The 3 most important elements for a successful profiles
01. Photos, Photos, Photos!
Some think that profiles without photos may not be real, or are posted by people who are embarrassed to be seen on an online dating site, and hence aren't really that serious about dating anyway. This may mean you don't get as many messages from other members for the wrong reasons! Having a profile without a photo...is a bit like having a car with no tires.
If you create a profile and you do not include your photo, the odds of people responding to you, or even reading your profile, are very low. There are thousand of profiles, honestly to many to read, so people will browse through images and stop where it catches their eye. It is about the visual, the attraction, the "seeing is believing". Unfortunately there are to many information that today's internet users have to digest, so make it easy to stand out and create an honest portrait of yourself.
You came here to meet someone, to find a certain type of person or character. Since you go through all the efforts to establish your online profile, you might as well do it right, show people who you are, let them see you and it will give you the best odds to find who you are looking for. Whoever you do not like or bothers you, we give you the option to block them out on our website.
Online dating is a a very good tool to find people that fit your criteria but at the end of the day you have to "see" who you are dealing with, or, even better at the beginning of the day!
Words can say so much and really portrait one part of your personality but photos will say more than a thousand words and about 90% higher odds to be noticed. Think about that!
02. Headlines!
Headlines give an immediate impression of your character or personality or what you could be like. A tiny small line can say a lot about you.
Example:
Headline: "Blah, Blah, Blah."
These kinds of headlines do not say anything about what you are looking for, or who you could be. It reflects negativity, disappointment or carelessness.
The hidden or obvious message in this headline is: "Nothing"...so people will most-likely pass on this one!
- or -
Example:
Headline: "Looking to make it last"
This headline says a lot, enough to open the profile and see what else there could be. It reflects a positive attitude, long-term goals and sincerity. It creates curiousness so most people will open this profile, because that is what you are here for, right?
The hidden or obvious message in this headline is: " I am looking for someone that I can love for a long time, someone for a serious relationship.
03. Describe Yourself, be honest, be positive.
Be Concise
It is important to be as concise as you can, nobody wants to read pages and pages of profiles detailing your life history! You don't want to tell them everything straight away anyway! Try and pick out some key pointers, highlights, things that you may have in common with others and might make a talking point and give them a reason to contact you.
Be Positive
It's always a good idea to highlight positive things about yourself rather than the negatives or weak points, or bad experiences. Other online daters could be put off by a profile that describes sorrow, or portrays a sad or even depressive nature in somebody. Try and sound upbeat and approachable. Talking about past relationships of being hurt in the past is also a big no-no. Not many people want to meet someone with a lot of "baggage", or may be a bit of a prickly character. Sociable, outgoing personalities who appear friendly are likely to have much more success on an online dating site, so bear this in mind without trying to be someone you aren't.
Say What You Are Looking For
Are you looking to meet friends, sporting partners, travel companions or the love of your live? The main thing to bear in mind is what you think is important and what you would like to see in another person? If you're too specific it may take a much longer time to find anyone that fits your criteria and you could be missing plenty of other people for the wrong reasons, such as they are too tall or short!
Decide what's important to you, but keep an open mind. Everyone could say they're looking for a good sense of humor, attractive and outgoing people. Try and think beyond this, to narrow down your options without sounding too particular, or worse, materialistic.
Some internet dating sites ask you to describe the sort of single person you're looking for, ranging from anything as specific as their height, hair color, and age, down to their likes and dislikes. FrenchKissDate.com has matchmaking facilities, matching you on criteria to other people on the site.
Take all the above in consideration, we hope it helps you to create a great profile that brings you a lot of responses and connects you to the right people.
