel the need to place a shirtless picture in guys then make it just one! Girls will think you are a poser, player or someone anal!

Remember, girls have imaginations too!

Same can be said for the girls. Guys love to see a woman looking sexy. But avoid anything that verges on pornographic! Besides, many sites are now banning such pictures that are deemed “distasteful”.

Always Be Positive!

When writing your profile focus on positive aspects of yourself! NEVER write anything that is negative as it will just spoil the reader’s opinion of you straight the way.

People want positive people. Being around happy people makes you happier! Being around sad people makes us miserable!

Think about that when writing your profile.

The Dreaded “Ex” Syndrome!

NEVER go on about an ex girlfriend or boyfriend. People don’t want to hear about how you’ve been dumped before. That sort of information can be conveyed after a few dates when you get to know the person and feel a bit more comfortable.

Remember it is off putting and the reader is there t find out about the NEW YOU, not the OLD YOU that is stuck in the aftermath of what was probably a bitter or sad break up!

BE HONEST!

I cannot state this enough: Be HONEST about your age and about any pictures you have placed up on your profile. People do not want to read that you are 30 years of age and then meet you and you are 50! The same is said for pictures. Whilst we all want to look our best, resist the temptation to put up a picture that is anymore than 12 months old!

So many people complain that they meet someone and they turned out to be much older than their picture and in some horrifying cases, NOT THE PERSON IN THE PICTURES!

Yes it happens and happens a lot!

GET ON LINE!

Writing a good profile is trial and error. Experiment along the way as you get on line. You will soon see what type of people you attract and you can always edit your profile as you go along. Compare the feedback and results you get by saving copies of your profiles before making changes and date them. Then look back at your messages and gauge from that what is working and what is not.

BE BOLD!

Internet Dating is moving forward at a very fast pace. In ten years time it will be as popular as dating the old fashioned way. So be brave and don’t delay and have fun along the way. Everything in life is an experience and a learning curve. This is just another example of that very fact.

Happy dating!
