Ok, so I've been thinking about this - what makes a good online internet dating profile? First of all you want to get noticed - so, first and foremost ladies and gents you MUST have a great picture posted!!! Profile's with pictures get more hits and responses then one's without. When I say a great picture - I don't mean one from 15 years ago when you were in grade school. I'm talking about a recent picture. One that is upclose and from a far so that your potential dates gets to see the full you up close and personal. Second of all - what you write is so important. Don't say that you're down, depressed, lonely or desperate!!! Those are all what I call "quick, run!!!" words. No one wants to be with someone who's lonely, depressed or desperate (even if you're feeling that way, you certainly don't want to market yourself out there as being such.) Third - talk about you - who you are, what you're about and what you're looking for. Goals -what are your long term goals? Speak about what you enjoy, hobbies, activities - what are your passions in life?
I think many times people get caught up in the rut of the dating world and therefore, tend to expose their not so great side first. Be fun, be flirty (not too flirty), but say what you would normally say to your friend. Be expressive. Both women and men (shocking right!?!??) like expressiveness. Let's not forget - this is all being done online so this is what they're seeing first and this is the first impression that they'll base a possible date on.
Try not to be too cocky about what you are - ie. you're a big shot lawyer who learns million a year - we really don't care!!! Don't brag about what you have ie. materialistic things, but do brag about being a really great person with a huge heart.
This is just the beginning to writing a great profile - don't give up - the right one is out there just waiting for you to post the right things in your online dating profile!
