The 9 Essential Rules For Writing Your Online Dating Profile

Now, instead of determining on your third date how you’ll tell people you met just in case it ever comes up, people are proudly proclaiming which of the countless dating apps they used to find their one true love. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration. While online dating is more popular than ever , it can be incredibly frustrating to try to sift through hundreds of profiles that all start to look the same, to find someone worthy of spending your Saturday evening with.

While different apps utilize different interfaces, varying requirements for messaging, and range from free to surprisingly expensive , they do share one thing in common: But it isn’t impossible. I spoke to online dating and relationship experts as well as people who work for different dating sites to find out how to tell if a guy could be boyfriend material, based on his profile alone.

Beginning with online dating’s strengths: As the stigma of dating online has diminished over the past 15 years, increasing numbers of singles have met romantic partners online.

Your online dating profile is no different. It’s the first introduction a man has to you. You are literally marketing yourself to the male population online. For some women that sounds horrid but in real life we do it all the time. The only difference is in real life you have time to immediately correct a faux pas. So you need your profile to show you off in a way that will catch a man’s eye and interest right away.

Since this is your first meet and greet, you want your profile to sound flirty and fun. That’s how you would be in real life. Think again about when you met someone in person.
