Five Top Tips For Productive Dating Profiles
ThereÂ’s no shortage of advice for people starting to prepare their online dating profile, or for those whose profiles havenÂ’t yet produced results. However, the most important advice is in these top five tips:
1) Research
Before you write and post your profile, check out the competition. The last thing you want is for your headline to be exactly the same as four other people, or for your user name to be too close to others. Spend some time browsing the profiles – look at what catches your interest and what doesn’t. Then use that information to create a profile that will stand out from the crowd.
2) Clear and concise
DonÂ’t ramble. Remember that the people who read your profile are browsing and theyÂ’ll just click away if you donÂ’t grab their attention and tell them what they want to know. Keep it short and sweet, making sure that youÂ’ve included all the relevant information.
3) Say what you do, not what youÂ’re like
DonÂ’t write a string of words describing your qualities. This isnÂ’t a CV, itÂ’s a personal profile. Make it personal by saying what you actually like to do and how you spend your time. Ditch the jargon, use plain English and say what you mean. Trying to look clever by using long words or complicated descriptions doesnÂ’t get responses.
4) Update
Keep updating your profile. When youÂ’ve done something new or exciting, say so. This not only widens the audience for your profile, by shows readers that you are still using the site and still interested in hearing from them.
5) Photographs
Posting a photo is expected on todayÂ’s online dating sites. On some sites, itÂ’s possible to post more than one photo, but whatever the restrictions, make sure that you choose a really good photo. Ideally, it should just be of you on your own, not you with family and friends and if you can, choose a photo that illustrates you doing something you really like. Keep it recent and decent and it can go a long way to improving your chances of some genuine responses.
BONUS : Flirting Mistakes - 8 Things Not To Do
Being a good flirt has as much to do with not doing the wrong things as it does with doing the right things. Flirting is difficult because there's such a fine line between being successful and crashing and burning. It's so easy to do everything right, but then ruin all of your progress by making one of the all too common mistakes below.
1) Don't be crude
If you make obvious and nasty sexual innuendoes, you aren't being a turn on, you're being a pervert...unless you're a girl (then it's ok).
2) Don't ignore body language
Over 65% of communication is non-verbal. If you aren't actively looking at the way their body is shifting or what the person's eyes are saying, you're going to miss a lot of obvious signs that say "I'm into you, keep talking."...or..."You're a freak, and I don't want you around a second longer."
3) Avoid being overtly slick
It's fine to act cool, but don't go overboard. You won't seem like yourself...and that's not attractive.
4) Don't be silly
Flirting should make your target feel sexy and wanted, not entertained. You want to be perceived in a sexual way...not as the funny guy or girl.
5) Don't be excessively cute
If you act too cute (unsexy), you'll be seen as an innocent and nice person. That's great if you want to be just a friend, but not for anything more.
6) Cut your losses if it's obvious your actions aren't appreciated
If your flirtations are clearly visible and you aren't being flirted with back, it's time to pack it up and move on.
7) Don't show fear
Insecurity is perceived as a terribly unattractive sign of weakness. If you want to get your target to take you seriously, you've got to hide your nerves. This means no...stammering, fidgeting, wandering eyes (off into the distance), wavering voice, etc.
8) Avoid being overly touchy feely...unless you're a girl
This is specifically aimed at the guys. It's not appropriate to grope or touch a woman unless you know she likes you. If you aren't sure that she's into you, it's ok to lightly touch her shoulder or graze her arm...but that's it! Do not put your arm around her waist or constantly touch her shoulder or body. This will freak her out and make her feel terribly uncomfortable around you.
