A lot of people tend to obsess over creating the perfect online dating profile. They hope it will maximize their chances of attracting the right partner. And while it's true that an eye-catching dating profile tends to attract people a lot more, you don't need to over-complicate matters by being obsessed with perfection. Some of the best online dating profiles are very simple and to-the-point.
Writing about yourself can seem sort of odd, and perhaps even daunting at times, when creating a dating profile. What should you write? What information do you give? But it doesn't have to be overwhelming. You don't have to be the smartest person on the site with the wittiest profile to attract the right people your way. Think of it this way: an online dating profile is just a simple way of introducing yourself to people, just like you would in real life. Be simple, be original and don't put too much pressure on yourself.
With that said, however, there are certain tips that you can use to make the online dating profile process a whole lot easier for yourself. Some things work better than others when it comes to creating an irresistible online dating profile. We'll explore a few here.
There's plenty of advice out there on how to improve your dating profile and probably the most common one is to use a catchy screen name. Most people ignore their usernames entirely, often choosing their own name followed by a bunch of numbers from the year they were born. These kinds of usernames tend to get a little too boring and predictable and don't add any fun to your profile.
Your username is the first thing people see when they stumble upon your profile. Put some thought into it and make sure it tells something unique about yourself. Maybe you're into art, music or perhaps you're a fan of a book series. These are all good options that you can throw in to create a wacky and whimsical username. See what works for you and try to keep things interesting.
Among the many online dating profile tips, this one probably stands out as the most important. Being original and true to yourself is the surest way to attract people's attention as well as respect. People tend to appreciate it when they see someone who is authentic and true. There's no need to fake any of your personality traits or accomplishments in life, for that matter. Be your true to your unique self and the right people will gravitate your way on their own.
Don't get hung up on using complicated words or coming across as witty and interesting. There's nothing wrong with making an effort, but don't overdo it. Keep the structure of your profile simple and to-the-point. Don't lie, exaggerate, or fake any of the information on your profile - that's not a good way to start a brand-new relationship. Your partner should be able to trust you and the foundation of your relationship should not rest on fake information and a bunch of lies.
A lot of online dating profiles tend to have an entire novel written in their bio. Yes, a little bit of bragging now and then is totally fine, but you don't have to dump your entire life story in the bio. There are no hard and fast rules on how to write a good profile about yourself. You can be creative with the bio however you like but make sure you use actions rather than words to show your qualities. If you're a good conversationalist, you don't have to put that on your bio, you can always demonstrate it by making interesting conversation with your romantic interest.
Here's a tip: think of an interesting moment in your life - a turning point, if you will - and use that to craft your bio. Be creative and that will help you stand out from the crowd pretty easily.
This one is pretty straightforward. Good grammar goes a long way towards making a good impression. Most people ignore proper spelling and accurate grammar online and revert to slang. Slang is fine while conversing but keep it off your online dating profile. Some people looking for a serious relationship could notice all those grammar issues in your profile. It's important to show that you are knowledgeable and intelligent and a good way to do that is to use proper grammar in your profile.
Showing your romantic side on your profile is okay, you're using an online dating platform after all. Don't get too cheesy, but mentioning stuff like how you're old-fashioned when it comes to romance or maybe that you're a hopeless romantic can in fact improve your chances of attracting potential partners. People tend to appreciate honesty. And being honest when it comes to romance tends to have an even greater impact.
A lot of people are afraid of coming off as vulnerable and emotional - even within the online dating sphere. The truth is, most people would choose a less-attractive but emotionally available person over a very attractive emotionally unavailable one. In fact, there's credible research on this phenomenon where women showed a tendency to choose partners who were emotionally available over those who weren't. So, being emotionally available and showing a little vulnerability is encouraged.
People often turn the task of filling up their online dating profile into this overwhelming ordeal. It doesn't have to be that way. Put your best foot forward, but make sure you keep the whole thing simple and original - you'll see far better results in the long run.
