Online Dating 13 Tips To Write A Winning Online Profile And Attr
How long do you spend getting ready for a night out? At a guess I would say that if youre a woman you can probably spend 1 hour upwards preening and titivating and if youre a man you can be showered, shaved and out of the door within 20 minutes (unless, of course, youre a metro-sexual in which case you probably take longer than a woman!).
Now let me ask you how long you would spend (or have spent) writing a profile for an online dating site? Less than 5 minutes, possibly 10 minutes maximum?
When you consider that you literally have minutes to impress someone and stand out from the rest in the online dating scene, dont you agree that more time and effort should be put into writing an online profile?
If you are an online dater, Im sure you will agree with me that when you are searching for a partner online you will first of all look at the profiles with photos and, secondly, you will look at the profiles where people have taken the time to write something about themselves. So if you have no photo and/or an incomplete and uninformative profile, dont be surprised if you inbox isnt full to the brim with messages!
Im going to share a few tips with you to get you started writing an eye-catching profile. Once youve read them take some time to think about what you are going to write and jot down some quick notes before hitting the keyboard.
1. Grab a friend
If you dont like writing about yourself or think you are going to get writers block its a good idea to enlist the help of a friend; the kind of friend who is always saying to you I cant understand why youre still single, youre such a catch. Ask your friend what your star qualities are and he or she will come up with a million and one positive things about you which you would have never thought of or dared to say about yourself.
2. Strike a pose
The most effective way to get noticed online, is to include a photo. Choose a clear photo that shows in your best light and preferably smiling - it makes much better viewing!
3. Choose a fun username
This is the name which you will be known as by members on the dating site. I would advise you to use a name other than your real name to remain anonymous. Try and choose a name that is fun and reflects your personality, i.e. Sporty Sam or Disco Queen. Do not use a name which is sexually provocative or offensive.
4. Captivate your audience
Make your profile really stand out so that any person reading it will think Wow, I have to get to know this person!
Online dating sites have made it easy for you when completing your profile by providing drop down menus for basic questions such as your appearance, lifestyle, hobbies but you will also be given additional space to write something yourself. Use this space wisely to provide a more detailed description about your personality, your interests and what you are looking for. The key is to be confident and talk positively about yourself without coming across bigheaded.
5. Dont leave an empty space
If you feel you have covered everything by answering the profile questions please do not leave the additional space blank or write ask me, tell you later or I dont know what to say. Members will see your profile and think youre either not serious about dating or that if you cant be bothered to put some effort into writing a profile you will have the same approach in a relationship effortless! Instead extend on the information already provided, for example, if you have stated you like travelling talk about some of the places you have visited.
6. Ask questions
If there is a particular place you visited and fell in love with, ask anyone who has been there to get in touch with you so you can reminisce together. Asking a question in your profile makes it easy for other members to respond to.
7. Be Honest
Dont lie about interests; you will get found out! For example, dont say you love long walks in the countryside if you really like to dance the night away in nightclubs every weekend. Youll attract the wrong person and waste both of your time.
As with any other kind of dating, it is always best to be honest from the start so answer all questions honestly and finding your perfect match will be much easier!
8. Show your funny side
I think if you can make someone laugh or someone makes you laugh, youre on the path to a good relationship. Show people that you have a sense of humour, e.g. talk about a scene from one of your all time favourite comedies and you may strike a chord with someone else who found the same thing just as funny as you.
9. Dream a little
Write about your dreams and ambitions. If your dream is to travel the world but you havent quite got round to it there may be someone out there who would like to share this experience with you. If youve been lucky enough to fulfil your dreams, share your story with other members.
10. Dont mention the ex!
Ok, so you may have just come out of a relationship and be feeling sad and lonely but dont write about it. It will put a lot of people off and you may come across desperate, which is not an attractive trait. Make online dating a new start for you and promise yourself not to dwell on past relationships.
11. Your expectations
What are your expectations from joining an online dating site? Tell people the kind of relationship you are hoping to find but dont say you are looking for marriage if you are really looking for a casual fling and vice versa. Again, you will waste both of your time.
12. Write a chapter, not a book
By this I mean, dont tell your whole life story in your profile. I encourage you to provide as much information as possible about yourself but use short bursts of information, sectioned by paragraphs, rather than writing a long essay so whoever is reading it is intrigued to find out more about you.
13. Be safe
Finally, do not include any personal information in your profile, e.g. your e-mail address, home address, work address or telephone number. A reputable dating site will remove any personal information before it appears live on site; this is to ensure that they provide you with a safe online dating environment.
Once youve completed your profile, read through it or ask a trusted friend to read through it and ask, would you reply to this person? If yes, its all systems go. If no, look at the areas where it can be improved until youve created that winning profile. It may take longer than 5 or 10 minutes but the results that will show in your inbox will be worth it!

Frankly speaking, the term "mail order bride" is insulting to Russian women in general because they don't want to be perceived like that. It is a term that is compared with shopping through a catalog and picking your product and then purchasing it. It's not something that they are like. They want men to know that dating a real Russian woman is challenging. Also, they know that the promise of a better life in the United States or the U.K. is no longer the "holy grail" as they once thought it was. Russian ladies know what is going on in Western Cultures and they know that it is not as grand as they once thought.
Online dating websites and matchmaking services have improved over the years, and the term Russian mail order brides means more than just a few letters and picture of a woman. It means real interactive communication with the woman that you are interested in, may be even your future bride. Agents are aware and more experienced when it comes to finding the best match for you, and their goal is to do that. They know about the Russian scams and they are trying to do their best to get rid of them completely.
Before starting your searching for a Russian bride, you should explain to your matchmaker what you are really looking for. Specify what type of profile you are looking for and why. Men sometimes are searching for a bride in Russia just for a thrill of meeting a lady who is different than what they are used to see at home. The truth is, the women have real feelings and want someone who is interested in true love and marriage. These women are hoping you might be the one to treat them well, and respect them. Marriage is a serious step and taking on a Russian bride is not a game. If you are only looking for a temporary date or a one night stand then it is better to make this clear right from the beginning. Otherwise you can risk ending up with someone that loves you but you will never love. Russian ladies in love are very loyal and you might feel bad about eventually having to hurt her feelings. There are many examples of very successful relationships between Russian women and foreigners.
Make sure that you know what you are looking for. Learn to read between the lines to see if the woman is really interested in communication with you. Get to know her well before asking her to marry you, and make sure she is the one you will always love.
